NEW YORK STOCKS.


 New York, Feb. 14.--Speculative in- terest shifted from the stock ex- change to other quarters today and trading Jagged far behind its usual proportions. Price movements for the most part were without importance. Wall Streets chief interest lay in an nouncements of important new inan- cling and in the tempestuous course of speculation in the commodities market.
 A brief period of strength at the opening of the stock market, due ore. sumably to accumulation of buying orders over the holiday, sent some is sues to new high points for the pres ent movement, but opening gains were marked of quickly. and the list set tied down for a dull, quiet day. The Canadian stocks and the Gould group, particularly Missouri Pacific. were the features of the market.

STATEWIDE GAME LAW.

There are 75 counties in Arkansas, and the game law is probably inter- preted 50 different ways, to please the fancies of the various communi- ties It would require all the atten- ton of one man all the time to be able to keep within the written game law, fl the man happened to be a sportsman who ranged about through out the state.
 1t is apparent that all the people of the state do not want the same game law, but the boundaries of Arkansas are not so great. but that one good sane game law could be written on the statute that would cover the sit nation to the satisfaction of all.
 One game law. which would soon become well known to all sportsmen' would probably be obeyed. Fifty-seven varieties of game law in single csm. monwealth suggests big joke to a sportsman, and they are all taken lightly.
 There are many more Import ant matters before the legislature than this game law incident. but the game law serves as the best example of how efforts are wasted in the state legislature over strictly local affairs, when there is so much general legis- lation needed.

MILLIONS or LIVES.
An Awful Toll Collected by consump-
 ton. Many Unnecessary Deaths.

If people could only understand tlat systematic catarrh is an internal dis ease that external applications cannot cure. they would not need to be warn cd so often about this nnalady, which, when neglected, pavas the way often times for consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet ca tarfh may be cured. if the right treat ment is employed.
 The only way to successfully treat catarrh Is by employing medicine which is absorbed and carried by tae blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or inter- nal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of resisting the infec- ton of consumption and other dis. eases.
 We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made ca tarrh a speciality, and whose record was patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Muou-Tone. We are so post tive that it will completely overcome cartarrh in all it's various forms, whether acute or chronic, that We promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where 1t fails or for any reason does not satisfy the ser.
 We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk wlen you try Rex all Mucu Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu.Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and $100 Very often the talk ing of one 50-eent bottle is sufficient to make marked impression upon the case. Of course in chronic cases longer treatment is necessary. The average in sucn instances is three $l.00 bottles. Remember you can ob- tain.

NEW YORK COTTON.

Now York, Feb l4.-There was a further sharp decline in the cotton market today, all the active months making new low records for the move ment and while tae close was very steady at a rally of several points from the lowest. last prices showed a net loss of from IA to 20 points.
 The market opened easy at de cline of l2 to 21 points under bear pressure ana liquidation following the weakness of Liverpool over the local holidays unsatisfactory reviews of the domestic mill situation and reports that further rains had occurred in the southwest.
 Southern spot markets as officially reported were unchanged to 1-4c low CT compared with last Friday. The days movement and estimateh for to- morrow's receipts at leading points showed no immediate falling off such as was predicted last week and prona- bly, the continued heavy receipts, to- gether with the less favorable Lan- cashire advices and the report of in- creasing curtailment among domestic mills are responsible for the bearish average Of sentiment and the fear ot some change in the attitude of re- maining long interests, bota in futures and spots.
 Receipts at the ports today were P ,40S bales against S4.l64 last week and 22,73S last year. For the week 10000 bales against l77,i7S last week and 104,592 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans were 6,632 bales against 3,04i last year, and at Hous- ton 4,5o9 bales against s,550 last rear

much the better. as there will be
fewer holes in the skin.
The rule is that any month con-
tanning an "r' is suitable for trapping.
This Is true; but in all temperate
climates fur is not prime as early as
September. One must be guided
largely by local climatic conditions in
selecting the proper season for trap
ping. and also learn that the furs Of
some animals become prime" later
tn. n that of others.
If the flesh side Of fur turns a
dark blue after being stretched a day
or two. one should stop trapping until
the weather Is cooler. as blue furs
bring only about half the price of
prime ones.
The one thing to remember in
trapping for an animal is to study that
animal, its habits. haunts and food.
and trap for it accordingly.
We do not favor den trapping for
any animal. because the first catch
may scare all the other inmates Of
the den until they will leave and seek
other quarters.
When a den IS located we prefer to
trap short distance away in the
paths and runways leading to and

