Jo l tbe recent advance bare been good sellers to secure profits. * Shorts have been forced to cover and have practically ceased their opera tions for tbe time being notwithstanding that crop accounts continue of tbe most optimistic zbaraeter. Technically the market la specula tively long, where a few weeks ago at 33 per bale lower it was badly oversold. Tbe spot situation has been uaesl as the chief bull argument. Good grades' seem to be hard to get and are commanding a good premium. On thia account advocates of higher prl<es are contending that as this last crop has not been a pressure on the market another large yield must be bad in order to keep prices at this level. Basing their bullish Ideas on this theory they are content to buy tbe new crop options with tbe expectation of only a moderate yield, arguing that with a latp start and a reduced acreage a crop of over 13,500,000 bales Is im probable. There Is no question that tbe vlalblo supply I will b 4 larger than last year. and. too. from 1 all Indications the reserve stocks of both raw material and finished product have been well built up tba world over. On this account it aaems well to await further crop developments before taking a bullish position, especially aa futures are within 20 points of tbe highest of tbe year and no erop failure in sight yet. We can see nothing mono than a broad scalp ing market for tbe Immediate future and be lltye that sales on bsrd spots will soon pay moderate profits. HAYWARD A CLARK'S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANK. La., June 17.—Heather conditions over Sunday were perfect. While official forecaata were for uneettled. showery weather in tbe central and eastern atatea, there was, in fact, very little precipitation there. On the other hand, thia morning’s map shows splendid rains In northwest Texas, Okla homa and west Arkansas, where It was needed. Nloe high night temperaturea throughout tbe belt, somewhat lower day maximums in tba nortbweatern quarter. Indications are for fair In the southeastern quarter of tbe belt; partly etond. with probably a few Isolated thunder showers in the central states and the Caro linas. cloudy in Oklahoma and Tessa, with probably more general rains tn Texas. Liverpool came strong, with futures about 4 points better than due; spots, 4 points lower; sales were large, being 13,000 bales. 'IT* strength there and the good opening Ln New York were. It appnere, due to a bullish condi tion forecast by Mies Giles, making the condi tion on June 10, 80-2, against 80.8 on May 25. IJverpbol broke 6 pointe In the last hour, when the favorable weather developments over Sunday became known abroad. Tbe first trades here were at a few points advance on tbe strength of Liverpool and tbe Giles condition report, which was a great surprise. Informa tion here confirms a considerable Improvement In rrop. but such condition forecasts as above referred to show* that the north U puseessad of different Ida** and the scarcity of sellers explains itself by fear of further bull opera tion, probably In order to build up a market on which to reduce long lines beore the coming bureau report.

COMMERCIAL APPEAL S REPORT (By Associated Press l MEMPHIS. Tenn.. Juno 17.—Tbe Commercial Appeal publishes today the following review of cotton erop conditions for tbe last week. Excessive rains fell during the week In Georgia and the two Carolinas. Elsewhere tbe ralbfaU was highly benetlqlal to lottou and will contribute greatly to tbe plant's growth. Warm wvaTber set In at tbe close of the week following *unaeaaonab!y low temperatures east of the WMsaippl river fat* several day* This made tk4?«itlook mort hopeful and the week as a wMBb was a favorable one. Widely gcatleced local showers in Oklahoma and Arkanvai were of very great Iwnefit In those atal»* and tbe late planted cotton Is be ginning to coma up, but theca are still some fiebls that have not sprouted. Conditions tn Texas are uniformly good, no complains being reecelvyd. Tbe cotton is not as well developed as last year, but la now grow ing rapidly and the state of cultivation is og ee llent. Cultivation Is generally wel) advanced save in the Atlantic states, where, owing to too much rain, a few fields are grassy, Aa a rule goods stands have been obtained, and the plant la beginning to look more vigorous than heretofore. It Is still amall, however, as growth has been slew. Warmer weather and showers are needed in all centra! and western states to stimulate tbe plant. LIVE STOCK BY WIRE (By Associated Prose.) ST.

