Wholesome Advice by an Expert Who Has Tried It From Every Angle. Judge Marshall: I want to ask you a number of questions. If you will not think I am too greedy for Informa tion. I live on a farm about two miles from town and am trying to raise chick 111s enough to make a living from. 1 do very well with those I suc ceeded in 'iiising. but 1 loose about half of my chicks before they are two weeks old. As soon as the chicks ate hatched I give them a good feed of mash, composed of equal parts of corn meal and wheat bran mixed with hot wa ter. allowing it to cool a little before feeding. 1 feed this once si day and cracked corn three times a day; but J ha\* much trouble with spar rows eating up the feed. .1 also have much trouble with the red mites bothering my sitting hens, which 1 seem unable to control. Then, again. 1 have trouble every summer by having great, big. fat hens drop dead without any warning. They will be apparently well one day and the next they will be dead. They are very fat and fine and 1 see no rea son why they should die thus. I always feed a little good con dition powder of some kind three times a week. If it is not asking too much of you I should appreciate an answer to these troubles. 1 am yours very truly. MRS. E. E. SPEER. Tifton Ga. Cut Out Wet Mash. ANSWER -We have texts enough for a number of good sermons but will have to do like the boy said he did in bunting for the cows: Gd to the end of the lane and scatter. First, in regard to the little chicks, I would say cut out the wet math entirely, or, at least, until they are two months old and then if you want to use some of your feed in that way it will be all right, but not for the newly hatched ones. Feed rolled oats dry, and the cracked corn fine enough so they can eat it well, pro viding you can not get the ready mixed chick feed at your grocers in Tifton. But there is no question that the rolled oats is good, and so is the corn, but feed them absolutely dry. Another place where you have erred seriously is in feeding as* soon as hatched, if that is what you intended to say. There is nothing that will so < quickly get the digestive organs out of order, or, for that matter, prevent them from ever getting in order, as feeding newly hatched chicks at once. Give them a chance to season out a little, as one old poultryman used to say. When they first hatch they are a jelly, as it were, and it takes a day or two for them to tough en up, ready to digest what is given them. So, the way to do Is to wait forty-eight hours before any feed is given. They will not starve, but be all the better for the little fast. They may have a good supply of sharp sand to peck at. Then feed the rolled oats or prepared dry chick feed. This can be continued until they can handle charter cracked corn and wheat. Green Feed Necessary. All the while they must have good green stuff of some kind and a little dried beef scrap after they are three weeks old, and I think you will have no trouble if everything is kept clean and free from mites. The sparrows can be controlled by feeding under wire netting runs. When you set your hens, move them out of the lien house into some clean shed, nr, for that matter, out of doors, using barrels for the nest. But you should not have them in tin houses. Take a pint of oil of tar, a pint of gasoline, three quarts of ker osene; mix thoroughly and spray ot pour over the roosts and the sides of the house where the roost poles rest. If this is attended to an hour before roosting time, it will usually about finish the job. both on the poles and the hens. If any are left on the hens, dust them thoroughly with some good lice powder. After they have been really cleaned out. it will pay to grease the poles with hot lard and a brush. As to your loosing your fat hens by sudden deaths. I would say that I think you have been using too much condition powders. In my estimation even a little is too much when hens are in health and laying. You have weakened their digestive organs by overstimulation, coupled with too much fat in hens that are, no doubt, over two years old. When hens get a little old and fat. heavy behind, it is the best policy to send them to the butchers. Such hens have passed their use ful time. They have slowed up on laying and with no drain upon their systems they fill up with fat inside, where It presses on the heart and is the cause of the sudden deaths you speak of. It is no trouble to detect such hens L. ‘he yard, and it is a good plan to ns«- them while they are In good health, rather than wait for them to come to the sudden death referred to, OPINION ON GRAIN. CHICAGO, May 28.

