NEW YORK, May 1.—Cotton opened firm at an advance of 10 to 19 points on heavy cov ering and an active demand from bulls or reactionists who were encouraged by firm ca bles, rei>orts of a smaller increase in acreage than expected and ti bullish view of the near month situation. The .advance ran the market Into big selling orders which appeared to come largely from the south. With the forecasts in dicating good weather prices eased off several points from the best during the early trnding. The market was very nervous and unsettled toward the end of the first hour. Trading became less active late In the fore noon, but there was a demand from recent sell ers or bullish sources, and the market ruled very steady at npon with prices about 10 to 15 points net higher.

Mar 1.—-Dutton futures opened steady at .an advance of 11 to 17 points on sensationally high cables, which private mes sages said wore due P» cold weather In Texas and heavy covering of the short interest. Hie advance did not hold well for bears pointed out that Texas, temperatures were higher than they have been for several days past. ^ The estimate of an Increase in acreage of 3.7 per cent from a private crop reporting bureau also stimulated fresh shvrt sales. At the highest in the early trading prices were 14 to 19 points up. At the end of the first half hour of business they were 6 to 8 points up. Bearish sentiment was less strong around the middle of the morning than for some time past and sealners commenced to take the long side on the theory that the reaction upward had not run its course. The area of high pressure In the northwest on the weather map caused the prediction of colder weather and added to the uneasiness of holders of sliorL contracts. At noon The market was quiet and steady with the trading months showing n gain of ten to thirteen points over the final figures of yes terday. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

Journal of Commerce Reports Average Increase in Acre age of 2,8 Per Cent NEW YOFK, May 1.—Preliminary estimates of acreage, the amount of fertilizers u&ed and the earliness or lateness of the season as as certained by the Journal of Commerce and Com mercial Bulletin through 1,000 replies of spe cial correspondents of an average date of April 23 indicate an increase in acreage over last year of 2.8 per cent. As tunny corespondents regarded it as too early to make definite esti mates. this result must be regarded as tenta tive- ami subject to revision in our next month’s report. A year ago no estimate was attempted ow ing to the lateness of the season. Acreage increases or decreases and days late nr early are shown by states In the accompany ing table: Late or Inc. or Dec. Early. North Carolina Plus 1.3 2L South Carolina 0.0 7L Georgia Minus 1.7 6L Florida.. Minus 6.2 8L Alabama Minus 0.8 8L Mississippi Plus 3.5 Louisiana Plus 20.0 3L Texas Plus 3.6 10L Arkansa Plus 4.3 Tennessee Minus 0.3 Missouri Plus 9.0 1L Oklahoma Plus 9.0 IL Average plus 2.8. Important increases are shown in Missis sippi with 3.5 per cent, Louisiana with 20 per cent, Texas with 3.0 per cent, Arkansas with 4.3 per cent and Oklahoma with 9 per cent. Decreases are noted in Georgia with 1.7 per cent, Alabama with 0.8 per cent and Tennes see with '0.3 per cent. The lessenened fear of the boll weevil has Induced many farmers to heavily increase their cotton acreage, which is particularly noticeable in Louisiana, but part of this is due to sugar land going into cotton. Fertilizers are more liberally used in nearly all sections. Too much rain with low temperatures early in the season left the ground cloddy and hard; this was followed by dry weather, preventing germination and necessitating considerable re planting. Stands where obtained were gener ally poor except in Texas?, and most states are badly needing a good, warm rain. Compared with a year ago -prospects are much more favorable, when rains were «o ex cessive as to make the season two to three weeks backward. MISS GILE’S ACREAGE REPORT Miss Giles gives an approximate increase In acreage of 3.7, making total acreage 35,703,- 600, compared with an acreage picked in 1912 of 34,424.000. Planting exceeds last year on a like date, there being 40 per cent of the land seeded compared with 25 per cent last year and 40 per cent in 1911. Fertilizer sales show 5 per cent increase.

