cothran & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

Ine LlVefpoOl cotton market was sup jected to heavy selling of options against actual cotton, and although d considerable decline ensued some cables expressed the opinion that the market was in a health fer condition, and chances were in favor of an advance. Spots lost 22 points on the rather small sales or 40O0 bales and options declined points, Cloths were quieter and yarns easier in Manchester.
 Our market opened materially lower. influenced by indications of a large move ment and a good weather map. Port re- ceipts are exceeding all records and the interior receipts are also quite full.
 The weekly bureau report apparently about met expectations, and had only a small effect on prices. The indication of very small top crop is of much impor- tance, suggesting the abandonment of all ideas of large yield per acre and the increased acreage must be unquestionahly relied upon for crop approximating the record in size The market unquestionably feels the influence of the heavy move- ment and the selling of some hedges, but If the monthly bureau confirms the de- terioration as shown in recent weekly re- ports, better prices may eventually be expected. The decreased spot demand and absence of speculative support, however, impart a sagging tendency at the present time.
 Wheat-Tllere was selling early, allow ing of small declines; foreign markets easier but primary receipts were less than last year. and there was buying by Armour on big scale that started shorts to covering, while inspiring more confi- dence among the bull contingent. Considerable selling appeared at times through commission houses and the scalp CTS, but offerings were taken of the mar ket. There was talk of better cash de- mand at Duluth, while the worlds visible was considered bullish in the sense that the increase was very small compared with last year.
 The days strength was rather surpris- ing, but the foreign news was rather bull ish. especially that appertaining to Aus tralia. and closing was firm,
 With further advances appearing we would favor sales as we do not believe these prices can be sustained.

New York Cotton Futures.
New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 27.-Spot cotton quiet and weak. Sales 4250 bales, includ- ing 1900 to arrive and 400 free on board Quotations 1s lower.
 The future market opened steady at a decline of to 13 points Liverpool was lower than expected and induced free selling orders at the opening of the Am erican markets Bearish sentiment grew after the opening on reports of estimated receipts of over 100000 bales at all ports today About L o'clock when the gov- ernment bureau report was read it proved to be even more bullish than the bulls expected, but failed to have any great effect on prices sending them up tenn porariy only about points. This was probably due to heavy selling orders from New York which prevented any scare among shorts over the bullish report In the trading October opened IS points low down to 1014. The market closed weak losses of 31 points on September and a to 22 points on the other months.

Notes on Sheep Raisinq.

If lambs come in winter ewes should
be fed a little grain two or three
weeks before lambing then after the
first few days feed the eve a variety
of grain and the best roughage you
can get. Lambs should be fed apart
from the ewes, oats, corn and mix
ture of nine parts bran, one part oil
meal, fed in different boxes, give the
right variety.
Many tlocks are allowed to carry
their wool, or part of it, until very
warm weather, much to the dscom-
fort of the flock and loss to the lambs,
because ewes that are too warm can
not give as much milk as ii comfort
able.
Keep the flocks clean outside by dip
ping. Keep them clean inside by fire.
Quent change of pasture and variety
of feed. Keep yourself hustling to
improve your flock by selecting new
blood and wedding out poor stock
Keep posted by going to fairs and
visiting your neighbor's focks. &C
slow and learn the business.-W. c.

The Younu Calf,

From the day of it's birth, it may be
given some bright, clean hay, for /
have seen calves when a few hours
old, trying to initiate the mother in
chewing hay. Now on no account
throw the hay down on the floor Of
the calf pen, where it may become
trampled and soiled and, consequent
ly, unfit or even dangerous as food.
Make little rack in one corner of
the calf pen, from which the hay may
be pulled in small quantities. A calf
may be safely given all the roughage
it cares to consume. When ten days
or two weeks old, little box may be
placed in one corner OF its pen, and
in this may be put handful of whole
oats. After II has finished drinking
its milk, few oats may be rubbed
on it's nose, it will soon find the box
Now it's ration is skinned milk

growth, and one calculated to prove

The Cow and the Piu.

