THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913. 11 (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. Jan. 23.—Cotton opened steady at a decline of 1 point on January and March, but generally 3 to 4 points higher, and the active old crop positions sold 10 to 12 points above yesterday’s closing during the early trad ing. This reflected a renewal of yesterday’s buying movement, encouraged by. firmness in Liverpool. Llevrpool bought here, but the mar ket met a great deal of cotton on the advance and later eased off to abdpt the closing figures of last night. Reports from New Orleans that the advance March 20, and a total growth, a coord iug to Mr. Hester, of 16,300,000. The full text of the census report says that corrected ginnings to January 1 are 12.97.405 and on this basis Aim amount ginned for the period this year is 1S4.000, or only 15,000 less than last year. Liverpool came in good with futures about o points better than duo; spots, 9 points higher. Cables said that the optirilism over peace caused the advance.

The market was slid freely on the call and the rally came when some of the former hull leaders came into the ring and were conspicuous on the buying side. This caused a wave of short covering, which carried the market to the high point of the day. when selling again became general the most of which was attributed to Wall street and the uptown crowd. The ring scalpers also sold and in the absence of hull support some decline followed. The sentiment of the Balkan situa tion is believed will have a stimulating effect. There is some importance attached to the con gregation here of some of the former bull lead ers who have been prominent on the bull side since their arrival. This has caused some un easiness among the bears. However, it is the belief among the leading bears the market is entirely too high. A good demand was reported from - the continent, also from eastern and southern mills. ,^WILL COST $20,000 TO PROBE CROW INDIANS (By Associated Press.)

Lu-oii- THE WORK OF TWO WOMEN WITH POULTRY T HE following article clipped from Practical Poultry and written by Mrs. E. D. Moore, of Winder, Ga., shows what a great contrast there is in different peo ple who take up the poultry busi ness. It further shows what de termination with a little business judgment can do for a lady when she makes up her mind to accom plish something. Ladies as suc cessful poultry breeders are far su perior to men and can usually ac complish results that men cannot. This article if carefully read will convince many that they can suc ceed and make money out of poul- Vly if they go at it in the right way and give it the attention it must have to be profitable. I have repeatedly stated that pure bred poultry has solved the question of^pin money, and that it is often the entire support of many- women. The farmer’s wives and daughters have fewer ways of earning money than their town friends, and in many cases more in need of ready money. The wonder is why they did not begin years ago to keep pure bred or fancy poultry. It is a well known fact that theory fails to go with a majority of our farmer friends. They must have facts to back up every statement, and facts I will produce. Here are two extreme cases which have come under my observation. One lady, in easy circumstances, is located in central, and the other, not so well fixed, in north- Georgia. Lady number one was lonely and took up breeding pure bred S. C. Rhode Island Reds for a pastime, and becapse she loved fowls. We all know the chicken fever is contagious. It is also progressive; it passes from one stage to another. Our friend soon tired of mere pure breds; she wanted fancy prize winners. She pur chased some high-priced males and m. ted with her best females, and made her first public showing last season, and made many, many sales at fancy prices.. She sold one pen for $350 and fifteen cockerels in two weeks at $25 each. I have not heard from her in the past three weeks, but know she has uoubled these sales. For her it has been a paying busi ness although the money was not the object of the venture. The second lady was very poor, her family large and her husband a renter, seldom staying over a year at the same place. She depended upon her chickens and eggs to buy the greater part of the children’s wearing apparel. She was peddling out some chickens one day in a near-by town. She asked the lady of the liouse if she wanted to buy a fry. She was answered: “No, I have plenty; come and see them in pens.” This poor woman had never seen anything like those fine birds, all alike, and she remarked: “They look good enough to eat feathers and all,” and expressed the thought that “the poor, ugly, hard looking things she had could not be chickens.” She had no money, but the owner f the pure breds, seeing her cir cumstances, let her have a good male bird in exchange for some corn. I^ater she brought some potatoes and peas and asked if they could pay for a pullet, and when she got not one, hut three for her own, she was one of the happiest women on earth. The next year,she sold six settings of eggs to her neighbor at $1.00 per setting. (She purchased wire to make a pen with the money.) She raised 27 chicks the past year, and sold off all her scrubs, giving her pure breds free range. She sold $30 worth of eggs to set, over 50 ofLcolored birds at frying size for 30 cents each, when she had only gotten 15 and 20 cents for the same s ; ze mongrels, exchang ing a pair of birds to a merchant’s wife for a bolt of domestic, and an other pair for three pairs of .shoes for the children. Next year she will use her wire and have a special mating to produce show birds. She car ried more corn, peas, potatoes, etc., over to the breeder and exchanged for ft trio mated to produce fancy specimens. Thi3 woman has made a success. She is in love with her work; she sees the needs of her children and realizes that more can he made at home from popltry. She is eager to learn, and the breeder from whom she got her birds saves every poul try magazine for her as well as good periodicals for her children, and ex plains all matters to her when she cannot, with her meager education, grasp their meaning. She is not afraid to work and finer birds is her motto. What this poor woman, without one cent to spend for stock, has done in two years is wonderful. You, dear friends, whp own your own homes and want to make -fcnoaey, take heart. Get p'ure feed poultry, take some good poultry paper; give your birds proper attention and at the end of the year count the pleasure and profit. QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. LaGrange, Ga. Some time ago L read in The Semi-Weekly Journal where some one was making inquiries about guinea pigs. I became interested in the subject and want to know more about them. Would like to raise some for sale. Where can they be purchased and at what price? Also how many should a be ginner start with? Are they hard to raise? Do they multiply as rapidly as white rabbits? How old do they have to be before serum can be made from them? You spoke of feeding on vegetables, wheat and corn, but did not say whether corn should be green or ripe grain. Do you think they could be raised suc cessfully in small enclosure out of doors in good weather? Please pardon so many questions, but any information you can give will be greatly appreciated. MISS L. L. L. ANSWER. Guinea pigs, as a rule, are very ea'sy to raise. You can ^get more in formation about raising them than I could possibly give you if you will go to Kimballville farm and look over the splendid lot they have. You can not only secure your stock there but they will be glad to tell you how to care for and raise them. They are very easily raised, but do not multiply as fast as rabbits. Good healthy ones are too cheap to take any such chances in keep ing an unhealthy bird in the flock to produce youngsters from him that are sure to be effected likewise. The hatchet is the best thing for him if he does not yield readily to the treatment given him. WAITED Sufferers to know that the celebrated Prof. Fowler is still located at New Lon don. Conn., (P. O. Box No, 6U1), where lie is curing the sick and afflicted, same as for many years, of Blood Poison, Wasting Weak nt-ss, Lost Vitality, Nervous Debility, Varico cele, etc. When others fall, and you despair of a cure, write the old Prof, in confidence for his trial treatment offer of his unrivaled reme dies, and be restored thereby to health, strength and vigor.

I have a 'thoroughbred young cockerel that is suffering from roupe. ♦ Three weeks ago I noticed it and began giving Roupe pills from Has tings. I have given these regularly, according to directions and in addi tion have given him plent) r of vas eline internally and have applied it generously to his head, especially around the comb. He eats but does not seem to get better. I am tempt ed to kill him, but as he is fine stock I desire to cure him if possible. Knowing your experience, I ask that you kindly advise me of the best treatment. I have been tola that if he recovers, he will not serve my purpose as a breeder. Kind ly give me your opinion and I shall be governed accordingly. Thanking you in advance, I am, E. P. S. ANSWER. It would be best for you to kill the cockerel that has had the long standing case of roupe. It is not advisable to breed from any bird that has had a serious case of roupe.
