COTTON PRINTS ARE
GOING HIGHER

New York. Sept. 13.-The cotton
goods trust has advanced prices to a
point where even a calico dress will
be luxury for many New York wo-
men. The increase means that the wo-
man of great menas and her working
sister will have to pay not less than
10 cents a yard for prints which a
year ago cost at retail not more than
4 or cents.
This, too. despite a decline in the
price of rraw cotton, which only goes
to show how thoroughly the Fall Ri
yer combine. headed by Matthew c..
D. Borden, of this city, controls the
market for all print goods. Owing to
the high cost of the better qualities
of cotton and other dress fabrics, there
has arisen an enormous demand for
prints" The manufacturers are TAX
ing advantage of the demand.
Such prices are unprecedented in
the history of the dry goods trade.
The Bordens officially announced late
today that the wholesale price of the
prints" had been advanced to cents
a yard, TO take effect at once.

tary and his personal attorney, all
three stated that he told them before

one word of truth in the report, that
he had not resigned and had mo- inten-
ton of resigning and that 50 far as he
knew the board of directors and the
head of the fuel company were work
ing in complete harmony

pers were based on the showing of the

cording to the chief clerk, Mr.. Well
born, covered the last nine months II
Mr.. Hearn's administration and the
first three months of Mr.. wilbor's ad-
ministration and that Mr.. Wilborn
could not be held responsible for the
decrease because the most of it oc-
CURED during Mr., Hearne's adminis-
tration. All Of the officials OF the C.
F. & l. company In this city deny COM
pletely the story aud state that they
have no reason to know Why such
report should be published.

1t is noteworthy fact that it re-
duires less financial outlay to raise
a pound of poultry flesh than to pro-
duce the same weight of beef and in
considerably less time The chicken,
that is the representative poultry
bird, is comparatively easy to raise,
and during its growing period of only
about four months it does not require
nearly so much food, in proportion,
as the OK does. The chicken attains
its maturity in few months time
and is then ready to market, either
alive or dressed, at prices ranging
from seven to ten cents per pound;
while it requires from two to three
years for an OK to reach its best beef
value, and then it sells on the hoof
at only from four to seven cents per
pound; or dressed at an average of
about eight cents. In this must be
counted the cost of the care and feed
up to the time of marketing. Hence
the chicken is the better business
proposition of the two, for the gem
eral farmer. OF course, the value
of the OK as a producer of good stable
manure, during this period of growth,
is to be reckoled in his favor; while
the chicken, considered in this light.
has somewhat less value.-Indiana
Farmer.

Moving Hens.

Fowls are very fond of their home
and they very much dislike 90 be
moved. 1t is not a profitable busi-
ness to move them unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. If eggs are the
object sought it is very important
that laying hens should not be moved
from one location to another while
laying, as it will diminish the sup
ply of eggs. Where it is possible
to do so pullets that are intended as
layers should be brought up within
sight of the location they are to
occupy when they begin laying. On
the contrary, If it is desirable to de-
lay the laying of hen or a pullet
for any reason all that is necessary
is to move them from one locality to
another and the business is done.
This is sometimes done among fanc-
iers when it is desired that they put
their energies into growth instead
of eggs. Sometimes a broody hen
may be broken up by removing her
nest from one locality to another.
And especially is this true where new
companions are given her.

Breeders Notes.

Keep a good rasp handy and use it
judiciously in keeping the feet of the
colts level and of proper shape. Don't
let the toes become too long.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty. 1t is also indispensable in
order to keep the colts free from
worms and lice and their feet free
from thrush.
Don't neglect to cover the icy spots
in the yard or paddock with gravel,
loan or ashes. Slipping on such
spots may cause the ruin of a valu-
able colt or brood mare.
Don't keep the weanling shut up
in stalls and standing on hard floors
all the time. They need exercise in
the open air and on the earth every
day to keep their limbs strong and
their feet healthy.
A few dollars spent on each horse
consigned to the sales ring in putting
him in condition to show to the best
vestment Have the animals well
hammered, fat, sleek and we'll
groomed.
A foot pick is much more impor-
tant implement in the colt stable than
the currycomb or brush. When the
soles of the feet are picked clean and
washed every day there is little dan
ger that they will become affected
with thrush.
1t is more conducive to the health
and hardness of horse stock to be
kept in barns that are well ventil-
ated and not warmed by artificial heat
than in close and steam heated sta
bles. Pure air is as essential to pure
blood and good health as is pure food.
A tablespoonful of flaxseed meal
added to the grain ration of each
weanling colt every night will have
beneficial effect upon the bowels
and give a gloss to the coat. Money
spent for fiaxseed meal to feed to the
youngsters is an investment that will
pay fifty per cent. profit at least
