Otherwise the market was dull with a tendency to ease on unfavorable political news, good weather and generally fa vorable crop news. Liverpool houses were also buying May here, which may be significant in vie wof the above cable advice. Fear of the technical situation in New York and the large professional bull interest lu tbe summer positions there check sellllng right along and is greatly responsible for the narrowness of the market.

FLOODS AND IRON MARKET The iron and steel market in all parts of the country was brought to a sudden stand still the middle of last week by unprece dented flood*, which swept over Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, summarily putting out of commission Iron and steel works and blast furnaces along the Cuyahoga, Mahoning, Shenango, Allegheny and Ohio rivers. Great est damage, perhaps, was done In the valley district, particularly at Youngstown, Sharon and New Castle. All of the steel works,. blast furnbees, foun dries and machine shops along the Allegheny river in Pittsburg were put out of commis sion, and industries on smallor streams m western Pennsylvania were flooded. La Belle Iron Works, Steubenville, 0., on the Ohio river, and the Mark Mfg. Co., at Zanesville, O., on the Muskingum river, and practically every industry in the Wheeling district were inun dated.

M. Byers & Co., are included among the larger Interests that were forced to discontinue operations at one or more plants. Affected Industries are emerging from the chaotic condtions, and within a week or ten days practically all of the plants ln the flood zone again will be operating. Much depends, however, upon the ability of railroads to move coal, coke and semi-finished steel. One of the most remarkable features of the entire situation has been the rapid restoration of normal conditions. Demand for all lines of prompt material will be heavy, as there will be considerable bridge bifllding, and temporary structures will require a heavy volume of material. Practi cally every blast furnace In the flood zone was forced to bank, and two furnaces in the valley districts tha£ were on the verge of going out for a relining, had to be shoveled out as a result of high waters. Smallor interests, perhaps, suffered greatest fluacial loss as they were not 1 prepared to meet he abnormal conditions, and are not well able to make necessary repairs. A more detailed report con cerning the vast extent of the floods and tholr direct effect upon the markets In general, ap pears elsewhere in this issue.—The Iron Trade Review. Indian Raunner Ducks f HERB was never any one va riety of the feathered tribe that has enjoyed such a boom or that has created such an Interest in thfe poultry world as has the coming of the Indian Run ner duck. Many breeders found it very profitable at first and cleaned up considerable money out of this craze. But, from a fancy stand point Indian Runner ducks have practically settled to a commercial basis and the fancy prices are not so readily paid for either ducks or eggs as they were a few years ago. They, like the Belgian Hare craze, have stocked the country. But, be it said to their credit, I believe and am thoroughly con vinced that they have shown the poultry world that in this variety of ducks we have found some thing that certainly will produce eggs and can he depended upon, and have also found something that will thrive and multiply under almost any conditions in any sec tion of the country. The country could not have been so quickly stocked and in such great numbers if they had not been hearty and prolific. Therefore, I think they have been one of the greatest ad ditions fro in a commercial or pro ducing standpoint that has ever been given us, and any person with a good flock of Indian Runner ducks half-way attended to can usually have a supply of fresh eggs always on hand for imme diate use. This is something that up until the time of their coming to us could not be said of any va riety of chickens or ducks to any thing like the extent that can be said of the Indian Runner. We all know that eggs are a staple food and are in demand three hundred and sixty-five days in the year at some kind of a market price, and when these ducks supply the immense amount of eggs that they do almost the year around, I think that we should give them due credit and feel proud to know that we have discovered among the feathered tribe such a valuable gift, and while ducks are objectionable to hundreds of poultry fanciers, there are on the other hand thousands of people who will keep them because they can be depended upon to produce eggs and make money for most any one under ordinary care and attention. There fore, they will always be popular and profitable, and the sooner we have more of them among us the quicker we will he able to produce more eggs than ever before. It is true that it requires considerable feed for ducks, especially where great egg yields are to he had, but during nine months of the year in most any southern climate with a large amount of grass and surplus food that can be produced.on nearly every farm and in many back yards in the cities, the people who have Indian Runner ducks can count on the eggs that the ducks will give them at a low cost of production, provided this surplus food can be had by the ducks. They are great hustlers, and if given half a chance will find a lot of this waste food that they will convert into eggs. If a person has a branch or pond on their premises they can keep ducks very cheaply, and they will thrive and do'well on much coarser or cheaper food and less expensive food than will chickens. A good free range or a meadow or grass lot of