In some sections of the country
many more COWS are kept than pigs,
even where butter has to be made on
the farm. In such case of course
the skim milk is abundant and as the
hog can make more use of it than any
other farm animal, it should be thus
used. There is no doubt that every
farmer that keeps a few cows should
also keep a SOW and raise at least one
litter of pigs per year. A great many
farmers say they do not keep pigs
for the reason that they can keep only
one or two and many springs the crop
Of pigs is so light that none are for
sale. 1t is the practice now, as it has
been for no one knows how long, to
buy pigs in the spring. The argument
against keeping SOW is that more
pigs will be produced than the farmer
has any use for. But as young pigs
are always in demand for eating, there
is scarcely a difficulty in this regard.
We have seen pigs sell at So each in
the spring, and litter that numbers
six 20 eight is therefore profitable.
The COW and the pig are natural allies,
even more so than the steer and the
pig. Pig raising is almost an integral
part of dairying. Vt is evident that
under such conditions the pig is
about all profit, and for that reason
every farm should raise a number
and where they are always raised the
number should be increased.

Cold Weather Calves.

During cold weather calves should
be kept with their dams in warm,
clean box stalls for the first couple of
weeks, except for few hours during
the warmest part of the day, when
the cows may be turned out and the
calves given summing by themselves
out of sight of the cows, says II. W.
Crew. In nice weather it is better to
separate the calves from the COWS
after two days and let them suck all
they want three times a day for the
first week and then twice a day until
they are about six months old. II
some do not get about all the milk
they want from their dams they may
be allowed TO finish other cows giving
surplus that have calves about the
same age.

apple tree of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree INTO productive and profitable
tree was another question.
IL needed sunshine and the kind of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. 1t is an abso-
lutte certainty that without the pub
lcity thus given-in other words. the
sunshine-the business never would
have developed.
You have seen to-day factory build
ings-thirteen or fourteen in number
covering many acres Of ground, en-
ploying hundreds of workpeople, pro-
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four million packages per month,
which goes to every civilized country
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise is less than 8 years old We
have found 1t necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the sunshine

Some thoughtful man might say that
II what you manufacture has merit,
once you get trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase, even If
the advertising is stopped, but to act
on that conclusion would be fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your APP

they will come In and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let us drive a nail,
not a shingle nail but a forty penny

advertised thing. 1t should be tho
very best that human intelligence and

TALK ON ADVERTISING


The sunshine that makes business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing business nowadays is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with 1t, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear, You must have sunshine and
lots Of 1t. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
TO grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is good illus
tration of that law 1t seems but a
short time ago when put a few men
ut work in the carriage house of the
barn you have seen to-day where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted, less than Q
years ago. was a new kind of apple
seed and IT was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples

plenty of it. We knew we had good

THIS WOMAN KNOWS

Erred TO HER GREAT Joy.
Mrs. Dc Long Finds Thpt the indie
scribable Painn sf rheumatism Can
Be Cured Through the Blood.

Mrs. Z. M. De Long, of No. 1G0
West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa,
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter Of 1896.
She gave the doctor a chance TO help
her, which he failed to improve, and
then she did some thinking and ex-
perimenting of her own. She was SO
successful that she deems it her duty
to tell the story of her escape from
suffering:
MY brother-in-law," she says, was
enthusiastic on the subject Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills as a purifier Of
the blood, and when l was suffering
extreme pains in the joints of my an
Mes. knees, hips, wrists and elbows,
and the doctor was giving me no re-
lief, l began to reflect that rheuma-
tism is a disease of the blood, and
that If DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
SO good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth a
trial
II was in bed half the time, suffer
ing with pain that cannot be described
" OhO WIZ lbs nCNSi huu thO

set of joints. When It was In my feet
l could not walk; when It was In my
elbows and wrists l could not even
draw the coverlets over my body.
had suffered in this way for weeks
before l began using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Two weeks after l began
with them l experienced relief and
after | had taken six boxes l was en-
tirely well. To make sure continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For sew
eral years l have hau no reason to
use them for myself, but have rec
commended them to others as an ex-
cellent remedy"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish tho
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue,
strong muscles and nerves, capable Of
bearing the strain that nature puts
upon them. They really make new
blood and cure all diseases arising
from disorders of the blood or nerves,
such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, st. Vitus'
dance, nervous prostration, anemia
and all forms of weakness in either
male or female. They are sold by all
druggists.