STRENGTH IN WHEAT BASED ON HOT WINDS CHICAGO. May 28. The Inter Ocean says: "Hot winds were reported in the Southwest last night and the Kansas City curb on wheal was up \ of a cent Chicago was the weakest market yesterday, which bulls attributed to the break in corn. With unfavorable crop reports and a few days of dry. hot weather bulls are looking for higher prices and said wheat should be bought on breaks. "It was the theory of the bears that the crop scare has been worked for all It was worth for the time being and wheat should be sold or all bulges. Corn traders neueve that there will be little In it for the bulls in May corn the bal ance of the month. The trade has been largely evened up as indicated bv the bulge Monday and the break of yester day. "It would riot be surprising to see fireworks In May <>his in the two and a half trading days remaining of the month, including to-day Those who have watched the market say that the '•pen interest is larger than it is possi ble for the short® t<> deliver and the* will have to go into the pit and cover." Mitchell ano Schill were fair sellers of July; also new crop positions. Henckien & Yogoloang, Liverpool, ca hie: "Easy undertone The market looks lower unless crop news becomes worse." • • • Warehouse stocks in New York to day are 72,970; certificated 60.222 hales. • * • Norden & Cc. makes the condition <>f the crop 85 per cent anil acreage in crease 4.7 per cent. * ■* * Great Britain and the Continent are liberal absorbers of the New York stock of cotton. * * * About 800 replies received by the Georgia State Department of Agricul ture are the basis of a report by that office that 23 per cent of the crop has been replanted and the average plant ing time is seventeen /lays late Acre age has decreased about 6 per eent, compared with last year, but the con dition is 82 per cent. * * * Last week Turner, <»f Memphis, it.’id* the condition of Georgia 74 per a*?n . and Monday The Commercial-Apple., made it 72 per cent. • * » George W. Neville, of the New York Cotton Exchange, in his annual report on the New York Colton Exchange, said: "During the past five years when the New York Cotton Exchange was subjected to so much unjust criticism, there was never any complaint made of members resorting t<» undignified methods of soliciting business, but re cently some of our members have ex pressed opinions in their market letters in such a way as to cause the com- '•alnt and supervisory committees to go thoroughly into this matter and rep rimands ha\M been administered." The New York Cotton Exchange is to lie congratulated on lining so careful to maintain a high standard of business conduct among its members. * * * The Journal of Commerce has the fol lowing on the condition of the cotton crop in Texas and Oklahoma: Texas- "Estimates of acreage do not vary greatly from a month ago. when an increase of 3.6 per cent was indi cated. The percentage of condition will t»e approximately the same as last year, when it was 81.8 per cent. The season Is very late, being nearly three weeks backward, due chiefly to cold weather. Considerable cotton iH not yet up. and i number of farmers have not finished olanting. Some replanting has been necessary. Ruin has generally been plentiful and the ground is In a good • tate of preparation. Stands are rather Dotted, hut prospects are generally fa vorable " Oklahoma "A very substantial in crease in acreage is indicated for Okla homa over last year. I’ereentage eon- ' ion will probably show a consider ably higher figure than a year ago, when it was 78.7 per cent. Stands are very generally good and the crop has an excellent start. Rains have been somewhat excessive In some localities and grass is making headway. Some correspondents consider prospects the best In years. The season is early in many sections, but in the majority of cases ten to fifteen days late " Dallas wires "Texas generally clear. Oklahoma, light showers in Oklahoma City; north portion part cloudy; rest clear." • * V • T. H. Price presents a bearish view of the cotton market in this week’s issue of Cotton and Finance. * * * The Federal Grand Jury has post poned the Inquiry into the cotton pool case indefinitely. • * • NEW ORLEANS, May 28. Hayward A ('lark: The weather map is very fa vorable; shows cloudy in the Atlantic's; fair elsewhere. General rains in North Georgia and Carolina?. Some good rains in Carolines, where they will lie of great benefit. Indications are for fair and warmer over the entire belt, except possibly some showers on the Atlantic, coast. Memphis wir'es: "Generally fair and warmer weather is indicated for all cot ton States. Heavy rains fell yesterday in North Carolina Little or none else where. Very favorable conditions.” The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "Tuesday’s weather was good enough, hut the day’* quota of crop re ports lacked the favorable tone enthu siastic short sellers of Monday expected. The trade continued to buy contracts, and the underlying strength generated thereby and by covering by small • shorts was made acute by the change of position by one or more extensive operators who had been working on the 1 short side of the account. The result J was an advance which just about wiped not Monday’s decline. Business is in very small volume, fluctuations are nar row and constitutional partisans adhere to the old belief with the simplicity of ingrained faith. "Consumption is running on a heavier «cale than is absorption of the raw ma terial by spinners, consequently, re serves are being reduced. Bulls believe an average of about 15.000.000 bales a year Is needed, and that the probability Is against average crops of 15.000.000 yet a while For this reason friends of ‘he market can see no reason to fear »h«- possibility of serious declines in the value of the raw material. On the other hand, low price people know that the weather is good, that the demand is limited and the world’s visible supply of :U kinds of cotton is larger than it was >»t this time last year. Consequently they can not understand how anybody can anticipate any other than a down ward price movement." LIVE STOCK MARKET. CHICAGO, May 28. -Hogs: Receipts, 35.000. Market 54£10c lower.
