; i ; t GRAIN . PRICES -; Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., , 212 Union National Bank Bui Id inc. CHICAGO. March 22. The wheat prices sit heavily on all markets. There is no confidence in 1.50 to $1.60 wheat. Many believe May wheat is on its way to $1.25. The exporting countries have enough wheat to keep Europe supplied. Crop news is wonderfully good. Corn and oats are very unfortunate in meeting this severe bear wheat market. While these levels look near bedrock there are however a few who figure corn will sell several cents lower. Current crop news appears to threaten cash wheat premiums. There 35 cars of No. 2 Hard at Chicago on which best bid is March price. Overnight only fair grain rallies are expected and new lows may arrive Wednesday. RANGE OP FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO.,': 212 Union National Bank . Buildinn. CHICAGO, March 22.

Lauine Into yf . - ELDORADO, O., March 22. With half his hens laying just at the time all other farm flocks had quit, and the price of egg3 was highest, Chester Emrick, south of here, has developed the nsuallv neglected branch of farm activities until it is an important source of income. That his flock is really ? winter lawing one is attested by his record for the month of January, when he gathered between 150 and 200 eggs a day. The highest number for that month was 204, and this was after some hens had been sold, bringing the sire of the flock down to 390. Such an egg production equals that of many un cared for farm flocks during summer months, when "anything that wears feathers, even a feather duster, will lay." This record was mado before many of Emrick's last year's pullets had started laying, and with regular egg production by them for several winter and spring months, Qmrick will be able to take full advantage of high prices. Methods Are Entertaining. Eraerick's methods of managemont by which he attains such production, are interesting. His producton is not so remarkable in comparson to other well-cared for farm flocks, many others do as well, but on Emrick's farm, all work necessary to care for the chickens has been reduced to a minimum, and this not by expensive, elaborate equipment which is so often associated with the phrase "labor-saving," but by logical arrangement of the simple equipment he has. There are two houses, the first and oldest with space for 150. The second, built recently, shows improvement, and that Emrick is still studying his business is shown by the fact that he has some changes- to recommend for the next building, if another is erected. The houses are the common type, with windows on the south, roosts on the north side, and the whole floor space used for scratching. The arrangement of the roosts offers a revolutionary change from the usual practice. Most modern houses have roosts all on the some level to avoid crowding when the hens try

FACTS About Admiralty Pocahontas COAL
We are pleased to advise that we are now able to offegyou GENUINE ADMIRALTY POCAHONTAS COAL, the kind we used to get and you know how good that is; under 5' ash and over 15,000 heat units. It goes without saying, therefore, that this is the very highest grade of Pocahontas coal mined. Last year Pocahontas coal was next to impossible to obtain on account of export shipments. This year, on account of the general depression in business and the inability of the mines to dispose of their slack, very little lump Pocahontas is being produced. Nor do conditions look favorable at this time for much improvement. We have disposed of some slack coal, in a wholesale way, and will get a car of lump for each car of slack. Not all dealers, however, are in a position to do this. We are therefore in a position to fill your cellar with this high grade fuel ADMIRALTY POCAHONTAS LUMP, EGG or MINE RUN at a price of $1 1.50 per ton on lump and egg and $9.50 per ton on mine run delivered at the curb. (Extra charge for carrying or wheeling in.) The above prices are for absolute prompt acceptance and delivery at our convenience with the understanding that as soon as tonnage which we have purchased is sold we may not be in position to make the above price, especially on prepared coal. Phone us your order and remember that there is no coal better than and few equal to ADMIRALTY POCAHONTAS.

In Emrick's houses, the roosts, on the contrary, are on a decided slant, each rear one being several inches higher than the one in front. Asked the reason for this plan, the owner stated that by it, he effected auiomat'c culling. "The hens do not crowd." be said, "as the roosts are high enough so that they leel safe, and when I am ready to cull I have only to pick the hens off the back roosts, where I will fiDd all the lazy, non productive ones who have quit work and gone to roost earliest." Cuts Labor to Minimum. Another policy that saves trouble, and increases the keeping quality of the eggs, is the absence of cocks. There is jiot a single cock on the farm, and Emrick depends on purchase of eggs or of chicks for replenishing his flock. With none but hens, the flock is quieter, can all be penned together instead of having a pen for each flock, and eggs, being infertile, will keep better. In all poultry keeping, the mos expensive labor, and the most troublesome, is, that expended in feeding the flock. Emrick has cut this to a minimum also, by using self feeders as much as possible. Wire mesh baskets hold straw in which there is mixed grain and chaff, vegetables or some substitute for green feed is suspended by strings wheat, oats or any other small grain is stored in the bundle, (saving threshing bills and extra handling) in the mow overhead, and thrown to the hens a bundle at a time. This also serves a double purpose by making a warmer house as it provides the familiar straw loft which is often recommended for this purpose alone. The mash is kept continually in flat shallow boxes with wire mesh laid over it to keep the hens from scratching it out. Water also is kept before the flock at all times, and this is important for egg production as a large proportion of the egg is water. "The first thing they do every morning," said Emrick, "is to go to that pan and take a drink of water." hogs, mostly Monday's receipts, were still in the pens at Chicago last Saturday, owners being unwilling to accept going prices on hogs of such weights last week. Many Hogs Left Over. On top of this we note the fact that one-third of the 33,000 hogs received at Chicago on Monday of this week remained in the pens on Monday night. And this in the face of receipts but half the size of Monday of last week. The general average of the receipts is very good, in spite of which heavy packers sold as low as $8 and the day's average price at $9.80 was 85

The market opened briskly on Monday morning, and the early top on a bunch of fancy 182 pound Yorkers was $11.75. the highest since last November. But the market did not hold. Prices reacted 50 to 60 cents from the best time in the morning, and the bulk of sales ! went at from SS 90 tn 511 2K with mnre than 10,000 hogs left in the pens at the close. Sheep and Lambs Higher Sheep and lambs are a bit firmer, scoring: an advance of 25 to 50 cents jover Saturday's figures, against a fin-! i ish at the low point of the week last j Saturday. Taken as a whole the live stock mar- ; ket is in a very unsatisfactory shape, j The best beef steers offered Monday 1 made a top of only $10.40 and but a few going at-that figure. Good beef steers averaged 25 cents lower last week than during the previous week and were shaded again on Monday. Just what the conferences at Washington will result in can not be foretold, either with relation to the packing house trades or the railroads. It is apparently no time to force any class of live stock on the markets. To watch, wait and go slow is the best form of action just now, in our humble opinion. Early Blooming Fruits The law of compensation works, even as to weather. The mild, open winter, with the warmest and sunniest, March experienced in years, started the sap early and the buds are unseasonably developed, particularly in the southern parts of Indiana. Illinois and I throughout most of Kentucky. This leads us to fear colder weather I to come, just when the ground should j be warming up. the gardens showing I green and fruit in bud and leaf. Peach I trees are in bloom in much of south ern Indiana and farmers are trying to avert frost damage by orchard smudges and fires, in that section. There is a large peach orchard three miles out of Vincennes to which the people of that town made a pilgrimage Sunday. It was a scene of beauty and it is to be hoped that the promise of an abundant peach crop will not prove a disappointment through frost. ! Heroic measures were taken on Mon day and Monday night to prevent such a loss and will doubtless be continued so long as the danger from frost exists. Missouri's First Nursery. The first nursery in Missouri was established more than one hundred years ago. while that territory was still a part of the great west, with settlements only along the watercourses.
