MARKET REPORTS
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, May 29.—Cotton opened barely
steady at a decline of 18 points on May and
from 4 to 11 points net lower on later months.
Trading was active and the market seemed to *h»
more or less excite*} owing to a renewal of
old crop liquidation and heavy selling of the
new crop positions. There was active covering
around the opening prices am* fluctuations were
more or less irregular. A report published by
a trade paper placed the condition of the
crop at $0.o and estimated an increase of 4.8 per
cent in acreage. New crop positions were rela
tively steady on buying by old cron sellers.
After showing a net loss of about 12_ to 11)
points on old crop positions and of 5 to 6
points on later deliveries, prices rallied 3 or 4
points and the market at midday was fairly
steady. A few additional May and June no
tices were issued and doubtless contributed to
the early weakness.
The market was less active during the earl:
afternoon and prices ruled 4 or 5 points up
from the lowest with the new crop only 2 or 3
points under last night's closing figures as a
result of covering for over the holidays.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, May 29.—Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 4 to 7 points on
poo cable* and a favorable weather map. A
private buroa condition report of 84.6 per cent
also had some effect. Private cable mesages
from Liverpool stated that pessimistic feeling
was growing on the political outlook and on
threatened .labor troubles among the cotton
mills. The* forecast of continued fair weather
iu the belt was favorable. The market was
quiet and steady in the early trading in spite
of the great amount of bearish gossip and at
the end of the first half hour of business prices
were 5 to S points under yesteday’s close.
The market was flooded with bearish crop
Recounts during the market, the gist of which
was that seed was coming up fast, plants were
making fast growth and that great progress
was being made with cleaning and working in
the fields. This led to fresh shor tselllng In
only moderate volume as bears were more in
clined to even up over the double and triple hol
idays in the American markets than to enter
into new trades. Toward the middle of the
morning prices were (1 to 9 points under yester
day's close: later the decline was lessened to 3
points: at noon the market was quiet and steady
at a net decline of 5 points.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, May 29.—There have been sev
eral influences against the market today, oue
of which was liquidation of old crop, then Miss
Giles’ report showing condition of 84.6 vs. 80.8
last year and Increase in acreage of 3.7 and the
average guess of 95 members of New York
cotton exchange making condition 83.1 The only
condition issued that was encouraging to the
bulls was the Journal of Commerce which was
80.5. There was a pressure to sell from all
sides but* under the circumstances the market
took all offerings well. There' were cables that
there would probably be a lockout in northern
Lancashire which if true would be a bearish
feature, added to the continued favorable weath
er and crop reports which ure flattering. It is
believed that should the government report
show above 83 that the market will be sold.—

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 29.—With May drawing
to a close near positions and spots are weak
ening, showing plainly that professional support
au\l operations have alone held up prices. Liver
pool this morning is 6 to 8 points down on old
crops against 1 point lower due and 3 points
down on new*, against 1 to two points lower due.
Spot 9 points lower; sales, 8,000 bales. Politi
cal news is bad. It is feared that a general
war will break out in the Balkans. A Liverpool
cable again made strong reference to the proba
bility of labor troubles In Lancashire. Con
sols %c lower.
The Journal of Commerce gives the increase
In acreage at 4.8 per cent and condition on
May 20 at 80.5. These percentifge figures are
not complete owing to late planting in the
Carolines.
Miss Giles gives condition 84.6; increase in
acreage 3.7 per cent; amount of land still to
be planted, 9 per cent. Weather conditions con
tinue very good; fair and warmer weather
over the entire belt; no rain except in the
Carolina coast districts and fair and continued
warm weather is indicated for the entire belt.
Our market opened 30 points down on May,
7 points down on July and 3 points on new
crops. Support to new crops in New York check
ed selling pressure, but feeling is against the
market. New York says that the strong sup
port to new crops yesterday came from a Cin
cinnati operator. Between 6,000 and 8,000
tenders on May were made here this morning.
The into sight for the week looks around 00,-
000. against 65,064 last year. We compare with
mill takings of 189,000 for this week last year.
They were small then owing to holidays, and,
therefore, favorable comparisons are probable.
After this week, however/ to the end of the
season consumption statistics have every prospect
of comparing very unfavorably with those of
last year; the contract market settled around
11.17 for October with trading very quiet.
Some further covering in New York before the
holidays caused steadiness.

JOURNAL OF COMMERCE
REPORTS CONDITION 80.5
This Compares With 76,9 Last
Year and 79 Ten-Year Aver
age-Acreage Increase 4,8
NEW YORK, May 29.—The cotton acreage
for the season of 1913, ns determined by 1.907
special correspondents of the Journal of Com
merce, shows an Increase of 4.S per cent over
last 3’enr, based upon the revised estimate of
the government of 34,766,000 acres for 1912.
