KATWAMB * CLAKK S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 27. Liverpool shows
a certain degree of besrinena Due about 7
points higher, tbe market opered only 3 points
up; spots. 2 points higher; sales. 7.000 bale*.
Our market, however, opened firm. New York
even gaining a tew pointe. Tbia difference tn
action of tbe markets on thia side and in Liv
erpool is explained by traders getting out of
unpromising straddles. .
During the past montns of boom In Man
chester many were induced to operate on a
wHenin, of market parities. However, it now
looks as U Liverpool were rather heavy under
a temporary full supply, while tbe future mar
kets on our side show a tendency to stiffen,
reflecting a possible overexportation and tbe
ptack of short supplies for tbe remainder of
the FCtion.
Tbe map show* cloudy weather over tbe
entire belt, snowing in the Panhandle, light
scattered rains in esst Texs* and Tennessee.
Indication* st* for a sever* eold wave syntb
eastward and freeving in northern belt; proba
bly some rain in Texaa tonight and tbe lower
half of tbe belt, followed by much col
Ttie showed B firm Qnuprton*
throughout the morning. The general opinion
ia that if not again disturbed by unfavorable
outside developments It will wort higher on
statistical strength and the covering of large
straddle abort interests on this side.

How One Man
Made Money
HE party referred to a few
days ago In the Journal as
having sold >110.50 wortn
of butter and eggs during
last year is an old gentle
man living about three miles
from Smyrna. He has one
cow and has kept about 30
hens on an average during
Im
1910. He produced by his own efforts most, if not all, of the feed
that the hens and cow consumed, besides enough feed for one horse
and three extra large hogs, which he killed during this winter. This
gentleman has sold an average of a' little more than |9 worth of eggs
and butter per month during the entire year, and also had plenty for
himself and wife; also chickens and eggs In abundance for his own
table. With this small income in cash each week, it enabled him to
keep out of debt. His cotton and corn crop and other products pro
duced on his farm were practically a. net profit to him, as the cash de
rived from the eggs and butter furnished sufficient money for his week
ly needs, and more besides. This gentleman has been doing practically
this well for the past three years. His butter was sold at 20 to 25
cents per pound, and eggs at 20 to 25 cents per dozen during the en
tire year. He found a ready market for them to one customer because
they were delivered regularly once a week, clean and in nice condition,
and it could be depended on that it was fresh and good, sound, whole
some food. There a.re thousands of farmers In Georgia and many
families in cities that could easily do what this man has done, and 1
hope this year many will try and keep an account, and they will be
surprised to see wh&t It will amount
to is twelve months. Will tel’, of (y? Or
several other similar Instances later
on. j
Very trply yours,
The heaviest egg records that have ever been known have always
been made by hens kept in confinement and fed the proper foods to
produce these eggs. About 85 per cent of the egg is composed of water,’
and it will readly be seen that this plays a very Important part in the
keeping of fowls.
They should be made to take plenty of exercise gradually, which
will make them more thirsty, or fed bulky foods that will make them
drink lots of water, or else given -food that contans a large per cent ot
water. But on the other hand, they must have food that is rich
enough in the other elements to keep up heat and strength to maintain
the body and keep them in perfect condition,
At most of the large egg plants where the heavy yields are obtained,
the birds are kept as quiet as possible—no strangers allowed among
them —most of the feeding and cleaning up is done at night, and they
are not disturbed in the least.
It is these little Important details that will bring the extra per
cent of profit to one who keeps hens. It does not amount to much in
small flock, but where hens are kept by the thousand, the difference
of a dozen eggs per year per hen means many hundreds of dollars to
their owners in additional profits, and If the largest per cent of profit
is to be expected from your efforts, all of these little details should
be carefully studied to obtan the best results from your work.
Mr. Loring Brown:
I see by The Atlanta Journal you
are going to talk to us about raising
poultry. I would appreciate *it if
you would tell me what to do for one
of my hens. She nits on the ground,
puts her head back on her body, and
runs backward In that position; also
shakes her head. She seems in good
condition; comb and gills Has
been that way two weeks. I had a
few small chickens in that fix last
year, which died.
Also, can you tell me anyone that
would like to buy my homer pigeons?
I also have a fine deer for aale.
Thanking, you for any information
you may give me, I am,
Sincerely yours.
MRS. E. C. HIGHTOWER.
16 Jackson street, Dublin, Ga-
February 20, 1911.
ANSWER:
The heri referred to has a nervous
trouble and would be unfit to breed
from. She may possibly recover from
It but it is doubtful. It would be best
to kill her because it is liable to
be hereditary in her offspring. It is
probably caused from inbreeding or
some disorder of the system.
Mr. Loring Brown:
On February 11 I hatched off 44
Young birds shoulds have the very beat of care, especially from
the second to the fifth month of their life and should have plenty of
bulky food as this feed will have a tendency (their systems being prac
tically filled with it at all times), to give them good sprung ribs and
a strong constitution, which will enable them to consume a sufficient
supply of food when they are grown to yield am abundance of eggs
continually. No hen or cow can be a great producer of either eggs or
milk unless she has a capacity to store food sufficient to produce these,
and digestive organs of the very best to turn thts food into the finished
products.
The pullet’s future usefulness —also the heifer’s future usefulness
depends largely on the way they have been raised while young.
Therefore, if you expect great results from your work, you must stai t
the plans for it far ahead.
The little extras given these small 1 details will be worth many
dollars to you in the long run. If you are breeding fancy show
birds you can, as the youngsters develop, select the ones that come
nearest to the standard requirements, divide them into smaller flocks,
and give them extra care, for unless you do this you camnot hope to
win many blue ribbons under the strong competition we have now
adays.
It is usually the bird that is in the best condition and has been
the best prepared that does the winning.
I do not think bread crumbs are
a good feed for young chickens.
Some -of the crumbs are most likely
to be left over and probably mould
ed or sour, which is sure to cause
trouble from indigestion afterwards.
It would be all right to feed some
moistened bread crumbs after two
weeks old. I use, for the first five
days, nothing but prepared chick feed
or pinhead oatmeal ajid grits, fed
dry in a little trough and all removed
after they seem to have enough.
At the end of two hours repeat the
feed all during the day. After they
are five days old, I usually feed a
stiff mash, composed of Spratt’s
No. 3 chick meal, at 9 o’clock in th«
morning and 3 o’clock in the after
noon—leaving off the grain feed for
these two meals, as they get tired
of eating the grain diet exclusively
after they have been fed on one
feed for some days. I also give green
food in some form after they are
five days old. If the brooder is kept
warm, and fed in this way
your little chicks should be thrifty
and a larger per cent of them should
live. It is, harder to raise chickens
hatched from pullets than those
from old hens, and it is possible that
this to some extent is the cause of
the death rate, but it Is too great,
even then.
Hoping this information will be of
benefit to you, I am.
Very truly yours,
LORING BROWN.

