Jnly 10.—The Commer cial Appeal's weekly cotton report says: Telegraphic report* up to 6 o'e|o<k Sun day night attow that moderate showers to heavy rains fell tn central and middle west ern Texas countie* Friday and Saturday. In places the rainfall was heavy enough tn completely relieve the drouth. In others It was light. Crop account* are excellent In eastern and. southeastern Texa» and everywhere else throughout the cotton belt save In Okla homa. where light showers have given only 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 ed during the week by showers and season able lemperatnres. Nowhere has the been excessive enough to give ground for se rious complaint. South Carolina ia deficient In rainfall, recent rains having been poorly distributed and some of tie planters are alarmed because the plant Is no| making the rapid growth usual at this season but up to ’be present no hans ha* come from the drouth. The crop tn southern Georgia and southern Alabsma and Louisiana Is large and esriy and a heavy August movement Is ladleated. Cultivation continues almost perfect and n amua th*»r hard* not vet become very • rilVHf, nicy imm savn F w * vaKviatw although b<M' weevils are becominr mon etrnctlve. Sufficient rains for all preaent needa ■ bare fallen In central and Atlantia states m»e the two Carolines. 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. ...' ?ty 'w . yix.Lv'*. •*. -A.tt. . v- THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1911- f' ' 1 I \ 1 ! ...... '.’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. Mrs. W.

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. SUGAR. COFFEE AND PETROLEUM NEW YORK.