RANGE FOR VO UNG CHICKENS TO THOSE who have a nice flock ot young chickens this season, If they are situated so they can possibly do so it would be far better for them to be given an uniniited range rather than to keep them too closely confined In small yards. However, there are several ob jectlons to giving . chickens a free range, but many advantages to b ® K n,ned by 18 almost essential that young tW growing fowls and animals of all JggF kinds should have a certain amount of exercise such as na ture has intended for them. Aft er young chickens are feathered and begin growing they should be niada to take a lot or exercise to develop properh th, rr none and muscle, also their food when they begin growing and are ready for work - ' ‘ ' .’.t/ When young chickens are kept s 4% out 011 a free ’ 1111111111,8(1 ran K e - ’ Igsiip* especially if grass can be had in M abundance, it will play a very 1m- portant part In the future use fulness and earnipg capacity of any chicken that has been raised in this way, and as a vule they will live longer and can stand more high feeding than if they had been raised on a limited space. It Is all right to keep young chickens on a limited space up until they are partridge size and feathered a nd have them' good and fat when they are put out on a free range. Birds that are kept on a free range should be watched Closely and the BUrroUndlfig premises kept absolutely free from any dead carcass or putrid matter of any kind. If this is not done you are likely to lose the entire bunch from limberneck. This pan be avoided by noticing carefully your prem ises every day, and the difference in the future usefulness of your chickens, also in the saving of feed will be worth while of keeping a watchful eye on the range that they Inhabit. Both grain and dry mash should be kept before your youag chick' ens in the house where they roost or under a shed near by, at all times •where they can have free access to this food as they must have It to make the proper growth they should have to make them useful ana valuable birds when they become grown. Young chlckems on a free range, as a rule, color up much better than those that are confined in close yards. Especially can this be said of Rhode Island Reds. Fur thermore, it keeps them in stronger condition and they seem to feather up more evenly and more uniformly than the ones that are Confined In yards. However, just before the pullets begin to lay, if you find your birds are growing too lanky or that they are not developing as they should, and this usually takes place when they are from four to five months old, it is a good idea then to limit their range and yard them, give sufficient food to round out the bodies and put on a flesh that they should have to develop them properly. There is another advantage, you will find that thirds that have been raised on a free range show a big difference, especially tp the second year of their life, as the birds that are raised in confinement, with only a limited range usually haven’t the constitution and do not lay as well or stand high, forcing the second and third years of their lives, as those that have had a free range and everything necessary for development according to nature’s own laws. Chickens that have been confined or their range limited usually mature quicker and will usually lay sooner than those who have had a free range. This Is something that should be avoided in the growing of useful pullets, lay so soon because as a rule they . will not make so profitable a bird aft' v erwards. ’ Yours very truly, QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. Wavnrly Hall, Go.: Will you please tell me what la the matter with my chickens, spring hatched? t Their eyes begin running water and seemed to become filled with bubbles and then swell pp to an enormous size and close entirely., They eat hearty as long as they can see. This sore head some but their heads do not become as sore. Often one eye will become effected and the other not. My chickens have had free access to range and oat field and have been fed on mixed poultry feed. I have been giving a little sulphur and salts in their feed sometlipe, byt this does not 9fiem to keep them from taking this dis ease. I will thank you very kind ly to advise me what the disease is and remedy for same. “ YoUra truly, J. C. SMITH, 't ANSWER. Your chickens have evidently caught cold and it has gone into roupe which is contagious and hard to cure. You should use Conkey’n Roupe Cure, Pomanginate of Potash or Germozone in their drinking water. Each chicken should be caught and bathe their heads in equal parts of camphor, sweet oil and turpentine, with