NEW YORK, March 4.-Tbe cotton mar
ket here opened steady today with prices
to 8 points higher than the previous
close in response to better cables than
due. favorable weather over the belt and
steadlneSs in spots also helped the ad-
vance. There was better demand at the
outset than has been for several days past
and the market is very steady with ap-
parently little cotton for sale. The SELL
ing came from a few ring SPECTATORS. but
of limited character. The larger spot in
terests were leading buyers. After the
call the market became barely steady with
prices receding some to points from
the opening, caused by scattered profit

the acreage for which was not report
ed.
The general character of Mississippi
agriculture is indicated by the fact that
about two-thirds (65.4 per cent of the
total value of crops in 1909 was CON
tributed by cotton, and somewhat less
than one-fifth QS,2 per cent? by ce-
reals. The remainder, representing
16.4 per cent Of the total, consisted
mostly of potatoes and other yegeta-
bles, forest products, and hay and for
age.
The value of crops in 1909 was 79.5
per cent greater than in 1899 this
increase being no doubt due in part
to higher prices. There was an in
crease of 1916 per cent in the total
acreage of crops for which acreage
was reported, the greatest absolute IN
crease being that in the acreage Of
cotton, while the greatest absolute de
crease was that in the acreage Of ce
reals.

MISSISSIPPI FARM PRODUCTS
STATE BULLETIN GIVING STATISTICS LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS


Washington, Jan. 20.-Statistics for
farm products for Mississippi are pre-
sented in bulletin soon to be issued
by Director Durand of the bureau of
the census, department of commerce
and labor. 1t was prepared under the
supervision of John Lee Coulter, eX-
pert special agent for agriculture.
The returns for live stock products
obtained at the census of 1910, like
those for crops, relate to the activi-
| ties of the calendar year 1909. 1t is
impossible to give total represent
ing the annual production of live stock
products for the reason that the to-
tai value of products from the busi-
ness of raising domestic animals for
use, sale or slaughter can not be cal
culated from the census returns.
Dairy Products.
The number of farms in Mississippi
reporting dairy COWS on April 5, 1910,
was 1S9,943, but only 1910 reported
dairy products in 1909. That there
should be this difference is not sur
prising. Doubtless some farmers who
had dairy COWS in 1910 had none in
1909, while other farmers neglected
to give information for the preceding
year, or we're unable to do so perhaps
because the farm was then in other
hands. Dairy products In general are
somewhat less accurately reported
than the principal crops This is par
ticularly the case as regards the guam
tity of milk produced. The number
OF farms which made any report of
milk produced during 1909 was 49,
931 (somewhat less than the total
number reporting dairy products), and
the number of dairy cows on such
farms on April 15. 1910, was $4,000.
The amount Of milk reported was 49,
079,000 gallons; assuming that there
were the same number of cows in 1909
rs in 1910, this would represent an
average of 224 gallons per COW. In con-
this average. however, it
should be borne in mind that the guam
Iity Of milk reported is probably de- !
'icient and that the distinction be-
.ween dairy and other cows is not al
ways strictly observed in the census {
.eturns. I

fowls on hand without reporting the
production of eggs. In order to make
the returns for 1909 comparable with
those published for 1899 similar esti-
mates have been made, the method
of estimate and justification therefore
being substantially the same as in the
case of WOOL The total production
of eggs in 1909, including these esti-
mates, was 20,542,000 dozens, valued
at $3,65S,0O0. The total production of
poultry in 1909, including estimates
made on the same basis as for eggs,
was 12,O7O,OO0 fowls, valued at
s3,249,O 900.
Animals Sold or Slaughtered.
The total value of domestic animals
sold during 1909 was $5,52O,OO0 and
that Of animals slaughtered on farms
$6,745,00O, making an aggregate of
$12,265,0OO This total, however, in
wolves considerable duplication result
ing from the resale or slaughter of
animals which had been purchased by
the farmers during the same year.
The value of all the cattle (includ-
ing calves sold during 1909 represent.
ed about three-fifths of the total value
of animals sold and the value of mules
sold represented about one-fifth of the
total.

Strawberries are by far the most
important OF the small fruit raised in
Mississippi. The value of the straw,
berry crop in 1909 was $lO1,SS2. The
total acreage of small fruits in 1909
was >36, and in 1899, 1,j49, a decrease
of 4G per cent. The production in 1909
was 140Io00 quarts, as compared with
I735,OO0 quarts in 1899, and the value
was 100000 in 1909, as compared with
$141 .099 in 1899.

sus bureau has made no attempt to
determine the total value of dairy prod
uets for 1909. For convenience a par
tial total has been presented compris-
ing the reported value of milk and
cream sold as such and sold on the
basis of butter fat and the reported
value of butter and cheese made,
whether for home consumption or for
sale. The total thus obtained for 1909
is $6,033,000, which may be defined as
the total value of dairy products eX-
elusive of milk and cream used on the
farm producing.
Only small proportion of the milk
reported as produced by Mississippi
farmers in 1909 was sold as such. The
butter made on farms in 1909 was
valued at $5,571 900.

Poultry.