any kind is an ideal place for ducks, as they are great foragers, and it is surprising how they will tonvert tender grass into eggs if given only a small amount of more sub stantial foods to balance the green food into egg-producing materials. They like oyster sheh and grit, and it should he supplied to them in large quantities. The more I see of them the more thoroughly convinced I am that as egg machines they are hard to beat. Ducks should not be kept with poultry or allowed to use the same vessel for drinking as chickens. As a rule ducks are inclined to be filthy, especially when kept in close quarters, hut where a person has a good range they can not keep anything on their premises that will be more profitable than a small flock of Indian Runner ducks. As the fancy prices that were once paid for ducks have pracftcally ceased to exist and they have now settled on a commercial basis and at so rea sonable a price that this alone will always keep them popular, especially on the average farm. Any family can afford to keep a few ducks almost from the waste from the table, and would he sure of having fresh eggs for table use throughout the entire yean especially if they have ducks hatched at different times so that they can get a uniform supply of eggs nearly every month. I believe the day will come when White Indian Runner duck eggs will bring a premium on our markets, and I am sure one gets more value for the money spent on duck eggs than he does the average hen eggs that are sold on the market. The young ones are so easily raised and mature so quickly, and can he raised during the hot summer months, until it has made them very popular over the south, and if it had not been so this country could have never been so bountifully supplied with these ducks as quickly as it has been (practically speaking, in three of four years). They can he seen in nearly every community and are kept by thousands of people, and as I have said before, different from the Belgian Hare craze, they have a sta- pie value and can be successfully handled by most any one. ‘XtnJt Xjsa sjnoi f QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Locust Grove, Ga. Will you please answer some questions for me? 1. How to mate Brown L eg- k horns to raise the best colored fe males? Also males? * 2. How could I tame a rooster that' is so wild he looks as if he never saw a human being - ? He is so wild he is perfectly useless and is the nicest young fellow I have. 3. I have a fine Rhode Island Red used for hatching. She runs with a Leghorn rooster. If sep arated, how long will it take her eggs to get thoroughbred? Will It be a whole season? 4. What should eggs to eat bring now delivered to a special customer in Atlanta once a week? She pays express. How long should I sell them *for profit? The hens have to be fed all they get to eat except grass in a good size yard. Thank you for any information you may give. MISS J. L. W. ANSWER. The way to properly mate exhi bition Leghorns is to take the light seal brown females and mate with a very light colored male bird, too light for exhibition purposes. This mating will produce exhibition cdl- ored females. The dark females (t<J6 dark for exhibition purposes) should be mated to a standard col ored male bird, one with a black stripe on his neck and saddle. This mating will produce standard col ored males, but many of the fe males will have mottled breast and mottled legs, but the best exhi bition males are bred from this col ored females. The best way to tame the rooster mentioned is to put him in a small pen with a hen and feed a little apple several times during the day, and be gentle in handling him. .Also speak to- him every time he is fed. v You can tame the wildest bird in the shortest time in this way. Usually after the sixth egg you can depend on eggs being from the male bird the hen is mated to. However, this is not always the case. I have seen twelve eggs that were laid by a hen that was sepa rated from the male and all of them hatched, showing that it is possible for twelve eggs to be fertilized before the male was re moved. t Your question four is a hard one to answer. A customer that buys eggs regularly, when they are high and low, should not object paying 80 cents or 35 cents per dozen for strictly fresh eggs delivered in At lanta once a week. This price is about the average where a uniform number is taken or sold every week during the year. You will have to be the judge of how low you can sell eggs and make a profit where the hens have to be fed bought feed. that has been sick for two weeks, or maybe nearly three weeks. His trou ble seems to be in his throat. He eats well and looks well except his comb is a little white and at night has a rattling in his throat, but has no discharge from the nose nor eyes. I have him separated from the other birds, and have given him Conkey’s Roup cure, P. potash, sylphur, salts, turpentine and nothing seems to do much, or if any, gooa. Would you kindly advise me what you think the trouble is, and what to do for him. Any information would be appre ciated. E. H. H. ANSWER. It would be a good idea for you to give the bird mentioned a large lump of vaseline. Let him out in the sunshine where he can take ex ercise. If this does not cure him .nothing will. The permanganate of potash should be used in the drink ing water and feed mostly whole corn. QUESTION. Vienna, Ga. Please direct me how to treat roup. I have several chickens with it. G. R. M. ANSWER. The proper way to treat roup is to use permanganate of potash in the drinking water and feed plen ty of whole corn and wheat, and remove the chickens from any draught or damp quarters.
