Trading continued quiet with prices easing off to about yesterday’s closing under scat tered selling which may have been Inspired by reports of showers in the Cnrolinns or New Orleans wires reiterating rnln predictions. The market continued quiet during the early afternoon with price* ruling about a point or two under yesterday's closing.

HAYWARD ec CLARK’S C0±T0N LETTER. NEW ORLEANS, May 15.—Liverpool is hold ing around 6 pence for new crops, awaiting developments. Spot sales are very small; to tal 5,000 bales. A period of holidays—that market being closed tomorrow and Saturday— may affect spot business Political news is not prominent at present, but the failure of gov ernment securities to show a rapid recovery would suggest that apprehension has not yet entirely subsided. The map shows cloudy over the entire belt; cooler In the northern portion; some precipitation in Oklahoma, Arkansas, north Louisiana and east Tennessee. Indications are for unsettled and showery weather over the entire belt .with beter prospects for more general showers in the eastern half of the belt and south Texas. Temperatures are normal or above. Detailed government records show rather gen eral precipitation overnight in Oklahoma. Twelve stations out of a total of eighteen reporting an averageo f nearly one inch. The Insight for the week looks around 75,000 bales, against 95,186 bales last year. We compare with mill takings of 279,000 balees for this week last year. At Liverpool forwardings to mills this week are only 46,000 American, against 67,000 last year. An unfavorable consumption state ment is indicated for tomorrow. So far today advices of rain have come from Pinebluff, Lit tle Rock, Spartanburg and Greenville, S. C. The market is quiet around 1.10 for October. Buying of new crops by Europe was again quite prominent this morning and held up the scales against selling on good crop reports and fa vorable weather reports. It Is essentially a waiting market. NEW YORK COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, May 15.—Tne market has been very narrow with trading restricted almost entirely to local operations. Wall street was said to be selling some cotton on reported rains In eastern belt and Liverpool was said to be a buyer in this market. Every one seems to be awaiting further developments before going Into the market to any extent and theu with Liverpool closed tomorrow and next day, we will probably have a quiet market for re mainder of week, but tendency seems to be downward as sentiment continues bearish and a good many operators waiting for some ex cuse to sell ns they believe tne market too high In the face of present conditons.—An derson.

The English pen of White Leghorns is still malting a steady gain. Some suggestions as to why the English pen is in the lead. It now begins to look like most of the pens in the National Laying Contest at Mountain Grove. Mo., are going to make really creditable records. No records are being broken. However, every hen in the contest but nine has laid, and they all seem to be doing their best- No individual or pen record is extremely high, but up to May first, the hens had averaged fifteen eggs each more than for the same period last year. The English pen is still gaining a little each month over the American pens. Some suggestions as to the reason for their record and their lead over the American pens are discussed in the latter part of this report. A Buff Wyandotte hen, No. 600, from Mary ville, Mo., holds the record for April by laying an egg every day during the month. The hens are eating more feed than last year, es pecially is this true of the dry mash. Pen No. 26, Buff Wyandotte, laid 240 eggs during the month, an average of twenty-four eggs per hen for the thirty days, and won the sil ver cup for this month. Twenty- four pens laid over 200 eggs each during the month of April- Three hundred and sixty-seven hens laid more than twenty eggs each dur ing the month. Out of the 700 hens, over half of them laid more thar twenty eggs each in thirty days in spite of the fact that 195 hens had to be broken from broodiness. The ten leading pens have made the following record for the hrst five and a half months: Pen No. ?—S. C. White Lehorns, England 1,117 eggs Pen No. 23—Silver Wyandottes, Illionis 948 eggs Pen No. 57—Black Langshans, Missoupi 914 eggs Pen No. 57:—Silver Wyandottes.

