MEW ORLEANS COTTON
(By Aaaociated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS. April 29—Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of 6 to 8 points.
Cables were not quite up to expectation*, but
the weather map noted a great deal of rain In
the cotton belt and both aides bought on it.
The long distance forecast predicted frequent
showers this week and added to the nervous
ness of weak aborts. The market had little life
• in the early trading and bears said it was
tiled and overbought. The weather was too
unfavorable, however, to allow bearish opinions.
Prices were 16 point* over Saturday's clone.
On the advice profit taking* by longs be
came extremely heavy. Gossip of the market
around the middle of the morning said that
buyer* of the early morning had turned sellers.
It was supposed that two large lines of long
cotton were liquidated during the morning.
The demand was not »uffielest to absorb of
ferings and finally the market broke sharply
under the pressure, the more active month*
going 12 to 14 points mder Saturday's dose,
at which level they were 22 to 24 points down
from the highest of the morning. At noon
the market vood at a net loss of 6 to 9 points.

HAYWARD ft CLARK'S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. La.. April 29.—The weather
over Sunday was favorable in Texas with the
exception of part* of north Texaa, which were
affected bv the Oklahoma storm, and was also
favorable in the Atlantic*, which had no rain
of consequence. It was unfavorable, however,
in Oklahoma, where a heavy rain and windstorm
occurred, and in the central states, which had
a generally heavy rainfall, except Alabama,
which was oulr partly affected. Indications are
clearing weather except more rain today in the
northeastern quarter of the cotton belt, fol
lowed by clearing weather there tomorrow.
Liverpool rallied ou bad weather information,
but was overcome by liquidation toward the
close. Spot price* were 3 points higher. A
cable said: "Small market; aome liquidation;
continent buying old crops.’’ Our market was
carried to 11.70 for October by early buying,
based on the heavv rains in the central states,
but broke rapidly to 11.58 on liquidation, halted
there a few minutes and then broke to 11.43.
The market t« nervous and unsettled, and
unless strong support appears in New York
liquidation is likely to continue. There is no
spot demand of consequence from any quarter,
bur so far holders are indifferent to the de
cline.

I want to talk to you—straight
from the shoulder about whiskey.
There are so many claims made these
days that the man who wants real,
good, pure, straight whiskey is con
fused. The only way to get it —to
get good, pure, straight whiskey, is
ito find the man you have faith in—a
man you believe in—then buy from
him. What I say here doesn't prove
that I sell honest goods—the proof
'comes when you buy from me and find
that my goods and myself are honest.

to make a good capon, the same as it does high-class beef, and unless you
expect to feed with a liberal hand and force these birds and sell them at
the proper time, you will not make the profit that one would have to
make for the time and attention given them unless they could get from
$1.50 to $3 for each specimen.
Another thing, our markets do not demand or buy extra large speci
mens of dressed chickens for ordinary family use. Only the hotels and
restaurants can use these. A capon, to be good, should be a large specimen,
one capable of carrying an immense amount of tender meat, and should
weigh from 8 to 12 pounds at least to be considered the best. However,
there are other small varieties of fowls that make very good capons for
eating purposes, but any one making capons should naturally use t be
specimens that have a large frame, large bone and are capable of taking
on lots of meat, as they will bring so much more than a small specimen
that does not weigh much, even though it be so good in quality.
I have never known of any one in the south who made a business of
growing capons for market, therefore I can not speak from actual expe
rience as to the profit there is in it. There are a great many eastern people,
also a great many on the Pacific coast, who make a practice of largely
producing capons for market purposes, and have made it profitable. A
great many of the capons that have been used in this section have been
used mostly to hover little chickens, and for this purpose small varieties
of chickens have been used, something that is
would not be as much danger in smothering or mashing chickens
as there would be in the larger varieties.
It might be a good idea this year for those who wish to do so to make
a limited number of capons from their surplus cockerels that are not good
Lnnrh tn keen for fancy purposes. Those that have a surplus of feed can
convert this feed into a lot of good meat, and, if they are familiar wi th the
Mnditinnc in the cities and have any acquaintances among the wealthy
± Os neoDie th£y can probaMy wo?k up a nice trade for birds if they
are kept forced and in first-class condition and are marketed at the P r

