NEW OUK, May 5.—Cotton opened barely steady at a decline of 2 to S points on lower Liverpool cables, reports of g\>od rains In the southwest and favorable private crop ac- • counts. There’ was a good deal of profit tak ing by recent sellers, however, and the market rallied 2 or 3 points during the early trading. In the absence of any aggressive support, the market remained more or less unsettled. Reports that some of the Fall river mills would close down indefinitely beginning with next Monday started rather a more aggressive selling movement during the middle of the morning. Prices broke to a net loss of from eight to ten points in consequence, but the de cline attracted considerable profit-taking bv recent sellers and the market was quiet later with prices at midday about six to seven points net lower. The market rallied to within two or three points o Saturday's close at noon on covering of shorts and a firmer turn in New Orleans, but general business remained very quiet and prices Inter eased off again to a net loss of six or seven points.

HEYWARD & CLEARKS COTTON LETTER. NEW ORLEANS. May 5.—Political news over Sunday were of such composition as to make It difficult to form a judgmeit. While Montene gro consented to evacuate Scutari, there are persistent rumors of Austria and Italy trying to gain control of Albania, thereby creating a new difficulty. English consols this morning higher to 74. 13-16, but French rentes are 20 dowu to $5.22Vis. Liverpool was poor with futures five to seven down; spots six down, sales 8,000 bales. Weather developments over Sunday favorable. General rains over western half of the belt and precipitation was heavy over entire northern half of Texas and Okla homa. There was no cold weather, on the controry, temperatres were higher in the lower and mid dle sections. Indications, sire fox’ ruins to move lover several eastern states in the next three days. It will be cooler in the northwestern Quarter, but not enough tod do harm. New York wired that tile “Iron works Mills’ Borden;’ Borden, the largest at Fall River expected to go on short time at end this week and that others will follow. Our market dropped about ten points in the early trading, but ruled steady at the decline. There was no real pressure to sell. The favorable rains with prospects of needed rains in the near future in the eastern states was the principal cause of the easiness. ST. LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS (By Associated Press.)

SNOW’S GRAIN REPORT CHICAGO, May 5.—Snows’ May 1 crop report shows an abandoned winter wheat acreage of 2.9 per cent, amounting to 949,000 acres. This is the smallest abandoned acreage ever re ported and on the basis of area reported seeded last fall leaves for harvest this year 31,438,000 acres, or the second largest acreage ever grown. 1 lie average condition of the crop is reported at 90.5, a decline of about 1 point during April, mi to a lowering of condition in the Ohio valley, Michigan and California. Upon the present basis of figuring the government re port the present situation would be token as forecasting a crop of about 516,000,000 bushels. There is deficiency of both current and ac cumulated moisture in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, but up to the present time such rains as have been received have been timely and no crop damage has occurred. Spring wheat seed ing was not completed on May 1, but local agents are of the opinion that the final area wlll.be smaller than that of last year by about a million acres with the greater part of the loss in North Dakota.