Common game traps are now used

For general purposes we find a

be very satisfactory, (some use l u
for raccoon and similar sized ami
mals.)
Where beaver, otter and such large
animals are Sought. larger traps must
Of course be obtained.
It is also desirable to provide some
sort of small firearms for dispatching
the animals after being captured. A
22-caliber revo.7er is we'll adapted to
this. as any larger ball would damage
the skin and lower its value.
Always shoot the animals about the

though occasionally an old bird will
be found whose skin is almost as soft
as that of q youngling.
A young bird will show rose-colored
veins on the surface Of the skin and
under the wings. and there will also
be long silky hairs growing there. The
veins and hair disappear after one
year and the skin turns white. The
breast-bone also become hard and
cannot be bent as in growing bird.
The skin of fowl past one year be-
comes coarse and dry. and these

SUCCESS WITH THE CHICKS.

The most important thing in start
Ing young chicks is to refrain from
feeding them single atom Of food for
at least SO hours. Nature has filed
their little stomachs before they left
the shell and II they are stuffed as
soon as they appear. many will die.
Give them plenty of water and after
SO hours feed them lightly on fine
rolled oats or coarse corn meal, then.
just as soon az they show strength ana
vigor let them run on the tender.
short grass for a little while every day.
Watch for lice from the start and
II any are found on the heads or under
the wings, touch the spots lightly with
lard or vaseline. Having started right
by following the above directions the
success depends upon the fidelity with
which you manage the flock until they
become full-hedged or are ready to
be sent to the market.

Little data IL available which would
render possible anywhere near n cor
rect estimate Of the loss Of and injury
to trees. young and old. through the
work Of mice. rabbits and wood
chucks. While the loss is confined
principally to newly set orchards. re-
plants in older orchards and the
younger plantations generally, this
IL S. In the aggregate, Is considerable.
It certainly would not be far beyond
the bounds OF conservatism to figure
the loss and injury at. one DOLE per
acre per year including all ages and
conditions Of apple. pear and plum
orchards.
The rate of loss would be less than
thia in the large commercial planta-
lions, even where the grass-mulch
method Of culture is practiced: for
the commercial planter generally
takes into consideration the various
sources Of danger and makes provi-
sion to meet these with effective
means Of protection. With the aver
age home orchard the danger is great
er than in the large plantation. and
the possible means Of protection more
generally disregarded or overlooked.
II young trees be girdled In late

In bridge-grafting, the wounds
should be made clean and smooth

SHOULD THE BOBWHITE BE
KILLED OUT?

They most certainly should not be
killed out. On the other hand they
will repay bountifully all effort ex.
pended in protecting them and favor
ing their increase. The farmer should
never allow more to be shot for game
than the surplus stock, being sure to
leave plenty Of birds for the next
years nesting. The live birds on tho
farm are worth much more than tho
dead birds on the table however well
they may be cooked.
The Bobwhite or Quail IS naturally
trustful and where undisturbed be.
comes remarkably tame. He. will rear
his young and spend his days close to
human Dwellings. adding cheer by his
merry whistle. More important than
this, however, from the money stand

bait and proper places to trap for
each individual animal will be neces-
sary.
Mink-Haunts streams. Especially
active around bridges, culverts and
drifts. Feeds on fish, birds and all
small animals any Of which make
good bait-the fresher the better. Set
trap along the edges Of streams. two
to four inches under water. Bait traps
as directed. Secrete the traps in rum
ways, underrroots and driftwood along
streams, where the animals are apt
to pass. Disturb things as little 40
possible. splash water over your
tracks to remove signs and kill human
scent. Handle the traps :, 18th gloves
on.
N-uskrat-Haunts streams. Lives
mostly on fish. frogs. roots etc. Po-
tatoes or carrots make good bait. al
though we do not consider bait at all
necessary, and find the muskrat ,ex-
tremely easy to capture. Still, one
must know how. Trap at.the foot Of
slides and rear the waters edge whore
they frequent. carefully settling some
