TIME mo- PLANT CORN.

Early planting of corn is desirable.
provided the soil is in the proper con-
dition. Corn is a very sensitive plant
as regards cold, heat, drouth and in
sect depredations.. 1t is essential
that corn be given a favorable start
so it may have fair chance should
drouth come, which often does.
Corn responds readily to favorable
conditions and for this reason it is a
good crop upon which to test the pro-
ductive capacity of soils. When the
soil is described as being capable of
rroduming and does produce 20
bushels, so bushels or even so bush
els OF corn per acre an ordinary year
it gives a fair idea of the fertility of
the soil. With such Information one
may use fertilizers or manure with
greater intelligence.
But early planting is not desirable
If conditions are unfavorable. On
cold, wet soils where frost fingers
or where the drouth is expected ex-
ceptionally early it may be advisable
to plant early. In some sections May

in cool, dry cellar or other similar
place. Don't allow them to become
damp Turn them over once week
Mixed breeds produce mixed
grades of eggs, some large, others
small; some white, others brown.
II you have mixed breeds you should
at least separate the white and the
brown eggs before snding them to
market. Sell the brown eggs to one
customer and the white eggs to an
other
For producing fertile eggs, guar

chickens in the early spring, not
more than ten hens should be pro-
vided for one male. After May first

with diseases of the eye, the ear,
bronchitis. which is frequently so
severe that it becomes forerunner
of bronco-pneumonia, and. oftentimes
of tuberculosis.
In scarlet fever the complications
are more or less serious in about
one-fourth of all cases. There is lit
tie danger of eye trouble, but the
affections of the ear are common, as
are also rheumatism and kidney dis
eases.
With the exception of whooping
cough we have no antitoxin, or Sc
rum, that is recommended, either in
the way of treatment or as a pre-
ventive. With whooping cough the
remedy has many friends. and few
who have tried it are inclined to be
doubtful.
Most of these children's diseases
are spread through contact of child
with child in school. at children's
parties, picture shows, etc. Compul-
sorry attendance at school often
means compulsory exposure to dis
ease. Is is of the greatest conse-
quence that parents and school au-
thorities understand fully their own
responsibility. All children showing
acute catarrhal symptoms should be
excused until they present a physic-
fans certificate to the effect that
there is no danger in allowing them
to be in school Even while at home
this afflicted member of the family
should be kept to himself if it is
possible to do so. The parent should
see that his child does not attend
school while suffering from an acute
cold
While we have not mentioned dip
liberia with these other diseases, yet
diptheria presents some of these
symptoms mentioned among its early
symptoms. At the same time it can
be contracted by coming in contact
with another child with the disease,
or by coming in contact and inhal-
ing, or breathing. their cough spray
or drinking from the same cup, OF
using the same lead pencil and such
other articles as may come in contact
with their mouth, or nose, and throat

bility for health officers to control
measles, whooping cough, and scarlet
fever, yet much can be done If al
parents and all principals and
teachers can be made awake to tbs
danger from these diseases. If thi.
can be done their prevalence will bt
greatly diminished and fully half tho
deaths that occure would be avoided

THE WEEK IN COTTON MARKET.
nv walter Parker. }

NBy waiter faTkeT.)
New Orleans, March 21.-Return
of cold weather to the early cotton
producing sections was the most inn
portant development in the cotton
market this week, but greater prom
inence was given the final census re-
port of ginnings for the season of
13,964,,931 bales, plus 639,795 bales
of linters, total of 14,604,776. Es-
Inmates of consumption range be-
tween 14,75O.OO0 and 15,OOO,O0O
bales. The average grade of this
seasons crop is below the normal,
consequently the loss by reason OF
lighter bales is augmented by excess
i've waste when spinners work up
this seasons cotton.
The Inter report sheds some ad-
ditional light on the quality of the
supply of seed obtained from the
1894 crop. Most people believe
the quality of the seed carried over
into 1914-15 is very poor In GER
tain sections the supply of desirable

seed is known to be very small. But
the Inter returns do not seem to In
dictate poor seed over the belt as a
whole This year 1855 tons of seed
were required to make one bale Of
linters, as against 7.6O tons last
year The Texas figures are $50
tons this year, as against 6.46 tons
last year. SO it would seem that the
roor seed are mostly in Texas.
Choice linters are now quoted at
K 1-2 cents. and low grade llnters at
/ "a cents in the New Orleans mar
ket.
Cold weather on March 90 over
the early producing sections disposes
of all hope for an early start. This
has. of course. given rise to the be-
lief that less new cotton will come
into sight in July and August this
year than last. If such proves to
be the case, the commercial crop, as
per Hester. will drop below the total
ginnings and linters. which aggre-
gate 14.604,776 bales.
Meanwhile. spinners' takings con-
tinue to run larger than the average
supply per week for the remainder of
the season, and now stand at 1O.-
125,O0O bales. as against 9,s63,0OO
bales to this date last year.
While the worlds visible supply OF
American cotton is some 100000
bales greater than last year, it is
600. 900 bales less than two years
aro at this time.
Exports to date amount to 1900
277 bales. or 100000 bales greater
than to even date last year.
At the close Friday the May de-
livery was quoted at 1857 at New
Orleans, and 1919 at New York.

