SEW ORLEANS COTTON.
(By Associated Prest.)
NEW ORLEANS. May 23. —Cotton futures
opened steed* at a decline of 5 to 0 points on
tndtffesent cables and an almost perfect weath
er mam. No rain was reported over the belt
and temperature, were fslriy high. Telegrams
from many sections stated that planting was
praceading briskly and that cotton was coming
up fast everywhere. , Traveling crop experts
•ent In favorable mehsages This stimulated
selling to a great extent and, while tbe-e was
a good demand from aborts who wanted tbelr
profits, it was more than met and at tbn end
, st the first half bowr of business prices were
9 to 10 points under yesterday's close.
A feature of the morning that caused a great
amount of gossip was the sreakness of July.
With the new crop months showing great
steadiness at tbed er line ami a resistance to
pressure the July delivery sagged constantly.
The mostgeoerall y accepted explanation was
that local spot interests were beery sellers
of that position. The decline brought out con
siderable liquidation of July long cotton, which
added to the weakness. The forecast of fair
weather for the entire belt also helped the
short side. At noon June was 18 points down
and tbs new crop months were 10 points down.

Care off Old Chickens
/ *aHMi \
/ Kb \
I f
• begin molting through June, July or
August if you continue to force and
highly feed them egg producing materials, but if you expect to get a lot
of fertile eggs and those that will hatch strong chickens the coming winter
and spring it is a splendid idea to begin now soon to get the hens in readi
ness for the eggs that you expect to get in six months from now.
Hens that you expect to keep over should be fed on more bulky food
and not so rich. This food should be oats, wheat bran, plenty grain food,
either green alfalfa or rape, Swiss Chard, cabbage, lettuce or something
of that kind that is tender, but it is still better to give them a free grass
range and let them have their liberty so as to get a good rest during the
months of June and July. Then, if yarded and fed good during August and
September they will molt in a few weeks and their system will be ready
to receive heavy feeding and they will soon go to producing eggs for you.
There are a few breeders who realize the importance of properly taking
care of their breeding stock at this season of the year, and if you expect
to make them profitable and get the best results you must start and do
these things months ahead as it will pay ybu tenfold to do so. Last fall
gave the breeders an experience that everyone who expects to continue
the breeding of fowls should profit by the coming season. The bad hatches
during the past winter and spring were largely due to the condition of the
birds when they finished their molt far up in the winter months. Many of
them have never yet fully recovered their full strength which they should
have if they had been properly treated during June, July and August of last
year.
Valuable birds that it has taken a life time to breed and that have
built a foundation that many breeders are now living on, received this
kind of treatment yearly, and unless one makes up their mind to treat their
birds as they should be treated it is far better for them to either learn
now to do so or give up the poultry business.
Another thing that should be looked after regularly during the next
three months is to be careful about insects. Watch your chickens closely
and see that they are kept free from lice, and mites. Also watch your roost
boards and nest. No chicken will thrive and do well, keep at all fat, or in
the proper condition to ward off the many kinds of diseases unless they are
kept free from insects of all kinds. To the breeders of south Georgia and
Florida who are bothered with the little chigger or Texas fleas, they espe
cially should keep a close watch for them as they multiply by the thousands
during the hot dry summer months, which we are likely to have now soon.
Insects on fowls cause more deaths than all diseases put together, and are
just as serious a drawback to the feathered tribe as ticks are to cattle,
and lice are to hogs, and if ticks cause a loss of over 150,000,000 annually
to the cattle breeders over the southern states, you can imagine what the
loss is annually to the poultry breeders over the south will amount to by
the torture of three pest, lice, mites
and Texas fleas instead of having to
contend with only one as cattle do. ***** * 11 a • 1
Yours very truly,
QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Indian
of fine pigs, about five months old.
Have been running at large but feed
them night and morning on corn and
corn hearts. For several days the
male seems stupid. That is, he yes
down most all the time and coughs
a little, but eats hearty and ie in
good condition. Thanking you for
anjf advice you can give me, I am,
Yours truly,
LEE JONES.
ANSWER.
The feed you are giving your hogs
is too rich for them and they will not
thrive and do well unless they have
a change, and are likely to get their
system in a condition to be an easy
prey for diseases.
A balance food for pigs is two
parts shorts, one part wheat-bran and
one part corn meal. This should be
made up with milk or with slop
from the kitchen which adds a va
riety to this food. ’ln addition to
this you should keep before them at
all times a mixture of two parts
sulphur, one part copperas, two parts
salt, two parts air slack lime and
three parts wood ashes. This should
be kept dry and where they can get
it at all times. Your hogs are evi
dently wormy and from this rich feed
their liver has become inactive. A
teaspoonful of turpentine in their milk
or slop every other day for three or
four days will remove the worms
from them, or any good condition
powders will do likewise.
