MANY BENEFIT BY DEMONSTRATION OF POULTRY "CULLING" Men and Women Show Keen Interest in Session at Martin Farm. Give the hen a chance to prove she is not a slacker before condemning her. Frequently a bird is accused of being a loafer when the fault may be traced directly to improper feeding and other forms of neglect. Decline in egg production may also be attributable to th'e selection of poor layers for breeding stock. A tubercular chicken is liable to Infect a whole flock, and great care should.be observed in watching for symptoms of presence of the disease. These fact$ and numerous others together with a ost-mortem examination of a diseased bird were developed at poultry culling demonstration on tho Weaver .Martin farm, near Wyatt yesterday,' conducted by D. J. Taylor, one of the best authorities on poultry. in St. Joseph county. The success of the initial demonstration last week had spread to all corners of the countryside. As e. result farmers, their wives, sons and daughters in large numbers forsook other duties to attend. i:plaln "Culling." Taylor pointed out that every one keeps poultry to obtain as much proht as posrible, and the only way to realize this was along proved lines of success. It is highly important that every hen kept should be a, good layer and that all cockrels except those for breeding, should b-3 sold or domestically consumed, he said. Selecting or "weeding out" tho hens that are poor layers from those that are good layers, he explained was what really was meant by "culling." It was suggested that the best time to do this work was in August and September, for at this season it is easier to determine the poor from the productive bird. During the present period of the year hens which show signs of laying, or arc laying and have not molted are usually the ones that havo been the better layers during the entire season. The hen that lays best during her first year will usually lay best rluring the second and third years, she, therefore, is the one that should be kept, it if; advised. In addition to culling the entire flock during the months indicated, it wa emphasized, that those interested in the industry should be on the constant lookout for hens that are sick or very thin in flesh, or show signs of weakness or poor vitality. When this is discovered, :t is advisable to cull them out without delay. Self Applied Test." Speaking of the characterises that help to distinguish a good laying hen from a poor layer. Taylor said, they may not all be decisively apparent and all may not agree in the came fowl. Therefore, it Is necessary to take into confederation all the different Indications and to dopend upon the agreement of a majority of them rather than one or two. If the poor from the good layer Is to be determined accurately. Describing the manner in which a hen molts, or as sometimes expressed, "shed her feathers," he said, it was almost a self applied test. It isone of the signs that are most .aj parent, and is a reasonably safe guido to follow, as most hens stop laying, or nearly so during the time they are molting. The better producers continue to lay late In the fall, he plained, and therefore do not molt until late. The . late molters also molt rapidly as a rule, while tho early molters, usually the poor layers, moit slowly. Birds that have not molted durin? this month and September will show dirty, worn or broken plumage, he said, while those that have molted early show fresh, clean plumage or growing feathers. The opinion w is expressed that it was better to keep hens that molt late, particularly if the other tests indicate that they are good producer.", as they are invariably the best layers and best breeders. Taylor suggested that early molters should be discarded. The ,shanks or legs of hens, naturally yellow in color in such breeds as Plymouth Bocks. Wyandottes and Leghorns, are pale and faded in August and September if thej have been laying heavily, it was said. Some will look more faded than ethers, but all will show a decided loss of color if the hens have been extra good producers. If the shanks- are st'U yellow in color the hen is almost sure to be a roor layer. It sometimes happens, however, a poor layer as well as a sick bird or one in poor condition will be found with a pale or white fhank. The same rule or principles app'os to breeds having yellow beaks although the color fades more quickly from the beak than the shank. The lower part of the beak bleaches faster than the upper part, but may be used as a guide where the upper half I colored too much with black cr horn color, us is found in som2 breeds. Birds were distributed among the audience and questions asked relative whether particular hens were or were not laying. While there were a number of men m the group, it was apparent that the women evinced a much better knowledge and more readily and satisfactorily answered the queries than the men. They did not hesitate to,put all sorts of questions and some of them were unique and valuable, even to such a trained expert as Taylor. A farmer r-Tnted a hen which

