Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

While the market today kept within the narrow range of 10 points and closed only higher than last night, the tone has been remarkably healthy, with senti ment showing a decided trend toward the bull side.
 It is noticeable that whenever of late the May approached the il cent mark, selling has been encountered of a persist ent character A good many people have evidently become convinced that Il cents as a permanent price for any of the summer months will not hold and that sales around that level are safe. On every one of the recent rises short lines have been put out and no doubt the interest on that side of the market is considerable. Any advance. therefore which would car ry prices above il cents and hold there for any length of time will have a decid- ed sentimental effect in destroying the confidence of shorts and may lead to wholesale covering.
 Liverpool prices were quite favorable and though spinners are moving rather more slowly in the matter of purchases since prices have stiffened up the be- lief Is growing that the bottom has been seen, and that higher markets are ahead of us. There is little doubt that very large short interest exists in the market Spot markets while not particularly &C., tive, show plainly that spinners are be- coming uneasy over the unmistakable change in sentiment. Some of them be- tray their belief in a maintenance of a good level of prices well Into next season by heavy purchases of the October op- ton at about 60 points under July.
 Should any active spot demand de- velop both exporters and spnners will soon discover that all weak cotton has already been disposed of and that buyers henceforth will have a different class of sellers to deal with Liverpool is due unchanged to 1 point up tomorrow.

SAN JOSE SCALE LOUISE.
The Mixture Which Has Proved tn

But it will do to repeat what. We
have said before, that so far nothing
has been found to equal the lime, sui
phur and salt remedy, unless it is
simply the lime and sulphur. omit
ting the salt. The salt does not seem
to do much good, but renders the SUBJ
stance harder to manage. !
William j. Skillman, president OF the
New Jersey state board of agriculture;
an old soldier, is fighting the louise:
has large orchard which he has
been spraying for years trying every
thing recommended, and has settled
down to the conclusion that the lime.
tells tie Royal New Yorker this, and
says that he can, by hard work, keep
the louise in check. !
He makes the mixture as rollows:i
Forty pounds of fresh lime, 80 pounds
of sulphur and 20. pounds of salt to
10 gallons of water. The very best
of materials should be used, the mix
ture boiled until thorough combina-
ton is formed, then applied at once,
This solution, it properly made and
thoroughly applied, will kill the scale,
no matter what kind of tree it is on.
The idea that the scale is harder to
kill when. on ore kind of a tree than
another is an absurdity. All oil rome

70 PREVENT FOOT DISEASE
Ohio State veterinarian Fischer De3
49,. clar,os Farmers Should Be >
Very Vigilant..

7 Our recent experience with food
and mouth disease should teach u
q lesson. This disetse is one of the
milder infectious diseases. Though it
spreads from animal to animal with
extreme rapidity it runs its course In q
very few weeks, and almost invariably
ends in complete recovery. Fatal ter
limitations are rare. Yet congress-
considered it wise to appropriate halt
a million dollars to exterminate il
after it had made it's appearance on
a few New England farms. Thou
sands of cattle, besides sheep and
swine, were sacrificed in order to pre-
vent the disease from gaining gene
eral foOthold in the United States.
Mild as the disease is compared with
other affections no expense was con-
sidered too great to exterminate it
while this was still possible. The in
dividual farmer should not fail to
learn a lesson from this: II tho
stamping out of foot and mouth
disease had not been looked upon as
a. good business transaction and
profitable investment of half a mill
hon dollars the necessary funds would
never have been appropriated.
Few realize the importance of this
work, or have a knowledge OF the
good that may be done. We do not
appreciate protection from an enemy
until we have made its acquaintance.
Bright sunshine, low temperature, dry
| ness and general cleanliness prevent
| the development OF disease These
| same conditions are conducive to tho
best health Of higher animal life. COL
! lectively we refer to them as good
! sanitary conditions. 1t is necessary,
| aside from providing such conditions,
to protect animals against the intro
| duction of diseases from localities
where they are prevalent.
Efforts expended in this direction,
considering the slight expense, ara
more fruitful in their results than
any other single operation on the
farm. Every farmer and owner OF
live stock should take the same meas
ures to protect his farm from invasion
by disease as state live stock board
takes in protecting state from the
introduction OF animal plague from
other countries, Work of this kind
by live stock sanitary board In
wolves many difficulties and the ex-
penditure of large sums of money!
yet it is successfully accomplished
and is profitable investment for the
state. The individual farmer has tho
advantage over a state or government
organization; he is in a position to b0
perfectly familiar with all conditions
existing on his farm and is complete
master of the situation. }

