(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Dee. 24.—Cotton opened firm
at an advance of 3 to 10 points today on
higher "Liverpool cables. There was considerable
realizing by recent buyers for a reaction, but
offerings weer absorbed by continued covering
and the market was 6teady during the early
trading with active months ruling about 6 to
7 points net higher. Houses with Liverpool
connections bought January and March, but
were sellers of May. Private cables reported
a small market abroad with very little hedge
selling and some covering for over the holi
days.
The early advance carried prices about 10 to
13 points net higher with January cotton selling
36 points above Monday’s low level. Trading
became less active after the close of Liverpool,
but prices held steady, ruling within 2 or 3
points of the best around midday.
Realizing for over the holiday gave the mar
ket an easier turn during the early afternoon
and prices sold off to a net loss of five to
six points in tb e absence of support,

? :■ e "itaS 1
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.—Cotton futres
opened steady at a rise of two to five points
on good cables. Moderate buying was In evi
dence In tbe early trading and contracts met by
only scanty offerings with the result that prices
showed a tendency to work higher.
Reports from the interior were that spots were
not following the decline in futures and that,
spot holders wer e firm. In some sections an
increased demand for the lower grades was
claimed. These reports had the effect of cre
ating a demand for long account bt the holiday
feeling in evidence restricted fresh business.
At the end of the first half hour of trading
the market was five to seven points over yes
terday’s ^lose
The market held steady until well into the
morning but the advance was not materially In
creased: At the highest prices were 6 to 10
poiQts up. 4 „
Very gradually offerings increased, especially
Oil the new months. This was due to the fear
of longs of January deliveries which rumor says
Will be large in both of the American markets.
Friday is first notice day for January in this
market and the bulk of the selling done durnlg
the morning was in preparation for this event.
Bulls displayed but little dlepo^lton to support
the market! once it started to, fall and the
early decline was 'quickly wiped out and re
placed by a net decline. At noon the trading
months were 6 to 10 points under yesterday’s
close, January making the widest loss.

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 24.—English con
sols are qnoted 3-16 higher. The stock of
Anierican cotton at Liverpool in today’s state
ment for the week is 578,000 less than last
year and 34,000 less than In 1911.
The Liverpool market again showed a good
market, with futures about 5 points higher
than due, spots 11 points higher; sales 8,000
bales. Our market opened about 4 points higher,
was -steady, but trading cautious. New York
advices, while admitting the bullish change by
heavy liquidation and a drop to a price level
which is nowadays regarded as a mean basis,
do not show any decided confidence or incli
nation towards an advance. Tbe rally of tbe
past two days is considered rather as a natural
rectipn. Real and confident euterprsie on the
part of speculation has yet to develop and this
Is hardly expected until after the turn of the
year and notice day developments are known.
The resolute action of congress in respect to
currency legislation has shown itself favorably
by greater confidence in financial matters.
Reports come from many points of a stronger
tendency by holders to resist the decline. We
shall compare on Friday with mill takings of
399.000 for this week last year and 312,000 in
1911. The into sight for the week is roughly
estimated around 541,000, against 445,329 last
year. As a vanguard of the next crop a report
comes from south Texas that owing to the awful
weather this month, preliminary conditions are
unfavorable and unless a long dry spell im
proves matters in January preparations will be
late.

ed After Dodos
T'
HIS is the month that every
body should begin mating
their birds and know just what
they will have to depend on for
their next year’s income.
The most important thing eon-
Higy nected with the poultry industry in
the breeding of fancy fowls is to
properly mate them. This can be
ignored one or two years and a per
son will lose five years’ work by
doing so. When birds are properly
mated every year and line bred, you
know almost positively before the
end of the season just what to ex
pect from our breeders. Seventy-five
to 90 per cent of them will come jusf
as you have mated them for, if the
matings are properly put together
and you know the breeding behind
each breeder.
M The best and most successful
breeders in America today owe their
success to pedigrees and knowing
the ancestry of every breeder. It is
of far more importance and will
tell quicker in poultry, to keep up
with the pedigrees and use it in mat
ing, more so than it does cattle, hogs
or horses.
The day w|ll come when there will be a pedigree register connected with
specialty clubs of all popular varieties of fowls. There Is no reason why
it should not be and it will, I think, be the next important step in breeding
fancy poultry.
