COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 13-After
opening lower the cotton market ral-
lied on weekend covering with jan
uary contracts selling up from I'LL
to !1.90 and closing at 11.SS. The gen.
eral list closed steady at a net ad-
vance of to Is points. Apprehensions
of unfavorable weather in the south
over Sunday and continued reports of
an improving spot demand appeared to
restrict offerings. and buyers evidently
found. very little cotton for sale around
the ring.
The market opened at decline of s
to points with March selling off to
11.92 and May to 1906 under liquida-
ton and scattering local pressure
which appeared to be inspired by rela-
lively easy cables, a bearish crop esti-
mate from foreign sources. and the
failure of the weather map to show the
freezing temperatures which have been
expected. The private cables report
ing that prominent English statisti-
clans estimated this years growth OF
American cotton at 12,300,000 bales,
indicated a probability that they would
be forced to reduce their estimate
placing the worlds consumption at
100000 bales. and these advices were
the early decline. The report Of the
census bureau showing domestic mill
consumption for October of 500.635
bales. excluding linters, against 4a.,-
oS9 last year or total consumption
of lint and linters for the month of
569,519 bales. against 4s2.0O1, was con-
sidered in line with bullish ideas. how
ever and buyers were also influenced
by favorable reports from the goods
trade, as well as by predictions that
freezing temperatures were likely in
the south. Demand did not become
general on the advance, but was suffi-
ciently active to send March con-
tracts up to 12.11 and March to 1925
with the general list selling about IL
to IA points net higher. The close was

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. November 13.-Cot-
ton stood at the advance during the
greater part of the session today on
buying stimulated by the census bu-
reau report on consumption by Ameri-
can mills for October. Bulls consid-
cred that the total of 50o,635 bales,
compared with Al, ,s99 bales year
ago. was an important indication OF
conditions in the mill trade The mar
ket closed within or 3 points of the
highest of the day at net advance OF
IL to - points.
On the opening prices were depressed
1 to 3 points by selling for short ac-
count and unloading of long cotton
Liverpool was not as high as due and
the weather map did not show expect
ed cold weather in the cotton country
The decline hardly lasted beyond the
first call, however. as the market soon
felt pressure to buy from the long side.
While the weather map was consid-
cred much better than expected. con-
siderable rain was reported over the
belt and another cold wave was indi-
Gated to the west of the cotton coun-
try. Fear that the wet weather and
this new cold wave might combine in
the cotton belt undoubtedly caused
some of the buying.

Old English Lotteries.
rom the London Chronicle.

From the london Chronicle.
On October Is, 1926. the last 'state
lottery" was drawn in England. From
the time of Queen Elizabeth lotteries
had been common in this country. and
at the close of the eighteenth century
they had become established by sue.
cessive acts of parliament and were
considered by chancellors of the ex-
chequer as perfectly legitimate means
of increasing the revenue. Indeed, at
the time they were abolished lotteries
were contributing to the state sum
to 100000 per annum. But
It was felt that the government should
no longer participate in an undertake

feet on the people. for this legalized
gambling Impoverished many and di-
yerted attention from the less exciting

Fattening for Market.

The best time for marketing turkeys
is from two weeks before Tharksgiv.
ing until the Christmas holidays This
means that young turkeys should be
fed an increased amount of corn from
about the first of November. 1t does not
pay to fatten them in confinement
They should be allowed their usual
range and fed four times daily. 1t is
especially important when fattening
turkeys that the last feed at night,
just before they go to roost, be abun-
dant. Whole corn is an ideal feed for
fattening them.
Large turkeys, weighing twenty
pounds or over when drassed. are usu-
ally old ones and are not as tender and
delicate as the smaller birds. In Sc
lecting a turkey to eat. it is wise,
therefore, to select one of medium
weight. The wing feathers also are an
indication of the age of a turkey. If
the points Of these feathers are sharp
it is a sign that the turkey is young;
il the points are rounded the bird is a
year old or more. The breastbone in
young turkeys Is soft and tender,
while in old birds 1t is hard. firm bone.
In the bronze variety the legs of the
young fowl are dark, almost black,
while in old birds they are Of a pink
ish shade.

! The total cost of the minor items of
equipment>needed on farm is much
greater than the average person is
wont to think. 1t has been found by
inventories taken on number of
farms that the tools and implements
actually needed on the average farm,
from wheelbarrow down to a husking
peg, cost nearly 5000.
Most of the bulbs sold by florists and
seedsmen in the United States are i'm
ported directly from the Netherlands,
the annual importations amounting to
nearly million dollars in value. In or
der to encourage the growing of Dutch
bulbs in this country on commercial
scale and to provide American grown
bulbs of superior quality. the Depart
ment of Agriculture established bulb
propagating garden near Be1lingham,
,, Wash, where the conditions of soil
and climate are similar to those in the
Netherlands, for the purpose of con-
Quoting experiments in the propaga-
ton, cultivation. harvesting. storing
and planting of these bulbs. 1t ap-
pears from the investigations that
have been conducted that American
grown tulip bulbs in forcing tests in
comparison with imported stock under
the same conditions are freer from dis
ease and blossom from five to seven
days earlier than the same varieties
imported from Europe: also that the
flowers produced from these bulbs have
! longer stems and are of better color
and quality than those from foreign
grown bulbs. Tulip and narcissus
bulbs can be propagated and grown
! successfully along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and in the region of the
great lakes, but owing to the cost of
labor only comparatively limited areas
have been planted. The largest areas
devoted to the growing of these bulbs
on commercial scale in this country
are in Virginia. Rhode Island. Wash
ington and California. A single grower
near Portsmouth, Va. has a planting of
sixty five acres of narcissus, and dur
ing the blossoming seasons ships daily

