f TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 11 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.

Oklahoma—Part ly cloudy.” * * * 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. MULHALL BAND SUES PAPER. WASHINGTON. July 24.—A.
