COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK, July 24.—The absence of
rain In Texas and Oklahoma led to a
steady opening in the cotton market to
day Prices were net unchanged to 5
points higher on the old crop positions
and unchanged to 4 points decline on
distant months. Immediately after the
opening scattered buying by shorts dom
inated the market, resulting in prices
rallying some 3 to 6 points from the
initial level. Later weakness developed
In the old crop positions, due chiefly to
liquidation of foreign accounts. The
sudden wave of liquidation of long ac
counts by prominent brokers, including
many spot interests, found the market
too thin to take the load.
The price of old crops declined in sen
sational manner. With declines as high
as 2, 3 and 5 points between sales, July
soon dropped 20 points, while August
lost 31 points from the previous close.
The weakness in the old crops had lit
tle effect on the new crop months, which
only declined 3 to 6 points. It is now
believed that a large short interest is
existing in later positions.

NEW ORLEANS, July 24 —Hayward
& Clark: The weather map is favorable.
It shows fair over the Carolinas and
Central and South Texas. Cloudy over
the rest of the belt. Fine rains in Ar
kansas, Central States, Alabama, Ten
nessee, parts of Georgia, and some show
ers in Northwest Texas yesterday and
last night. Indications are more pro
nounced for more extensive rains in
North Texas and Oklahoma. Showery
weather in the central belt.
* * *
The New Orleans Times-Democfat
says: ‘‘Liverpool reported smaller spot
sales. Manchester cabled that cloths
were dull and yarns hard to sell. The
weather map revealed splendid rains
east of the Mississippi River and the
map reads unsettled conditions over the
greater part of Texas. With these fac
tors as a starter, the American ring
prepared for a price recession on the
day’s trading and scored one in the nat
ural course of events. July New Orleans
again held the center of the stage, be
cause all of the trailers on the long side
had not liquidated. The result was a
further sharp readjustment, in which
the spot article played a part. ,
‘‘The talent as a whole now seems
satisfied the crop is progressing toward
a large yield. Rains In Texas in the
near future will go a long way toward
confirming such a belief. In that State,
dry, hot weather has probably done far
more good in the destruction of weevils
than harm to the plant, which, as a
rule, possesses a sturdy tap root and is
well limbed.
‘‘In recent years the Texas farmer
has profited by the Government’s experi
ments and has steadily Improved his
cultural methods.”
GRAIN MARKET
CHICAGO. July 24.—Weaker cables
and favorable weather in the spring
wheat country were the influences,
which forced wheat % to %c lower at
the opening. Liverpool showed a frac
tional decline and rains were reported
in Russia and Argentine. Northwestern
receipts were moderate, but they ex
ceeded those of last year.
Offerings of corn in the pit were
smaller at the opening and values had
an advance of % to %.
Oats followed in the footsteps of corn,
showing a gain of %c to c at the open
ing.
The advance of 5c In the price of hogs
at the yards had little effect on provision
values early In the day, the feeling and
the trend of values being somewhat
easier Trade was light and uninter*
esting.

Roup and Sorehead
Different Diseases
Both Can Be Prevented, Both Eradi
cated From Flock, by Easily
Applied Remedies.
By
Is there a difference between roup
and sorehead? My neighbor tells me
they are the same thing, only roup is
sorehead in the fall and winter, and
what we usually call sorehead is the
same disease in hot weather. 1 would
like to have your views upon the sub
ject.—Mrs. J. R. O., Dallas, Ga.
These are two entirely different dis
eases. and come from different causes.
Both are diseases of the blood, though
the effect is quite different. Then at
times the two troubles are found in the
same specimen.
For example, a fowl having the sore
head and all broken out with the sores
or bumps on its comb and head, will,
by roosting in a hot. damp place, con
tract the. roup. This will cause the air
passages to become inflamed and fill
with mucous, causing the fowl to
breathe through its mouth.
Results in Loss of Eyes.
The breathing passage to the nostrils
being stopped the inflamed matter will
be forced out through the eye duct,
filling the space around the eye. causing
it to water and swell. If it is not re
lieved the mutter will harden and final
ly the eye will go blind and peel out.
While this is going on the sorehead
trouble will wrinkle up the comb and
If not checked will form a solid scab
upon the head and comb and will so
affect the general health of the speci
men as to cause death in many cases.
It is only in rare cases, however, that
the two are combined. Either one is
sufficient in itself to cause enough
trouble to do a world of damage to an
otherwise thrifty flock. The sorehead
comes on as a result of infection intro
duced by the sting of the mosquito.
When once established In a flock it is
transmitted from one to the other,
without the aid of the mosquito, by
personal contact.
Coops Should be Netted.
Mosquitoes rarely bother them during
the day, so that where a person will
take the trouble to make his poultry
coops mosquito proof with netting they
will* have but little trouble from sore
head. Where this Is not done, a great
preventive measure is the giving of Ep
som salts freely In the drinking water
during July and August. It must not
be omitted for any length of time or
the system allowed to get out of the
influence of it or the sores will make
their appearance.
When the sores do come up, it is a
good plan to take any affected ones from
the flock and treat them Individually by
dipping a feather in oil of tar and touch
ing the sores. Another good remedy is
a stick of caustic touched to soft water
and then to the sore. Either one of
these will have a tendency to kill the
germs and dry up the sores. The salts
should also be given. Everything should
be. spick and span about the premises
in regard to water vessels, feed troughs
and nests. Filth will spread the trouble
faster than you can cure it.
Roup Like Common Cold.
Roup is to fowls what a bad cold is
to people, and, as it is in the human
family, it is liable to take various forms
if not checked in its incipiency. It may
become malignant, with an offensive
odor, and often develop Into swelled
head and at times into a cankerous con
dition of the throat and mouth.
It will be observed by opening the
beak wide that there is a thick, yel
lowish coating on the throat and tongue,
like cheese. Some experts advise the re
moving of this coating with a feather
quill and powdering the raw surface
with powdered borax twice a day. A
dose of castor oil every other day for
three days; then follow It up with salts
in the water. This is a constitutional
treatment that will help rid the system
of the poison.
The swelled head condition is best
treated with kerosene oil. We have
found nothing so handy to use as a
spring-bottom sewing machine oil can.
the small tip of which can be inserted
into the nostril. With this the oil can
be forced through the nostrils into the
head.
Foam is First Symptom.
If the poultryman is alert and looks
closely after his fowls he will notice a
little foam collected in the corner of
the eye. This is the first indication of
roup and the closing of the air passages.
This is the time to treat with the kero-
sene, which will usuallly, in about two
or three applications, clear out the
trouble entirely.
While roup usually is considered a
cold weather disease, yet it very fre
quently makes its appearance in the very
hottest times of the summer. At such
times it is as the result of chickens
being confined in hot, close quarters,
not well ventilated and full of bad
odors. At such times It is often more
trouble to handle than in cold weather
because of the difficulty in securing free
fresh air.