ten is desirable to plant over when
cold and other factors retard and
stunt the early planting.
The only safe way to determine
when to plant is to keep records for
number of years. This will give
fair idea as to the best time to
plant, but It will not be infallible, as
the seasons differ so widely that they
make it necessary to deviate.
Early planting often suits the plan
of farm management. as it will per-
init one to adapt the other crops in a
measure to the corn crop. SO when
cultivation is demanded other crops
will not interfere with corn cultiva-

HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
(By DR.. J. C. Mahr.)

There are six contagious diseases
that are considered and spoken of as
"children's diseases" The six are
as follows:
Measles.
Second-Scarlet Fever.
Third-whoopin Cough.
Fourth, Mumps.
Chicken-pox.
Sixth-German Measles.
OF these the first three are OF
special importance, that are always
dangerous and sometimes fatal. All
of them are highly contagious. 1t is
rare for them to occur with a child
under six months. From six months
TO five years they occur very fire
quently, and are less common after
the tenth year. 1t must not be sup
posed that children are especially
susceptible to these children's dis
eases. All persons may be attack
ed when first exposed. no matter
what age.In early life children are
very susceptible to disease for the
reason that their powers of resist
ance are not as great as the power
of resistance of adults, and again.
adults have acquired immunity from
these diseases because of attacks in
early childhood.
These children's diseases are prev
alent at all times. Nearly everyone
has measles and whooping cough.
About one-half the population escape
scarlet fever. Although these affec-
tions are commonly considered mild,
there are many fatal cases. These
diseases are caused. beyond doubt,
by some form of mlcro-organisms
and the principle source of infection
occurs through the nasal passages
and through the throat The cough
spray and talk spray and the dis
charges of the nose are infectious
This is true of measles and whOop-
ing cough, and of scarlet fever to a
great extent, although scarlet fever
epidemics sometime arise through
milk contaminated by particles Of
peeling skin, and again by fomites
carried by bookS linen, toys and bed
clothing. o.
\. or these six diseases measles and
wheoping cough are the most con
tagious. Whooping cough is extreme
ly contagious. Measles, scarlet few
er and whooping cough are frequent
iy followed by complications that dc
great injury. Whooping cough is
characterized by severe general
ocatarrh of the air passages. This
renders such complications as Bron.
co-pneumonia and catarrh-pneumon-
ia very easy. With whooping cough
severe various nervous disturbances
follow such as the following indicate,
The child is easily frightened; IS
afraid OF the dark and is even afraid
10 be alone in a room during the
day time. He is easily upset, and
may show by a twitching of the eyes
that his nervous system is not in a
state Of equilibrium. These may
follow even mild attacks Of diseases
and it may be number of months
or even years, before the child re-
covers it's normal condition.
Measles is frequently complicated

Encourage your children TO take
an interest in the garden and the or
chard. Gardening and orcharding
are the refined of agriculture and
they appeal to young people more
than ordinary work in the field. BY
giving the children garden you may
start them into some special line OF
horticulture that will mean fame and
honor to them.

Be fair to the incubator Do not
complain or censure the manufacture
er for a poor hatch until you give his
machine a square deal. Poor hatch
es, we have found from experience,
are usually the result of our own
carelessness. Sometimes the eggs
are at fault, but oftener 1t is lack Of
attention to the incubator. Follow
instructions carefully, then IL you
have a poor hatch you can find the
reason.

LY SURRENDERS.

Buray, Va, June 22.-After pro-
lonSed parleying between fourteen
deputy sherffs of Madison county and
Charles ID. Sisk. an escaped desperate
OF that county. the latter was cap
tured in the wlds of the Blue Ridge
mountains, fourteen miles east OF
Luray, between 2 and / O'Clock yes
terday.
Officers OF Madison county for sew
eral days had been on the trail OF
Sisk, who escaped from the tail OF
that county several months ago and
had since been hiding in the noun
tains. He was found at the home of
relative, the fourteen officers ap-
preaching the dwelling from different
directions He refused to surrender
to the officers until he was informed
that the building would be burned
over his head and In the event Of his
attempting to escape he would meet
certain death from the officers rifles
The posse had instructions to cap
ture him dead or alive.
When Sisk finally gave in TO the
officers 1t was found that he was pro-
yided with a small arsenal He was
closely guarded by the fourteen Of
ficers until daylight, when he was
taken to Madison courthouse.
Stsk has several murders charged
to him. the last being the killing of
william Dodson about one year ago.
He was captured for this offense in
Luray by half a dozen deputy sheriffs
OF Madison county, assisted by Luray
officials,