Environment Of the Feedino s

environment Of the Feeding Steer.
The environment of the feeding
steer has something to do with the
use he makes of his food, and this
something is more than we usually
think. The tests to determine whether
steers do best in barns or in open
sheds have given somntimcs one re-
suit and sometimes another. An in
vestigation of these results has con.
Vinced the experimenters that the con-
dltion OF tho feeding yards has had
more to do with the gains than the
question of temperature. Where con.
ditions have been such that the steers
nave been comfortable they have made
better gains than where conditions
were such that the steers were I'M
comfortable. A feeding lot must be
well-drained or it must be well
bedded and If it is both so much the
better In this connection it is hard
ly supposable that steers that have to
wade through a barnyard a foot deep
in soft manure will do as well as
where the yard is kept clean. There
are numerous yards where the animals
are purposely kept in filth for the sake
of pulverizlng the accommodating ma
nure and Fastening the rotting of the
rubbish that is thrown in from time to
time.
Some feeders are coming to the
practice Of paving their yards. An
experiment at the Illinois station
showed that the paved yard gave bet
ter results than the unpaved one.
Similar results were obtained at the
Pennsylvania Experiment station. The
comfort OF the animals has financial
value.

Italian Cheese.

This variety of cheese is manufac-
tured from milk which has been de-
prived Of about half its cream. It is
not pressed, like American cheese, but
is worked and nodded with the
hands. After molding the cheese is
put into brine for three or four days.
and when thus sailed, is taken out
and hung up TO season or cure. The
finished product resembles a summer
squash in shape, being provided with
a knob on one end. The taste is some
thing like that of a Switzer che ese,
and the texture is rather dry. The
manufacture of Italian cheese is
rather expensive, and consequently II
brings very fancy pri-e.-N. Y.

Slack Methods Costly.

One creamery | visited was clean
and neat, yet, through the buttermak-
crs antipathy to the use OF CONNER
cial starters and an alkali test, he
allowed the quality of his butter to be
dominated by the character of the
feeds used to such an extent as to lose
about 500 in n very short time. The
huttermaker was also careless about
the granular butter being washed out
of the churn onto the floor and down

Dairy Cows Must Be Cared For.


In looking over many of the reports
from men who have been through the
country taking a cow census, l find
that the dairyman who has tried to
improve the stock by introducing into
his herd a thoroughbred sire of some
OF the distinct dairy breeds. Is the
one who has realized the most profit
every time. l want dairymen to have
the best cows, and II speak OF the
special purpose dairy COW and do il
forcibly, it is because l believe the
dairyman who is doing anything short
of this is not living up to the full pos
sibilities Of his business. AS | travel
through the country and see the con-
dition stock Is in and how they are
cared for and the feeds used, l am
inclined to think that perhaps there
is place for the common or dual pur-
pose COW, until such time as he shall
turn over n new leaf, "Quit his mean
ness" as Sam Jones says, and improve
his ways of feeding and caring for his
stock.
have been in places this winter
llSuJ htlS III llG SldlG VI WloSohoih
where cows were kept out Of doors all
winter, with a run in the old corn field,
a little poor hay and the straw stack
for shelter. Would the strictly dairy
COW be able to do business under these
conditions? She might possibly sur
vive, but the idea of profit would be
entirely out of the question, for it
would take at least the first half OF
the summer for her to pull body and
soul together, and by that time she
would have got all out of the notion of
giving much milk. Dairy type is not
Il accident, and there is good sense
in every point Of make up. In the
matter of judging dairy cow there
is nothing so reliable as the milk scale
and the Babcock tester, but pros
pective buyer in some cases, or a
judge in the show ring, must have a
quicker way of Judging and he must
have the ability to recognize at q
glance the signs which have proven
to be the evidence of the true dairy
type.-F. H. Scribner at Wisconsin In
