I This Compares With 82.1 Last Year—Winter Wheat to Be Harvested 31,367,000 WASHINGTON. May X—The average condi tion of winter wheat on May 1 was 86.1. com pared with 83.3 ou April 1. 82.1 on May 1. 1910. and 88.0 the May teu-year average, ac cording to the May crop n-i»ort of the de partwaeut of agriculture tarnaed today. The average condition of rye was 90.0. com pared with 89.3 on April 1. 91.3 on May 1. 1910. and 89.7 the May ten-year average. The area of winter wheat to be harvested was about 31.367.000 acres, or 1.940.000 seres i 6.6 per rent> more than the area harvested in 1910. and 3.118.000 acres (.9 per cent) leas than the area down last fall. 34,485.000 acres, simplv that there is not enough cotton left on the whole list. The fact of the matter is to this country to satisfy the prospective de mand for the remainder of the season. Conti no long that it Is now a question of filling nental mills and our mills have deferred buying absolute needs. The temperature average for the belt over Sunday was 49 against 57 last year. The New York dry goods review says that business was somewhat broader with advances in certain lines, but on the whole the trade is not buying freely. New York advised in regard to the market that shorts in old crops were reestless and cov ering la July caused nervous ' advance. NAVAL STORES SAVANNAH. Ga. May X—Spirits firm 633 64c.

BOWEN * AUBTINB WEEKLY COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, May B.—There are daily evi dences coming to hand of a turning in the tide toward much better business conditions; the United States Steel Corporation reporting net earnings <*f 9tJ9*K>,<KX) last January and 810. •OdifiOfi in March. The stock market la taking note of this and as statistics show that we have not bad tn tlie past 15 years a bear stock market with rail money ruling around 2 per rent we believe that an advance in prices is impelling. Wall stre. t discounted thia business jwunewion In lieermb. r. 1909, and will soon dfvconnt i.ustajf* fevival, and disregard the non read, ring -f supreme court decisions Our March. 1910. imports exceeded our exports by 819.000.01*0.00, whereas oar March. 1911. ex ports sxceeded our Imports by 823.000.000.00, caving ns a niee credit balance. The last gov ernment crop report indicates s wbest yield lof Ml.onn.uoo bushels, tbe greatest on record, end 77.000.000 bushels more than last year's . boqßtiful yield, all of which tends to greater per capita wealth. So much has been written of tbe strong sta tlstical position of cotton that It Is well to re member some of the above facts as tending t« stiow a demand for cotton at even IXcent levels. Tbe acreage Increase this year of 5 per eent Is not at all bearish, as even generally favorable weattier would not promise better than 13.000.- O*O bales, which would find ready consumption with any resumption of business prosperity. ••Conditions vs. statistics” was interrupted co unfavorably that an abnormal abort Interest was twilit up in July and October, the most active months, and with the May position held so stongly by interests demanding the cotton that a covering movement ran those positions np nearly 100 points. Tbe late start of the new erop. with the unfavorable weather develop m-nts caused a short covering in October and other new crop positions which baa been but partly eliminated. There Is still a large pro fessional short interest, and while this reaction Is but natural after inch a steady advance, tbe weaker shorts hare given away, to more ven turesome bears who will find very little cheap cotton for sals before tbe harvesting of tbe new erop. Our heavy exports to Liverpool this season at prices varying from 12 ot 15 cents were looked upon with some suspicion and it was feared that a speculative load of actual was being carried. For the past month, however, I tv<rpooJ baa daily furnished a basis for high er prices with large spot sales at advancing prices, and were also heavy buyers of con tracts la this market, i reflecting a healthy textile <*'>nuiJon. American mills have curtailed to vreh an extent that stocks of finished goods are very low. and any resumption of business would find them anxiouc to proenro what little cotton there Is left tlrie season, and at very high prices, as there will be but a small rarry over with no cotton procurable before September Ist. owing to late start. We still espouse the l< ng side on all reactions.

A Convenient and Cheaplly Constructed Feed Hojpper I - "** rtsaigL the hens do not pick up cannot be pulled out ot tine trough, which they would do if a V-shaped trough was used. The hinged door, which Is made of laths 16 Inches long, nailed to a 5-foot strip at the top and bottom, and placed about 3 Inches apart, can be tacked to the side of the house with a small hinge or a pieoe of leather. This lattice work l**tj 1 ¥4 WV,VH“'Ia' "13 ’/i “ • -,-t n ! .«-A .7 v 'rZ J s. a <aAAA'\\\\v\ AL \aiV \ Av i will prevent the chickens ever getting in the trough and scratching the feed out- On the other hand, they can easily reach their heads through the lattice work and get their feed. Cut ‘No. 1 shows the lat tice work down, and No- 2 shows this raised, which makes it easy to pour the feed in and is always in Its place and will fit when let down. This is the hopper used in all our pens, and I have found that It saves a lot of feed by using a hopper ot / ; e this kind, and is different from any- ~ r - - thing 1 have ever seen on the w •*<-»• f «. tra* az market J Very truly yours, (r R. C. Shuford, 40 Howell Mill road. Atlanta, Ga. I want to ask you a question, which answer through The Journal, as it may be of benefit to others. I have a few chicks hatched off and they get along all right until they are four or five weeks old. Then I notice in the morning when I go to attend to them that one or two are droopy and have full crops—food does not seem to digest. They live for about 24 hours and die. They are brooder chicks, in cubator and hen hatched, and I use Purina chick feed and plenty of green stuff grit coarse and charcoal. Have been struck *by white diar rhoea and lost several, but after using Conkey’s white diarrhoea remedy have not lost any more. ANSWER. Your chicks have indigestion, and as, at the time you name, they are getting a new coat of feathers, it is very easy to upset their digestive or gans. It would be best for you to re duce some of the grain feed and feed them, at least once per day, a mash feed. Also, see that they get plenty of water before they go to roost