During the month of December is the proper time to mate birds in
the south so that the males and females will become used to each other
and be producing eggs to be set in December, January, and February. There
is no doubt in my mind but what the southern poultrymen must raise more
chickens during the winter months, and it will put them in position to sell
more birds in the east—fancy birds for the early shows—and when this is
done it will enable the southern market to furnish eggs for the .east and
for their own use when no other section ©f the country can possibly get
them.
Your birds should be carefully looked over and see that no lice or in
sects are on them, because if they go into winter quarters infested with in
jects a large per cent of the eggs will not not be fertile and a large per cent
of weak chickens will be the result.
It is important that a good dry scratch shed should be connected with
every poultry house so as to keep birds at work on cold days and during
rainy spell of weather. It is of more importance that this should be looked
after in the south than in the east. Eastern poultrymen are compelled to
make preparations for this and the southern people are not, therefore it is
much neglected. Cold, bad spells of weather will be on us almost before we
know it and the loss from not being prepared will be something enormous. A
gqod dry place, a sand or dust box, should be in every house for the chick
ens to wallow in and take a sand bath. These are very essential and will
help keep off insects all during the winter months. If you haven’t a lot of
good dry sand or road dust, get up some and put under a shed so as to have
plenty fresh and dry at all times for brooders and dust boxes. There is
nothing better than alfalfa to use in the scratch pens, as it furnishes feed of
the very best egg producing materials and gives the chickens exercise in
addition and saves cleaning out the scratch pens which has to be done when
straw is used.
Fowls should roost during the winter months as near the top of the houses
as possible, and they should be well closed on back and both ends at least so
that no drafts can blow through on them and they can keep comfortable. It is
just as important that chickens sleep comfortable as for persons to sleep com
fortable. Therefore you should see that your houses are properly constructed
in this respect and if necessary make extra preparations. Hens that sleep
comfortably at night will lay eggs, those that do not, you can rest assured
will not produce eggs regardless of how well they are fed.
Incubators and brooders should be put in use by all means during De
cember—Iseep the hens laying and use incubators. Twenty or thirty little
chickens can be given to a single setting hen, and if these hens are kept in
comfortable dry coops, they will usually raise every chick intrusted to them.
They do far , better during the winter months than the summer. The colder
the weather, it looks like the better little chickens will thrive, provided they
are kept dry' atid protected. |
Broilers will be high the coming spring and as many as possible should
be hatched during the winter. During cold weather eggs should be gathered
several times daily promptly after being laid and properly cared for. Eggs
can be tested from your matings in incubators to see if they run a large per
cent fertile, for the best part of one’s work is lost by not getting fertile eggs.
You can be certain of this by placing a few eggs of each hen in the machine
and tell at the end of five days how they run.
Sometimes a, single hen will not mate with a male. In this case she should
be removed and tried with other males in a different pen. If you have only
two, three, four, or five such as suit mated with certain males only use these.
When only one or two females are put into a pen just to make up an even
number, 50 to 90 per cent of the offspring will be from these inferior fe
males.
1 Do not use them with a good male just to make up your number. Keep
them out of the breeding pen unless they are extra good. It is better to use
one single male and a single female if they are good, and get a start from
them by setting the eggs separately and toe-punching the chickens and set the
eggs from the selected birds. Life is too short to take too big a risk by put
ting yourself in doubt about the breeding of any bird.
If you have exhibited birds at the shows and done any winning, be sure
to let thd public know it through th© newspapers. It pays to advertise, as
you can not set business without it.
There is sure to be a big demand this year for setting eggs. Let the
public know th^t you have them and you will get your share of business,
especially if you have a few winnings to back up your season’s work.
Send to the butcher every inferior bird on the place. Feed is too high
and time too valuable to keep anything but the best. The sooner the
breeders find this out, the more money will they make. You should make
it a rule, if you expect to do your share of business, to spend at least
one-third of your income for adver-tising.
If you are just starting in the poultry business, by all means invest a
large per cent of your money in good fowls, the thing to make your money
with, rather than to put all into fancy buildings. Just so your buildings
are comfortable and convenient is all that is necessary. Fowls are th«f
things that will make you money; fancy buildings will not bring you any
inedme unless the right kind of stock is placed in them. Remember this in
making up your inventory to make an investment in poultry.
