I Poultry, Pet and Live Stock Poultry, Pet and Live Stock. It is as bad to underfeed as to overfeed. Hens set in Au gust will produce chicks that will grow into first class table poultry about February. Do not use harsh methods in breaking up the broody hens. Re member that broodiness is Na ture’s provision for rest. Authorities claim that the eggs from a hen will be fertile for ten days after the removal of the male from the flock. The appearance of the fowls is not very attractive now, but when the molt ing ordeal is over they will look all the prettier. When you see a hen on hot days scratching at every bit of available earth, it means that she needs some thing you have not provided—perhaps it is grit or lime. It means, too, a loss of eggs, flesh and part of your profit. Constantly watch for lice. They in crease with the heat. These torments are not slow to take advantage of any oversight or neglect on your part. A good many people seem to rely upon drugs to help in the cure of ail ing fowls, rather than upon sanitary conditions to prevent them. If our chicks or older fowls are not thrifty, let us look into our methods and find out where we are to blame. Two essentials are absolutely neces sary to raise summer hatched chicks: First, an abundance of fresh air; sec ond. protection from the heat of the »un. These late hatched peepers need all the air that can get in through large openings in the coop. Cover these openings with screen wire and the thicks will be safe at night. Hens afflicted with scaly leg can not possibly give the best service In egg production, and rough shanks look bad. Rub the entire leg and foot with clean grease of any kind. If it’s a bad case repeat the operation until cured. Molting season is at hand. The heavyweight ducks’ laying sea son ends this month. Pullets hatched In March should b -1 laying now. A good time to market stock not needed is right now. This is the time of the year when a good tonic, like iron, is helpful. Caponizing can be done this month We like to get our old hens off this month. The market usually is pretty good now, and it gives us a chance to do better by those ‘hat are left. Takes a bit more of care to have eee-s fresh very long these days. A good, cool cellar is a fine place to keep them. But sell them about as fast as possible. Good time now to save a lot of fine grass for next winter. Hens have tided many a farm over pretty hard sledding. When the hens begin to climb trees to roost, it is time to look to the venti lation and cleanliness of the houses.— Farm Journal. EggS.

Austin, Texas, wires: “Weather threat ening; rain expected anj- moment; 15 new bales here today.” Government shows a temperature aver age for the state of Texas of only 94 de grees and of 84 degree in Oklahoma. Only six stations in Texas show temperature of 100 or above, against 28 stations the day before. Galveston wires: “First bales are being received in central Texas earlier than last year.' Brownwood seven days earlier. Look for heavy August movement.” New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Opinion played a curious role yesterdaj and the course of the cotton market re flected the near presence of a climax of some sort. It was the ,old story of con fidence in the scope, magnitude and ben eficial results of privately reported rains in the West, shown by one faction, con flicting with the close adherence bj - the other faction to the official reports of . comparatively little rain In the West. ' The trouble here lies in the fact that the 1 government data are made up at 8 o’clock 1 In the morning, while the brokerage house ; correspondents have free access to the , wires all day long. On rainfall the gov ernment plays the part of historian, while | the Individual may be a prophet, a guess ' er, a liar or an enthusiast. And so It follows that on Texas precipitation, one school of speculation depends squarely on the belated but accurate official rec ords. while the other school, the wish of 1 ten being father to the thought, accepts i without question any message that sug , gests rain in the West during the drouth I season. Under such circumstances the contract market sometimes lacks the 1 trained guidance of the cautious and ( skillful speculator. Yesterday’s market j was an excellent illustration of off day i doings. Nevertheless today's develop : ments will he required to show whether the three days' reaction, of 64 points on ( New Orleans October was justified by j better crop weather, or whether the play j bf the reactionary has been merely a crude | way of temporarily breaking values.

By CHARLES W. STORM. Mali YORK, Aug. 2. A strong under tone marked the opening of the stock market today, nearly all of the leading issues scoring Initial gains of from ', to % points. After the first few minutes of trading, however, irregularity developed and the best figures were generally shaded. Firmness was shown by "such market leaders as Union Pacific. Southern Pa cific. Steel common. Great Northern pre ferred. Northern Pacific, Consolidated Gas, Reading, Atchison and Lehigh Valley. Interborough preferred was one of the strongest features with a gain of nearly a point. Canadian Pacific was off 1 point on profit-taking. American shares were firm in the Lon- ! don market, but dealings were narrow. Canadian Pacific was off on profit-taking, lhe curb market opened irregular. In the late forenoon an easier tone de veloped on profit-taking sales: and a num ber of stocks receded fractionally.’ Steel common held firm, while the preferred declined The majority of the railroad stocks were steady. International Har vester was exceptionally strong, moving up a point to 124**. Business was small in the last hour of trading and the market leaders in dicated very little change from the mid day prices. Westinghouse and interna tional Harvester were strong, making further fractional gains. Slight losses were sustained in Steel. Amalgamated, New York Central and Reading. The market closed easier.
