1899 Prospects Good ,
Declares Head Of
Advertising Club
Steady Rise in Federal
Pay Roll Briehtens
D. G. Outlook
BY ALVIN @. EHRLICH,

President, Advertising Club Of washington.
Every one who has something to
sell knows that just as business de-
pends on the right Of advertising, so
does advertising depend on business.
Because Of this fact all advertisers
will be interested in the following
outlook for the District in 1899.
Government pay rolls for persons
employed in the District reached a
new peak in the year Just ended.
In November more than s2l 900 900
was paid in salaries to Government
employees in the executive branch
alone, not including District of CO.
lumbia employees or those in the
legislative and judiciary branches.
More persons than ever before are
employed by Uncle Sam in WASH
ington, insuring greater spendability
and stability.
The 1888 department store sales, a
good index of all retail business,
equal those of 1887 which was a
record-breaking year. November,
1888, sales were ~ per cent above
those of November, 1887. If the cur
rent upsWing continues-and, due to
the increasing employment and pay
rolls, there is every reason to believe
that it Wilt seems quite certain
that department store sales in 1899
will set new all-time records.
Since the Auto Show in Novem-
ber there has been a strong demand
for 1889 cars. November, 1888. sales
were 2,128, as compared to 1861 in
November, 1887. New car sales for
1888 will probably exceed $1,000 units
and present indications are that the
current buying wave will continue
through the new year.
The biggest building boom in the
history of Washington has already
been started. Government and pri-
vate construction planned for 1899
calls for an expenditure of more
than S2O0,OOO,OOO.
think it can be safely said that
Washington will be the South main
entrance to the New York World
Fair. The majority Of the people
going to the fair from the South
will naturally stop off at Washing
ton, and these visitors, spending
money in Washington, will be still
another stimulus to business.

D. Store Sales
Far Ahead of
| Year Ago

Retail trade in Washington during
the past week recorded a sharp in
crease over the same period a year
ago, department store sales showing
an average gain of 1875 per cent
the Commerce Department an
nounced yesterday. One store reg
istered decrease of 2.79 per cent,
the others reporting gains ranging
from 9.26 per cent to $3.50 per cent,
the review added. Naturally. there
was a sharp letdown from the
previous week, drop of SO per cent
being meaningless.
Building permits in the Capital
for the week totaled Sis, 900, against
$91 500 year ago. Bank clearings
amounted to S18,436981, compared
with $19843,789 in the like period
last year. Travel was a good deal
heavier on the Capital Transit lines
for the week ended December "a,
totaling passenger revenues reach
ing s230,511. against s2O6,390 in the
like 1887 period, the Commerce re-
port said.
Retail trade reports from the 5th
Federal Reserve district for the
week ending December "a, covering
Is stores in Washington, Baltimore
and other cities, showed total sales
of s3,279356 in comparison with
only s2,838,736 in the similar period
in 1887.
While final figures are not yet
available, the reported recent week.
ly gains indicate that holiday trade
in the Capital surpassed that of 1887
by comfortable margin.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Wheat prices
rose almost a cent a bushel today
before trading ended for the year.
This put the market at the highest
level since the September war scare.
The advance reflected selling
rather than any improvement in
buying. The days developments
were mostly of a constructive ma
tVe that tended to discourage SELL

continued unfavorable weather con-

belt and for anticipation OF i'm

Low Production
Costs Essential
In Milk Business
Proper Feeding Plays Impor-
tant Part. Suggestions Are
Made By Ruffner.

Low production costs are es-
sential for profitable dairying, as
for any other business, and the
ability to choose and use feeds
properly helps materially to re-
duce costs, says Prof. R. H. Ruff
ner, head of the animal husban-
dry and dairying department of
State College.
Livestock farmers should take
a tip from the automobile indus
try, which has lowered produc-
ton costs by at least Is percent
in the past 20 years, thereby
making cars available to mil
lions of Americans, Prof. Ruff
ner advised. clarifying can re-
duce the cost of their products
and make them available to
more people by studying the ad-
vantages and limitations of feeds
and their relative values" he de-
clared.
A wide variety of satisfactory
feeds are available in the South
for dairymen to choose the COM
binations which are most eff
cient and economical in balanced
rations. Because of its available
ity and low cost, cottonseed meal
is usually the protein concentrate
around which the ration is built,
Prof. Ruffner said.
Among the low-protein, or car
bohydrate feeds, of similar value
that may be used in dairy ra-
tons are: Corn meal, ground
threshed grain sorphums, ground
or rolled barley, hominy feed,
ground wheat, or ground rough
rice About one-fifth to one
fourth more of the following bull
kier feeds should be used when
they are substituted in the ra-
ton. Prof. Ruffner recommend
ed: Ground ear corn with Shuck,
ground grain, sorghum heads,
and corn and cob meal.
Excellent feeds that give best
results when they make up one
fourth to one-third of the total
ration ar: Ground oats, wheat

POULTRY

Quite often poultry flocks don't
get enough of Vitamins A and D
during the spring. To correct this
deficiency, Roy S. Dearstyne sug-
gests that cod liver oil be added
to the MACH. While green feed
may supptis. both of these vita
minis, there may be a lack of this
feed in the spring. Plenty of SUM-
shine will also help to supply
these essentials.
:. TOBACCO
After tobacco seedlings are
transplanted in the field, they
may be attacked by budworms,
says ]. o. Rowell, extension en-
tomologist. The best known me-
thod of controlling these pests is
poisoned corn meal bait. This is
made by mixing ne pound of ar
senate of lead with so pounds Of
corn meal for large quantities or
six tablespoons of the lead with
one peck Of meal for small am
cunts. A small pinch of this bait
is placed directly in the bud ear
ly in the morning. Applications
should begin about ten days to
two weeks after the plants are
set in the field and continued I'M
til the plants are topped.