a <■ little carbolic acid mixed in same. You should feed on plnety good sound grain food anu it’ should be fed In a trough. They should also have one soft feed eaeh day with Barker’s Condition powders in IL This trouble la usually breught about by chickens sleeping in damp quarters or sleeping In crowded quarters or where a draft can blow on them. You should change their sleeping quarters and give them plenty fresh air, but see that no draught blows on them and see that their sleeping quarters are dry. It la not a good idea to feed young chickens under nix weeks or two months old any sulphur or salts, especially during spring months or during damp weather as it has a tendency to keep them with a cold. t Aiken, 8. C.: I am just start ing to raise chickens and wish to grow the feeds given them and would greatly appreciate a little Information from you. What grains are contained in the best ehick feeds? Also what proportion? Cyphers seems to put up a good chick feed, but such prices are pro hibition and I should like to know how to mix rpy own feeds. Thank ing you for any information, I am, Yours very truly. H. A. C. ANSWER. Une best, also cheapest and most profitable feeds you can grow for chickens are oats, wheat, sorghum oane seed and corn. These make a balance ration and will produce ttyore in the south than anything you can grow per acre. Most of the chicken feeds that are now on the market are composed of crack ed corn, wheat, caffet corn and oats. These form the basis of the, mixture. : j . - i' - 1 One pf the greatest draw, backs in the raising of chickens is the. high price of feed, and I suppose this will continue as long as food products for fowls, animals and people remain at the price they are now selling at. Alfalfa, both green and cured is practically the basis of my feed. I feed a large per cent of this every day and can grow It cheaper than anything I know of In the way of feeo. Until you can raise a crop of feed, about the best and cheapest thing you can <Jo will be to continue to buy either Corno and Cyphers’ Scratch feed and Aunt Patsey already prepared dry mash feed as they are the best and cheapest in the end of anything I know of so long as you have to buy it. Decatur, Ga.—l have a fine White Leghorn hen that must be sick and I don’t know what to do with her. All the others seem perfectly healthy. This one stands all droop ed, or else sits around asleep most of the time. When called to feed she responds very readily. I keep fresh, clean water for them, they have A good range of plenty of green and give thep scratch feed, soft feed occasionally and aome time/i porn. Now any advice on this line will be appreciated, for I hate to lose a nice chicken. ' Respectfully, .< • s MRS. H. H. HUGHES. ANSWER. It would be impossible for me to tell just exactly what the trou ble is with your .hen: Examine her T '_aiyJ see if she Is not.Jpfested with lice. .If so, (jlp ,hqr In a solution es disinfectant and also give her about, three times per day some soft feed with Barker’s Condition Powders mixed with it. If she eats hearty there is evidently some thing wrong with her digestive or gans, and unless you get her sys , tern in good working order she will not recqver. A good dose of vase line, say one-half of a 5-oent bottle, would also benefit her. East Point, Ga.—Sunday morning I had three White Leghorn qhicks about two mopths old, which were rather small to their age, but seem ed droopy, to fall, or rather I found them down, stretched out appar ently dead. I picked them up and found that they were alive, but seemed to be paralysed or some thing. They would stretch out their feet and double back their heads like, they had cramp and that every muscle in them was being drawn tight. Very soon they died. I took a knife and cut them open and found that they did not have a particle of food in their crop, and nothing much In their bowels. I cut open their gizzard which was almost empty except some grit and some watery like stuff. The liver seemed to be all right. If you will describe this trouble to me, and a remedy .hrough The Journal, I will certain.y appreciate it. I have had several to die this spring with the above-named dis ease. R. L. SHEFFIELD. ANSWER. The chickens referred to evident ly died from weakness. At the age mentioned Httls chickens have a hard time to pull through and grow a ooat of feathers which they do at this age, and the drain on their system unless they are properly nourished beforehand weakens them to such an extent that they cannot stand the drain and will often die from what Is known by pigeon breeders as ’’go ing light.” If a little chicken ontee becomes weak, even for the want of food to furnish strength and constitution sufficient to stand this trying drain of growing feathers, they will often become so weak that they will die from no appar ent cause. I am confident that your chickens had gotten in thia condi tion and simply did not have the strength to grow ' and withstand the trouble. . . Atlanta, Ga.