STOLEN MACHINE WRECKED BY THIEF

Hudson Roadster Rented by Plntner is Stolen Accident is Reported. Ceorge P'r.tner, proprietor of the Platner cigar store, was forced to walk home after closing his place of business early this morning. The police are searching f.r an abandoned Hudson roadster, owned by the Twentieth Century parage, which was rented to Platner while his car was in the repair shop, and stolen from In front of his store at 12:05 o'clock this morning. All the evidence the police had found at 2 o'clock was a license plate belonging to the car which had been knocked from the front of It when the thief had collided with a car driven by Clyde Huntsberger as he attempted to make his get-away. The Huntsberger machine suffered enly a bent mudguard, but the bumper, mudguards and headlights on the stolen machine were badly smashed, according to Huntberger, who said he saw the car slow up for a moment and then speed away. It Is the opinion of the police that the driver of the stolen car was evidently an amateur at the game and knew but little about driving. They are searching the lonesome pots on the roads leading from the city in hopes of finding the car abandoned thero. A minute description of the driver of the car was given the police by Huntsbergcr, who reported the accident a few moments after the car had been reported missing by Platner. BOARD CONFIRMS STREET PETITION Original Resolution Changed, However, Before Its Final Passage. At the meeting last night the board of Public Works confirmed the opening of a highway to extend from a south easterly line of the ght-of-way on the New York Central tracks to the north line of Ewing av. This highway has been under consideration by the bDard for some time and was first p'.anned to extend from Ewing to Sample et. It was later decided not to construct the road past the New York Central line to Sample st. and the resolution was changed. Atty. Edward Doran, representing a nilnber of residents of Ewing av. appeared before the board and entered a complaint against the proposed grade, curbing and walk for that street from Miami to Ernsberger st. The hearing was deferred. Remonstrances on the Ewing av. assessment for pavement were overruled by the board and it was decided to lay a pavement on that street from Michigan sr. to Miami. A hearing on a resolution for a pipe sewer on Paris st. from Fellows to Carroll was confirmed. A preliminary order for asphalt or cement pavement on Fellows and Milton et. was given and the awards will be given on August 30th. Remonstrances were received on the contruotion of pavement on Michigan st. from Jay to Denver av. SHOE DEALERS AND EMPLOYES "PICNIC" The annual picnic of the South Bend Shoe Retailers' association was held yesterday at Berrien Springs wdth about 75 members and their friends in attendance. The party left by automobile about 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, returning about 9 o'clock in the evening. A baseball game between the clerks and proprietors early in tho afternoon resulted in a victory for the employes after an interesting "battle." An old fashioned chicken supper was served at the Fisher dining room early in tho evening. Various sports for which prizes were offered comprised most of the program, such as swimming, boating and individual contests. The program was In charge of Alfred J. Klingel, a prominent shoe dealer of South Bend. he said had shown inactivity and had been constantly drooping for some time. He explained that he had tried experiments in feeding and other treatments to revive her, but failed. Taylor gave the bird a careful examination, and declared in his opinion, it was badly effected with tuberculosis, and the only way to ascertain the truth was to open the bird. A hasty post-mortem was staged on the lawn and only a glance at the lungs was enough to satisfy Taylor that the hen was acutelj- tubercular. He told the gathering that inertia and drooping cou'd bo taken as a fair indication of tho presence oj tuberculosis. Immediate segregation of the suspected bird from the flock should be made, and the hen house thoroughly cleansed and the flock not permitted to run on the tame range as the sick bird. Demonstration lYiday. Altogether it was an enthusiastic and interesting meeting, ot only creating mere interest in the poultry industry by the application of scientific methods, but for reasons that promise to expand it. Another denicnstr ition has been arranged by County Agent E. C. Bird, on the farm of Samuel Solders, two nult-e we?: of Likeville. Friday at 1:30. Mr. Taylor will again bein charge.

NEW LOW RECORDS MADE ON MARKET Conditions on Wall Street Undergo Uteration in Ved- ' nesday's Dealings. NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Conditions In the ptock market Wednesday un-j derwent some alteration from their recent reactionary trend. Numerous speculative Issues established newlow records for he year, but these were recovered in the vigorous rebound of the last hour. Apart from a favorable forecast of Mexican Petroleum's earnings and some activity In the steel trade, there was no specific news to account for the sudden reversal. Technical conditions or an over-extension of the shorts probably were accelerating factors. Prices Lower. Prices were lower by one to four points In the first half of the session. Bears made capital of further dividend reductions and omissions and the retention of the six per cent rate for call money, that rate holding throughout the day. C ilsi were the outstanding features, especially foreign issues. Trior to publication of Mexican Petroleum's prospective financial return, that stock, as well as PanAmerican, Shell Tran?port and Royal Dutch were under constant pressure. Independent steels and secondary equipment which are dependent upon the railre'.'idj for their sustenance also suffered variable .setbacks, with motor, chemical, fertilizer and food Issues. New York Ar Brake was the one stock to manifest little recuperat.on power, declining five points. Sales amounted to 475,000 shares. Brik Rally. A brisk rally in marks, based In part on buying for German account and intimations that impending reparations payments are likely to be anticipated, featured the foreign exchanger. London and most continental rates, notably Dutch bil's. were inciired to reac. Trading in bonds was most diversified and a steadier ton ruled in the mere important domestic and! foreign issues. Liberty Fourth 4 l-4s showed e.specrlal strength. Total sales (par value) $8,650,000. BEARS GET ADVANTAGE ON CHICAGO EXCHANGE CHICAGO. Aug. 17. Unfavorable reports about general business conditions gave an advantage Wednesday to bears in the wheat market. Prices closed heavy, 2U to 3c net lower, with September J1.19H to SLID-"; and December $1.20?; to $1.21. Corn lost U to TsJlc and oats lost 1i to Jic and provisions 15 to 50c. Alter tion of traders in wheat centered largely on official announcement that 5.700.000 people are out of work in the United States. Federal Reserve board statement about factors operating against business progress were likewise given much notice and so too were fresh declines in the New York stock market and In foreign exchange. The bulls were further handicapped by assertions that estimates of yesterday's export business had been greatly exaggerated. On the resulting breaks in wheat prices, houses with eastern connections did a good deal of buying. As a rule, however, longs showed an increased desire to !io,u!da:e their holdings, and with bears operating moro extensively rallies failed to last, notwithstanding that country offerings were light. Corn and oats descended lower than i.t any time heretofore this season. Demand was of only a scat tering character.
