NEW ORLEANS. Joly 10.—Cotton future*
opened steady at a decline of 7 to IO poin’a.
Chtoe* wtn ••mewbat towc- than due and
waarher report* were bearish. a* they were
tn tbe effect that tbe drouth in Texas and
Oktahon-.* bad been effectually broken. Sail
ing was high "*> tbe first call and immediate
ly after; scalping aborts were profit-takers
<m a large scale, but the demand from thia
source was not snffieieet to effect the mar
ket until October threatened to break through
12 70. At tbe end of the fleet half hour of
basineoa tbe list was 3 tn 13 pointa under
Saturday » el nee.
The forecast of showery weather for tbe
entire cotton belt canned a still farther de
nrreston around the middle of the morning
The market, however, took offerings better
then it did to tbe early trading and tbe de
cine was widened only a few points the list
at its lowest going 12 to 1* points under Sat
urday's lest price Tbe old crop months ex
hibited the g-estesl weakness which was due
to the receipt at Houston of 33 bales of
new crop cotton. This settled to bear out
tbe Halm of tbe bear* that tbe movement nt
the wv crap In July will be heavy. Tow
ard noca something of a reaction was seen
on tbe are crops; tbe old erope did not show
any recuperative power. At noon tbe old

COMMERCIAL APPEALS CROP REPORT

Telegraphic report* up to 6 o'e|o<k Sun

heavy rains fell tn central and middle west

places the rainfall was heavy enough tn

eastern and. southeastern Texa» and everywhere
else throughout the cotton belt save In Okla

partial relief. Preceding the rains in Texas,
further de’ertorutlon In the cotton crop had
taken place, but a prompt revival is now
to be ex|>ected where tbe precipitation has
been *ufficfent.
In all central and eastern states the crop
is growing very rapidly, having been stimulat

In rainfall, recent rains having been poorly

alarmed because the plant Is no| making the

to ’be present no hans ha* come from the

MOMTGOMERY ADVERTISER'S CROP RE
PORT.
MONTGOMERY. Ala.. July 10.—Reports to
The Advertiser from practically every county
in Alabama indicate that pmepects for a great
'cotton crop this season were never so flatter
ing. With one more good general rain the
crop for the most part will be considered made,
and unless a serious blight should come—a
thing altogether unespected—motV eotton will
,be made thia fall than ever before in the hia
itory of the state.
! There la a uniformity In the reports with
’regard to the cultivation, freedom from insects
land other peeta. fine weather seaaons. and
IcieanneM of the fields from grass and weeds.
The farmers are showing no disposition to lay
•by the crop, bupt are giving it continuous
'shallow cultivation, in line with United States
(government Instructions, to keep the moisture
to the surface. It Is doubtful if ever a crop
was so closely and scientifically cultivated as
thia one has been.
1 As a rule, rain is not badly needed. There
are spots. like portions of Russel county, and
of the counties on the western border, that
have had no rain for weeks, but this is the
j exception.
The plant is healthy and strong and Is fruit
)ing rapidly. Everywhere there seems to be
a superabundance of bolls, and in few places
[there has been any shedding.
i Corn also bids fslr to break the best pre
vious record. The early crop was injured seri
ously by the drouth, but the later plantings
here had good seasons of rain, and have been
cultivated Incessantly. This crop Is being rap
idly laid by, and by. the time of another crop
report there will be little of it that needs
further cultivation.

