Getting Ready for Winter
We have this year had a very good old-fashioned summer
j some of the wise ones are predicting a severe winter. Be
that true or not, it is a mighty good plan while
the weather is fine to fix up for whatever may
come in the way of bad weather. We always
get a lot of mighty rough weather before the
winter is all over, which is hard on the chick
ens inadequately housed.
The poultry houses should be among the
first things to be looked after. A loose hinge
~e re . a broken board there should all have our
attention. Fix that leak in the roof. If it is
paper or felt roofing, it is a good plan, where
j t is tender and easily torn, to take a lot of
lath nails and go over it, nailing one on
wherever it has become loosened.
You know the wind plays havoc with such
places when they once get started. I find these
lath nails better t.hany any large headed nails
for the repair work. It may be necessary in
order to preserve the roof to give it a coat of
paint, even if it be some cheap kind of paint.
Then there is the fencing that more than likely needs a little
straightening up and a few staples and nails at different
points.
The storms and hot sun of summer will warp and twist things
about so that they pull the nails from the posts and the first thing
vou know you have two valuable males tearing themselves to pieces
in a bloody battle. Better remedy this in advance than to try
to repair after the mischief is done. Posts that have about rot
ted off can often be stayed in such a manner as to avoid, for
the time being, the expense of an entirely new one. Gates that
have been hanging by the eye-lids should be straightened up.
All disused brood coops should be cleaned and stored in some dry
place after being repaired, if necessary. The present is a slack
time with the chicken man and is a good time for this cleaning
up job.
One must not forget the dust bath for cold weather, and that
it can not be shoveled up in cold, wet weather as it can at this
time, so let us fix up a good supply. Fill a barrel or two, accord
ing to the needs of the flocks. Good, dry road dust is usually the
thing sought, but any good, dry loam -will do the work as well,
but it must be dry when put away or it will never be dry
when barreled up. Get rid of all the chickens there is not likely
to be any profit in during the winter. Kill off the old hens that
are not laying any more and the surplus cockerels unless there be
those that will be in demand for breeders in the spring at good
prices.
In other words, do not let a lot of dead beats eat their heads
off before you know it. It is the taking care of these little leaks
that brings up the balance on the right side of the ledger.

Marrow Range in Prices During
Entire Day, With Only Small
Change Noted at Close.
NEW YORK. Oct. I.—Strength in Liv
. orpool cables caused the cotton market
to open barely steady today with irregu
larity predominating prices ranging 3
Ptptnts higher to 4 points lower than last
night s clostx. The Journal of Commerce
i in their cotton report on conditions as of
September 24, placed condition at 70.3,
showing a decline of 5.1 from the previous
month, which was 75.4. against 70.8 a year
ago. I’his report when contrasted with
previous year was regarded as very bear-
Lsll causing free selling from many
sources which resulted in most active
positions dropping 5 to 8 points from the
early range. The buying was general,
which seemed to come chiefly from shorts.
I’hroughout the morning session the
market was marked with heavy selling,
which seemed to come mostly from com
mission houses and the ring crowd. 'l’his
selling was thought to he to further long
liquidation. The buying was chiefly con
tributed to spot interests and some short
covering before the government report, to
.be issued .tomorrow at noon, which is
I anticipated by. many to be around 6!L
. I here was fair buying by certain bro
kers. which was said to be for New Or-
I leans account.
During the afternoon trailing shorts
i continued to cover and prices regained
i the initial decline, ranging from un
changed to 6 points above the opening
i prices.
A disposition rest among the bears to
hold their cotton, as some of the most
conservative operators believe there
should be a good rally in the very near fu
t ure.
At the close the market was steady
with prices ranging from unchanged to 5
points above the final quotations of .Mon
day.

Market Stagnates Early, But
Heavy Buying in Last Hour
Causes Reaction.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Oct. I.—Weakness was
the dominant fnqtor in the stock market
at the opening today, with Canadian Pa
cific sustaining a loss of 1%. the biggest
decline among the standard issues. tra
ders assigned several causes for the
weakness, among them the Balkan sit
uation and the raised call money rate,
which followed the calling of loans by
banks sot the payment of dividends and
interest on stocks and bonds today,
amounting to m«re than $170,000,000.
The initial weakness was immediately
followed by a reaction and a number of
stocks made material gains The buying
movement gave an tippearance of irregu
larity. United States Steel common
opened % off, but made up of the
loss. Amalgamated ('upper showed the
same decline. Among the other declines
on first stiles were Erie common %. Read
ing %, American Smelting %, Missouri
Pacific %. Union Pacific >»., Southern Pa
cific %
The curl) market was irregular.
Tlie London market was depressed by
the Balkan outlook, reflecting the sen
timent of all the continental bourses.
Americans there were heavy and Cana
dian Pacific was weak on general selling.
In the late afternoon trading a number
of the important issues made substantial
gains, although selling on a large scale
continued to come from London. Th/ 1 tone
held firm.
The market closed firm, government
bonds unchanged; other bonds steady.

Wheat—No. 2 red 105 @106%
Corn 69%
Oats 33 @ 33%
CHICAGO. Oct. I.—Wheat opened
strong in tone and from %c to %c higher
in price today, mainly on strong cables,
which caused a good buying demand. The
strength in Liverpool was attributed to
the Balkan war scare and to an im
proved demand for American and Cana
dian wheat. Russian offerings were also
firmer.
Corn was firm and a shade higher at
the opening, hut prices eased off under
free offerings.
flats were steady to a shade higher.
Demand was fair at the start
Provisions were firm and higher. Sym
pathy with strength in wheat was tlie
main factor. The war scare helped.
Wheat showed net advances of %c to
,c for the day and closed around the.
best prices reached'. There was only a
small business'in cash wheat, total sales
amounting to 10,000 bushels. Clearances
for the day were again liberal at 647,-
000 bushels, but this was mainly old
sales.
Corn closed %c to %c lower. Corn
was under considerable pressure and was
almost completely without recuperative
power. There were sales of 80.000 bush
els of <ash corn and 110,000 bushels of
cash oats.
Oats were unchanged to %c lower.
The provision market was a surprise
to everybody, as II was generally believed,
this morning that with tlie free delivery
of lard here tnere would be a price set
back. but instead of a decline there was
an advance.
