/ THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1913. 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. 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 healthy "eond tion.—Anderson.

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. 34,766,000 ACRES COTTON PLANTED LAST YEAR (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 19.—The area planted to cotton in the United States last year and which was under cultivation at the end of June, was 669,000 acres more than the department of agri culture estimated tft Its preliminary report in July. A special investigation was made by the department and with the assistance of the census bureau’s report on the quantity of cot ton ginned, It reached the conclusion that the area planted was 34,766,000 acres instead of 34,097,000 acres, the preliminary estimate. The area picked is estimate! at 34,283,000 acres, indicating that the nr abandoned was less than 1.4 per cent. The revised figures will be used by the department In making its cotton acreage estimates this year in July. Revised estimates place the acreage yield at 190.9 pounds instead of 193.2 pounds as pre liminarily est mated. KANSAS CITY BUTTER, EGGS AND POULTRY (By Associated Press.)

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 - — ■ Yours very truly. 500 MEN 20 to 40 years old wanted at once for electric railway motormen and conductors; $60 to $100 a month; no experience necessary; fine opportunity; no strike; write Immediately for application blank.

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 GROCERIES Salt, 100-pound bags, 53c; ice cream, 95c; XXXX lake herring, 6-lb. pails, 39c; 60 lbs., half barrel, $2.50; 100 lbs., half barrel. $3.75; Tiger lump starch, 30-lb boxes, $2.75; Tiger gloss staren, 40 1-lb. packages, $1.25; Royal gloss starch, 3^c; best gloss starch, 3%c; Kin- ford’s Oswego corn starch, 6c; pickles, $3.50.

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 over 75 per cent. “THE LIMITATION OF FAMILIES” A TREATISE by PROF. DU CAN.

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. LEG SORES Cored by ANTI-FLaMMA Poultice Plaster. Stop* the ifccbinj around *orc.