Yours very truly,
questions asked and Answered.
Rome, Ga.: I would like for you to
give me a little advice about my
chickens. One of my hens seems to
be sick. She sits around and won’t
eat and her comb is very dark. She
hasn’t laid for some time.
Another one twists her neck like she
couldn’t swaUow. Something that is
in her throat. Her comb is red but
she doesn’t lay. Please let me hear
from you as soon as possible.
Thanking you in advance for your
kindness, I am,
Yours truly.
B. K. C.
ANSWER.
It is impossible to diagnose a case
of sick chickens unless I could tell
how they are fed or have been
treated.
Chickens are like people, often one
will get sicty and die, which is to be
expected.
The best thing to do when one
finds there is anything wrong with
their chickens is to yard them where
you know they will only get what you
give them to eat and clean water
that you give them to drink. Physic
them out good with some good con
dition powders or Epsom salts.
Change their feed and feet their sys
tem in good working order. When
grown chickens become sick and out
of condition, in nine cases out of ten
it is caused from either drinking fil
thy water, eating sour or unsound
feed or some other feed that causes
indigestion or upsets their system.
As a rule, it does not pay anyone
to doctor sick chickens, as they are
usually worthless after they are
cured. The best and cheapest remedy
for chickens when they become sick
is the hatchet and the fire to bum
them. Then begin treating the bal
ance of the flock Get the sick ones
out of the way and try to save those
that are well by thoroughly cleans
ing their system with a good physic
of some kind. Change their feed, do
not feed them too heflvy and make
them take exercise. When proper
care and judgment is used with a
flock of chickens it is a rare thing
that a sick one is ever found among
them. However, I realise that largely
for the want of exercise the present
winter and high feeding of corn and
other rich foods, many chicken’s sys
tems have become out of condition.
One dose of dirty, filthy water is
most likely to upset a chicken in this,
condition and I feel confident this is
the trouble with your chickens. Their
liver is inactive and they need a thor
ough cleansing of their system and a
change of food.
Mullins. S. C.-My chickens have
not laid nearly as well this year. On
examination I found lice on them.
Can you tell me how to prepare a dip
to dip them in? I thought one could
be prepared cheaper than one could
be bought. Is there anything to pre
vent sorehead? My late hatched chick
ens most always have it. Do guineas
have sorehead? What will an incu
bator, 50 egg capacity, cost? Can
you tell me where I can get one of this
stae and one that you think is all
right? Most of my hens just lay every
other day. Is there anything I can
do to make them lay every day? I
am not feeding them much, as they
have a large range and can get a lot
to eat.
I have been a reader of The Journal
a short while and enjoy it very much.
Thanking you in advance for any in
formation you can give me, I am,
very respectfully yours, M. A. F.
ANSWER.
You cannot make a dip that is as
successful as that you can buy. The
Pee Dee dip. made by the Chattanooga
Medicine company, is the best thing I
have ever tried, and will not soil the
white chickens. This is mixed one
CAPONS
AS several requests have come to
me recently to write an arti
cle on capons, I will attempt
to do so, as it will soon be time to
do this work with the young chick
ens that have been hatched this
spring.
This wprk should be done when
the chickens are small fryers, and
the cockerels to be used for this can
be selected during May and June,
while the weather is pleasant. I
believe, with a few years of work
in this line, a good trade could be
built up for strictly first-class
capons for table use but whether or
not the people of this country
would be willing to pay the price
that it would actually cost to keep
and maintain these birds long
enough to get this is the question.
There are a few good livers who
would be willing to do so, and I be
lieve a special trade could eventual
ly be worked up, but it would take
some time, and the party attempt
ing it would probably not make
very much for a year or so. It re
quires lots of good feed and forcing
part dip to 75 parts water, and will not
only kill the Insects, but will kill all
the nits. If dipped during a warm
day it will certainly do the work.
Nearly all late hatched chickens
have sorehead. This is one reason
why I never like to hatch any chick
ens during July and August, especially
if they have to inhabit the same
premises that other chickens have
been occupying. Nearly every fall we
have more or less sorehead to con
tend with. It does not hurt the early
hatched chickens very much, but the
late hatched ones are the ones that
are usually lost. When it first appears
the best thing to do is to catch every
chicken on the place, old and young,
and grease the head of each one with
a solution of one pint of raw linseed
oil to which has been added two
ounces of carbolic acid. Usually three
applications of this will kill it, but
the chickens that are not affected
should be treated the same as those
that are affected. Then they should
have in their soft feed one tablespoon
ful of salts to every 20 broilers or
frying sixe chickens, and on Friday
the same amount of sulphur should
be given. When it first appears, if
this remedy has not been given reg
ularly every week, you should give
it every other day, but if you start
with it in June and continue through
October you are not likely to have
sorehead, except in a mild form. Gui
neas have sorehead also, b-t do not
seem to be as subject to it as chick
ens.
If you will write to the advertisers
of Incubators in The Journal and get
their catalogues you can select a ma

