THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA, TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1913. 7 MARKET REPORTS Atlanta Markets (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. May 26.—Cotton opened steady at a decline of 3 to 9 points nml sold 8 to 11 points net lower right after the call on dis appointing cables, a favorable view of tbe weather map aud encouraging private crop ac counts. The outlook was for clear and season able conditions in the belt, and selling was quite active at the start. Offerings were well enough taken to give the market a fairly -steady undertone at the decline, liowver, and subse quent fluctuations were more or less irregular. Prices gradually eased of to a net loss of 13 to 14 points during the middle of the morn ing. Sufficient demand appeared around $11.07 for October to check the downward movement. Trading became less active later and the mar ket at noon was two to three points up from the lowest on covering by early sellers and scattering trade demand. Cotton spot closed quiet, middling uplands 12.00: do gulf. 12.23. Sales 400 bales. The market was quiet during the early after noon. but -eld steady and abor.r 0 to 10 points net lower or a shade up from the lowest. The big Galveston exports attracted some attentiou. The estimate for tomorow's receipts^ at New Orleans was supposed to foreshadow 'Tdcreased shipmenrs from there.

NEW ORLEANS. May 26.—Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of 4 to 6 points on poor cables and favorable weather, the map showing fair and warm weather over the entire cotton region. The support that was so con spicuous last week was Jiot in evidence in the early trading and shorts offered considerable cotton which the ring did not take any too well. » The forecast of continued fair weather for the greater part of the belt was considered very favorable. At tbe end of the first half hour of business prices were 8 points under Satur day’s close. Throughout the morning the market received many telegrams and letters from nearly all sec tions of the belt, representing weather condi tion as being almost perfect. These and rath‘- er high private crop reporting bureau ?guree on conditio* had the effect of causing the trade to entertain more bearish influences than last week concerning the pending government report on condition. While short selling was by no means heavy there was very little fresh buying for long account and the market gradually worked lower, standing at noon at a decline of 11 to 13 points.

Planting was then very incom plete, but with the crop now practically all in, estimates of increase have about doubled. Per centage condition is approximately ten points better than a year ago at this time, when it was 70.6 pjer cent. Weather has been unus ually cool, causing sed to geminate slowly and making the crop ten days to two weeks laic*. Considerable replanting aud making the cfop Consilerable replanting has been ecessary and stands are spotted. Good rains have bright ened prospects In a number of sections, and in the overflowed sections planting is not yet completed. Fields are clean, but the boll weevil has already made its appearance in seevral districts. Arkansas: Acreage estimates exceed those of a month ago, when they pointed to an in crease of 4.3 per cent. The percentage condi tion points to a '.much higher average than a year ago at this time, when it was 72.3, while a number of sections are favorable to ten days late, on account of cool nights, as many other equally early; so that the season averages about normal. Stands are generally good and fields are well cultivated. Some replanting has been necessary, and cut worms are reported in a few sections. Louisiana: Acreage increase in many in stances are very large, owing in some cases to a lessening of fear of boll weevil and in others to the flooded districts of last season being put in cotton again. As a result present esti mates show a slight increase over last month, when correspondents made it 20 per cent above last year. Percentage condition is several points better than a year ago, when it was 71 - per cent. Cool weather caused the crop to be about ten flays late and some replanting, but cotton is now generally doing well. ^Quotations based on actual purchases during current week.

Liverpool came in very poor on futures, about 4 points lower than due on new crops, but shows larger sales; total 10,200 bales, at 2 points lower quotations. The market weakened materially in the last hour, closing 8 to 9 points lower. The weather map this morning shows very favorable condi tions. Fair over nearly the entire belt: much warmer. Minimum temperatures normal ex cept in the Uarolinas and- east Tennessee: no rain. Indications are for partly elomly to fair; warmer except in the northwestern quarter, where it will be somewhat cooler; probably s.ome scattered showers in the northern part of the bglt and the south Atlantics. Political nedws is unfavorable. Italy has been forced to resume military operations in Tripoli, increasing the financial burden of the country and injuring trade. Our market worked lower today under the Influence of good crop reports, but particularly on the dry and warmer weather over the belt, which Is much needed. Tailing in now crops settled around 11.20 for October: Tomorrow’s weekly weather report is expected to be mixed in character owing to the recent cool spell. The report of the Journal of Commerce tomor row on the western states is expected favor able and unless weather interfere the disposi tion to look ‘for a bureau 3 to 5 points higher thah.last year should manifest itself in a ten dency to ease. COMMERCIAL APPEAL’S CROP REPORT. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 26.—Commercial-Ap peal says: Acreage increase 3 per cent; con dition 2.9. The crop is earlier than last year in all states except Texas ana in the eastern section of the belt, where dry weather has changed an early start to a late one.. In entire belt the land Is in almost perfect state of, cul tivation, and fields are universally clean. Plant generally healthy and vigorous, principal draw back is In way of imperfect stands which fann ers are striving to remedy by replanting. The general condition is lowered materially by the low figures in Alabama, Georgia and the'Gar- olinas, where dry weather has prevented ger mination of seed and caused very poor stands. Rains inadequate in that section. By states: Texas, acreage increased 5.3, con dition 8Oklahoma Increased 7 per cent, 93; Louisiana increased 20 per cent, 90: Arkansas increased 4, 90; Tennessee increased 6, 90; Mis sissippi increased 3, 88; Alabama increased 3, 78; Georgia decrease 4. 72; South Carolina un changed, 74; North Carolina increased 2; 76.

