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.

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, Atlanta Live Stock (By W. H.

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. til* Hffli H HT V? » If y°*»from Fits, Epl- ■ lepsy.