Daily and Sunday Journal carry the
ads regularly.
If hens are fed properly and are the
right kind, most of them will lay ev
ery day for a given length of time.
It shows that they do not get the
proper balance ration when they lay
every other day. They must have some
thing to complete the egg every day,
and if not, you cannot expect them.
My experience has always been that
I get about twice as many eggs from
hens that are kept in confinement as
those that are allowed to run out, es
pecially if they are properly fed.
Lineville, Ala.: I have some Indian
Runner Ducks just hatched off. They
have lice on them. Will you please
tell me what to do for them or will
the lice hurt them? Can I grease
their heads as I do chickens with
lard? Will thank you very much if
you will send me a remedy by early
mail. Yours truly,
L. M. BISHOP.
ANSWER.
A small amount of plain lard or
vaseline on the heads and under the
throats of the little ducks once a
week will kill the lice. Do not
put any kerosine or sulphur at all
on them and do not put this grease on
their bodies.
Griffin, Ga.—Would appreciate a lit
tle information from you in regard
to marking newly hatched chicks to
readily distinguish them from others
of same breed. Would you suggest
foot marking in the web with a small
punch? If so, where can I get a
punch, and of what kind and at what
age shou the chicks be?
Thanking you in advance, I am,
yours very truly. J. E. BITTICK.
ANSWER.
The proper way to distinguish
little chickens is to toe punch them
when they are first removed from
the nest or Incubator and keep a
record of same. I can furnish you
a good punch for this purpose for
25c.

nine, twelve of a brood of sixteen
and now a brood of fourteen are all
affected with the same disease. The
disease starts as little hard warts
all about the head, around the eyes
and at the corners of their beaks.
These places grow large very fast
and in a few days the little fellows
will get in a warm sunny place and
droop their wings as though they
had indigestion. The discharge from
their bowels looks very much like
oatmeal mixed with a little water
and dried in the sun. The first
brood were not out of their coop
until the grass was dry in the
morning and the second brood were
not cooped at all, both these lots
commencing to die when they were
about the size of robins. The third
brood are much smaller and as yet
have never been out of their coop
until the grass was dry in the
mornings. I have been giving them
permanganate of potash in their
drinking have used carbolic
acid with oil and also full strength
creoline on, their heads and still
their heads grow worse. The feed
they have is dry, fine rice, corn
and oats ground together, 3-4 corn
and 1-4 oats by weight, pure water,
what green food they care for from
a large range. Thinking they have
not been getting what insects they
needed, the last brood for the past
ten days I have given a large
supply of our Cuban white ants. I
commenced to feed the ants before
the chickens showed any symptoms
of disease, but they have it as bad
as the other two broods before them.
Hoping you can help me to stop
and cure this disease, I am yours
respectfully, Walter S. Miner.
ANSWER.
I am glad to know that you suc
ceeded in ridding your place of
mites.
I feel confident the trouble with
your little chickens is sorehead.
The most successful remedy for
this is: To one pint of raw linseed
oil add two oz. of full strength
carbolic acid, or make it strong
enough with carbolic acid to color
the warts black in ten hours after
it has been applied. You will have
to repeat this possibly two or three
times. To paint their heads with.
iodine is also good, but is very se
vere. In addition to this, when
your little chickens are several
weeks old or when this trouble
first appears feed some Epsom salts
in their soft feed, say one table
spoonful to 20 to 25 three to five
weeks old chickens. This should
be given every other day when it