'.’s
especially with little age, having so /much Gam% blood in thenu the
instinct has been hereditary. Their combs, In appearance, npw look
like a Game chicken, and most of the pullets that are bred from the
cockerel mated line have "black in their breasts and a great many ot
them with a dark stripe down the middle of their legs. On the other
hand, the male birds of ,the female line show absolutely no stripe In
the neck—light orange in color, and many of them have roach backs
and pinched tails In both males and females, and have lost the beauti
ful concave sweep and broad back with a nicely spread tall that we
used to see in Brown Leghorns twenty years ago, when single
matings produced hundreds of 93 to 96-point, both male and females.
These birds, in those days were beautiful to behold and were the most
popular birds at our shows and were always shown in the largest
numbers. A Brown Leghorn hen that ever offered to set in those
days had her head chopped off, no matter how fine she was, as she
was not considered a pure Leghorn- Things have changed, and prac
tically speaking, a few men are responsible for Qlmost ruining one of
the best breeds of chickens the world has ever seen. I am glad to
say that occasionally can be found some of the old original Brown
Leghorn blood that is pure and unadulterated, and rapid strides have
been made in the past three years to get this breed back to where it
once was and I predict that in a few years we will have our Brown
Leghorns back to where they were 26 years ago. Personally, my
preference has always been for Brown Leghorns, and they were one
of the first varieties I started with 38 years ago, when they were bred
in their purity. I like them for many reasons: First, because in a
city they do not become soiled like a white chicken does. In the
country, the hawks cannot see them like a white chicken. These
two points alone were strong points in their favor, and before the
southern states were so thickly settled, hawks were one of the great
est drawbacks in the country, and farmers, as a rule, would not allow
a white chicken on the place. I remember well, 25 or 30 years ago
that on nearly every farm tn Georgia Brown Leghorn blood predomi
nated and {here were thousands of them In this country and they
fornfted a strong foothold In the hearts of every one who bred them.
The change in the standard, which brought about the ruination
of this splendid breed, practically made two men rich, with great in
jury to thousands- I do not believe at that time they ever stopped
to think for a moment what they were doing, but nevertheless, it
wrought havoc with this popular variety and it will be many years
before it will ever recover. Still thpy will always be popular and
there are thousands of Brown Leghorn breeders over the world today
who were fortunate enough not to get too far and still have splendid
foundations, and they will always breed them, and Brown Lesrhorns
will always be popular because very few people know of these things
I have just mentioned, but are aware of the great popularity and
great money-makers this breed has been; therefore, they are none
the wiser, which it is well that they should not be, as it would bring
about a certain amount of prejudice which would be uncalled for now,
as I predict in a few years we will have Brown Leghorns better
than 30 years ago, as fast strides have been made in correcting this
error in the past few years.
The Brown Leghorns of 25 years ago, with magnificent large,
flowing combs, little heavy-set, compact, broad, wedge-shaped bodies,
red, flashy eyes, and quick alertness about their entire make up,
would attract the admiration of anyone who had any heart in him
for birds of any kind, and they would win over even a man that was
prejudiced against chickens a place In his lheart for them that he
oould not possibly get away from, and together with the great abun
dance of beautiful white eggs they would lay the year round, would
stimulate any one more than anything that I have ever seen In the
poultry business. I long to see that time come again when every
farmer and most of the people in the cities will pay the same atten
tion to their chickens that they did 25 to 30 years ago.
With the new improved methods we have now and the Increased
demand we have for poultry products, there are great things ahead,
I believe, for the most wonderful of all products—the little American
hen. She is fast coming into her own and is being more appreciated
now than ever before. It may be possible that the reason eggs were
sold for 7,8, and 10 cents per doaen twenty to twenty-five years ago,
was caused largely from the great production of the hens that were
kept in those days. However, it might have been brought about from
other conditions. I eannot say about this, but I do know that now
adays w« certainly ought to make money on eggs at the prices we
are now getting for them, if we could only produce them as cheap as
it was done 25 years ago and in as great quantities. The time may
come when we will see this again, but the records of the past ten
years indicate that we will never
see cheap eggs or cheap .poultry (Z/ 7
again, as they have doubled in the «■
past ten years, and will doubtless
double again |n the next 'lO to come.
QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Mrs. J. E. Patterson, Greer, S. C.
Will one mating answer for a litter
of turkey eggs? Will eggs hatch laid
two days after mating? Your opinion
on this subject will be greatly appre
ciated.
ANSWER.
Ordinarily one mating of a good vig
orous tom will fertilize the eggs for
an entire season. It lq considered by
best authorities that this is a fact.
I cannot *ay positively about this be
ing a fact myself, but I do know that
one season I lost a turkey tom that
was mated to one hen and she laJd
a great many eggs during the year
and nearly every one of them was fer
tile. She was with no other tom
during the time. However, on the
other hand. I have had some state
that they did not get the best results
in this way. I think, however, that
they were misaken and probably a
weak male bird was used. I do not
think eggs laid two dayy after a
mating would be fertile, as at this
stage, usually, the egg has already
been encased in the innner lining
ready for the shell. There would be
no possible way for it to be fertilised
after the shell had started to form
on it. I would like for you to try the
eggs that you have and give, me in
formation of this matter, as it will
be worth knowing.
L. A. 8., Palmetto, Ga.
I have some turkeys three weeks
old. Have fed them on stale biscuit
crumbs sprinkled with black pepper,
and opion tops cut very fine, mixed
with it. .»ave kept everything very
clean—drinking vessels and all. But
have lost some. They first appear to
choke while eating, and by closer ex
amination. I find that their nostrils
are closed. They eat very little and
finally get to where they open their
mouth every breath. There is a yel
lowish growth in the upper part of
beak, and just above the beak bulges
out every breath- The “bulging out”
is the first symptom. They get very
poor. It takes a close observer to see
that there is anything the matter
with them when first taken.
I 'don’t think they have lice or
mites on them. Would be glad if you
would give a remedy in next Tues
day's Semi-Weekly Journal.
ANSWER.
From the description given, I think
your little turkeys have caught cold
and have what is known as dry roup.
It is evident from the indication in
their mouths that they also have a
touch of canker n the mouth. Would
advise you to take camphor, sweet
oil and turpentine, one ounce each,
and add ten drops of carbolic acid.
Wipe their mouths with this; also
put a few drops in each nostril, and
LEGHORNS
PART 11-
TWENTY to twenty-five years
ago the Brown Leghorns
were more popular than the
Whites, but on account of the
anxious desire of many of the
breeders of Brown Leghorns to
produce male birds with beautiful
black stripes in their neck and
back, and females with delicate
brown coloring in their backs.
Game blood was introduced into
many flocks of pure Brown Leg
horns —the Black-breasted Red
Game blood being used to pro
duce the females, and the War
Horse Pit Game blood being used
to produce the black stripe in the
males. This introduction of
blood has almost ruined the
Brown Leghorn breed, and it
was distributed the world over
and became mingled with most
of the flocks in the United States,
and the result has been that
thousands of Brown Leghorns
are now almost inveterate setters,
press the nostril so it will open up
the head. . Two or three applications
of thl* treatment, once per day, if
there is any chance for it to do them
any good, will make a change. If
not, it will be useless to do anything
for them.
j I would not advise giving pepper
to little turkeys or chickens either
It will surely upset their system. No
grown fowl could stand much of this
and neither can the young ones. It
does no good at all and injures their
system.
If you will make curd out of milk
and thicken it wiu» corn meal and
feed on this, you will find that It
will be much better than the feed
you are now using. It would be a
good Idea to give them a good range
during the day, where they can get
plenty bugs and grasshoppers. They
will thrive much better than they
wilt on the present feed you are
giving. I
L. C. Taylor A Brothers, Newnan,
Ga.
I am a subscriber to The Journal
and am asking you my first ques
tion. I have a White Leghorn cock
erel that seems affected some way in
his throat. The first time we no
ticed it, three days ago, he would
yawn and stretch his neck as if
wanting breath. * We caught him and
examined his throat, which was cov
ered witli grain. This looked as if he
could not swallow his feed. We
caught him again this meriting and
hie throat was clear, but he still
drooped and yawned as before.
Will you tell us through The Jour
nal what is the iqatter with him?
He is the only fowl we have trou
bled in thia way.
ANSWER.
It. is hard to tell what is the trou
ble with the bird referred to, I could
not do so unless I could see him.
Would advise you to take ten drops
of turpentine to a tablespoonful of
lard and put it on a feather and mop
his throat out twice per day. It may
be possible that he has injured his
throat in some way, which caused the
trouble. Sometimes a bird’s throat
will be Injured when he is not sick
and will affect him so that he can
scarcely swallow Have known this
to be the case. The treatment recom
mended, if there is any chance to
f cure hipt, will relieve it.