laid a piece of joist three feet long
(hardly shown in CUT, to support the
roof. Roof should run to point from
each side, and may be shingled, timed
or matched. There are four plates
framed together, and braced. The
posts pass up through the roof on the
inside corners of the plates. The roof
is elevated and lowered with small
screw of wood or iron, about two feet
long. A wooden screw three inches
in diameter will answer. This is used
on the inside of the post. One man
can raise and lower the roof, il it is
done as fast as the hay is put in or
taken out. Raise each corner Of the
roof one foot at time, going regular
ly around the barrack. The roof will
not be likely to blow off, if the above
directions are followed in building.
The posts, as far as they enter the
ground, may be left the full size of
the stick. The best way to build a
barrack is with stills, and girts seven
feet from the stills, and braced. You
can fill it from the ground, or put hay
poles on the girts, and have shelter
under for sheep or cattle.

What has previously been said Of
permitting the child more freedom
with the symbol forms may now be
recalled and put into general prac-
tice. Every child, as said before, can
not avail itself of the liberty to devil
ate from the geometrical forms, and
the less talented will work by the
forms, while the most talented will
have understood that they were a
means to an end and begun to
work freer from restrictions. With
the cultivation of talent observation
of form will naturally begin, and this
will show that while the symbol of an
apple tree as given may stand for the
apple tree, by certain indentations Of
the mass Of the tree and certain curry
ing, widening and branching of the
trunk a representation much nearer an
apple tree may be given.

the monstrosities. In every big city
there are several dozen dreadfully
formed creatures who could make
huge incomes in museums, but who,
having money, prefer to remain IN
seen. They are monstrosities, beings
so terribly unlike ordinary men and
women that if they ventured out upon
the street, they would instantly be
surrounded, by. an enormous and
ehrieking crowd, The monstrosities
must have air: and exercise. They take

IDENTIFICATION IN FRANCE,
Passports and Registration of For.
..x eigners Are .Rigidly Re-
:, quired.

Deputy Consul General Coke, of Paris,
cautions Americans sojourning or
travelling in France to provide them
selves with means of Identification.
The lack of this in many cases has
caused unnecessary anxiety and an
noyance. Mr.. Coke writes:
-'HThe simplest means of identification
is TO carry addressed envelopes which
have passed through the post Office
The French law requires registration
OF all foreigners who come to reside
here, including students. This is done
1.-The offices of the project of police in
Paris or Lyons, or at the Office of the
mayor in other parts of France. Any
change of address must also be COM
muhicated to the police. TO SECURE this
registration and the small certificate of
Identity, the person must furnish
either a passport duly viseed or con-
sulars AFFIDAVIT:
1.-Two incidents from very many will
illustrate the Importance of carrying
everywhere papers to identify the bear
err A well-known American lady 60
ing to church. one Sunday morning was
knocked down by cab. Though not
hurt she was insensible for several
hours. No one knew who she was, and
she carried no papers of any kind. Ar
rayed in costly clothes and wearing
valuable jewelry, the police were i'm
pressed and took every care of her, but
she was taken to city hospital. Upon
recovering she was taken to her hotel.
Had she carried a card or addressed en-
velope much inconvenience would have
been avoided. A bright American art
list, unable to speak French, had mis-
understanding on the street with a
Frenchman, who denounced him to the
police. The latter, being unable to as
certain who he was or what he was do
ing in Paris, hustled him off to prison
as dangerous or suspicious character.
After fortnight in Jail he thought of
his consul and demanded to be brought
to him. This step brought about ex-
plantations and liberty on condition that
the young man registered Immediately
with the police. Had he carried papers
establishing his identity a painful and
humiliating experience would have
been spared him.
'The passport is another important
means of Identification, the general use
of which is for entering and departing
from the frontiers of European coun-
tries. The passport is also of immense
value to a, father who has to establish
his foreign citizenship in order to claim
exemption for his son from military
service. The passport is also useful to
the automobilist, especially when tour.
ing in an out-of-theway place. Amer.
leans come repeatedly to the consulate
to 4haveSa passport vised for the purpose
Of obtaining cash on a money orde,
awaiting them at the post Office Money
orders might be made payable at a con.
sulate and all trouble and delay
avoided.
Briefly, an American desiring IT,
travel or remain in France will ado
greatly to his comfort and avoid man,
a difficulty by providing himself with
all the means of Identification"
