The ponies are being exercised daily, hitched to the pretty buggies. All that will be necessary will be for the contestants to ask to see The Georgian an ( American ponies. Their whereabouts is so well known now to all ti e attendants at the stockyards that the child will be di rected without hesitation to the stables, and while Mr. Whiteside does not guarantee that every one wiU get a ride, he ^oes say there’s an ex cellent chance.

June 3.- Firm cables had u little bearing on the cotton mar ket ut the opening to-day and first prices ranged from unchanged to points higher than Monday's close. Traders here appeared to I)* 1 guided more by the weather reports from the belt rather than by the cables. Weather conditions over night were as nice as any one could desire. The market held rather steady before the rail, but immediately displayed con siderable weakness when the South turned u seller and from many points • atne advices, claiming that conditions were not so bad as indicated by the Government report. A Liverpool cable read: “Bureau dis credited. but many have temporary ef fect. Market will be lower if crop ac counts continue favorable.’’ July seemed in active <1 err:and during the first fifteen minutes, but quickly showed depression through heavy offer ings. dropping 10 points to 11.44. against an opening of 11.54 August declined 4 points from the opening, while new crop positions were under pressure and re ceded some 4 to 7 points from the in itial range. Sentiment continues bearish and the ring inclined to supply tlie market with plenty of cotton. Offerings were ab sorbed mainly by brokers with spot house connection. NEW YORK COTTON.

Prior to tHe promulgation of the condition report, when the bear tal ent expected 83 and the bull talent feared 82, room trailers generally, but in a small way, sold contracts short and then advised their friends to do like wise. The government figure, 79.1. in dicating the condition of the crop on May 25, spread momentary consterna tion among shorts, and thereafter, most of them attended strictly to their own business, which, in the main, related to the covering up of outstanding interest. The Government s idea of the condition of the crop ten days ago certainly does not harmonize with the talent’s idea to-day. "On May 25 a lengthy period of dry weather had not fully come to an end. •Many sections were complaining of re tarded germination, of the necessity for repeated replanting, of a prospective early start changed into a late start. The talent knew all this, as the facts had been exploited day after day. Then the rains came and big crop expecta tions took on renewed life Recently most excellent reports have come in from Texas and Oklahoma particularly and from other sections as well. Under the circumstances, the wish being father the thought and current advices hav ing inspired increasingly optimistic crop views, the ring began to count on a bureau figure of between 82 and 83.

Instead of a centra! association having control of the currency, as proposed by the National Monetary Dommi®sion. a national res-rve divi sion is established undtv exclusL* control of the Treasury. The comb is the fowl’s barometer of health. A bright red comb means health and vigor, while a dark or pur ple comb means congestion of some kind, and as the disease goes on. tip* comb turns sickly pale to almost white. Ho let your endeavors be to maintain red combs on all your chick ens. You may not think it pays to go to any trouble to prepare your poultry for market, just so you get it then* before it is spoiled. No greater mis taken idea was ever entertained. If you take extra care and pains In the preparation you will poon be able to command the extra price puch merit demands, which will well repay for all the extra trouble. On the other hand, carelessness In preparation simply puts your product into the hands of the huckster at his prices. Which class do you care to be found in? The question is often asked, Which color of eggs will command the best prices In the average city market, white or brown? Ordinarily there is but little difference. Where extreme care in handling is given the white ones look mighty nice, but they show soli much quicker than the brown ones, so that with ordinary care thi brown ones would look the best Where one is willing to take the extra care to keep them in condition and place them on the market to private customers the white ones w ill bring r. little better price. The hen enjoys her bath Just as much as a man does, and better than wme men do. but it is not the water bath we have reference to, but the much-talked-of dust bath. It is so essential to the health of the hen. No wise poultry man will neglect to pro vide the spacious, liberally supplied dust box. It should be the poultryman’s aim to get all the early hatched pullets and the hens through moult to laying before bad w eather sets in. when it is but little trouble to keep them in con dition for laying all winter, when eggs are high, but if vou do not get them started before the cold weather comes on. the task is not an easy one. See that they moult promptly by right feeding. \J The roosts of your poultry house should be all upon a level and not running higher and higher, as was thf custom ir. olden times, for ever/ chicken in the house will very natur ally decide to roost on the top roost, where there will be weeping and wail ing and Put them all on a level and not very high from the floor, ex cept. for the lightweight breeds, and they will soon learn that they can roost just as well at a moderate height as they i an in the top of the house. The roosts should all be movable, so they can be tafcen out and cleaned when necessary. Of all the feeds and kinds of feed look out for musty feed and cut it out at all times. It is the poorest kind of economy to try to work it in, perhaps because you can buy it at a low price It will prove disastrous in the end. Poultry Shows. There is no one thing that is of m much advantage to the poultry Indus try of this country as the local poul try show. Those who do not stop . o consider these little things in regard to the poultry business have no id-M of the influence that is exerted uponthe community by the holding of a good poultry show in the country town. The whole community becomes en thused and wakes up to the fact that there is really such a thing as a good ’stock of poultry, and by talking with the exhibitors they find that such stock will lay more eggs and give a great deal more meat for the food consumed than will the high-flying scrub stock of the farm. They get it all down the line. They become enthused so that there ‘s really something doing on the old farm. Things are stirred over, and it is not long until some of the Id stock is marketed and new stock takes its place. For these reasons we lik*» to see the local poultry show flourish. It is a working factor for better poul try, which means more and better eggs for the consumer at a reduced price.

OPINION ON GRAIN. CHICAGO, June 3. Bartlett. Frazier «Y Co.: Wheat The map shows gener ally clear in Northwest; some rain in Nebraska and showers in Iowa In Kansas precipitation rather general, but chiefly of a showefy character Local sentiment has become extremely bear ish again and may force prices lower, but we do not care to follow the decline. Corn—Weather conditions over the belt perfect. Speculative holders seem firm in their views and there is ap parently very little long corn on the market. oats As for some time past offerings continue to be absorbed by commission houses with local professionals the best sellers We look for a steady market Provisions—The undertone to the market is one of strength.

The Inter-Ocean says: "The bulls in wheat said that un less the weather map to-day showed heavier and more general rains than were reported yesterday higher prices are likely, although they admit that they are not getting much help from the out side public to bull the market "Most of the local trade were out of their wheat last night and a fair-sized short interest created. To have the smallest visible supply of corn for June 1 in over 34 years with the crop the largest on record, is the most surprising feature of the corn trade. The bulls argue that it is greatly in their favor, while the bears said it cut little figure, as they believe that there are larger re serves back in the country." LIVE STOCK MARKET. CHICAGO.
