Poultry, Pet and Live Stock
By J. A. DINWIDDIE, New Market,

The secret of
success in ‘the t A j
poultry business avtce
is to keep flocks
comfortable, con
tented and happy, A »- niV)
At no time of the *■ ' u
year does the ap
plication of this ./
secret apply with Isl €
greater force than
during the sum- ,
men Try to keep rOJ/ItKV
fowls and chicks •>
comfortable, con

all the time. If JLJOCIOI
you have not al
ready removed the windows from the
poultry house, do so at once. Take
them out, thoroughly clean them and
store away, until needed. In some place
where they can not be damaged. Give
the fowls the comfort of an open-front
house with an abundance of fresh air
and freedom from the stifling heat of
closed sleeping quarters in summer.
Or better still, if you have an orchard
or other convenient trees, clean and
close your poultry house and drive your
chickens to the trees, first putting up
long poles for them to walk upon into
trees. In this natural roost you have
no lice and mites to fight, which les
sens the summer’s work quite a good
deal.
Clean up the poultry house. Tne
poultry houses should be thoroughly
renovated. Sweep the dust and cob
webs from the ceiling and walls inside
of the house. Scrape the dropping
boards clean and give them and the
roosts a good coat of kerosene or a
liquid lice killer. Clean out the nests
and burn the old nesting material.
Whitewash nests inside and out and
dry them in the sun. Thorough spray
ing of the whole interior of the house
with thin whitewash applied with a
compressed air sprayer will sweeten
things wonderfully. If floors are of
earth, remove the top six or eight
inches and replace with fresh, new
sandy soil. If floors are wood or ce
ment, scrape and sweep clean and then
wash with a strong creolin solution.
Allow to dry thoroughly, then, cover
with a few inches of sand over'which
straw litter may be used if desired.
■When you have the house clean, keep
it clean.
In warm locations it is well to have
a slide or opening in the north side of
the poultry house, to‘cool off the build
ing in extremely hot weather The or
dinarily closed type of poultry house
with small bare runs, and no shade,
makes mighty uncomfortable quarters
for fowls in hot weather. Many losses
among adult fowls in the summer sea
son arc the direct result of carelessness
in this matter of providing comfortable
quarters. Shade is Important. Shade
is essential to comfort and health quite
as much as is sunshine. Sunshine,
combined with fresh air. is one of the
best germ destroyers and preventives
of disease that we have. It is cheap
and effective, and for that reason it is
often overlooked for other agents which
are more expensive and less desirable.
It Is. however, possible under some con
ditions to have too much of a good
thing. And abundant sunshine, with
out shade for use when needed, may
cause trouble In hot weather. Fowls
are often overcome by heat, and. when
kept in bare, unshaded runs, not infre
quently suffer from sunstroke. The
remedy is obvious Provide an abun
dance of shade for use when desired by
the birds. When the runs are small
and bare they should he scraped and
swept frequently to remove accumu
lated droppings. All runs should be
spaded up often and seeded down to
oats, rye or corn. Corn grown in the
runs in hot weather makes rapid
growth and fu’nlshes not only fresh
green food, but shade as well if it is
permitted to grow, besides purifying
the soil. Keep the runs clean and the
soil well stirred. Where it is not prac
ticable to provide shade of trees or by
grow ing corn, but lap or muslin sun
shields shoul 1 he provided.
Grow ing stock on range will be mu< : i
more comfortable and profitable if dur
ing th° summer season they have an
opportunity to enjoy the shade of fruit
trees and hushes, as well as that of
either burlap or muslin sun shelters.

COTTON DECLINE!
Sudden Upturn in Market After
I
Early Slump—Offerings Find
Ready Buyers.
NEW YORK. Aug 13. Despite the j
covering by shorts prices were 8 to 15
points below Monday’s closing at the |
opening of the cotton market today. Au- t
gust and September sold under 11 cents
But for the covering movement there
would have been a sensational break, as
there was nothing in the weather nori
crop news of a bullish nature. Weak
cables was also a depressing factor.
During the first hour of trading the ,
market was under heavy selling, and suf- I
sering from the consequence of heavy |
hedge selling against long contracts in
Liverpool and spot cotton, and prices
made 6 further decline in most active I
positions of 8 to 17 points from the early •
range. A sudden buying wave prevailed I
during the late forenoon trading, headed i
by Eastern and Southern mills, also large I
sppt interest, and through their agres
slveness prices made a continuous rise. |
gaining the entire decline, and prices
during the afternoon session aggregated
19 to 24 points above the opening figures.
At the close the market was steady
with prices ranging from unchanged to 6
points above the final quotations of Mon
day.

'l'he New Orleans Times-Democrat sum
i mar\ : ’rhe ease with which yesterday's
cotton market declined nearly $2.50 a bale
on confirmation of recent favorable crop
progress, and the absence of reaction
ary force even after a decline of nearly
200 points, gave many non-bearish opera
tors something to think about If the
market can be weak in spite of a spotted
and late crop, in spite of record-breaking
consumption, and in spite of the heavy de
cline that has taken place during the past
two weeks, the bearish argument, favor
ing still further declines, would seem to
merit more careful consideration and an
alysis than has thus far been given it
by the high price faction, which con
tends that, notwithstanding recent and
current favorable weather, the outturn
does not promise to reach 14.000,000 bales
by a wide margin
All during the spring and during June
and July the strength of the contract
market was predicated, first, on the
strength of the actual stuff, which was in
an unprecedented demand, and next, on
the existence of many outstanding loan
contracts, which are still held as hedges,
and. third, on the conviction of many
traders that poorly prepared fields
and an unfavorable start on a reduced
acreage promise a smaller crop than will
be required to meet the needs of the mills
another year Environment co-operated
with the hulls, and the market danced day
after day ami w’eek after week, almost
without cheek or reaction, until October
in New Orleans had reached 13.34. Up to
that time the bullish cart had been
hitched to a star. Since then the bull
ish star seems to have been bitched to a
cart.
I HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug 13. Weather
'conditions and developments continue fa
vorable outside of western and southern
1 Texas and central Mississippi, where it is
cloudj e generally fair weather prevailed
' Temperatures are normal and rainfall
confined to East Tennessee ami a few
points in Mississippi Indications are for
i unsettled and showery weather coming
on west Texas, Oklahoma and northern
Arkansas, while elsewhere generally fair
weather will continue.
A large Texas spot house sent the fol
lowing: “Think crop prospects in Texas
and Oklahoma on the whole best seen at
this time of year “
Liverpool developed further acute weak
ness with futures as much as 17 points
lower; spots 21 points lower. However,
there is encouraging feature in a slight
increase in spot sales, possibly indicating
that mill demand is ready to take hold.
Spot people here reported more inquirv
from Eastern mills for early delivery.
Our market again strongly entertained
’he view that a reaction was due after
the big decline, and there was large buy
ing to replace sold-out contracts in the
initial decline of 12 points. It soon ap
peared. however, that Liverpool was not
yet through with liquidation and that
pressure continued at the New York eml.
Resistance here was overcome In the sec
ond hour ami October dropped to 11.16
There is no question, however. that
technical conditions are sounder, ami that
mill demand is ready to come in on the
first sign of a change in the market
Texas is still alone in supplying early
cotton, and Houston quotes middling 1
cent higher than futures.
