MARKET REPORTS
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. May 10.—Cotton opened steady
at n decline of 2 to 4 points % on lower Liv
erpool cables, favorable weather nad bearish
crop accounts. There did not seem to be a
great deal of cotton for sale and prices rallied
2 or 3 points from the lowest during the early
trading on scattered covering and a further
slight demand from tyade sources.
The market’s steadiness lnthe face of benr-
Jsh weather and crop reports seemed to render
shorts unensy later in the morning and cover
ing became more active. A few stop orders
were uncovered on the advance and prices at
noon were about 7 to 0 points net higher.
The demand was rather less active above 11c
for new crop positions and prices eased off 3 or
4 points from the best during the early after
noon. Liverpool* however, remained steady in
the absence of any aggressive selling.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
(By Associates Press.)
NEW ORLEANS. May 19.—Cotton futures
opened steady at a decHpe of 3 to 0 points.
Cables were not quite as good as expected and
weather 'news from the cotton region was more
favorable than otherwise although the Atlantlcs
did not get enough rain over Sunday in the
opinion of the bull side. First prices were the
lowest in the early trading. Offerings were
slender and at the end of the first half hour
of business prices were 1 to 2 points over Sat
urday’s close.
The market was quiet throughout the morn
ing session but buying on a moderate scale
was steady and the ring found it difficult to
supply the demand. Bears put out very little
spot cotton even when prices took on rather
a decided advance. The reason for this ap
peared to be the lack of adequate rains in the
Atlantlcs and reports from some parts of the
west that while the crop is doing well it is at
least two weeks late. In the trading up to
noon prices went 0 to 10 points over Saturday's
last quotations.

NEW YORK, May 19.—The map was favora
ble and the speculators inclined to sell on and
after the opening, but there was a demand from
such sources as to cause uneasiness among the
shorts which brought on a wave of short cover
ing. The best buying of the day was attributed
to the spot interests. There seems to be a
good demand for new crop under 11c in spit®
of the favorable crop conditions and the
strength of the near months is puzzling to the
bears and there is a growing belief that the
contracts are held by the spinners, who will
turn them loose, and this added to the argu
ment by many operators that there is a short
Interest 1n this market, will contribute to the

HAYWARD & CLARK’S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 19.—Liverpool came in
surprisingly poor this morning with futures
about 7 points lower than due on old crops
and 3 points lower than due on new crops.
Spots 3 points lower; sales, 0,000 bales. One
need not go far for an explanation of this
weakness. The favorable weather 'toward the
end of last week and inor particularly the very
unfavorable politival news are again causing
pessimism. "
'The latest continental advices say that Tur
key is reinforcing its l.nes of defense and bor
rowing money to carry on the war, and that
no peace treaty will be signed. Bulgaria and
Servia are on the verge of war. The Ixmdou
peace conference seems' destined to failure, as
was th last one, from the start. Undr such
conditions trade revival in Europe s more tiian
uncertain. The masses will continue to prac
tice reserve and economy and values decline.
Weather conditions over Sunday were very good.
There were further beneficial showrs Saturday
in the eastern states, followed by partly cloudy
to fair, warm weather yesterday over the en
tire beit. Northwest Texas had some good
rains Sunday. Indications are for unsettled
weather and showers in the northwestern quar
ter of tne belt, partly cloudy elsewhere, possi
bly a few isolated thunder showers.
Our market opened lower with a disappointed
feeling over the poor Liverpool and the politi
cal news, but was upheld by the strength of
July in New York, which position seems to be
used to sustain the markets. Montgomery, Ala.,
said: “All of the late planted cotton is now
coming up and the outlook is more favorable
since the general rains over the belt. The re
planted crop is a little later than normal, but
with good weathmer can recover the recent set
back. New York Juiy advanced sharply after
the close of Liverpool, causing a general rally
in prices. October here sold to 11.17 on cover
ing by disappointed*} smaller shorts.