at night. Do not allow them to be - crowded at night Use some liver med icine or tonic in their feed. A. C. E.. Atlanta, Ga. I bought White Wyandotte eggs—. paid price for full blood—and the cock erels have brassy tinge on saddle feathers. Does this denote a cross? Can it be bred out? Kindly give me standard on this breed. Would this tinge debar them should I exhibit them at poultry shows? ANSWER. Wlitte fowls of all kinds have a ten dency to brassiness, but there are so many good ones now that are free from this defect that it is throwing away time to try to breed from the' ones that show it too much. However, it can be bred out. All white fowls should be pure white, and the Stand ard requires a cut of 1-2 to 2 1-2 in each section where brassiness is found in all white fowls. It would pay you in the end, if you expect to breed fancy show birds, to get some eggs or fowls from a strain that was prac tically free from this defect. R. C. Cunningham, Orlando, Fla. I hotice an article by you in The Journal about fattening hens and fryers. I would be glad to get some inside information as to feed and way of feeding for this purpose. Any in formation would be greatly appreciat ed. We handle a good many head of poultry and sometimes we get in a poor lot that have to be fed up. ANSWER. If you will write the New York ex- VARDAMAN TO ANSWER LEGISLATIVE SUMMONS BROOKHAVEN, Miss., May 6.—Former Gov. James K. Vardaman, candidate for the Democratic senatorial nomination, was served with a subpena Friday, sum moning him to appear before an expert accountant at Jackson Monday and tes tify in connection with a legislative in vestigation as to the handling of cer tain state funds distributed during his term of office as governor. Vardaman announced that he would be in Jackson in answer to the summons. FREIGHT HITS MOTOR; ONE KILLED, TWO HURT BLUEFIELD, W. Va., May 6.—W’hen a motor wefrk car was run into by an extra freight at Wetmore on the Nor folk and Western railroad yesterday, J. M. Walker, roadmaster, was killed and W. R. Dawson, assistant superintendent, and J. R. Anderson, master carpenter of the railroad, were fatally injured Dawson is one of the best known rall , road men in the south. The accompanying cut shows the most con venient and cheapest feed hopper 1 have ever yet found. This is made very simply and can be done in a few min utes. The hopper is 5 feet long, 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep, nailed to the side ot the house, with the ends and the partition, as shown in cut No. 2, cut with a bevel 6 inches wide—the lower end of the bevel 6 inches high and running to 12 or 18 Inches at the top. These partitions are placed in the ip.ain trough about 8 Inches apart at one end, mak ing four departments In the trough—one for oyster shell, one for charcoal, and one for grit, and the other three feet of the trough being used for dry mash, which is kept before our fowls at all times. A trough built in this way will not allow any food to be wasted, as the food that periment station, Ithaca, N. Y., they will send y|ou a bulletin on feeding fowls by the cramming method, which will also show cuts of the machine used for this purpose and will tell you the kind of feed tq use. This will give you more information than I could possibly write you in a letter. t QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. B. A. R., Atlanta, Ga. • am having trouble with my chick ens. They have something like a corn on their foot and it swells up and causes them to stand around on one foot. Please give cause and remedy. ANSWER. The corn on the bottom of the foot of your chickens is caused from a bruise, usually from flying down off a high roosting place. -• It is best to make them roost on the ground .or straw to keep them rebruising the place. Usually It Is impossible to cure them, and it gradually becomes worse, especially if you go to doc toring or fooling with them. The best remedy is to change their roost ing place and give them either sand or straw insteadr of the rough yard to take exercis® in. W. C. Logan, Headen, Ga. In your letter in The Semi-Weekly Journal of the 21st instant, you say i in reply to Mrs. 'Walker: “We do : not breed Brown Leghorns any more.” lit appears you once bred them but do not now. Please state in The Semi-Weekly Journal your reasons for not breeding them. I have bred many different kinds of chickens but / none that excelled the Brown Leg horns for egg production. ANSWER. Our reason for not selling Brown Leghorns is not because they are not good fowls and are not profitable. They are very profitable and one of the most popular varieties bred to day. We simply had a good offer for our entire 1 lot of prise winners, and as we wlshad to reduce the varie ties kept by us we let the party (Mr. Caldwell Porter, of Rome, Ga.), have them. They are splendid fowls and certainly do lay eggs, and are well adapted to our southern climate. ANSWER. You have been very fortunate in not losing any more chickens than you have. You must expect to lose some, and the hen referred to evidently died with a broken blood vessel, or appo plexy. The treatment you are giving them Is all right and certainly will produce eggs. The Barred Hocks re ferred to, as long as they lay well, you may rest assured are not in very bad health. I do not think it is worth while to try to doctor them. Possibly a change in their feed might help them, but as long as they lay, you needn’t feel uneasy, for no chicken can lay unless in good health. Mrs. Z. D. Andrews, Lovejoy, Ga. I am having some trouble with my young chickens. Their eyes close, but dont’ seem to be sore—no corruption of any kind seems to form in the eyes. The eyes close as if they were asleep. If you can give me any In formation as to the cause and what will cure them, I will appreciate It. I have the Crystal White Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds. What is better for chickens, butter milk or sweet milk? ANSWER. Examine your little chickens for lice, and also for mites In the box they roost at night. The indications are that these pests are sapping their life out, which will make them weak ' and lifeless and they will sleep their lives away. Their eyes will close up and they do not seem to have much life in them when affected hy Insects. I am confident that this is the trouble j with your chicks, or they have not vltaity enough to make them thrive. | Sweet mik is better than buttermilk for chickens, but it should always be fed in a stiff mash with bran and cqrn meal.