The area planted for 1913 would bo 36,435,000
acres. Percentage condition of an average date
of May 20 is 80.5, as compared with 76.9 a
year ago and 79 for the ten-year average. In
1911 the percentage condition was 83.8. Figures
for North and South Carolina are incomplete,
owing to late planting and to the fact that a
large proportion of the cotton is not yet up.

Pomiltry on the Farm
D URING the past two years the
average farmer has paid
more attention to their
poultry than ever before, but not
half as much attention is paid to
poultry on the average farm as
should be. The per cent of rev
enue that can be derived from the
poultry output of the average farm
is something that is too much neg
lected and overlooked, an* it. is
largely because these matters have
never been explained to the farm
ers or they show a way by which
they could produce a splendid flock
of fowls and derive revenue from
them every day in the year.
There is not a farm in Georgia
of fifty or one hundred acres hut
should have their flock of not less
than two hundred to five hundred
hens. They could be kept in one
comfortable building that would
not cost much,’ and if they were
properly cared for they could bring
in a revenue from $50 to $75 each
month during the entire year for
eggs alone. When sufficient food is
produce, on the average farm of
* the country this will be done, and
I suppose not until then will we
ever see the farms of the south
stocked with poultry and live stock.
If every farmer in Georgia had
from two to2fifteen acres of alfalfa
they would not hesitate to keep
from two hundred to five hundred
laying hens as they can be fed al
most exclusively off of a few acres
of alfalfa, and such results as can
not be obtained by any other feed
can be had if a sufficient auantity
of this food is grown on the av»"
age farm. Every farmer should
make it a rule to sell from $50 to $100 worth of eggs from his place every
month, and if this was done they would not have to be so dependent on
planting a large crop of cotton. One of the great drawbacks now with
the average farm is that they do not have a daily income to bring cash
every day and too much dependence on the one crop cotton to buy the
average supplies is what has kept the southern farmer in debt.
In traveling over the country we see but few chickens compared to
what ought to be on the average farm, and as I have said before, one of
the reasons for this is the scarcity of food. The food proposition has
kept the poultry and live stock industry down more than any otner one
thing connected with this work, and just so long as we depend on the
west for our feed we will always have a short poultry supply in this
country and each year will find an increase of debts hanging over the
farmers’ heads the same as this year has brought about. It is certainly
an outrage that this country should- buy $37,000,000 more food supplies
than our monied crop cotton brings revenue to pay for. How long will
we sontinue to keep up this state of affairs? Poultry and live stock could
so easily change matters. It must come sooner or later, and the armer
wha starts even in a small way will almost before he knows it find himself
independent and having a revenue at the end of the year that they do
not have now.
In many sections of the country where interest and enthusiasm is
continually kept up with the poultry work there is a steady stream of
money brought into this section every day from the larg* eastern cities
and in every one o'f these sections prosperity and happiness can be found.
Just so long as there is a daily market with cash on hand to pay for such
products that can be produced at such a profitable price it is surprising
that more of this work is not done than is. This state could not spend
any money more profitably than to have fifty to one hundred poultry ex
perts at work continually in every county showing the people how to con
struct comfortable and cheap poultry houses, telling them how to raise
their poultry food cheaply and produce both eggs and fowls that would be
worth millions of dollors to Georgia and I do not belieye any money could
he spent more profitably. Let the
state put out a lot of poultry experts
and see how soon things will change.
Yours very truly,
QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
QUESTION.
Tuscaloosa, Ala.
I am a constant reader of your
interesting; articles in The Journal
and I wish to ask you a few ques
tions about Indian Runner ducks.
1. Is it true that when one gets
“broody” and wants to set, that she
must be very old?
2. Are eggs that have been
tested out of an incubator and found
infertile, yet not decomposed, good
to.add to the mash for laying ducks?
If so, to what extent, if any, will
they take the place of meat scraps?
3. Is a very slight tint of green
in the black of the penciled drake
a sure sign of impurity of the
breed?
4. Will a drake whose mother
laid an egg of slightly greenish tint
be very apt to produce offspring
who will lay the same colored egg
if mated to ducks which lay pure
white eggs?
5. Does the "depluming mite”
ever attack either young or old
ducks? I have one or two grown
ducks that have been bald on neck
and head for four or live months,
and some five weeks old that have
hare spots. They have no lice on
them that are visible.
I will greatly appreciate this in
formation and thank you.
W. Li. D.
ANSWER.
The cause of the duck setting has
nothing whatever to do with her
age. Often a young duck will set.
They usually make good mothers
when they wish to set and I usually
let them do so.
Infertile eggs are all right to boil
and use with a mash for the ducks.
They take place of animal food or
meat scraps.
The gfeen in the bill of the drake
is no indication of impurity. In
fact, many of them have this and
it is admissible.
It is most likely a large per cent
of the offspring from the white egg
ducks and the one-half white egg
drake would be mostly white.
However, there will always be more
or less doubt about the eggs.