The turkey is In all probability the
only one of the domesticated fowls of
purely American origin. When the
early explorers first came to America
they found large focks of turkeys
roaming in the forests. The Spanish
explorers carried live specimens back
to Spain and in few years turkeys
were prolific in southern Spain. Sir
Walter Raleigh carried them to Eng
land.
The bronze turkey is the most popu-
lar and also the largest. A two-year-
old cock will frequently weigh as
high as fifty pounds The standard
weight required is thirty-six pounds.
A yearling cockbird should weigh
three pounds under this while a cock

Production of Turkeys.

No accurate figure of the production
of the turkey crop annually in the
United States is obtainable. but it will
run into millions-probably as high as
25.000.000. The main territory for the
production of turkeys is in the middle
south and southwest and also in a por-
ton of the central west, comprising
Kentucky. Tennessee, the northern
parts of Georgia, Missouri, Alabama.
Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, parts of
Texas, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. Their
are also large numbers of turkeys pro-
duced in Rhode Island, parts of Yer

Natural Hatching Best.

1t has been found Improbable to at
tempt to hatch turkey eggs in an in
cubator or to raise the young under
brooders. They should be Matched and
raised under natural conditions in or
der to do we'll Often when a turkey
hen has laid out her clutch" of about
twenty-five eggs she will start setting
on all the eggs. This is too many, and
she should not be allowed over twenty
eggs at most. The others should be set
under hens-ten to large hen. AS
soon as the poults are Matched out by
the chicken hens they should be given
te the turkey mother hen. 1t is best to
allow the turkey -en to make her nest
and to let her set and hatch where
she will.
The young turkeys do far better if
allowed to go with their mother hen
than with the chicken hen. For the
first two or three weeks the turkey
range. especially in damp grass and
weeds, but after that she may be al
lowed to range at will
The young pouits should not be fed
anything for twenty-four hours. Their
first feed should be some grit or coarse
sand. Then give them some dried bread
crumbs with which a small amount of
hard d-boiled egg has been chopped up.
Some successful raisers give each small
poult a grain of black pepper for the
first feed. Finely chopped onions, either
the bulb or stalk. are also good for the
first few feeds. For the first week the
bread crumb 1nd egg mixture should
be fed every three hours. After this
fine cracked wheat may be fed, and in
addition they can be given three times
a day a mash of cornmeal, wheat mid
ding and wheat bran, in equal parts

be fed very sparingly for the first three
weeks After three weeks cracked corn,
hulled oats and whole wheat may be

u. S. Trade and Commerce.

American bankers and business men
are becoming more and more convinced
of the favored commercial position of
the United States as compared with the
other nations of the world. While we
deplore the destruction of Europe's ma
terial wealth, to say nothing of her
prestige, it would be unnatural to re-
fuse the advantages which this great
war is thrusting upon our very shores.
Thus, in one short year the position of.
the United States with respect to Eu-.
rope has been changed from debtor to
that of creditor. 1t is estimated that
we have made advances to European
countries of nearly 100000, and
the great demand for our products has
caused an immense increase in the
value of exports over imports. SO that
the excess of exports over imports for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915. was
S, 900, 900, 900, and it is estimated that
for the next fiscal year ending June 80,
1916, such excesses will amount to ST.
600, 900, 900. Since January l we have
imported $325, 100000 gold. When the
war is over a very large portion of. our
exports, especially those resulting from
the sale of munitions Of war, will be
greatly curtailed. but in compensation

In breeding turkeys the vitality of
the stock is of more Importance than in
the breeding of any other poultry. They
have been inbred very largely, and
many of the troubles Of turkey raising
is caused by this inherited weakness
In selecting breeding stock, only
thrifty. well developed males and fe-
males, weighing within a pound or so
of the standard requirements, should be
chosen. 1t Is seldom advisable to use
birds that run over stanSard weight.
In mating turkeys none under twenty
months old should be used for breeders,
while birds that are two years old
are far better. 1t certainly will not
pay to hatch from them in their first
year, and they should be carried over
at least until the second year. Tur-
keys can be used for breeding from
five to six years. as they are longer
lived than chickens. In mating one tom
should be mated with not to exceed
ten hens. while six to seven Is pro-
ductive of better results.

Selection of Breeding Stocks.

The two most important things for
raising turkeys are an abundance of
free range where they can wander
over the fields and through the woods
and thus secure a large part of their
living and an abundance of cheap
grain, like corn. Corn is an ideal feed
after the poults Gas young turkeys are
called) are about half grown.
No expensive houses or costly build
ings are needed, as they will do best
if allowed to roost in the trees. or on
poles laid under a tree. If desired to
protect them at all from snow and
storms, shed open on all four sides
will be sufficient. For breeding young
stock in the summer, while the hens
are setting and Matching, and for the
first few weeks after the hatch is COM
pleted, small box or barrel to protect
them from the storms is all that is