Atlanta, Gw—Will you kindly
give me a little information? I as
sure you it will be highly appreci
ated. I am building an incubator
and I want the address of some
place where I can get the parts,
such as thermostat, thermometer,
lamps, etc. I know there is sonte
place where I can buy these parts
but have misplaced the address. I
have made several incubators, but
have always used the old parts from
broken up incubators and have been
very successful with them, always
getting over 80 per.cent hatch. If
you can give me the address of
some place or places where I can
get the parts needed I will consider
it a great favor. Thanking you in
advance for the information, I am.
Yours very truly,
E. L. HEITMAN.
ANSWER.
Oakes Manufacturing Co., of
Bloomington, 111., manufacture the
supplies for the different incubators
and will be glad to send you cata
logue of same.
Leia, Ga.—Will you please tell me
how to care for newly hatched
chickens that have been taken from
the mother, especially how to feed
them? I have kept most of your
articles, but cannot find the one per
taining to this subject, and as I
took oft a brood today, I am anxious
to get information. I have set the
hen on a second batch. Please tell
me how many times a hen may be
set successfully In succession and
how she should be cared for?
Your articles are all very helpful
and I am already much intedbted to
vou. . Yours truly,
MRS. W. G. TOLBERT.
ANSWER.
The chickens should be removed
to a good, comfortable coop with
plenty sand on the floor. They
should have water to drink before
being feed and let them remain in
the coop for several hours before
giving them anything to eat at all.
The first feed should be any of the
commercial chick feeds that are sold
on the market, and now by nearly
every grocery man. If you cannot
get this feed, equal parts of pearl
grits and oatmeal will take the
place of it. They should be fed
every two or three hours for the
first week or 10 days, just what
they will eat up clean. The hen
should be kept in the coop and the
little chickens can have their lib
erty after they are several days old
and strong. After they are 10 days'
old. the greater variety of food yOu
can give thejn the better they will
T'HIS SEASON of the year,
where your old birds have
been forced during the
spring months and have beeu high
ly fed for the production of eggs,
you should select your best speci
mens, those that you feel like will
be profitable to breed from another
year. All these hens and male
birds that you wish to keep over
should have better care than ever
before, their food should be
changed and they should be given
a rest out on a free range so they
can get their system in a condition
to begin molting early in July or
August and have a new coat of
feathers by the latter part of Sep
tember at the latest. Then they
will begin laying and continue to
lay during the entire winter if
properly treated. Os course, hens
that you do not expect to winter it
is all right to continue to force
them and get eggs from them all
during the summer, then sell them
for market purposes before they
grow. Crushed wheat and cracked
corn is also good for them as soon
as they are old enough to eat it,
which is 10 days' old. They should
have plenty green food and keep
their sleeping quarters clean. By
keeping them dry and out of the
rain you will have no trouble in
raising them on this feed, provided
you do not keep, a lot of feed in the
coop for them. This should not be
done, but feed often just what they
will eat up clean at all meals.
Dawson, Ga.—What is good for
hens that lay infertile eggs? I have
some pullets that are 1911 pullets
and out of about two settings of
eggs I got three or four little chick
ens. Can you tell me what to do
for them? If you can tell me
what to do, I will appreciate it
very much. Yours truly,
J, B. PETTY.
ANSWER.
There are various causes for in
fertile. It is possible that the male
bird is not vigorous and It is possi
ble that your pqjlets are not being
properly fed or getting proper ex
ercise. On the other hand it may
be the fault of the hen that was
setting on the eggs and not the
eggs. The beat way for you to tell
if the eggs are fertilie is to break
several of them ajid If they have a
fertile eggs. It Is possible the male
tell from this indication if it is the
fault of the eggs or the hen that set
on them. Make your hens take lots
of exercise by feeding their scratch
feed in litter and feed wet mash
only twice a week. Also examine
them for Insects.
Americus, G*.—Will thank you
very much if you will tell me
why my little ducks die in the shell.
Have set ab<?ut 40 eggs and have
only hatched eight ducks, unless I
have to remove them from the
shell. My ducks are the light
fawn. I have six ducks and one
drake in my duck yard. They are
fed about twice a week on a mash
and fed regularly on Aunt Patsey
feed, besides some other foods. As
a green food they have oats and
rye, also Bermuda grass at all
times. Also tell me what feed is
best to produce eggs for them, as
they are not laying as they should
for the amount of food and care I
give them. Yours very truly,
J. E. M’CREA.
ANSWER.