I FOR one can see what a change has been brought about in eight or ten years and the pub lic spirit of the people of Atlanta and the ones who have large in vestments and are financially in terested in the future prosperity of our country should not allow this state of affairs to exist, hut should take up this work and get it started again and keep it up the same as is done in nearly every city the size of Atlanta. The state fair held at Dallas, Tex., Shreveport, La.,. Columbia, S. C., Nashviile, Tenn., Richmond, Va., Louisville, Ky., and many other eastern and western cities show that these exhibitions can be and are successfully and profitably conducted, and there is no reason why they should not be annually conducted in Atlanta. Aside from the financial welfare it is . to the country it makes peo ple work and keeps money in cir culation that no other means will be the cause of this w-ork being done. It is something the country needs and should he looked after as much so as most any other public interest that the country should take an interest in. The state fair conducted at Ma con during the past few years has brought about a big change in this city. Macon is growing by leaps and bounds. Hotel facilities have been much improved. Hundreds of other improvements have been noticeable. Many people have been attracted there by her annual fairs. It is a wise thing for Macon and a profitable investment that the people in this section saw when they landed the state fair in their community, and unless one had particularly noticed the direct benefits, it has brought to this town they would little dream of what had been accomplished and had really been brought out by the annual fairs as conducted at Macon. This state is large enough and a good annual exhibition should not only be conducted at Macon, but Atlanta and Savannah every year. They should be made permanent, and the state could not do a better work or appropriate any money that would be of more lasting benefit to the country than to adopt similar legislations to what Alabama has and have a certain amount of money set aside from each section as Alabama has to help conduct these public enterprises. Montgomery, Birmingham, Mobile, as well as every county in the state of Alabama has a stipulated state ap propriation set aside from a small per cent of the tax income to be spent or used in conducting these public exhibitions. It has worked wonders in Alabama and today Alabama is becoming undoubtedly one of the livest and most prosperous agricultural states in the entire south. If it has been a good thing for Alabama and is encouraging the agricultural inter ests of her state, there is no reason why it should not be for Georgia, if some live legislator would look into how this legislation has been brought about in Alabama and apply the same laws in Georgia the agricultural interests as well as many other lines of industry would certainly be helped in this state. We all know that our future prosperity in every line depends alto gether on the progress and success of our farming operations, and any thing that can be done to encourage or help the agricultural interest of any state it is sure to help every little town as well as the big cities to prosper. Georgia’s opportunities and advantages are not utilized as they should be from an agricultural and live . tock standpoint, and there is much room for improvement. We should not boast of and feel that our country is what it should be until we can stop some of the millions of dol lars that are brought into our state by cotton from getting away from us for food products. If we did not have the natural advantages to produce these and it could not be done it would he a different proposition, but just so long as we spend more money for food products than our staple crop brings into this state; just so long as this is continued we cannot ever hope to prosper as we should, and nothing will faring about the en couragement of diversified crops and the production of more food products, live stoclj and poultry than the annual exhibitions in the country which will bring about a rivalry that will make people work and produce these — , things that they would never think J, - , hJtir , f of doinr so now.