NEW YORK, May 26.—Ther ewas a disposi tion on the part of ring to sell on and after the call on favorable map and reports from Cordill and Habersham King on conditions, which were favcfrable. Liverpool was said to be a good seller of July in this market and the buying was local and looked to be from com mission houses. Several of the local operators have been constantly supporting, which buying is thught to be for Wall street. While Liverpool sold the old crop they are thought to be buying the new. The market is being evened up to a great extent pending the coming reports and until those reports are out of the way we may expect a narrow market. However, the general feeling is that the market should be sold on rallies awaiting these reports.—Anderson. SUGAR, PETROLEUM, HIDES AND LEATHER (By Associated Press.)

The Dairy industry T HIS industry, like many oth ers, now amounts to many thousands and probably mil lions of dollars to Georgia. How ever, it is looked upon as a little insignificant item and there are but few people who realize what it is worth to this state, or take into cosideration for a moment the many disadvantages that those who are making a living out of it and who have worked it up to a point it now is have had to strug gle under to make out of it what we are now doing. It is a fact that probably not more than five per cent of the people who desire to undertake this business have capital enough to even build a de cent barn, let alone buy the right kind of cattle to put in it. With all of these disadvantages facing us this business has grown by leaps and bounds, and scarcely a single person who is working on these lines today but that is mak ing money out of it. It shows conclusively that a big per cent of profit can / be made out of this work, and* it will help everyone who undertakes it and they can soon be on the safe road to pros perity if they will stick to it and post themselves more thoroughly on the things that will help them. On the other hand people who have capital have one-hundred times more opportunities to make money out of this work than those who haven't sufficient means to start right. For instance, when a bank or a factory is organized the first thing that is done a sufficient amount of money is raised to carry on and conduct this business, and as the business grows more stock is sold and it is increased and sufficient capital secured to handle any amount of busi ness that,usually comes. And, with the closest and most careful business methods used there are but few of these Industries who ever declare or pay more than an 8 per cent dividend on the capital invested land the stock-holders are usually more than satisfied. Now there is scarcely a dairy or a farm that is operated under the most adverse circumstances, the very highest per cent of interest paid and practically no capital to operate on but that are paying any where from five to one-hundred times a larger per cent of profit on the amount invested than many banks or public corporations, and this is proof sufficient to show anyone that if the people of this country who have a desire to do this work could secure or would he furnished sufficient capital to operate on they certainly could make a handsome per cent of profit for themselves and those who fur nish the capital, and In addition help build up the country wonderfully as well as produce something to feed the nation on that would probably reduce the cost of living. I know of two business men who have kept track of their dairy busi ness the same as they would other lines of industry. Both of these men are interested in a bank, also in manufacturing enterprises. Both have told me that their daries or herds of cattle had paid them an average of over 25 per cent on the investment, when th- banks and manufacturing en terprises that they were interested in were doing well if they paid one- third of this amount. How many people stop to think about these things, and especially men with capital who could afford to take up this line of work? Scarcely one in one hundred. How can we help but see the high cost of living and the scarcity of food products with more force every day when such a state of affairs exists, and the poor fellow who is pro ducing these things and trying to feed the nation is compelled to work with practically no capital year in and year out and under the most dis advantages it is possible to throw around a man. Even with all these things the interest is fast growing and if there was not a big per cent of porfit in it the people who are now interested could not possibly exist. I am glad to say most of them are keeping their heads above water and are being recognized more than ever. They deserve it and even better than they are getting, and if those who have the capital would become more interested and would help the ones who are willing to do the work many of them would find the dairy industry a far more profitable way of in vesting their money than in many hanks and factories. ^ — ... - Yours very truly, WANTED HELP—MALE $75.00 MONTH paid railway mail clerks.

