SEA ISLANDs.-The Sea Island cotton crop

belonged to crops of the past two seasons.
In the early part of last september while re-
ports were received from Florida of shortage

cent. failing of in condition, II was not

mills never was as large at that season of the

crop lost much of its effect on account of the

seemingly exaggerated reports.
IL was not until about Oct. that cOnsum-

the liberal shipments of old crop cotton. AS

country Stlnened and gradually became above
a parity with savannah. and finally, in the
early part OF November actually rose above
the ruling figures Of Savannah. although the
rise in prices was very rapid here. frequently

About Nov. several large operators in the
interior became very bulliSh and gave out
estimates of 5000 bales as the size of the
crop. and circulars were issued by houses
here to northern aldEuropean correspondents
making somewhat the same estimates. Con
sumers call ul3ted that cotton was worth 25c.

How to Keep the Feet Warm.

The first and most important rule
for the carrying out this idea is never
to be tightly shod. Boots or shoes
that fit closely prevent the free circu-
lation of the blood by pressure but
when, on the contrary, they do not
embrace the foot too firmly, the
space left between the shoe and the
stocking has a good supply of warm
air. The second rule is never to sit
in damp shoes. 1t is often supposed
that unless shoes are positively wet it
is unnecessary to change them while
the feet are at rest. This is great
fallacy; when the least dampness is
absorbed into the sole, in its evapo-
ration it absorbs the heat from the
foot, and thus perspiration is danger
ously checked. This can be easily
prevented by trying the experiment
of neglecting the rule. The feet will
be found cold and damp after a few
minutes, although on taking off the
shoe and examining it, it will appear
to be quite dry.

An Experlment with Poultry.


In the agricultural and poultry
journals that I take l find great
many very wild and misleading state
ments concerning the profits OF poul-
try keeping. Evidently, most OF them
are written by enthusiasts who have
very little practical knowledge about
poultry keeping as business. They
have dabbled in it a little-just enough
to make a few dollars-and they at
once jump to the conclusion that
there is fortune in it for those who
will go into it on a large scale. They
reason that if ten hens will pay a
profit of $40 in one year, one thou
sand hens will surely pay profit OF
$4,000 in the same time. 1t looks
plausible in theory, but it is failure
in practice.
A long experience in keeping poul-
try can be managed with profit on
the ordinary farm. And l wish to
make the point has satisfied me that
not to exceed fifteen fowls can be
profitably kept in one yard, and that
one hundred hens is all that can right
here one only skilful management can
make even that number profitable.
A good business hen will lay 80 eggs
and raise ten chickens in year, but
not one mongrel in hundred will do
it. A hen that is compelled to roost
on a tree, on fence, or in a shed
through which the wind has full
sweep at all seasons, will not do it. Ii
she is to be made profitable she must
have good quarters and good care.
She must be protected from Indictment
weather, and from parasitic foes. She
must have clean nest, plenty OF
pure water, and enough grain food TO
enable her to construct the eggs she
is expected to lay.
l have tried quite number OF ex-
periments to determine the profit
well-kept hen will yield, one of which
l will detail here.
Two years ago l selected twelve
hens and a cock from my flock OF
Plymouth Rocks placed them in
nice, roomy yard by themselves, and
kept a strict account with them for
one year. The total cost of food for
that length Of time was 1854. They
laid 1,764 eggs, which were sold for
400. They also Matched and reared
seventy-three chickens, which were
raised to an average of two pounds
each. at a total cost Of S10.32, and
sold for S21.44, making the total re-
ceipts $43.49, and total expenses
1926. sc, leaving me profit OF $17.S3.
And l still had the thirteen fowls l
started in with.
The time required to attend to this
lot of fowls averaged fifteen minutes
a day; but it must be borne in mind
that they were confined to yard
and fed. II they had been allowed
to run at large and pick up large
portion Of their living the cost OF
keeping would have been materially
reduced. Near the large cities, where
eggs and broilers sell much higher
than here, the profits would be in
creased, while the cost of food would
be but little if any more.-Picket.
