resented. The city auditorium has
been secured for the convention, as
the Masonic temple is by far too
small to accommodate the members.
The auditorium will seat at least
1900, while the capacity of the Ma
sonic temple is less than one thous-
and. Next Monday meeting of the
public property committee of the
grand lodge will be held in Macon to
determine upon what should be done
in regard to a new temple. 1t will
probably be decided to remodel the
Macon building. 1t is estimated that
this can be done for a cost of not
over 100000 The grand lodge is re-
ported by Grand Master Meyerhardt
as having $4,000 in the treasury at
present.

REUNION SURVIVORS
OE LIGHT BRIGADE.
TWenty-Eight Left From I'm
mortal Charge.

LONDON, October 23.-(SpeciaD- -
Twenty-eight survivors of the charge
of the Light Brigade, immortalized
by Tennyson's poem, will join Fri
day in celebrating the anniversary of
that famous encounter. The event
will be rendered notable by the coll
lection of fund for the benefit of
the survivors, nearly all of whom
are poor.
1t was on October 25, 1854, just fif-
ty-three years ago, that Lord Lucan,
commanding the British cavalry, az
Balaklaya, through a misconception
of the orders of the commander-in-
chief, Lord Raglan, directed Lord
Cardigan to make the historic charge.
With a battery in front and one on
each side, $40 horsemen hewed their
way past the guns and routed the Rus
sian cavalry. OF the $40 only 1873
"all that was left of them rode back
to the British lines.

The last hope of the bulls went out
when Liverpool came IS lower on con-
tracts and Is down on spots. All
Europe has turned against the maEr
ket. Our session has been a tragedy
There was some slight hope until
Houston wired that Texas holders
had lost heart and were selling. After
this there was not a buying order in
the market and values simply col
lapsed. Heavy Withdrawals from To-
cal banks added to the distress OF
the bulls whose cross has now be-
come too heavy to carry. Ordinarily
the South comes to the support Of
their great product in times like
these, but just now the South is sell
ing cotton with great confidence. Cot
ton goods were slaughtered today
and rumors of failures among the
large jobbers set the trade agog. Op-
inions are of little value just now

mism and hysteria has run its course

COTTON CONTRACTS
BREAK SHARPLY
Local Spots in Better De-
mand in Afternoon.

Gloom enveloped the cotton con-
tract markets yesterday on account
of the continuation of the havoc in
the financial market, and prices again
sought lower levels. Liverpool was
demoralized both in futures and
spots. Added to this a little later
were reports of letting loose of cot
ton by Texas farmers and this swept
away the last vestige of bullish
enthusiasm. Before the day was ov-
err however the market firmed up on
an improvement elsewhere and the
losses since the opening were gener-
ally regained and in some positions a
little added.
The opening was at losses of IL to
Is points for New York and 20 to Fl
points for New Orleans, due to the re-
ports from the English market and to
the Wall street conditions. Prices
showed some bOuyancy after the ope-
ming but soon eased off on rumors OF
Texas selling. The loss was regain
ed in all positions except December
at New York. The close was Is to %
points net lower at New York for the
active months and IS to 20 points
lower at New Orleans. Spots in the
former market were quoted 30 points
lower, and at New Orleans Is cent
off. Savannah was 3-16 of cent low
er.

points, while futures were II to is

Local Market

published quotations are reduced u
of a cent from the previous day, good
middling being quoted at 107s cents,
During the morning some business
was transacted on basis of 101s
cents, with the demand poor. In the
afternoon buyers were more interest
ed in securing supplies, and in some
instances were willing to pay 1875
cents for good middling, with other
grades in proportion. Sales were
made on this basis, but the demand
was not sufficient to clean up the To-
cal stock. Planters and factors were
inclined to hold a part of the cotton
for better prices. The receipts for
the day by wagon were S05 bales.

Chicks from the Incubator

The new years incubator catalogs are
available, and the time is right to decide
whether to adopt the artificial method next
spring of making broilers or to continue
doing business with the old hen. If the
former, and we are not experienced in incu-
bator lore, it would be wise, probably, to
be guided by someone who knows the
various merits of the hot air and the hot
water systems and the other intricacies of
the incubator question, and also as to the
selection of the type of brooder which will
be most efficient. Ii is to be assumed that
we know the breed we want to raise =
Light Brahma' Barred Rocks, Buff Rocks,
Leghorns, or whatever. Suppose we say
White Leghorns one of the best LAYING
fowls bred. There is little trouble in hatch
ing fair percentage OF the eggs you put in
an incubator - seventy-hve or eighty per
cent will do very we'll for the amateur,
possibly he may get eighty-five per cent,
if he has good judgment and watches the
machine carefully, keeping it at 1o2 deg.
F. or thereabouts. Raising the chicks,
however, is another matter A dry cellar
is an excellent location for an incubator,
providing it has good ventilation. The
indoor brooder should be so situated as to
receive outside light, at the same time
the temperature for its location need not
be high, for there is almost as much danger
OF overheating the young chicks and
either smothering or weakening them in
the brooder, as there is of cooking the
eggs in the incubator This brooder will
provide for the first two weeks of the
chicks career. Then there must be pro-
vision for getting them out into the open.
Before the eggs are Matched it will be we'll
to begin on an outdoor colony house or
two, as the weather of early March will
require good warm quarters for chicks
deprived of natural mothers. 1t is well
to use tongue and groove material and to
roof them tightly with tar paper or better
still, asphalt paper, which does not disin-
tegrate. The front of the house should
have a good-sized window and door,
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1907-01-03

while the height OF the house itself may be
six feet. The colony houses, with small
range, enclosed in chicken netting will
carry the hatch along for three or four
weeks longer, when regular hen house
will answer the purposes of the young
flock. From this time on its management
is not particularly different from that of
any lot of chickens. There must always
be warm. tight house for the chickens to
stay in, during the cold nights of spring
and in bad weather, with a good scratching
place, well-lighted and airy, and somewhat
closer attention is necessary than when
raised by hens. For instance, on farm
where the hen takes the place of the incu-
bator and brooder, the youngsters are
seldom troubled by the farm cats. The
latter always receive warm welcome from
the hens which are brooding chickens, so
that the cats seldom get into the habit of
chasing the chicks. However, where there
is no watchful mother to fly at the prowl-
ing feline, the latter will begin her work
of ultimate destruction by plavfuly
chasing the chickens through the grass
apparently enjoying their fright, as she
springs. Receiving no chastisement from
an angry mother, the cat gradually be
comes holder until there is finally fatal
spring, and once having tasted young
chicken, the only remedy is death for the
little domestic tiger
The question of feeding is one OF course
Astounding in possibilities For any one
familiar with bringing up chickens by
the old method, the problem will not be
serious one, as the incubated chicken is
but slightly different from the natural pro-
duct. The same can be said of the gen
eral treatment of the houses and brood
ers. They should Of course be kept clean,
sprayed well with Kerosene emulsion or
whitewash, while the ground inside and
out of the houses should be kept whole
some by renewal of dirt floors and straw
or trash among which the food is scattered
to induce exercise in feeding. In the
runs, quick growing crops, like oats, may