QUESTION. My chickens have roup. Will you please give me a remedy for it and something to prevent it? Also give me a cure for sorehead. They had it last fall and I am afraid they will have it again this year. Is there anything to prevent them from having sorehead? If r so, please give me a preventive and also a remedy if they should take it. R. L. C. East Point, Ga. ANSWER. At least a dozen times I have giv en remedies for sorehead and roup through The Journal. You should cut out and save these articles. Roup is a dreadful disease, and should be taken in time. The free use of antiseptics in the drinking water will usually keep it from spreading through the flock, if tak en in time. An abundance of good rich food such as wheat, oats and scratch feed fed -freely to your chickens will give them strength enough to throw off an ordinary case of cold, and when their sleep ing quarters are comfortable and free from draughts and they are not crowded you are not likely to have roup. When you once get it it is best to separate the well chickens from the sick ones, remove them Ao a clean fresh place and begin build ing up their system at once by us ing either of the roup remedies that are advertised by the seed dealers through the columns of The Jour nal. They will help largely to cure the sick birds. Sorehead is easily prevented if you will start in June and feed to each dozen or fifteen frying size chick ens once a week one tablespoonful of Epsom salts mixed with soft feed, and once a w’eek one table spoonful of sulphur mixed with soft feed. Continue this until’ after frost or cold weather has come, and you are not likely to be bothered with sorehead. It will not do to neglect feeding this regularly except during damp weather, when the sulphur should be omitted. Of course, a person should use judgment in feed ing these preparations. Sometimes they will act too freely on a chick en. You can weaken their system and get them in such a shape that they will be subject to disease. Therefore, you must use judgment in this respect. Roup always follows sorehead, and by treating your chickens prop erly you can prevent both. green food, and they should be al lowed to have their liberty, so that they can get bugs and worms. They will almost make a living for themselves now with one good feed per day of either whole or cracked wheat, with a little cracked rice added. QUESTION. Fairburn, Ga. I very carefully cut out your directions for caring for young turkeys, but in some way they have been misplaced. Would 'you kindly send me these? I have twenty-five young tur keys, the oldest ten days old, and am at a loss to know how to feed them now. So far have used the boiled custard, then the curd, boiled eggs and meal, also oat meal, and they have done to per fection. Now I suppose they should have a change of food. Thanking you for the favor, I am MRS. W. T. R. ANSWER. It would be impossible for me to find these instructions, as I do not keep copies of them. You have brought your turkeys up right to this stage, and the feed should be changed now to cracked cracked rice with plenty QUESTION. Ac worth, Ga.—Is there any way of keeping eggs or preserving them for better prices? If there Is any thing that will keep them fresh, what is it, and where can you get it, and at what price? J. P. W. ANSWER. The best way to keep or preserve eggs is by the use of what is known as water glass. This preserving fluid can be had of most any drug gist or from Jacobs’ pharmacy, At lanta, Ga. By using five parts of water glass to ninety-five parts of boiled or distilled water, eggs can be kept for years perfectly sound in this preparation. Of course, you should be particular and use noth ing but clean eggs and those that you know positively are fresh. This can be used in barrels, kegs or stone jars. A covering should be used on totp so as to keep the eggs down under the fluid. Of course, these eggs cannot be sold as fresh eggs after they are removed, as it is against the pure food law, but for home use are Just as good, especially when used as needed, and could be sold to con sumers by letting them know that they were preserved eggs. After these eggs have been removed from the fluid, if they are washed in clean water and then dipped in a weak solution of limp water, it gives them a nice color and they look very attractive. It is a splen did idea for individual families to put axvay a supply* when eggs are plentiful and keep a sufficient quan tity to carry them through the win ter months. The saving of 10c to 25c per dozen on a few hundred dozei* eggs each year amounts to considerable money and when a large family use a quantity of eggs this method can be practiced with much profit. QUESTION. Can you put me in touch with a sanitarium where I might dispose of several dozen strictl yfresh eggs each week? We are In straightened circumstances, and I have four children and would like to do some thing to help things along. Thanking you In advance, I am, MRS. M. R. HALL. ANSWER. If you had given me your post- office address I could have put you In touch with some one who could use your eggs. This is a big mis take that many people make, not even giving their names or postoffice address in many instances. I an swer most inquiries personally, and a quick reply can often be had if people who ask for information would simply do this If you will write to either of the sanitariums in Atlanta and can guarantee to deliver a given number of eggs each week most of them vfould be only too glad to make a contract with you at 30 to 35 cents per dozen the year round, but do not contract for more eggs than xou can aupply .
