FARMERS ENCOURAGED TO

From the New York Herald.
 Fish as a farm product may be an ac- complished fact in the near future. as the government Is doing considerable mis- sonary work with the hope of inducing farmers with suitable land for the purpose to embark in this industry a side is- sue Thousands of acres of land unsuit- able for agriculture or other established industries might be made 10 yield fish.
 and this movement might help to bring down the cost of living. 1t Is very common to see ponds, swamps and small sheets of
 water lying useless and marshy meadows producing nothing except small quan- tity of inferior grass. With a small
 amount of labor and capital such places
 might be transformed into ponds, which.
 aside from their value for fish culture.
 would be of material benefit to farmers

Interesting Gossip of Trade Among Birmingham Com

There was a great scarcity of ripe tomatoes in Birmingham yesterday Dealers were depending on the ar rival of Florida and Mississippi ship ments, but upon the arrival of two tirely too green for present consump- tion.

New York June 12.-The cotton mar ket was quiet today and fluctuations were narrow and irregular. with the close steady at a net decline of l to points.
 Liverpool was again slightly lower than due on the New York close of yester- day, but there were few overnight buy ing orders around the local ring, and after opening at a decline of points to an advance of points, active months sold about to points net higher The firmness of the stock market encouraged the optimistic view of general conditions while reports from Fall River indicated increasing mill activity and strengthened conditions of bullish census figures giv- ing domestic mill consumption for the month of May on Monday morning There seemed to be some foreign and southern buying on the early advance, while there were also rumors of a little buying for the account of spnners, but demand was limited and while the generally favorable weather and crop advices failed to inspire any important selling, prices eased off under scattered realizing for over the weekend. The close was at the low point of the day. Private cables reported a small market in Liverpool Weekly crop reviews read favorably on the average although the presence of boil weevil in Alabama was noted and there appeared to be few criticisms of the weather map and forecasts.

Mites are more serious that lice, because they breed much faster. Mites live on the hens only at night, going off on the roost and walls of the building during the day. The lice stay on the hens all the time. To kill mites the roosts, rest boxes. dropping boards, the walls of the buildings and the floors must be sprayed with a powerful disinfectant or kerosene oil. If oil is used on the nest boxes, care must be taken to allow 1t to dry off before they are used or the eggs will taste of the oil. All droppings, litter. dirt on the floors. in boxes and dropping boards must be re- moved. The spraying should be repeated weekly for several weeks until not mite remains. Lice are found usually under the vent, on the hips and around the roots of the tail of the hens A dusting with a good louse powder will remove them. If the flock Is too large to handle, lice can be kept down below the line of much harm by providing dry dust bath. In this the fowls will cleanse themselves of most of the lice.
 The dust bath may be made of low sided dry goods box filled with road dust into which has been mixed some coGl ashes, small amount of lime. and a few tabespoonfuls of powdered sulphur Place this dust bath in a dry sunny corner of the henhouse
 How to Treat "BroOdy" Hens
 A serious disadvantage to a good sum- mer egg yield is broody hen. Not only is she losing time when she gets broody time that she should be producing val. uable eggs-but if the eggs carry fertil, germs. or the males have not been re- moved, she Is damaging the eggs. Foi these reasons the most valuable producers of eggs are those breeds known as mon. stters." because they show little or nc disposition to become broody. The single comb White Leghorn has demonstrated her superiority as a non-stter and is

 to cool off the broody habit. This coop
 should have slated bottom to allow air to pass freely through and prevent her making a comfortable nest. She should be placed in the coop the first night she shows her broody disposition and kept there for a day or two, then released.
 and if still hroody returned to the coop.
 As all this requires time and patience, 1t Is far better to use the non-sitter where eggs are the object.
 By practicing the best methods not only can the egg producer get a better price, but he can get more eggs and at a time when they are produced easiest and at the least cost
