Dim & Co. , says : An extending use of money in invesfr nienLs and buoyant security markets r fleets tlie better tone which now charac terizes improving business conditions. Crop reports continue to be uniformly encouraging , and sustained profitable re turns impart a. more cheering outlook for the industries. Further recovery is made clear by wider demands for finished products , ad ditions to active capacity and hands em ployed. There is also a further sign of strength in the volume of payments through the banks , the daily average be ing now J ) per cent above that during Tune. It is notable at this time that new de mands in the leading productive lines come forward more freely , and there is a disposition to increase furnace and steel outputs , > vliile there is also favorable con sideration given to plans for heavy con struction. A large number of factories run closer to their capacity , especially in rails , wire , farm implements , furniture and footwear. Much building work is now hurried , and there are more mercantile structures and extensions contemplated , thus strengthen ing the demand for future consumption of lumber , quarry products , plumbing mate rials and structural iron. The markets for the principal raw ma terials maintain the recently noted re cuperation , and the improved absorption of supplies imparts a healthier tone to commitments. Weather conditions proved exceptional ly helpful in leading retail lines , and at no time hitherto have stocks of summer merchandise been so satisfactorily reduc ed. Bank clearings , . 521S.31SG3G , are 5.1 per cent under those of the corresponding week in 1907. Failures reported in the Chicago dis trict number Co , against 30 last weei and 29 a year ago. Those with liabili ties over $ .1,000 number 8 , against 1C last week and 3 in 1907. NEW YORK. Good crop reports , the advance of tht season and growth in confidence as to the trade outlook are reflected in reports ol moderate enlargement of future buying' a few large centers , notably in the West and Southwest. Industrial lines , too , have been benefited by evidences of re vival in demand and the number of idle operatives has been reduced as a whole. Still the progress making is of a very con servative kind , curtailment of industry is still a marked feature and small orders for immediate shipment largely make up the volume of business doing by jobbers. Retail trade is fair as a whole , being stimulated by price reduction sales , though complaint of stocks not moving rapidly come from some cities , and collections - lections show little if any improvement. Best reports come from the central West , Northwest and Southwest and the excellent - lent outlook for the cotton crop makes for a better tone of advices from tha South. lousiness failures in the United States for the week ending July 23 number 203 , against 258 last week , in. ) in the like week of 1907 , 171 in 190G , 197 in 1903 , and 174 in 1904.

Tbe first report of the annual spring output of the Nome gold warkiags places the total at 3,500,000. o/ > The lowheaded tree Is here to stay because it ought to be. It Is downright cruelty to keep fowls in yards that are not well shaded. The place for the brood mare is in the harness every day until foaling time. The hen that lays three eggs a week will pay double the profit of one that produces but two eggs. Avoid feeding hay or dusty roughage Just previous to milking. There is too much dust to drop into the milk pail. The American Shorthorn Breeders' Association has recently shipped a car load of Shorthorn bulls to Old Mexico. A horse in good condition can exist about twenty-five days without food , \ BO long as he has plenty of water to ' drink. If the late hatched chicks are allow ed to run wth the early birds the little fellows will get the worst of it at i feeding time. I A handy pruning tool is a sharp chisel in the end of a stiff pole. Set I against a limb and struck with a mal- 1 let a clean cut is made. Where a farm cannot be cultivated by machinery , people are learning that wise Intensive cultivation of garden stuffs brings large returns. It Is a mistake to fill the holes half fuli of manure when planting trees. Soil should be mellow for three feet nil around , but not too wet Thousands of chickens die from bow el trouble during the summer months , j This is generally caused by wet feed , J which sours quickly during the hot weather. If the hens are allowed to run through the dew-laden grass every day I or two they are not likely to bo trou bled with scaly legs , which are caused by parasites. Turkeys , the night before killing , should be given no food but plenty of water. This leaves an empty craw , clean intestines and makes the dark meat comparatively light. N. F. 'Murray says a man who sold $5,000 worth of apples from a forty- j acre sod orchard one season broke it up and cultivated it the next year and Bold his crop for $12,000. We are apt to neglect the hens as soon as they begin to fall off in egg ' production. Careful and regular feed- j ' ! ing , however , will keep up the egg sup ply fairly well , eren during hot weath er. There is no present or future danger of over production in the dairy field. We are hardly able to keep pace with the demand. This indicates a need of more concentrated effort more efficient methods. The Jersey cow Is a highly developed milk-fiiaklug machine. She Jias been bred so long for this purpose that her characteristics have become fixed , and the descendants of a well-bred dairy . cow can be depended upon. The amount i of milk that she will make depends i largely on the amount of food that you ? an get her to use. Chaired Cobs for Plsrs. The pigs should have access to a pile of charred cobs or dry wood ashea , as It Is beneficial in correcting the acidi and aids in the bone development ot the animal. Tbe elements which go to bone-building animals are imparted to them -when they are enabled to get charcoal