PoMfitry, Live Stock amid Seed
T HERE are but few people who
ever enter the poultry busi
ness, the live stock business
or the raising of any crop that is
planted who ever realize the im-
• portance of care in line breeding
and mating either their birds, live
stock or seed. Any one’s future busi
ness depends absolutely on these
important details. We have before
us every day many object lessons
that bring to our memory these
facts. For instance, the wonderful
records that are ] now being made
by the different varieties of hens
in the National Egg Laying Con
test show what eareful selection
and careful breeding will do for a
variety of chickens. It would
have never been possible to secure
250 to 281 eggs per year from hens
that had not been properly mated
and bred, especially for this pur
pose. Of course it takes a lifetime
to do this work, and there hut few
of us who are willing to lay a
foundation and have patience to
work for many years to build from
this foundation when we absolute
ly know to a certainty if we will
only do this that results will surely
come and It will pay in the end.
Any one who has ever kept poultry
can readily see whav a big per cent
of profit there would be in a large
flock of hens, say several thousand
that would produce 250 eggs each
; for twelve months at the price eggs
' are' now selling at. When one
man can easily attend to 2,000 or
3,000 laying hens, with a flock of
this kind of hens he would have a
regular gold mine.
These hens can be had, but it
takes time, patience, selection, proper feeding and breeding to secure
them, and only those who have, the patience and are willing to wait for
big results in the end are the ones who will reap this reward. There are
very few of this class. However, there are some who are reaping the ben
efits of this work now that started out many years ago not only with
poultry, but with cattle, hogs, horses and seed especially. Haphazard or
slip-shod methods would have never produced the Holstein cow that now
holds a butter record of forty-two pounds of butter per week and a milk
record of fourteen gallons of milk per day. It takes brain, science, pa
tience and money to bring about such results, hut it is being done every
day. Some people enjoy doing this Fork and working to these ends and
hundreds of people get the benefit of their work, hut there are not enough
of thes who are willing to he so patient as to lay these foundations and
keep them going. So few people appreciate the time and money it takes
to do this, an'd so /few that are willing to pay the price to get some of the
benefits derived from these many years of hard wor.a
It would pay any one starting with poultry to pay $5, $10 or $20 per
sitting for a few eggs from such birds as have been bred to produce over
two hundred eggs each per year, and it is money well spent to pay $500
for a hull calf out of a cow that has milked 1,000 to 1,200 gallons of milk
in one year, and it .is certainly a good investment for any farmer to put
$10 in one bushel of corn seed that would plant six acres of a vrriety that
would make ten bushels per acre more corn than if he had used ordinary
seed. As you can readily see if you had paid $10 for this bushel of seed
which would make $9 difference in it and a bushex of ordinary seed, for
the same labor and the same land used you would easily receive in return
sixty bushels more corn than if you had planted tiu ordinary seed. This
applies to animals, poultry and seed, and the man who has the patience
to carry on this work never receives full reward for his work.
' It requires at least seven generations to build up a true type of any
thing, and after it passes over the seventh generation it will'reproduce a
large per cent like the original. Then it is usually safe and a variety of
seed or a variety of fowls can he cllled pure and depended upon after it
passes this stage, so you can readily see how long it takes to build a
foundation and to establish a fixed type. Usually line breeding will show
wonderful improvements during the second, third and fourth years, hut
the fifth and sixth years it usually has a tendency to drop back, but after
the sixth and seventh years by careful selection and careful breeding it
breaks over very fast in the opposite direction for a big improvement, and
it is no trouble after that to continue to improve very rapidly.
For instance, I know of one expert corn breeder who had spent years
building his corn to where he thought he'had the best in the world. He
secured as high as sixty-four bushels average per acre and it seemed im
possible for several years for him to get away from this amount. Science,
work and study showed him during the next three years where he could
make more than one hundred bushels average per acre and he has been
carefully increasing this amount every year and there is no telling
eventually what he will accomplish.
Ninety-nine per cent of the people who produce crops of all kinds, and
animals and fowls of all kinds have but little regard or pay but little at
tention to the breeding behind what they are starting with, and it is a big
mistake not to do so. That is where one of the heaviest losses come to
every one who is not being careful enough in this respect. We can no more
afford to go in blindly and not know exactly what we are doing than we can
afford to make foolish investments in any other lines, and if we expect to
get profits out of our feed and labor we must know where we are and what
we will receive for our work and investments, and unless we know exactly
what kind of seeds we are planting and the class of stock we are using to
breed from we can never hope to %
make a profit out of our work. , Qy - — ■