The total number of fowls on Missis-
sippi farms on April Is, 1910, was s.
100000. or the 221 ,490 farms report
ing fowls, 43,63S did not report any
eggs produced in 1909, and 44,2S6 did
not report any poultry raised in 1909.
The production of eggs actually re-
ported for the year 1909 was 17,70O,OOO
dozens, valued at $3.151, 900. Accord
ing to the twelfth census reports the
production of eggs in 1899 was 49,
$4,000 dozens, the value being ST.
$4,000. The latter figures, however,
are somewhat in excess OF the actual
returns at that census, because they
include estimates made to cover those
cases where the schedules reported

than in 1899.

Wool.

The total number of sheep of shear
ing age in Mississippi on April Is,
1910, was 10000, representing a de-
crease of 1873 per cent as compared
with the number of June l, 1910 1885,
00O) The approximate production Of
wool during 1909 was $4,000 fleeces,
weighing 4S1.OO0 pounds and valued
at $122,0OO. OF these totals about 80
per cent represent estimates. The
number of fleeces produced in 1909
was 39.1 per cent less than in 1899.
The average weight per fleece in 1909
was 81 pounds, the same as in 1899,
and the average value per pound was
25 cents as compared with 10 cents
in 1899.

animals raised on the farms reporting
and the value of those slaughtered dur
ing 1899, which amounted respective
ly, to $2,208,0O0 and S4,S1S,000. The
item of sales is not closely comparable
with that for 1909, when the inquiry
covered all sales whether of animals
raised on the farms reporting or else
where. 1t is believed, however, that
in many cases the returns for 1899 also
included receipts from sales of ami
mails not actually raised on the farms
reporting.
Crops.
The total value Of crops in Missis-
sippi in 1909 was $147S16,OO0. OF this
amount 94.4 per cent was contributed
by crops for which the acreage as well
as the value was reported, the re-
mainder consisting Of the value of by
products (straw, garden and grass
seeds, etc., derived from the same
land as other crops reported, or of or
chard fruits, nuts, forest products, and
the like. The combined acreage OF
crops for which acreage was reported
was 6,15s,719, representing 6S.4 pei
cent of the total improved land in
farms (9,00S,310 acres). Most of the
! emaining improved land doubtless con
sisted of improved pasture, land lying
fallow, house and farm yards, and land

the railroad tracks, ready for a gate
to be opened to be let into the waiting
car.
All the way down these long slant
ing chutes the humps. of coal tumbled
and slid and fell; the elatter and
shuttle of the endless rushing black
stone over the sheet iron lining Of
the long trough drowned even the
sound of the whirling machinery and
the crunching of the mighty iron
teeth that ground the large blocks
into little bits while, above all, an
overhanging cloud of dust from the
sliding coal covered the black build
ing and the black young children
with an everlasting pail.
Over the top of the slanting chutes
was nailed row of little planks like
wide steps on mighty ladder. John
ny was told to sit on one of these lit
tie planks and put a foot on each
side of the chute and then, as the
Jumps of coal ran swiftly down be-
tween his legs, to snatch out the

them into another pitching trough at
his side. From the top of the great
breaker, down almost to the bottom,
sat this stairway of little boys, each
grabbing at chunk of slate as the
coal rushed madly by until it passed
the last boy and tumbled clean and
free from slate into the iron pockets
above the tracks!
1t took Johnny but a little time to
become a breaker boy. He had only
to learn the difference between slate
and coal and he had known this from
a child. True, it took some skill to
snatch the stone from the madly-
rushing black flood covered with its
dense black cloud of dust; but little
eyes are sharp, and little fingers are
nimble, and it was really remarkable
to see how this long line of little
hands would unerringly grasp the

ments and machine-like precision
seemed to him the beauty and rhyme
of a poem of perfect meter.
Mr. Fox had a daughter whom he
dearly loved. He fancied that she
had musical talent, and he found
her the most skllful teacher that
money could procure Sometimes he
stood by the piano and watched the
girl take lessons in finger develop
ment, and he nlarveled at her dexter
ity and skill; but when he paused for
a few moments beside the great, long
chutes and saw the black diamonds
rushing down into his great iron
pockets, and watched the little, def
hands of the breaker boys, he could
not help thinking that the piano was
not the only place to develop finger
movement. Still, that was about all :
he thought. Mr.. Fox was not bad
man. He was really good. He loved
his daughter and he intended to send
her to Paris and Vienna to complete
her studies when she was old enough,
and, really, every lump of coal that
rolled down the chutes proved now
fondly he loved the girl.
In few weeks Johnny was a full
fledged breaker boy. His mother
woke him at six in the morning. He
put on his oldest clothes, ate his
breakfast and went to the breaker.
Morning after morning he climbed
the long fight of stairs to the top of
the breaker. Morning after morning
he went down the ladder until he
found his little fiat seat, nailed across
the chute. Then he sat down on the
rough board, placed one foot on each
side of the trough and waited for the
flood of coal to come rafting down.
In front of him and behind him and
at the side of him were other little
boys, covered with the same black
pail that ever hung above his head.