—l have several hens 1 that have dropped all their fluffy feathera, the baldness extending un der the breast and over the rump In one or two cases. One has died af ter lingering a couple of months. The others are lively and eat as well as ever. Have fed table scrape, scalded oats, beet leaves and once a day on whole corn. The corn had rotten grains In it which were picked out, but I noticed the hearts of the oth erwise sound looking grains had a dark look. I overlooked mentioning that where the skin is bare it looks rough and red, but there is no erup tion. Can this be the form assumed by pellagra on chickens fed on un sound corn? Everyone who has seen them or to whom I have spoken to them say they never heard of any thlnk like it. Kindly tell me some thing of this kind of thing and If anything can be done. Respectfully, MRS. L. A. W. answer. It is very often the rase that a hen that has *be*n very fat will be ef fected as yours are This is caused moatiy from the other chickens, or sometimes from the hen herself pick ing those feathers and eating them. It would not cause death, something else is due to the cause of the one that was lost. If the chickens are given a free range these feathers will come back, provided the other chick ens quit picking them, and they usual ly do so when they can find plenty of exercise and other things to be kept busy at. It is not a good idea to feed much corn during the sum mer months, especially whole corn. Wheat and clipped oats are better. Most of the scratch feeds that are sold on the market mixed with half white clipped oats makes a splendid summer feed. I d° not think It would be possible for them to be effected with pellagra. If so. It would be In a different form. If the effected parte are rubbed with a mixture of one pint of raw lin seed oil to which has been added two ounces of carbolic acid it will qpften tpese parts and bring the grpwth of feathers quickly. You will find this trouble mostly with the large over fat henq. Fort Meade. Fla. —I have a Jeraey cow whose udder Is in bad shape. It becomes hard and when I milk her the milk is yellow and lumps come from the tit like butter, bran and hulls. Please tell me what to dp .for her. She is getting old, brings calf every year. How is this for hogs: One-half Tamworth, one-fourth Duroc Jer sey and one-fourth Berkshire? Yours truly, J. D. FORRESTER. ANSWER. The trouble with your cow is that r her system has too much cotton seed mppl, give corn meal bran feeding this for a short time. You should also drench her with ore half pound of Black Draught Stock Powders made into a tea with one half gallon of boiling water. This Should be repeated at the end of one week. Instead of giving cotton seed meal, fllve corn megl bran and beet pulp, and if possible give her plenty of green food. By get ting her system cleaned out and in good shape the trouble will dis appear if it has not gone too far. The cross mentioned in hogs is all right for a farmer’s hog, and should make a good thrifty hog for your section. Commerce, Qa. —Please give me advice how to raise little turkeys on {he farm, what to feed them and how often. I had fifteen, fed them on sweet milk and bipcult with a little black pepper in |t They all died but nine. Now I feed corn dough like chickens and turn Them out after dew is off. Any advice will be appreciated as I never raised any turkeys. \ MRS. D. A. SMITH. ANSWER. Little turkeys should be fed dur ing tha first few days on boiled eustard, and then on curd mixed With boiled eggs and corn meal. They should not have the pepper in their feed, as they do not require H. As soon as they are old enough to notice or to eat grain they should have at least one feed each day of commercial chick feed, or crushed wheat and cracked corn. They like insects and should have a good grass range every day after the daw is off. ‘ Also see that they have no lice on them. Gadsden, Ala.—l have a pair of White Fan-tail pigeons. I got them in December, The hep has laid apd set twice. Layed four eggs each time, but the eggs were infertile both times. They are free to go where they will but they never get' ohY of the yard. I have fed them well and put hay for their nest. Shall I let them make their own nest and no{ feed them so much? Please let ma know what the trouble is 'through The Journal. Respectfully, KENDRICK TEAGUE. ANSWER. Both of your pigeons are evidently hens. As a rule pigeons lay twd eggs, and by your pigeons laying four eggs and then not being fertile is sufficient evidence that they are both hens. If you will get two male birds and place with them you will find that tile eggs will be fertile. Athens, Ga.