and it is quite as Important as salt Charcoal will also tend to prevent worms in hogs and cattle. Shade for Chick * . We pity the fowl - or chick that is onprovided with shade during hot , sweltering days. If you have no nat ural shade in the way of shrubs or trees , make a frame of boards and cover with muslin or canvas. The hens begin to look ragged ow ing to losing their feathers. They are beginning to molt and need extra care and attention during this period , seas as to get them over the molting period as quickly as'possible. Plenty of nour ishing food should be given them and their quarters kept clean and free from lice. Add.i Lilfo to Fence Posts. Impregnation with creosote has been greatly cheapened by the introduction of the "open tank , " which can be in stalled at a cost of from $30 to $45 , or much less if an old boiler is used. Av tank with a bottom twelve feet square in area will suffice for treating forty or fifty six-inch posts a day , or double this number when two runs per day can be made. The price of crcoslte is about 10 cents per gallon in the East and Mid dle West , 1C cants per gallon on the Pacific coast , and 27 cents per gallon in the Roriiy mountain states. The cost of treating a post will therefore vary from 4 to 15 cents. Properly treated It should give Berrice for & 1 least twenty years. Experiments of the forest service show that with preservative treatment the durability of lodgepole pine in Idaho Is increased sixteen years. The cost of creosote is there rela tively high , yet by treating posts there is a saving , with interest at 0 per cent , of 2 cents per post yearly. A detailed description of experi ments in preserving fence posts , togeth er with practical suggestions for treat ing them on a commercial scale is con tained in circular 117 of the forest ser vice. Write to the forester at Wash ington. Wlmt the COYF Must Do. A study of the records of Individual cows at the New Jersey station show ed that but little profit can be de rived from a cow that does not pro duce 5,000 pounds of milk per year , particularly if the product is sold at the low price of one cent per pound no stronger argument is needed in favor of the necessity of testing the ani mals , and thus learning their exact value , than is afforded by these rec ords. Furthermore , the facts brought out by the records indicate that there is but little profit from a cow that does not produce 200 pounds of butter per year , and point to the necessity of a careful selection of cows for the but ter dairy. Weekly Witness. Land a Safe Investment. Whenever people begin to talk of hard times and capital becomes timid Improved farm lands come into good demand. This has been illustrated once more since the financial flurry of last fall , as more people are now looking for rea ! estate investments than at this time last year. There will be no depreciation , there fore , in farm values this season , and probably some advance will be noted. People know that well located real es tate is as safe as the government it self. - The question whether farming pays much or little is not considered when men and women are looking for abso lutely sound Investments. The land is always there. It can neither be sto len nor burned. With a rapidly de veloping population the time is not far off when every acre of unoccupied laud in the United States will be wanted at more than Is asked for it to-day. A truth which can easily be demon strated is that farm land is too cheap. It almost invariably goes at the mini mum value. Government homesteads and other low-priced land in the West account for the low prices in the East. This is a passing condition. In fact , the whole nation comprehends to-day that the area of unreasonably cheap farms is near the end. Feeding Poultry by Machinery. Feeding and fattening poultry by machinery ! Well , what next ? Re sponsible for this latest usurpation of nature's functions are the French , those people who are past masters In every thing having to do with the preparation and serving of food and the enjoyment of it , too. Although the idea of feeding poultry by machinery hasn't been long on these shores , several hundred persons are engaged in the business , and nearly a million dollars is invested. Machine- fattened poultry is to be found In ev ery Important market of the land. While the Idea , as stated before , came from France , Americans , with their usual cleverness in adopting the prod ucts of other brains , have improved upon the mehanlcal agencies. A sheet metal tank or bucket , hold ing about four gallons of food and standing upon three legs , forms the upper part of the American machine. A rubber tube about a foot long runs from the receptacle ; it is about the size of one's thumb when it is attach ed to the machine and tapers to the size of a little finger at the other end. Operated by the foot , a treadle is con nected with a little sliding door in the bottom of the bucket When this door is opened by a movement of the treadle a quantity of food is forced through the tube and down the fowl's throat When one wishes to feed a fowl he seizes it by the legs , opens its bill and pushes the rubber tube down its throat until the nozzle nearly reaches the crop. Then he works the treadle , forcing food down tEe fowl's throat until the crop is filled. Some operators are so expert that they can feed 400 chick ens an hour with the machine. It is claimed on behalf of the ma chine that poultry will fatten In half the time If fed this way , and that the meat will have a better flavor. The fowl kept sfuffed all the time , regard less of its natural appetite , Is bound to get fat Most of the fatteners feed a mixture of corn meal , oat meal and milk. It must be soft enough to pass readily through the rubber tube of the feeder. It Is asserted that feeding by machin ery Is not cruel and that a chicken soon learns to open its bill voluntarily for the nozzle. IntereHtiiij ? Bits.
