(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. NEW ORLEANS COTTON The following were the ruling prices on the exchange today: Tone steady: middling 11 1118 c. steady.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1912. 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.