QUESTIONS ASKED
QUESTION.
Norcross, Ga.
Your pieces in The Atlanta Jour
nal have afforded us much informa
tion, but 1 would like to get some
advice from you please as to how
much food a milch cow should have,
and what you consider the best
cow feed. I have had this cow
four years. She was giving four
and one-half gallons of milk when
I bought her, but now with the sec
ond freshening since I have owned
her, she gives only about two gal
lons. Her calf is about seven weeks
old. I don’t know whether the de
crease in milk isj caused by the
amount of feed given or her age.
Is there any way by which I can
tell if she is getting along in years
or not?
I have fed her mostly on cotton
seed meal and hulls, but have used
some wheat bran, hay, chopped feed
(a mixture of alfalfa and oats.
She stays in a pasture but it has
no running water in it. She also
grazes awhile each day on Burr
clover. Kindly advise me about her
and oblige.
Last year I got some White Lang-
shang chickens for winter laying,
but they seem very backward and
lazy and didn’t lay at all until they
were about a year old. I have
noticed that I have never seen any
thing mentioned about them in ar
ticles about poultry shows. What
do you think of them ?
Thanking you in advance for a
reply to this, I am, C. B.
ANSWER.
Your case concerning the cow is
similar to many others where they
have been fed hulls and meal, con
tinually year after year. It is al
most impossible for a cow to con
tinue a normal flow of milk on this
feed after several years continued
feeding on this rich concentrated
food. Usually a cow that has been
fed continually on hulls, this feed
producing an immense amount of
fat, usually after so long a time

AND ANSWERED.
has its effect in this respect on the
milk producing capacity of the cow,
and it is doubtful if you will ever
get her back to the heavy flow of
milk until she has been allowed ta
go to pasture and on natural grass
get her system thoroughly cleansed
of these rich ’food elements. It
would really be better to sell her
to the butcher now and buy a fresh
cow.* As beef is bringing a high
price she will bring more than
enough to buy a fresh cow in or
dinary flesh and it would be money
saved to do this.
When one has a good pasture and
plenty of green food six to twelve
pounds- of cotton seed meal mixed
with four to six pounds of bran can
be fed safely to a cow each day,
also some) hulls* but if this rich feed
is kept up year after year it will
get a cow after so long a time, too
fat to taken enough food in her
system to produce a large quantity
of milk afterwards. Hulls and meal
are undoubtedly the cheapest and
best feed that can possibly be giv
en dairy cows but judgment must
be used in feeding them.
White and Black Langshans, as
a rule, are both good layers and
when properly cared for and prop
erly raised should lay well. I have
a flock of four and one-half months
old Langshan pullets that have
been laying for last four weeks

QUESTION.
Troy, Ala.—I have been reading your
interesting messages to the poultry
keepers through The Journal for some
time and each and every one of your
talks are valuable to any one con
nected with poultry farms.
Uor some time I have been expecting
you to answer for somebody a ques
tion as to what would be the best crop
to plant for chickens, and inasmuch as
no one has asked I would be very
glad to have you advise me. I have
several hundred chickens and intend
raising every particle of their feed
another year.
Thanking you In advance for your
kindness in answering my question, I
am E. T.
ANSWER.
The most profitable and best crop
that you can possibly raise to feed
your chickens with is alfalfa. More
tons per acre of this can be grown
than anything else and It is the best
feed that you can possibly grow.
Next to this corn, sorghum seed, oat
and wheat are the easiest and most
suited crops to our section. By grind
ing 60 per cent alfalfa, 15 per cent
corn, 15 per cent oats, 5 per cent scaps
and 5 per cent shorts, this will give
you the best chicken feed that you
can possibly get. It can be grown
cheaply and when people who raise
chickens learn to grow this feed for
them they can produce chickens and
eggs both at a profit.
QUESTION.
Taylorville, Ga. Will you please
give me a remedy for my turkey gob
bler? He is two years old, has fallen
off until he is poor as can be and
doesn’t seem to have any craw at all.
I can’t find it after feeding him a
handful of corn. My mother lost
one last year this same way. He had
the disease three months or more be
fore he died. This one of mine eats
hearty, but sits around on the ground
and never gobbles. Please give me
.some remedy if you can. He is of the
bronze stock and did weigh thirty-
five pounds. Write me or either an-»
swer in the Daily Journal.
MRS. J. D.
ANSWER.
A large lump of vaseline given twice
a day to your turkey and fed corn
meal dough which should have some
lard mixed with It, and give in the
drinking water some copperas. If any
thing will cure him this will. If
there are any lice on him dust him
good with insect powder and get them
off.

QUESTION.
Princeton, Fla.—Will you please tell
me what to do for my chickens? They
are completely covered with an.insect
•which acts like a chigger flea. It bur
rows into the skin and makes sores.
Can you tell me what it is?
Where can I get the Bee Dee Dip?
I have been greatly benefited by your
writings. Do you publish a book on
the diseases and care of youltry?
Thanking you for information, I am
MRS. D. E. S.

The fleas that you refer to are what
is known as Texas fleas or chiggers.
Salty grease of any kind will kill
them. Salty water will also kill them.