T HERE are but few people who undertake either of these lines\ of work that ever realize or stop to think and figure a little when they once become interested and attempt to enter the fancy breeding busi ness what their ruture will be ten yer.rs hence, or figure on their first start and what it really amounts to in the end by starting right or wrong. Many will think that it takes quantity and will undertake to start at the top rather than the bottom and bot(i in cattle and in poultry will havt,. numbers instead of quality in sight all the time. Many of this class make a big mis take and if they would only realize this in the beginning, rather than the end they would be far better off. For instance, after eight or ten years’ time has been spent in building up a herd of cattle or a flock of chickens one can look back and see their mistakes. It is too late then usually to attempt to cor rect them or start over. Therefore, one (cannot be too careful in get ting I started right. Even though it take longer it is far better to Btart with' something good in the beginning rather than to take something ordinary for your foun dation. I have in mind a man who started many years ago to breed up a herd ot dairy cows. He bought good foundation blood hut not thoroughbreds or animals that had any known blood behind them, only they were individuals. Every year by close culling he has kept his best and has at last worked up a herd of very profitable dairy ani mals consisting close to one hun dred head. He has carefully kept the milk records of these animals year after year and knew exactly what each cow made or earned for him. He has spent eight or ten years in this work and building this herd of cattle. They have made monf(v and are valued at what they can do every day at the pail and are easily worth an average of $100 per head; On the other hand, if.this party had begun with thoroughbred registered animals of +,he_ same quality the original cost in the beginning would have cost him’ about $500 more money and today the difference that a herd of thorough bred registered animals with such records as he has behind his herd of grades, the same number of cattle would easily he worth $200 per head in stead of $100, which would make for him a difference in the 'eight years of actual dollars and cents that he would be worth today if he had probably spent $500 njore in the beginning it would mean to him today not less than $10,000 to say the least of it. This is an instance that I have watched closely and my figures are based on fair prices and actual facts and results. But, how few people see things in this light when they start- They are the things that should be considered in beginning any line of live stock, poultry or farming operations, and they should be carefully figured on before going too far. I know of a number of poultry breeders who hav6 done likewise. For instance, I know of one party who for four years from cheap, ordinary birds attempted to breed prize winners, but never during that time even though a large number were raised, and a few of the best selected was this party ever able to secure any of the blue ribbons. But, he made a new start and converted several hundred birds into five good ones that fcad the proper line breeding behind thein. The result has been that in the .past two years this party iias scarcely lost a first or second prize in the strongest of compe.-tion, and during this time has furnished many prize winners to others and has made more money in one year from this beginning of five good birds than they had previously made in five years by using several ....... hundred ordinary ones. ■< ■ w , Yours very truly, J " c ~f (TO BE CONTINUED.) QUESTIONS ASKED QUESTION. Harrison, Ga. I am having trouble with my little chickens with sore head. 1 had about fifteen hatched in January to die with it. I have now 150 hatched in March that are just beginning to take it. I would thank you very much if you could tell me something to do for them. The dis ease starts with little sores around the eyes and top of head, it swells un til the eyes are entirely closed. I have done everything that I know what to do. The chicks are in a per fectly sanitary place. Would greatly appreciate any information you will give me. c. L. W. ANSWER. It is something unusual for sore head to appear among chickens at this season of the year. I am in clined to believe that your chicken's have cold or a slight touch of roup instead of sore head. However, if they have sore head if you will treat the well ones as well as the sick ones with an application of one pint of raw linseed oil to which has been added one ounce of carbolic acid, only two applications of this will cure the sore head. Use only a small amount. Do not put too much grease on them. It is all right to use Epsom salts in the drinking water twice a week to pre vent or stop the spread of sore head in the flock of chickens, but it should not be used with young chickens un der four weeks old.

AND ANSWERED. cent should I raise after I get on to it properly? Any general information you pan give will be greatly appreciated. J, A. H. ANSWER. If you will only use the commer cial scratch feed to start yopr lit tle chicks off on the first ten days of their lives you will have better success with them. The brooder should be kept at a temperature’ of 103 for at least four weeks. Proper feeding and proper warmth will pre vent white diarrhoea when nothing else will. If your little chickens are properly fed and from good parent stock you should raise from <5 to 95 per cent of every one you hatch. After they are ten days old they should have kept before them at all times a mixture of two parts bran and one part commercial beef scraps. QUESTION. Gorgon, Ga. Will you please tell me the trouble with my hens? I have a fine Rhode Island ReCr. She is trou bled with her neck or head. It seems to be in her neck. When she stands she holds her head down between her feet, or if she holds it up at all she has got it lent away over one sided as though she had no use for her neck at all. When she walks she is like she is drunk and can’t govern her self in the way she want to go. She falls down and wallers. She don’t eat at all only as we force it in her. Please state the trouble and a rem edy for same. Has been affected about a week. ANSWER. The hep has become affected with some nervous trouble which often af fects chickens, and usually after they recover they have a weakness In their system that leaves them almost unfit for use. With a good dose of vasei- ing as large as the end of your finger given in the mouth twice a day may loosen up her system and thorougn- ly cleanse her out and she may re cover from the trouble. If not it would be useless to undertake to keep her and cure her. Chickens, like peo ple, often become upset from no ap parent cause and unless they arc val uable they are not worth doctoring. 1 QUESTION. New nan, Ga. I wish to get some information in regard to raising little chickens, knowing that you have had (so much) experience that you could help me. The first hatch did fine, only lost two. But the next ones didn’t do well at all, lost 50 per cent. I feed Pratt’s chick feed, rolled oats, cracked wheat and hard- boiled eggs to start with. I keep their appetites sharp all the while. I keep plenty of grits before them. Also I try to not overheat them. Should the brooder % be warm enough for them to not huddle at night? How much sunshine should they have for the first week? How often should they be fed? 1 Is there any remedy that will prevent white diarrhoea? If so, what? At what age should they have commercial beef diet?, I am a beginner and need a lot of information. I am determined tor stay at it if I can raise a reasonable amount. What j>er QUESTION. Stuckey, Ga. Will you please tell me some thing that will destroy chicken mites? They are giving me a lot of trouble. They are the red mites. They almost make my hens quit their nests they serve them so bad. Any information that you can give me will be appreciated. MRS. C. B. G. ANSWER. You can destroy the mites by the free use of Noxide. If this mixture is sprayed around the walls and nests and the roosts thoroughly painted with it. and the -chickens are dipped in any of the disinfec tant dips that are advertised in The Atlanta Journal you can thor oughly rid your premises of mites.

I think It was in The Journal. What is the price? MRS. <?. G. F. ANSWER Usually the people who pay the most money for a good quality of chicken manure are the florists and truck gardeners. A great many tan neries use these materials for tan ning leather. However, there are but few tanneries in the south now, and not many florists except in large cities. If you have a garden or any land at all that you can put this fertilizer on you cannot af ford to sell it, but use it yourself, as it will bring you in return great er vale through the soil by in crease yield in your crop than any other way you can use it.