I also have a pair of puppies that I am afraid will take it. Please tell me how to prevent them from taking it. I was thinking of trying stock dip. Thanking you in advance, I am C. P. R. Borden Springs, Ala. ANSWER. The best thing to cure mange on a dog is to use raw linseed oil, one pint, to which has been added one oun/^e of pure carbolic acid. If the dog is thoroughly greased with this and kept on a plank floor out of the dirt for a few days, usually one application will cure him, and it will keep the pups from having it if they are greased also. How ever, it should not be so strong for the pups as the pld dogs, and a smaller amount of carboljc acid or a little more oil added to that which is already made up for the pups will be best. If this work is thor oughly jlono it will cure the worse case of mange. QUESTION. A Rome, Ga. Will you kindly answer through your space in The Journal the folf lowing questions: 1. Is there any difference in the quantity of cream in the same gal lon of milk, if the milk is placed in pans say two inches deep or in the churn say eightene inches deep and six inches in diameter, milk sets twenty-four hours? 2. If any difference, what? ANSWER. There is no difference in the quan tity of cream from a given amount of milk regardless of where it is placed. If placed either in a pan or in a small vessel six to twelve inches deep the amount would re main the* same. The only difference probably that would affect your case would be that in skimming the cream you would be most likely to get more of the watery part of the milk mixed with the cream if removed from a large opening rather than a small one, but the amount of cream would remain the same in any event. When cream is placed in pans usually it can be skimmed or rolled more easily than if placed in a deep vessel, and when a person sells cream or uses it and has not a sep arator it is better to keep the milk in pans rather than a Jar or churn. only the best, and if confined in a yard of this size with a cheap ordina ry shed facing south and open on the south” side, with north, east and west sides closed, these chickens will do, well in' a house of this kind in your climate. It should be high enough so as to be cool in the summer un less yoij have plenty shade. The ordinary scratch feed as sold by most seed dealers should be fed in the morning in a deep litter or scratching place so as to make them take exercise for it, and either of the commercial mash feeds as advertised in The Journal should be kept before them constantly at all times in a self feeding hopper. They should have just what they will eat up clean of the scratch feed and they will usually know what amount of the dry feed to consume if kept before them at all time?. In addition to this they should have plenty oyster shell, grit, charcoal and green food regular. If treated in this way and kept free from Insects they will do w’ell for you. fiatraat««d SO !•»« „,■■■■! 11 ■ ■ IJf MU MI IT YOU WILL BUY IT.

I have thirty hens and one robster that are all a mixed breed and they have become so troublesome to the farm that we find it necessary to confine them and as we never have had to care for chickens that way we come to you for help. Please give me just as small a plan for runs as possible to do well and what varieties of feeds and how much to feed at each meal and how often. We can not afford to do much yet awhile so ask for small plans. C. S. ANSWER. You will find It far more profitable and much better to keep your chick ens confined than to give them liber ty. They carf be kept under control, kept healthier and usually you can get better results when they are kept in a goo^ poultry yard and fed a variety of food. A yard 20 feet by 50 feet is large eough for thirty hens. Kill off tl^e oldest and sorriest of them and keep QUESTION. Atlanta, Ga. 1 find I have a Rhode Island Red hen now laying that opens her mouth and shakes her head as If she was strangling or probably trying to force some object up, and also have two Rhode Island Red hens that have a little water run ning from one eye. Would you kindly advise me what to do for them? M. B. ANSWER. Some time when chickens are confined they form a habit of shak ing their head, especially after drinking water. They often get their wattles wet while drinking and undertake to shake the water off. This especially is the case during winter. I have often no ticed chickens that do not have plenty exercise and muc^ to do form a habit of this. It does not affect them and you should not give yourself any uneasiness about it. However, your hen may have been choked or she may have a case of roup. It would be impos sible for me to tell just what the trouble is unless I could see her. Vaseline for any throat trouble is usually the best thing that can be given. Sometimes they will get something in their throat and It will become irritated, and in a case of this kind a treatment of vase line is the best thing that can be given. The hens that have water run ning from their eyes probably have roup, as it affects them this way. By the free use of Conkey’s Roupe remedies this can be, avoided or cured if taken in time. You should also see that they do, not roost in a draught or in a damp place. Marvel £?£ Fish Hooks land every fish that tries to take the bait. Write for free hooks to help introduce.

Dept., W Peoria, 111. right time is to harvest the crop and how often it should be har vested, also please tell me what to fertilize with and when it should be done, as I would like to keep It growing, as I believe it to be a very profitable thing? Will appreciate ! any information you can give me. W. R. S. Cedartown, Ga. ANSWER. The proper time to cut alfalfa is when it shows a new growth at the crowns about two or three inches . high. When a nice new .growth has appeared the top crop is ready to come off. * Alfalfa should be harrowed twice a year, once after the second cut ting and once after the last cutting. A disk standing harrow with the disk set up almost straight will an- ffiyer the purpose, or a regular al falfa harrow such as is made by The B. F. Avery people is the proper implement for doing this work. It pays to broadcast a coating of Tennessee phosphate rock or well cured acid phosphate, about 600 to 1,000 pounds per acre once a year. This should be done in the fall after the last cutting. After alfalfa is two years old a heavy coating of manure can be broadcast in the fall. You will find it very profitable and nothing you can plant vdU pay you better. OLD SORES Since 1869 ALLEN’S ULCERINE SALVE has healed more old sores than all other salves com bined.
