New York. Jan. 27. Peace ru

basis of a moderate professional sell
ing movement in to-day's brief ses
sion.
Shipping stocks, motors and a varie
ty of is-sues more or less remotely re
j garded as war shares were pressed for
sale at extreme declines of - to almost
j 4 points. United States Steel also
yielded a point with other prominent
i industrials and equipments.
Kails were completely ignored, aside
i fro ma three-point advance in Minne

prominent transportation stocks were

RED LACE D CORNISH
j Cornish fowls, while game-like in
(Character, are classed as English
fowls, because they were originated in
'Cornwall, Wales, about 60 years ago.
j The original Cornish was produced
by crossing Aseel (imported from In
! dia) with Derby Black Red Game of
' England and a later addition of Ma-
I lay blood. This produced a large,
i heavy, full-breasted chicken with
| heavy things, yellow legs and skin,
'and which was esteemed for its table
; qualities both in the country of its
I origin and later in other parts of
! Great Britain and in America. Its
| originators gave it the name of Indian
j Game; others called it Cornish Indian
Game, and within a few years it has
| become known as Cornish. either

With Marked Success
Poultrymen Will Do Well to
Take Their Wives Into
Partnership
By Michael K. Boyer
Poultry Editor of The Farm Journal.
It has been demonstrated that from
50 to 100 hens l*ept by an energetic
woman will yield a profit of $2 per
bead, and there will still be plenty of
egtrs and poultry left for the home
demand. As a "pin-money" enter-
I prise hens have no equal.
! On many of the farms, especially in
the West, the poultry is given in
I charge of the women of the house
hold. It is work naturally adapted to
women: it calls for patience and at
tention, and at the same time kind
ness and gentleness—traits that do
; not always dwell in the sterner sex.
There is no event in connection with
j poultry culture during the year, which
| has not its interest for those who
care for innocent creatures of the
| farm yard—whether it is feeding the
stock, gathering the eggs, hatching]
out the chicks, or culliffg the flocks in
the Fall to meet the capacity of the'
winter quarters. They all have their
charm, and excite the interest and i
I sympathy of those who have a love 1
! for the work.
j Physiologists tell us that our Amer- !
i ican women lose health and beauty!
earlier than (hey should, for want of i
! sufficient out-of-door air and exer- j
! else. Whether or not this is true, we I
may be certain that the poultry busi
