WOOL 
The demand is active and a large volume of 
bu.siness has been done both by tlie Government 
and mills. Recent sales at Boston have been: 
New York and Michigan fine unwashed, 60 to 
62; unwashed Delaine, 73 to 75; three-eighths 
blood, 75 to 76. Ohio and Pennsylvania, un¬ 
washed Delaine, 75 to 76; half bloo<l combing, 
76 to 77. Texas -scoured, $1.60 to $1.70. Aus- 
trali.a reports their last season’s sale to the 
Briti.sh Government as 376.16(>,159 pounds, which 
averaged 31 cents per pound for greasy. 
FRUITS. 
The early part of the week was very dull, 
owing to the Jewish New Year, which took most 
of these buyers off the market. Apples accu¬ 
mulated to a quite large extent, so that lower 
prices were necessary to move stock that could 
not be held. The range of varieties is increas¬ 
ing, such high quality kinds as McIntosh, Jon¬ 
athan, Kbig and Fall Pippin being offered. 
Peaches are meeting a good demand, thougli 
prices continue low. Grapes plentiful and sell¬ 
ing slowly. Plums in strong demand and high¬ 
er. 'I'lie cranberry crop is reported to have 
been much hurt by recent heavy frosts.

Balanced Ration for Poultry 
What is the correct method to figure 
a balanced ration for poultry, using a. 
certain standard for a basis? I have a 
table showing the chemical analysis, but 
do not know the correct way to figure 
out a ration. I wish to use as a standard 
the ration used at Ston-s, and would like 
to know what it figures. I know what 
this ration consists of, but wish to sub¬ 
stitute at different times on account of 
change in prices of different grains, etc. 
Michigan F. M. 
The figuring of balanced rations in¬ 
volves the use of a formula and tables 
obtainable from several sources, most 
conveniently, perhaps, from one of the 
several State Agricultural Experiment 
Stations publishing them. “Computing 
Rations for Farm Animals” is the title 
of a bulletin issued by the Agricultural 
Experiment Station at Ithaca, N. Y., that 
will doubtless be sent you upon request. 
Most poultry rations are somewhat “nar¬ 
rower” than those advised for dairy 
cows; the latter being about one part 
protein to six of carbohydrates and the 
former one to four to five. It is not es¬ 
sential to balance poultry rations with 
exactness, however, and, indeed, hardly 
possible. In practice, a balanced ration 
is one that provides a sufficient amount 
of high protein food and does not com¬ 
pel the fowhs to live upon such fat form¬ 
ing foods as com, buckwheat, oats, etc. 
Meat scrap and skim-milk furnish protein 
to balance the ordinary grains wfith and 
some of the high protein, mill products, 
like gluten feed, oil meal. Alfalfa meal, 
cotton .seed meal, brewers’ grains, etc., 
are used in the ground mashes for the 
same purpose. M. B. D.