You should feed the Aunt Patsey
poultry feed in a mash made up
with water, once a day, and the
ducks should have a grain food of
any ordinary scratch feed once each
day. They should have plenty of
oyster shells and course grit where
they can get it at all times. Ducks
will not thrive and do well unless
they get plenty of shell. They
should be kept confined from late
in the afternoon at feeding time
until 9 or 10 o’clock the next morn
ing. lam confident your ducks are
getting too much dry mash and
not enough grain to keep their di
gestive organs in good shape. With
this change of food you should get
better results.
It would be a good idea for you to
examine them and see if they have
any lice on them. If so, dip each
duck in some good disinfectant,
such as Chlo Naphtholeum, Con
key’s or Pee Dee Dip.
Marianna, Fla. —I have eight hens
and one cockerel which were pur
chased three weeks ago and were
represented as Keilerstrass strain
White Orpingtons.' They have aver
aged six eggs daily, but I notice
that some of the eggs are large, a
rich yellow, while others are white.
Please advise the cause and if
there will be any difference in the
young chicks hatched from them.
Also if the White Orpingtons can
be depended on as setters and moth
ers. Yours very truly,
E. W .REID.
ANSWER
White Orpingtons can be depend-
cd upon as good setters and moth
ers and are a splendid fowl. The
difference in the color of the eggs
lias nothing to do with their purity.
The light eggs will hatch just as
good chickens as the dark ones.
Temple, Ga.—Last year I had some
trouble with a small black flea. They
would get on the heads of my little
chickens, sometimes causing death. I
thought the cold weather would kill
them out, but since I have taken off
several little chickens, their heads
are covered almost with them. Now,
will you be kind enough to write me
how I can get entirely rid of them
and not hurt the little chicks? I
never have mites, a few lice some
times. What is best to use to kill
them? We keep no dogs. Have a
cow and horse. Feed shipped hay
and sometimes grain to horse. Have
only lived here three years. It is a
new place. Write me how the fleas
originated. I have had one load of
sawdust used in barn. Could that
have caused them?
Awaiting your reply, I am
MRS. HOWARD SEWELL.
ANSWER.
The little fleas mentioned by you
are known as Texas fleas, and when
they once Inhabit a place they are
hard to get rid of. They are usually
carried by rats and are kept contin
ually on the place by the rats car
rying them from one house to an
other. Salty grease of any kind will
kill them on the chickens. Some
times it takes a second application to
do this. If salt or brine is sprinkled
in the dusty places where the chick
ens inhabit, it will usually destroy
the eggs, also kill the fleas. Unless
the dusty places are treated with
salty water after you get them off
your chickens, they will soon appear
again. It may be possible that they
were brought to your place In the
sawdust. If it was dry, it would
be dusty, and a good breeding place
for fleas; but if it is treated with
the salt, it will destroy them also.
Gainesville, Ga. Will you please
give me some remedy for getting
rid of chicken fleas? How can I
best get them off of my chickens?
Will appreciate an early reply.
Yours very truly,
H. G. PETTY.
ANSWER. >
You can get the fleas off of your
chickens by using salty grease of
any kind, and applying it directly
around the head onto the fleas.
The only way you can k6ep them
off" Is to spray wtih brine or
sprinkle plenty salt in the dusty
places where the chickens inhabit.
Fleas will not produce in damp
ness, but will breed under houses,
barns and in dusty places, and will
get right back on your chickens
after you get them off unless you
keep them from going back in
these dusty places where the fleas
breed. It would also do your
chickens good to dip them in a so
lution of one part of Chlo-Naptho
leum or Bee Dee Dip to 75 parts
water. This will kill fleas and will
keep them off longer than if they
were not dipped.
Cameron, N. C. Please tell me
what is best to feed Indian Run
ner ducks or that are laying? I
have been feedi ig a mash of corn
meal and b»an ard plenty of green
stuff. Yours very truly,
W. J. HARVINGTON, JR.
ANSWER.
I have written about how to feed
Indian Runner ducks at least one
dozen times in The Journal.
The old ducks should have a
mash feed once a day of bran,
shorts and corn meal with about 20
per cent meat scraps mixed with
it, and once a day a grain food of
any of the commercial scratch
feeds that are offered on the
market. They should also have
plenty oyster shell and grit before
them at all times.
Crawfordville, Ga. I see In one
of your writings on raising little
turkeys, you say the first feed
must be boiled custard. Will you
please write me how to prepare it?
The only way I know to make it
is with eggs and sweet milk, the
same as for ice cream. I am very
anxious to raise a large flock this
year, and any information you can
give me will be gladly received.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
Respectfully,
MRS. JOE BIRD.
ANSWER.
To make boiled custard for little
turkeys, you prepare it just like
yoij would for ice cream, only you
leave out the sugar and flavoring.
Make it thick enough to, wten cool,
it will congeal.