The rock that has wrecked many poultry fanciers has been by investing
too much money in fancy buildings for birds and when it comes to laying
the foundation to get your income from, not have anything left to get the
proper start. Remember this is beginning the poultry business. Another
thing that should be remembered is that the males are really 90 per cent of
the future year’s work. He stamps the color, iomb, and general outlines of
your birds and you can not be too particular about the breeding behind
him and get a good one, one that is as near perfect as possible. Females
put the size and constitution on the offspring, and where one male is used
to ten females, remember that ten times as much should be invested in him
as there is in the females.
Old male birds should be mated to pullets and young and vigorous
male birds should be mated to aged hens. It is far better to hatch your
birds from mature females and you can rest assured that the offspring will
have constitution and vigor about them and a large per cent will be raised,
even though hatchings be not quite so good. This should be remembered by
every breeder and there will be less roup and weakly constituted birds
when this system is practiced.
Old hens, however, are more inclined to lay on surplus fat. Make
them take exercise. A hen must be fat to lay eggs, but it should solid
and firm fat produced by proper exedcise and feed and not soft flabby fat
which is noticed in many breeding birds from want of proper exercise. Ex
ercise is the keynote to success in raising poultry and livestock and human
beings, but it should be indulged in only to a limited extent, a scratch
shed with medium sized runs in the proper way to secure this and get fer
tile eggs that will hatch out strpng chickens. Open front houses that face
the south and allow plenty of fresh air, with the house deep enough so
the chickens can sleep comfortably at night is the best for our southern
climate. The sooner our breeders find this out the better off they will be.
The coming season, 1914, from ail indications, promises to be the best
in tbe poultry ihdustry for those wtyo have taken care of their birds and
will go out after the business that awaits them this season. If you have
riot exhibited your birds at some of the shows, by all means do so and you
can count on getting your share of business and put yourself in position
to have a fine flock of early hatched winners next fall.
December and January are the months that every breeder should look
after these little details and put him-
self in position to make money next ^
year.
Very truly yours,

YOUR MONEY
The Moral Effeot
of Wise Saving.
BY JOHN M. OSKISON.
A French teacher nam-ed Levasseur
wrote a simple book on political econ
omy, and a lucid Englishman (Theodore
Marburg) translated it. In it occurs
the argument that it is a moral duty
to practise thrift. The argument is so
simple, interesting, and convincing that
I want to quote it:
“Let us consider the case' of two
men on an island, t£e one fishing, the
other hunting, and both exchanging a
part of their products in order to>«ecure
a variety of food. Suppose the fisher
man had the virtue of foresight which
the hunter lacks.
“Each day the hunter consumes the
whole of the game he has killed or the
fish he has secured by exchange,
whether much or little. The months roll
by without any amelioration in his con
dition, without providing any security
against the horrors of starvation should
sickness overtake him or persistent bad
luck follow him.
“Suppose that the fisherman, on the
other hand, establishes a practice of
dividing into two portions his fish, or
game bought with the fish. Each day
he consumes one portion to nourish
himself. By abstinence, he manages to
save the other portion, large or small,
which he salts or smokes.
“This supply, first of all, assures
him of a subsistence should the fish
happen to be lacking for a period; and,
too, it permits him to occupy whole
days in making better nets or con
structing a cabin. He accumulates ma
terial resources, such as the net, which
will last for a long time, and the cabin
which will shelter him for the rest of
his days.
“This man soon rises to a position
quite superior to the hunter; he be
comes relatively rich, and it is to his
economy that he owes this advantage.
Not only can he now enjoy more of the
conveniences of life, but having more
and better tools, the results of his day’s
efforts are henceforth more lucrative
than those of the hunter.”
In this simple illustration is contained
all the philosophy and all of the diffi
culty of thrift. All about us, in every
walk of life, is being repeated the ex
perience of the thrifty fisherman and
the unthrifty hunter. The law works
just as inevitably in the case of the
clerk who earns a salary of $18 a week
as it works in the case of the two prim
itive men on the island.
Elaborate that picture of the two
men on the desert island for yourself,
and see how civilization, the alert mind,
the sound body—everything we esteem
above mere eating and sleeping—must
depend for development upon the thrif
ty fisherman type.
