Cables were not quite up to expectations and profe ssional traders were Inclined to go short on the theory that the reaction of yesterday was all that was called for. for the time lieinst. The market had no real selling power in the frarly trading, but. also, ii had little or no support and prices were inclined to sag. The weather map was again dry. which was con sidered favorable fo»* farm work. At the end of the first hour of business prices were* 4 to 6 points under yesterday’s close. The market displayed considerable weakness Ht times after 1he middle of the morning and selling was general. Scattered liquidation was «’ evidence but the bulk of offerings came from fresh short sellers. The one supporting influ- ?nco of the market was the refusal of spots to follow the decline. Reports from nearly all •ections of the south were to the effect that spot owners were indifferAit to development in the future market. At the lowets in the morn ing prices were 2£ to 23 points under yesterday’s .'losing level: nt noon they were 1.8 to 20 under.

L■ CARPENTER & CO.’S COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Selling has come from all shies and only support of consequence seemed to be short covering. There was fair buying by New Orleans brokers also. The large spot interests were apparently buying March and selling July, though brokers closely Identified with them were selling the whole list. Sentiment continues extremely bearish and unquestionably the long interest has been reduced to u great extent and it is believed that there is a local short interest existing. Those who favor the bull side are rather timid at the moment and believe with such bearish feeling that the market will be carried lower. However, this depends on the strength of spots. With no weakness from that source we may ex pect a rally at any time. There is no evi dence so far or weakness among holders. HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, La.. Jan. 16.—Political j news from Europe again played a part In shap ing trading today. London says*that the Bal- | kans are determined to resume war and that | hostilities are merely delayed for a few days in deference to the powers. This was in con I trnst with the optimistic prophets from Liver pool yesterday and, as futures in that market were disappointing it led to easiness here around the opening. Spots in Liverpool were higher. ! sales 8,000. I New York opinion also shows a decided change j from the bullish harmony of the past month. Some say ruling interests have definitely with drawn tiieir support, leaving the market with out a definite leader. The firm attitude and the confidence ot spot holders is now the main- si ay to prices. Trading here settled around 12.40 for May, market dull awaiting developments. Compari sons of mill takings tomorrow will be bullish as takings last year were only 336.000. The large weekly mill takings last year did not be gin until first week of Februry. Present com parisons therefore, may prove Very misleading as to their relation to the final total. Export statistics for week will compare unfavorably with 1st year, showing around 200,000 less ex ports for this year. In sight promises are 275.500 against 370,- 546 last year. Market weakened in second hour, March soiling back to 12.20. Market feels the loss of leadership on the bull side and the in creasing pessimism over politics. There is a demand for spots but it is being satisfied by hedged cotton which is selling considerably under free holdings. BUTTER, CHEESE AND EGGS (By Associ&ted Press.)

Office The Catti’e Industry In the Sooth O NE of the most important things connected with the cattle industry of the south is to get red of the ticks, and Sec retary Wilson’s recommendation that $300,000 be appropriated for this purpose was one of the wisest moves that has ever been made, but unless (he farmers of the south co-operate with the United State government who are so will ing to give their assistance, this work can not be quickly and prop erly done, but with this great ap propriation it looks like the south ern states will eventually come into its own. The world will have to look to this section in time to come for a large supply of its food prod ucts, and why should we delay and put off year by year helping the government, who are so willing to help us in this most important work. The thousands of acres of waste lands in Jfie southern states that are now growing abundant crops of grasses could so easily convert these grasses into food products that would not only help feed the nation, but would make immene profits for the owner of these lands. / With the tick eradication and the immuning of hogs In this country, which makes them absolutely safe from cholera the southern states could easily furnish a large part of the food products that would feed the na tion on cheap lands and with climatic conditions that do not exist in any other section of the country where land can be had at anything like the price they can now be had in the southern states. With the cotton seed hulls and the cotton seed meal products as a basis for food for fattening animals on no other section of the world could possibly compete with the southern states, out just so long as ticks exist over me south they will sap the life out of the best class of cattle and will make the cattle raised on the average southern farm sell at a low price and show the breeder a low per cent of profit, but these conditions as have been worked out by the United States government are so easy to get rid of there is no ex cuse whatever for any land owner in the south or stock breeder in the south having to put up with them any further. The few men who have practiced the methods as outlined by the government «nd are keeping their cattle clean are the ones who are making large per cent of profit and are opening the way and showing others what can be done. This work is gradually and slowly being brought! about in many pf the southern states. The necessity will eventually force and compel many to change their methods and take up tl^is work, hut from present indica tions it looks like now that nothing except actual force will ever compel the people of the south to take up the raising of their own mules, their own cattle and something to supply the outside world with, and their hog products. Hogs which are known as mortgage lifters of the world will turn a farmer’s money for him quicker and show him a larger per cent of profit than any other line of live stock, and with the thousands of cheap acres of land that will produce hundreds of bushels of peanuts, rape, oats, corn and sweet potatoes, and last but the best of all peas and soy beans, the southern farmers can raise pork enough feed the nation at a low cost of production. But, they must first of all realize that they must not only have the quality of hogs that will convert these foods into pounds of flesh quickly, but above all things, they must ,:se the precau tions so essential to the saving of their hogs and this is innoculation to guard against hog cholera, which can be so easily had and so cheaply done and given us by our state at so low a cost of getting it, hut our people even then do not use these precautions or take advantage of these great opportunities that the • __ government and state are placing at <-/? (\. , , . our door. Yours very truly, QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Newborn, Ga. I have -a little Fox Terrier about two years old who has second litter of pups, the present litter being’ about a week old. Each time that she has had puppies she has shak ing spells at different intervale, her body shakes and her ^eth chatter like a person with a hard chill. I give her castor oil and she is usually over it by the next day. I feed her for the most part on bread and gravy, fresh butter milk and a little beef oc casionally. She has a good warm house to sleep in on the cotton ana has never been sick except these shaking spells when she has pup pies. I am a boy twelve years old ana think lots of my dog as she is full bred, arlfo will appreciate very much anything that you will suggest that will help her. J. H. C. ANSWER. It is possible that the Fox Terrier's system is out of condition which causes the trouble mentioned by you. If she sh'ould eat anything that should upset her system or cause in digestion it would bring about the trouble mentioned. ^ You have dorie the right thing by giving a dose of castor oil. A good does of Vermi fuge or Sargent’s Condition Pills would really be better than the cas tor oil for her. When ever you no tice one of these spells coming on it is best to treat her at once. There is not likely to be any danger .from the trouble. \ QUESTION. Will you please answer the fol lowing questions in the next issue of The Atlanta Journal? What is your opinion in feeding green bone? Do you think it injures the hens any? I have read that hens fed regularly for one year on green bone were not good any longer. Please advise fully. How much does it cost to raise a chicken, six months feeding on feed at $2.50 per hundred? For the first month and each month thereafter? Is a rye patch as good as sprouted oats? Is the green bone as good as beef scraps to feed? Does the green bone take the place of the beef scraps? Thanking you for this informa tion, I am, G. G. B. Caryville, Fla. ANSWER.