they have diea one or two every day

hatched will not live?
Thanking you for any information,
and congratulating The Journal on
getting you to help us, I am,
Very respectfully,
ORION ALLEN.
College Park, Ga., February 21, 1911.
ANSWER:
The trouble you refer to with your
• little chicks is caused from their not
having heat enough to digest their
food up until they were 14 days old.
As a rule, young -chicks should ba
kept warm, at a temperature of about
100 in a heated brooder until at least
ten days old. After that time, they
can be transferred to a fireless brood
er—that is, this is the safest way to
start them off.
very highly. I was greatly surprised
on going into my yard this morn
ing that several of my best, birds
had what I consider a genuine case
of cholera. Some of them walk
ground and will not ent or drink. In
some instances their actions are very
hard and in others very soft and
dark green. I feed them regularly
on corn and oats and a good mash for
the morning feed. I keep the yard
and houses clean and supply them
with fresh water daily. Since finding
their condition thia morning, I put a
quantity of salts in their water. Other
than this, I am at a loss to know
what to do for them. If you can
give me any advice regarding same
I assure you it will be highly ap
preciated.
Again thanking you in advance for
same, I am,
Reepectfully yours,
D. L. THOMPSON.

. ANSWER. |
I doubt seriously your chickens hav
ing cholera. I have never seen a
case of cholera in the south. They
are troubled with indigestion. Their
liver is <ut of fix—probably caused
from drinking dirty water that had
settled in the yards, or from eating
too much corn. Stop feeding corn,
and scald the oats or soak them be
fore feeding. Feed a mash composed
of the mixture described in my ar
ticle on Feeding in Thursday’s pa
per, only add more charcoal and give
some liver medicine such as Black
Draught in this feed. Give the mash
feed in the afternoon instead Os morn
ing. The treatment of salts was all
right, and was a good thing to do.
Hoping this will be of some benefit
to you, I am,
Very truly y urs.

BY TEXAS HOUSE
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 25.-Receding from
its former refusal to indorse him, the
house of (representatives today adopted a
resolution in which Governor Harmon, of
Ohio, is referred to as the Democratic
leader in the next presidential campaign.
The resolution already adopted by the
senate invites Harmon to address the
Texas legislature. A few days ago the
house refused to concur because of the
reference t** Harmon’s leadership.

NEGRO FROM ROBING HER
Miss Laura Wiley, a young lady of 17 T
North Jackson street, was attacked late
Friday afternoon at the corner of Hous
ton an<j Courtland streets by a negro
who attempted to wrench her purse from
her grasp. However, she would not
turn loose and the negro fled at the ap
proach of men who were attracted by
the young lady’s screams.
DR. JOE BROUGHTOrF
DID NOT SEE DANCERS
It was incorrectly stated Friday that
Dr. Joe Broughton attended a perform
ance of the Russian dancers. Dr.
Broughton states that he did not attend
the performance, and that, even should
he desire to do so, his connections with
the Sunday school would not permit
such a thing. The error was entirely
inadvertent and The Journal gladly
makes the correction.