N-43, Rochester, N. Y. QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. P'ayetteville, Ga. My chickens seem to have a peculiar disease, similar to the sore head, but it seems to be in their eyes.1 They swell up and atter fors there and they finally close. I thought it was bursted out but later the swelling goes away leaving the matter still in the eye. I have lost one and »have three more the same way. They are White leg horns, and* I feed them good clean food and have them in a fairly close house but not as close as your houses, with the fronts open. Any information and anything you may help me out will be greatly appreciated. M. L. S. ANSWER. Your chickens have what is known as roup, and is one of the most dreaded diseases we have to contend with in the south. W T hen it once appears in a flock it will usually contaminate the entire flock unless steps are taken at once to stamp it out. » You should separate all of the affected chickens or allow’ them to stay in the quarters that they are now in. dnd take the w*ell ones to a new house or new' quarters and use some good roup cure or permanganate of potash in the drink ing water regularly and feed on whole grain, and a house to roost in that has no draughts or dampness in itfl Roup generally appears among immature late hatched birds and will effect the earlier hatched ones if not checked. It is not a good idea to breed from any birds that h^ive recently had roup as it will weaken the constitutions of the young produced from them. QUESTION: Atlanta, Ga. I read your comments daily and am very much interested in same. I wish to ask a few’ questions. I have lots of chickens—^-namely twenty “Sicilian Buttercups” di rectly from imported stock which I raised from eggs shipped a long way. Also have a flockeach of Silver Camfrines and Golden Cam- pines. I do not care to sell stock or eggs this season. What I wish to know is will there be a big de mand for them in the south? I find that they are equal to the Whit;e Leghorns as layers, and are much more easily adapted to confinement. I have over $400.00 invested there fore will appreciate your advice. I wish to *show them this fall for first time. Are many prizes offer ed in the Atlanta shows for either breed? What are the entrance fees? I also breed White Orping tons. Please answer in the At lanta Daily at your earliest con venience. • MRS. W. W. ANSWER: There was a class for Butter cups, also Silver and Golden Cam- pines at the Southern International show, and we had a ''good display of each of these. The Campines are becoming very popular. Will be glad to have you make a good display at the Southern Internation al show, which will be conducted the first week in December of this year. If you have eggs to sell by advertising them in The Journal there are a number of people in the south who would patronize you. QUESTION. Smithville, Ga. I desire information concerning a treatment of my dog. He appears, or in fact I know is wormy. Kindly furnish me with best information as just how and what *to give him. J have already dosed him with copperas, but still he has the worms and will not get fat. He is a very fine dog, about one year old and I value him very highly. Any information will be greatly appreciated. E. C. S. ANSWER. If you will give the dog Glover's Vermifuge it will relieve him of the worms quicker than anything you can give. This can be had of any first class drug store at 50 cents per bottle. QUESTION. Fitzgerald, Ga. Would you kindly tell me the best way to pick chickens without using- hot water? J. R. ANSWER. Usually the best way to pick or dress chickens is to suspend a chicken by tieing its legs together and hang its head down on a suit able pole or place mode for this purpose, and with a regular poultry killing knife the point of the blade should be trust just in the lower corner of the eye through to the brain and immediately afterwards one cut in the roof of the mouth not only sever the nerve cords but loosen the blood veins and in a few seconds the feathers can be re moved quickly, as every feather wil 1 loosen and can be removed much quicker than if they had been scalded. A chicken dresses much nicer in this way and it is so much less trouble. Nearly all ducks and chickens in large dressing estab lishments are killed in this manner. In the first place the skin is not so easily broken when chickens are dry picked, and furthermore it does not toughen or partially cook the skin on the chicken as hot w’ater will do. A chicken will keep bet ter an dwill cook much nicer and is better in every may when they are picked in this manner. A regular killing knife cap be had for fifty cents of Duhn Machinery, company, Atlanta, Ga. QUESTION. Graceville. Fla. I see some suggestions in your paper on the culture of dogs. I have a pair of bull pups, very well bred. They are two months old. They grew off fast when young. Now they are puny and eat dirt. I feed them on beef liver and scraps, boiled veg etables and sweet potatoes. Will you please advise me by return mail how I may feed and doctor my pups to get them healthy and make them quit eating dirt? Thanking you in advance for your information, I am, H. B. ANSWER, The pups should have some worm medicine, as all pups have mor,e or less worms in them. Glover’s; or Spratt’s Vermifuge will relieve them of the worms, and will stop t'hem from eating dirt when the worms WE PAY *36 WEEK tJr. PO»faT, c*T,p~-d. Yw'lTlMHl. ■luraniAL Mro. co„ o«»i.

Howell Ga., Please write me at your earliest convenience what to do to get rid of lice on chickens. Is it well to paint the roost poles with coal tar? Thanking you in advance, I am, MRS. L. A. C. ANSWER. The best way to get rid of lice is to dip your chickens in a solution of one part of water to fifty parts of Bee Dee Dip. This should be done during the middle of a warm day. Painting the roost with a thin solution of gas tar will kill mites, but does not kill lice on chickens. pass. Their appetites are abnor mal, which causes this trouble. The best thing to give pups is pearl grits (cooked the same as you would for table use), with sweet milk poured over* them while hot. Beef soup thickened with either corn meal or pearl grits is also good. I don’t think it a good idea to give beef liver or beef scraps, especially in large quantities, to* young pups. The vegetables are all right, but should have some corn bread with them, and not too greasy.

What is the cause and what is the remedy? How can one tell the male from females in guinea fowls? J. A. ANSWER. The best way to get rid of mites is to paint your roost with Gasco Spray, a product manufactured by/ the Atlanta Gas Light company; and sold at 60 cents per gallon. This will certainly kill them and run the insects off of the birds. The nests should bo painted inside with this same preparation, but plenty nest material should be put on top of it to keep from soiling the eggs. How ever, it is a th-in preparation and dries very quickly. The roost should be painted early in the morn ing so as to dry good before the birds go to roost at night, to keep from soiling them.

If you will apply a mixture of one pint of raw linseed oil and one ounce of carbolic acid to which has been added a little sulphur to the affected parts it will cure the turkey and stop her from picking her legs.