The measure will be considered by the sen ate tomorrow. Mr.Anderson’s Qrfufciitg STOPPED By ms Wife She Will Tell You how she did rrrillX WRITE Y® HER* Through the offer of Mrs. Margaret Anderson, of Hillbum, N. Y., whose husband was a confirmed drunkard for over 20 years, every man and woman who has a dear one who drinks, can learn how she stopped his drinking com pletely, in their own little home, easily and rjickly. YfW. m -r Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. It was over ten years ago that Mrs. Mar garet Anderson after trying in every way that she could think of to cure him finally gave her husband a simple little remedy. Much to her delight it completely stopped hia drinking. He has not touched liquor since. Then, wondering if this remedy really was a cure for drunkenness, she tried it on her brother and several neighbors who were hard drinkers and it stopped them also. She now W'ishes every man and woman who has a dear one who drinks to know what this remedy is, for she feels that it v/ould prove a blessing to many other homes. It can be given to a drinker without his knowledge if desired, and without cost she will gladly and willingly answer every letter received from those who are interested in stopping a friend or relative from drink. It is not even necessary to write a letter to her. If you prefer you can simply send your name and address on a postal card. She will understand what it is that you desire and will reply at once in a sealed envelope so that there will be no publicity in your affairs. As she has nothing to sell do not send her money. Just be careful to write your name and address plainly so that you will be sure to receive her letter. Mrs. Anderson’s complete address is: Mrs. Margaret Anderson, 506 Pine Ave., Hillburn, N. Y. . This is a sincere offer of a wife and mother who 13 truly anxious to send you this information. B< were and write her if you have one whom you vnsi Retire Q) drinking. judgment two or three times a week it will not injure, whether 'old or young chickens. In fact, fowls of all kinds require more or less ani mal food^ and must have it if they thrive arid do well. The only ob jection to feeding green bone in a hot climate is that it is almost im possible to keep them fresh and oc- casoinally a lot wil be sour or tainted, and if chickens get one or two feeds of this kind it will upset their systems in suen a way that it requires some time for them to re cover. The best and cheapest meth od of feeding mea£ is by feeding it in the shape oj; {J prepared meat scraps or. desice^tqd, fish which are sold by nearly all poultry supply dealers. It keeps almost indefinite ly when prepared in this form and answers every purpose of the green bone and you take no risk in up setting their systems by giving them a feed that ie unsound some time. Usually when hens are forced and fed iota ofr egg-producing materials which are contained in green bone the better part of their laying capacity is exhausted after the first year of their lives. That is one reason why so many people think it injurious to feed a large amount of meat, but it is far bet ter to feed your pullets the first year and force them to produce every egg possible during the first year of their lives rather than ex tend this time over several years. It is better to get a profit out of a hen the first year and replace her with strong, vigorous plllets the first year, which are far more prof itable than a lot or old hens. With feed at $2.50 per hundred it will cost $1.00 to $1.50 to ma ture a chicken as it should be up to six months old. It usually costs from 5 cents to 10 cents to feed a chicken the first month of its life, 10 cents to 20 cents the second month, and of course the older it gets it will cost a fraction more. The first six months of a chicken’s life, while it is growing and con suming a large amount of feed, it cc»sts fully £S much, if not more, to develop it as it should be, as it will to nlaintain it after it is grown. A flock of young growing chickens from three to six months old will consume a large amount of feed, and unless they have a good range it costs more to raise one with feed at $2.50 per hundred than they will bring, especially for eating purposes. They will bring just a*s much as a broiler, six to ten weeks old as they will when grown, and the time to get the largest per cent of profit out of a chicken in the south is to raise them during the winter months and sell when the market is high. A good rye patch, ^specially when it is tender is just as good as sprouted oats. The only trouble is that the rye will become tough with age and the chickens will not con sume as much of it or digest it as easily as they will tender sprout ed oats. BIGGER) BETTER!! Mora LShepa!