letters on poultry raising, and find
them very beneficial. 1 am a new

try, but am proud of my success
so far.
I want to ask you a few ques
tions. First, I have 25 pullets,
February-hatched. When should 1
separate them from the other chick
ens, and what aged cock should I
mate with them?
I have some Buff Orpington pul
lets that have greenish and yellow
shanks and feet. I paid for thor
oughbred eggs. Wnat is the
trouble?
Last week, about 25 of my chick
ens were suffering with limberneck.
I found the maggots or what they
had left of them- 1 had nothing in
the house to give them but salts,
of which I gave freely. Next morn
ing, I began giving them Conkey's
Limberneek Remedy.. 1 lost only
five, and am eurp I would not have
lost any had I had the remedy on
hand. They are all well today.
answer.
I take pleasure in publishing
your letter. At this season of the
year, too many chickens are dying
with limberneck, gnd your timely
remedy will be of much value to
others.
It is not absolutely necessary to
separate the pullets from the
males, unless there |s an excess of
males and they are worrying the
pullets too much- In this case,
they should be separated—simply
to keep the males from injuring
the females.
The females should pe mated
with a male bird one year older
than they are, and the young
males vyith a hen a year older
tha - ’ themselves. This is the prop
er way to get strong chicks.
Buff Orpingtons ha'Mng yellow
or green colored legs should not be
used to breed from, but should be
discarded. • Their legs should be
flesh colored or white. The stand
ard says that legs of any other
color are disqualifications.