—l have a chicken which holds its head over and the water runs 9Ut of its mouth. It can't walk with out falling down, and also hollows. It drinks water all right but does not eat much. It has a hard craw. Please give me a remedy. I have had five or six to die in this way. Yours truly, MON ER CARTY. ANSWER. You should cut the craw of your chicken that is effected open, re move the substance that they can not digest and sew the craw back up. Your chickens are evidently getting something that they can not digest. They should have some coarse grit and oyster shell, and be fed on soft feed until their systems get in good condition. If the sick chicken you mention is very weak it would be best to chop Its head off and burn it. It does not pay to doctor sick chickens, but try to keep tha well ones from getting sick. If you open the craw of the one that is now sick you will probably find out what they aye eat ing that has caused the trouble. It should be removed or you can ex pect further trouble if you allow them to eat the same food that has caused the death of the others. Atlanta, Ga.—l have a hen just come off with 20 little chicks. They are two days old and full of lice. Will you kindly tell me what to do for them. I realize this is a bad time to hatch chickens. ONE OF YOUR READERS. ANSWER. If you will dip the hen In a solu tion of one part dip to 75 parts water, keep her away from the little chick ens a few hours until she is dry, it ■ will make the Hoe disappear from • the little chickens when they go un der her. A very small ampunt of plain lard on the head of each little cnlck will also kill the lice, but do not put any on their bodies. Atlanta, Ga.—Please give me if possible, a little information on the condition of rough eggs. All of my hens lay roughed eggs on the big end and a number are spotted. What can I do to correct this trouble? Respectfully. R. R. DUNLAP. ANSWER. Occasionally a hen will lay a rough egg and often have spots on them, known as lime spots. This shows that they are getting an excess of lime or shell, more than their system can utilize. By giv ing them more exercise and chang ing their feed this can be correct ed to some extent, but as a han continues to lay her system will usually absorb this surplus and the eggs will get smoother the more they lay. Griffin, Ga.: Will you pleaser send mq directions for feed ing little turkeys for first '• four weeks? Thanking you for an early reply, as I have some turkey* tp come off {he latter part of this week. ' Respectfully, MRS. W. C. BARBER. ANSWER. I have had several articles in The Journal in reference to feeding lit tle turkeys. The best feed for them during the first week is boil ed custard, then they should •»« gradually changed off to curd, boil ed eggs and corn mqal As soon as they are old enough to eat grain they should have some graite food in addition to the curd, eggs and Co{n meal. You should see that they are free from insects and are kept up until after the dew is off in the morning. A good grass range for them to go on during the day will be a great benefit to them. Cordele, Ga. —Would appreciate very much if you will tell me what is the matter with my little chick ens, and a remedy. They act as if - they were choking, they gape and act as though they hgve something in their throats. I think they have the gapes, but am not sure and do not know what to ao for them. I feed them Dixie chic|c feed and two parts wheat bran to one part com mercial meat scraps, and have fed them a few oats. They run on a grassy lot, and their quarters are clean. The one* that are affected sre about 5 weeks old. Thanking you for what infor mation you can give me. I am A SUBSCRIBER. ANSWER. From description given, your chickens evidently haye gapes. You can cure this trouble by using one-half teaspoopful of turpentine to one quart of soft feed every day until relieved. Feed them on a plank, in a trough or on clean ground, a different from where they have ben used to eat ing. T hoß ® that are affected most should pe treated by taking a small feather, put a few drops of turpen tine on some lard and dip thia feather down their throats. The Conkey people make a gape worm cure. The grounds that your chick ens inhabit should be limed and either plowed er spaded up to kill the worms. WANTED—MALE HELP AUTOMOBILE COLLBGB. 23 K. Caln St..
