NEW ORLEANS. November 27.-The
cotton market was strong and active
in the early trading today. prices being
at the advance until pressure from
weekend realizing was felt In the
first half hour of business the active
months moved up % to Sc points. For
while the gain was held. but profit =
taking sales gradually became large
enough to bring about reaction. From.
the highest there was a fall of IL to ~
points. The close was steady at a net
gain for the session of 10 to 20 points.
The advance was chiefly based on the
spectacular and unexpected rise I'm
Liverpool, which stood nearly $3.50 a
bale higher than due on its close. The
higher price for silver and better &C
counts generally from the spot market
were features that increased bullisn
sentiment and stimulated buying
Shorts continued to cover at the adj
vance, and little fresh short selling
appeared to be coming in, although
bearish comment was to the effect tina :
the advance of the last three days had
been too rapid.

AMATEUR P0ULTRyMAN

Knowing Layers Is First Step to

BY PROF, HARRY r.. LEWIS. :.
BY PROF. HARRY r. LEWIS.


Pedigree poultry breeding is term
which means the keeping of breeding
records which will enable the poultry
man to determine the exact lineage. or.
as it were, the genealogy of his birds. The
Importance of individual egg records to
a poultryman who desires to build up
his flock in reference to egg production
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The keeping of records from individ-
ual birds makes it possible to eliminate
inferior individuals, and in the same
way to breed only from superior ones
Pedigree breeding and the establish
ment of different lineage necessitate
four operations: First, the making OF
special matings, using small number
of females and one male: second. the
trap nesting of the flock throughout
at least the winter and spring months:
third, the marking of Matching eggs
and pedigree hatch, and, lastly. the
permanent marking of all pedigree
Matched chicks. Trap nests, If inteili
gently used. aid in picking out the best
producers and eliminating the poor

How Belle of Jersey Was Produced.

Belle of Jersey, record hen. bred at
the New Jersey agricultural experiment
station, was the definite result of trap
nesting birds for over period Of two
years In 1911 trap nests were placed
in pen of leghorns, the pedigree Of
which was unknown. The use of these
nests during the winter and spring showed
thu. presence of one hen, No. roc, which
was a remarkably good winter layer. pro
ducing seventy eggs during the cold
months 1t il needless to say that the
eggs which this bird laid during the spring,
al which time she was mated to a strong.
vigorous cock bird, were Matched. and
from this mating a few most excellent
ccckerels were secured.
TIE best of these cockerels were mated
back TO his mother No. 70-G, and Belle
of Jersey. which laid over 246 eggs her
first year, 225 her second year, $50 her
third year, and over 100 eggs her fourth
year. was produced.

nest it is impossible to identify the eggs.

Description of Trap Nest.

The improved Connecticut trap nest
shown in the accompanying diagram is
provided with swinging door with a
gravity trigger. When the bird enters
the nest, she is compelled to raise the
door and pass under. This releases the
weight of the door from the trigger and
allows it to fall, removing the support
from under the door. AS the bird en-
ters the nest the door swings shut and
is held by the lower or pointed end of
the trigger.
The trap nest should be visited fire.
quently. or its benefits will be greatly
impaired. II is undesirable TO confine the
layers for a longer period than is
necessary. In tine spring, when the birds
are laying heavily. it will be necessary
to visit them often. definite schedule
should be planned out and followed. 1t
is best to visit the nests and collect the
eggs at approximately the following
hours: 9. 10. II. IL, and O'Clock.
