SMALL TRADING ON COTTON MARKET Market Closed Unchanged to 3 Points Up Compared
 With Yesterday

New Orleans, December M-Small trad- ing and narrow price changes featured the local cotton market today. There was no period of decided activity and much of the business appeared to be of an evening up-nature Professionals did most of the trading. little outside busi- ness coming in. The market closed un- changed to 8 points up, compared with the last prices of yesterday.
 Cables were better than due and in the early session prices stood to points up. Offerings increased and the most active months went l to points under yesterdays close Toward noon the mar ket steadied again on small buying in- duced by advices from Texas telling of firm spot markets and the trading months advanced 3 to points over yesterday s final figures. This was the high of the day. In the afternoon the market sagged off under the dullness.
 The local stock of cotton crossed the 100000 bale mark today, a fact which caused bearish comment.

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market was narrow and uninteresting today and of decidedly holiday character, and 1t Is likely to remain so. unless notice day on Mon day should mark another effort on the part of the bears to use the stock of as club to make a last desperate ef- fort to jar the holders of spots loose.
 If spots hold firm throughout next week, there is no power big enough to keep this market down. When I say this I do not mean we are going to see any spectacular advance, but steadily advancing trend
 Before very high prices are possible it will be necessary to reduce the huge

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The accompanying illustrations
show how the top of a peach tree may
often be removed so as to prolong the
usefulness of the tree for several
years. II peach tree is neglected as
to pruning during its early years and
the branches are allowed to become
long and slender; If, as it attains con-
siderable age, the bearing wood, in
spite of the pruning which it has re-
ceived, has grown out of convenient
reach in harvesting; or II for other
reasons 1t becomes desirable to re-
new the top of tree, 1t is usually
entirely practicable to do so, provided
the trunk and main limbs are sound
and healthy. ... ....
Fig. shows an eight-year-old peach
tree which has become rather "leggy."
The annual growth for several seasons
has nearly all been made near the
extremities of the limbs. Very little
new wood has grown in the interior
of the tree.
The same tree was severely headed
in, or "deheaded," with a view to de-
veloping new top, and Fig. is Sec
ond view of the tree shown in Fig. 1

as to cover all the cracks and joints.
The same style of finish is carried
through the parlor and den.
The particular pattern is usually Sc
lected by the owner of the building.
Fashion dictates that inside woodwork
shall be plain, no beading whatever,
and very few curves. Many expensive
rooms are finished with plain, straight
bands of wood instead Of holdings.
The Dashboard, window and door cas-
ings and the crown molding at the
ceiling may be light or heavy, but in
either case they are all plain, usually
with square corners.
The idea is to make the inside of
the different rooms smooth for easy
cleaning, both to save labor and to
prevent accumulations of dust, be-
cause dust harbors disease-carrying
bacteria, so that the health of the
family depends a good deal upon the
manner in which floors and other
woodwork are built into a house.
There is a double sliding door be.
tween the dining room and parlor,
which may be opened as occasion re-
quires to make the two rooms into

floor or baseboards. There is less OBJ
lection to floor registers than former
ly, when the doors were covered with
carpets. Still 1t is sometimes difficult
TO select a place for a floor register
which won't interfere with. some arti.
Gle of furniture. Usually wall regis
tiers are placed near door, because II
in necessary to keep the furniture
away from the doors, anyhow ~
In this plan the furnace pipes would
work into the different partitions
withou: making trouble anywhere.
The plan OF, building eight rooms
into a house as small as this is a
notable economy. The two upper
rooms are extra, as the space is taken
entirely from the roof. This arrange.
ment gives four bedrooms, besides the
den, which may be used for sleeping
purposes If necessary
The regular living rooms, parlor,
dining room and kitchen, are laid out
in the most approved order. The
kitchen is built in such way as to
save steps in the everyday work of

one. A great deal of the time this
door will be left open, which is a
benefit in the circulation of air for
ventilation. Houses Of this type are
so closely built that some means Of
disposing of the excess of air brought
in through the furnace is a problem.
In this plan the stairway door may
be left open, which will lead the air
t the upper rooms. An oper window
upstairs will complete the ventilating
system from the cold air box that sup
PLIES the furnace through the differ
ent warm air pipes and registers, SO
that the air will be kept in constant
motion.
This is one of the valuable features
of a warm-air furnace and one that is
seldom mentioned. In fact, some
way as to take the air from the front
hall or some other room in the house,
so as to use the same air over and
over again. II house owners under.
stood the advantage of taking fresh
air from outdoors they would refuse
to deal with a furnace man who advo-
Gated the self-contained inside circu-
lation Of foul air Misguided furnace
men get the idea that house may be
heated cheaper II the heating is done
with smaller-sized furnace, by
cheating the inmates Of the oxygen
that their lungs require.
Another feature about taking air
from the inside of house is the dry
ness of the air that has been passed
several times through the furnace. Be-
sides the extra load of carbonic acid
gas which it contains 1t is robbed Of
the moisture that helps to make out
door air so enjoyable.
There is a great difference in the
water that a warm-air furnace will
evaporate, according to the different
ways of setting the furnace. Air taken
from outdoors contains considerable
moisture, so that with proper ventila-
ton it goes through the house with
out loading up with much moisture
from the evaporating pan. All fur
naces are provided with receptacles
for the evaporating of water into the
air that passes through the furnace.
The comfort of house depends very
much on the amount of moisture con.
tanned in the house air.

housework into small quarters. Also.
the arrangement of the sink and

methods, suitable pruning, and wise
management in every respect, their
life of commercial usefulness is gen.
orally from about eight to nearly
twenty years after the full-bearing age
is reached. 1t varies, however, quite
widely under different conditions. In
some sections 1t is rarely profitable
to continue them after they reach the
age of twelve to fifteen years; in
others they are expected to last until
they are from fifteen to eighteen or
twenty years old, while occasionally
an orchard from twenty to twenty-five
years old is found which is still Of
commercial value. Instances Of indi-
vidual trees remaining productive un-
til much greater age are not uncom-
mon, but they seldom, if ever, repre-
sent orchard conditions.

Ordinary Tin Can.
(By L. E. SMITH.)


Cutworms work havoc on the new

the plants. Jack Frost comes along
and finishes what may be left.
To Offset these disasters we keep on
hand lot of cans lends removed by
heating) which we place over the
plants as we set them.
In case of danger from frost, a
handful of straw placed on top of the
can will ward off any ordinary frost.
The cans are not removed until fall.
In case of drought, one can fill the can
full of water and it will soak away
gradually.

and will save % per cent of your
plants from being destroyed.