The trouble with the feathers
coming off of your ducks is not
from depluming mites. The drakes
have caused the feathers to come
off of the ducks. You will not find
this the case with the drakes. Your
ducks should be dipped, all of them,
in a solution of some of the dips
advertised in The Journal. This will
kill all of the insects and should
be done at this time of the year.
The young ducks not getting enough
meat feather slowly: add more meat
and feathers will come.
I am enclosing you my little book
on ducks, which I hope will give
you some information.
QUESTION.
Tuscaloosa, Ala.
I am a boy trying to raise chick
ens. I am losing so many. They
begin dying at about a week old.
T lose fully half I hatch. I use
an incubator and home-made brood
er. I use jugs of hot water to
warm them. The chicks do not
come in direct contact with jug.
I keep about thirty chicks in each
brooder, i keep brooder clean,
with sand and litter and keep
drinking ..vessels clean, use a few
drops of carbolic acid in drinking
water every few days. They con
tinue dying until several weeks
old. I keep littl e chicks dry. Aft
er they are two weeks old I set
brooder in open shed but keep in
warm room until then. I turn
chicks out iiL-a^ggretable garden after
it gets waritTTn the morning if it
is not damp and cold. I feed Pu
rina chick feed and some scraps
from table; a little animal food. I
feed one reed each day for first
ten d .ys of hard boiled eggs. The
temperature of incubator ran up
one day to 108. Would that have
caused me to lose so many? The
eggs hatched very well. B. B.
ANSWER.
. Just so long as you use hard
boiled eggs and bread to feed your
little chicks with you can expect
more or less trouble. ‘Little
chicks should have nothing the first
week -r *en days but the ordinary
.scratch feed. After they pass this
stage they get tired of one feed.
Therefore a change should be given
them. Aunt Patsy, Park & Pol
lard, Cereha, Red Comb or most
any of the other mash feeds that
are sold by the average dealers
should be kept constantly before
the little chicks in a pan with a
wire over it so that th£y cannot
waste it, but they should continue
to have tne scratch feed every two
or th”ee hours just what they will
eat up clean.
It is not a good idea to let brood
er chickens out on the ground un
til they have feathered which is
usually four to five weeks old. It
is best to keep them up until after
they pass this stage. Chickens
raised with hens, it is a different
proposition. Stop feeding boiled
eggs and vegetables an<l you will be
able to raise your chickens. It is
not necessary to use carbolic acid
in water.
, * QUESTION.
Cullman, Ala.
You will please tell me what is
the trouble with my roosters. I
have three Plymouth Rock roosters;
all have a disease that is taking the
feathers off in spots, leaving the
skin almost as red as blood. They
seem to be in perfect condition ex
cept this trouble. Please tell me
what is the trouble and what to do
for them. a. M.
ANSWER.
You are evidently feeding too much
corn .to your chickens. They do
not get a variety of feed. It has
caosed something similar to pel
lagra or a skin disease among them.
You should change their feed and
not give any corn at all until they
are well. Boiled oats or wheat Is
just as cheap and rar better. Your
chickens should be dipped in a solu
tion of some of the dips as adver
tised in The Journal, every three
weeks until they are well.
QUESTION.
Atlanta, Ga.
Will you kindly publish this an
swer in The Journal.
I ‘ have a Buff Orpington rooster,
and he has the blind staggers, I
think. He will try to walk and
falls over on his right side and
can’t get up. His side seems to be
paralyzed and he has no control
over his body.
Thanking you for all favors and
wishing you success, I am,
A. H. B.
ANSWER.
When a bird gets in the fix yours
is in the best remedy for him is the
hatchet. It does not pay to doctor
sick birds and when they become
paralyzed they seldom ever recover
from it.

QUESTION:
Cedartown G,a.
As I am a reader of your poultry
department 1 come to you for in
formation. My little chickens for
the last three years take something
like gaps at about three weeks
old. I have done everything I
know of to do. Have given them
Conkyy’s Roup Cure, liver medicine,
salts, carbolic acid in water, and
other things too numerous to men
tion. I have twenty-four little
chickens now, and I see one Just
gaping for breath. I also have a
turkey that has something the mat
ter with her throat. You can hear
a rattling in her throat and she al
most chokes to death with phlegm
in he r throat.
I feed corn, oats and corn meal.
My chickens are not confined. They
go about the lot and have plenty
of range. I live in the country.
Please tell me through The Jour
nal what to do for them.
MRS. E. F. S.
ANSWER;
Your chickens evidently have
gaps, and the gap-worms are in
the ground where your chickens in
habit. If they 'are fed Conkey’s
Gap Cure, with their soft feed as
instructed on the package it will
relieve them, but it is best to re
move them to a fresh clean place,
especially the young ones, and
sprinkle plenty lime over the prem
ises where they <£pt, and hereafter
feed either in u 9 trough or on a
plank where they cannot pick up the
gap worm eggs. Turpentine mixed
with soft feed is also good for
this trouble. Carbolated vaseline
given in bad cases will relieve ana
help them. The turkey especial
ly should be given vaseline. «
