HELPFUL HINTS

Glue that has become hard and
dry in the bottle will be better If
softened with a few drops of glycerin
instead of a lot of water.
An excellent way to keep salt from
hardening in the saltcellar is to mix
a little cornstarch with the salt be-
fore filling the cellar.
A teaspoon of ammonia in a tea
cup of water applied with soft rag
will clean silver, etc.
Milk which is slightly soured may
be made fit for use by stirring in a
little soda.

CARING FOR THE DOG

Many words have been spoken on
the care of the dog, but none wiser or
easier to put into practice than those
from A. H. Leonard, head of the dog
department of the Purina Mills. He
says, Keep things about your dog
clean, see that he gets regular ex-
ercise, treat him kindly, give him
balanced food. and you'll go a long
ways toward keeping his tail wagging
and his eyes glistening."

Burrell goes on to point out that in
order to build strong healthy bird,
the pullet must go into the laying
period with a good reserve of vitamin
A stored up in it's body. 1T draws on
this reserve as 1t goes through the lay
ing period.
Growing Feeds Need Vitamin A
I'm the past, poultry raisers have
had to depend on alfalfa leaf meal,
corn meal and fish oils to supply the
vitamin A needs of the growing pull
let. Both alfalfa leaf meal and corn
meal are bulky feeds and it is impos-
sible to include enough of each in the
growing ration to build up large re-
serve of vitamin A. The vitamin A
fish oil deteriorates rapidly when
mixed in feeds.
"The new vitamin A concentrate,
Pur-a-tene, supplies in concentrated
form, an abundance of vitamin A. 1t
Is derived from carotene, yellow col
ored substance called 'pro-vitamin A.
When Pur-a-tene goes through the
liver of an animal it becomes colorless
vitamin A, the same as is found in cod
liver oil, Yellowcolored pro-vitamin
A as found in Pur-a-tene is very stable
when mixed in feed"
PuIIet on Range Need It
Even pullets on range need an abun-
dance of vitamin A in their ration, &C
cOrding to Burrell. "Green stuff Is
rich in vitamin A in the spring when
chicks are small" he says, "but as
the pullet grows older and it's vitamin
A needs increase, the hot summer sun
burns up the green stuff and reduces
its vitamin A content greatly. Science
has put Pur-a-tene in the growing RAJ
tion to overcome this and give pullets
the vitamin A they really need"

LIVESTOCK BRINGS

Packers Paid Farmers Near.
Iy $1,000, 900 More a Day,
Institute Reports.
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated. Press.
CHICAGO, December 28.-The
meat-packing industry paid nearly
1000, 900 more per day for the farm
ers' live stock in 1886 than in 1885,
William Whitfield Woods. president Of
the Institute of American Meat Pack
ers. reported.
The total paid for live stock was
estimated by the institute at approx
mately $l.820, 900 900. compared with
81 ATT .000, 900 in 1895.
An improved domestic demand for
meat and a substantially increased
supply of live stock were the factors
which made this increased payment
possible. Woods said.
Current prices Of many meat prod
ucts. both wholesale and retail. are
lower than a year ago as a result Of
the increased supply. he said.
Declines in wholesale prices of bet
ter known pork cuts range from Z
to 21 per cent in the case of fresh
pork loins. shoulders. butts and spare
ribs. and from 10 to 81 per cent for
smoked hams and bacon. Representa-
tive grades of fresh beef and veal are
from to 9 per cent lower and lamb
Is II to "a per cent down.
Woods said consumption of meat
and lard per capita apparently rose
from approximately l29 pounds in
1885 to 141 pounds in 1886.
He said the amount of meat i'm
ported into the country in 1886 prob
ably came closer to balancing the
amount exported than at any time in
history. Imports totaled approximate
ly l38.000,000 pounds. compared with
$1,000, 900 in 1885. Exports were ap-
proximately $4,000. 900 pounds. COM

SHARP RISE SEEN
IN TRADE CREDIT
Higher Bank Loan Trend
Draws Attention to Con.
troll Powers.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 2S.-Busi-
ness appetite for credit has revived
so fast since last Summer the rising
bank loan trend promises to draw .
lot Of attention in the new year from
Wall Street and Washington.
Some Wall Streeters, In fact, see
credit expansion and its control as
likely to become the major topic Of
financial interest for 1887. They take
their cue partly from recent Wash
ington moves to tighten the credit
brakes, including the plan announced
by the Treasury last week to keep
new gold acquisitions from entering
the banking system and becoming
part of the already huge base for
potential loan increase.
Regarded as Precaution.
Washington's action SO far has been
regarded in financial circles as pre-
cautionary handling Of the brakes in
preparation for more drastic applica-
ton in event the credit machinery
attains dangerous speed.
Since June so-called "other" loans
of reporting member banks of the
Federal Reserve System in leading
cities have expanded more than
$3.50, 900, 900, the biggest upturn since
the downward spiral of credit and
price defiation got started after the
1929 stock market crash.
These loans. covering borrowing
outside the categories of security.
real estate and trade paper loans.
generally are followed in banking
quarters as the best indicator Of
business demand for credit.
Security Loans Lag.
In contrast, there has been little
expansion in bank loans against Sc
curities despite the further rise Of
share and bond prices this year
Brokers attribute this in part to the
lid the Reserve Board has put on
loans for security speculation. with
margin requirements raised early in
the year to make the cash ante IS
per cent Of the market price of a
stock.
"Other" loans now are more than
$500 .000, 900 ahead of the comparable
figure last year. Talk of need for
credit expansion as vehicle Of busi-
ness recovery has been yielding to
discussion Of controlling the rising
loan trend to prevent another un-
stable boom.

STEEL RATESTAYS

Operations Unchanged

NEW YORK, December 28.-Opera.
tions in the steel industry for the cur
rent week were unchanged at ITO per
cent of capacity. the American Iron &
Steel Institute estimated today.
A month ago operations averaged
75.s per cent Of capacity, while year
ago the rate was 46.7 per cent.
A spokesman for the institute ex-
planned that, while the operating per-
centage was unchanged from the be-
ginning Of the previous week, the
actual volume of steel to be turned
out by the industry in the current
period will be greater.
The preceding period was a five-day
week. allowing for the Christmas holi-
day. New Year day Is not a holiday
in the mills, so present operations will
extend for six days.

futures selling at the peak since April,
1928, and hides. raw silk, crude rubber.
rye, wheat, barley and oats at the best

Fears Of adverse developments In

A heavy foreign demand was noted,
with buying orders coming from all

marked the opening of the London
Rubber Exchange when the staple

the highest in seven years. Speculative
purchases abroad were held largely re-
sponsible for the present bull market.
Export copper sold at 1922 cents

moved up from 005 of a cent to 0.09 of
