COTTON MARKETS.

New York. Aug. l.-sharp sdTsnces occurred
in the cotton market today on heavy general
buying. both to cover shorts and by the trade
following the publication Of the report Of the
Federal Department Of Agriculture who put
the condition Of the crop as Of July q at
IS.6 against Ss the month previous. The
figure came as = bullish Surprise. as the pop
ular opinion expressed was that # would be
around IA. this being the average guess.
The loss during the period was the greatest
FOR any similar time on record. Emphasis
was laid on the fact that since the data for
the report were made up further deterioration
had occurred. and thee were fears Of q crop
failure in Texas and Louisiana. 10 the after
noon profit taking caused quite q reaction
from the top
Realizing sales made little impression on the
late market, prices yielding Is 70 20 points at
one time. bat again turning INN on a renewal
OF covering. The close was steady AZ a net
advance Of 8 TO 81 points The receipts at
the ports for the day were 3.9S bales against
s.ssa bales . week ago. s.Si6 bales q year ago
and e,sS bales two years ago.
Spot at New Orleans was dull and unclaimed
at ~ cents; the sales were bale
Spot at New York was quiet at an advance
OF 60 points at 2.7O for middling There
were no sales. Port receipts not svailable.

Marines Efforts.

Maine has already gained records
for rapid ship construction. A steam
er which was christened the Cumber-
land was launched at one Of the Maine
shipyards 135 working days after her
keel was laid and within four minutes
after the Cumberland was launched
the keel of another ship was pliced
in position upon the shipways.
Machinery installation was begun in
one of the ships in ninety minutes af-
ter the vessel was launched.
On the fifth OF July, which was
fifty-four days after the launching
of the steamship Andra in a Maine
shipyard. the vessel was completely
equipped with machinery and ready
for sea. That Ii an astonishingly rap
Id installation, in view of the fact
that great credit was given to the
shipbuilders upon the Pacific coast
for installing machinery and boilers
and making vessel ready for the
sea In a little over three months after
the ship was launched.
(: There seems to be no reason to
doubt the sincerity and authority
which are behind Mr.. Schwab's pre-
diction that, within another twelve

Start Early Potatoes in
Trenches on Straw; Cover
As Roots Begin to Start

Often potatoes planted in April will
not come up any earlier than those
planted a month or six weeks later.
Meanwhile the first seed does not re-
tain the virile strength of the later
planted ones, because Of the long wait
before termination. The result is dis
couraging to truck farmers who want
to get their spuds started early to get
them ready for fancy prices, writes F.
E. Drummer, in Farm and Fireside.
l have found potatoes are quickly
started by the following means: A
trench about 10 inches deep is dug in
well-drained soil, the bottom being
loosened so that the soil is mellow. Ia
the trench straw is laid so that when
packed down it has a depth Of an inch
or two. Next drop the seed at the de-
sired distances apart and leave 1t ~
ing in the trench uncovered. The larg-
er seed is better for use in getting
quick, early crop. The sun has free
opportunity to shine on the seed, when
it soon begins to start sprouts. AS
the roots begin to form, little dirt Is
drawn in around the seed. The plant
will finally reach the top of the ground
level, and the trench can then be filled
in-but not before. Potatoes planted
in this way will not easily freeze, be-
cause they are protected by being low
er than the surface Of the ground, and
should there be danger Of freezing it Is
not much trouble to cover the burrows
lightly with straw until the cold wave
passes.

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

That the Importance of the brooder
in rearing large numbers of incubator
chicks cannot be overestimated, is the
opinion of n. L. Harris, superintendent
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege poultry farm.
"SOme artificial means of brooding
chicks must be provided when incuba-
tor chicks hatch in cool or cold wealth
err" said Mr. Harris. "Where a small
flock of birds is to be raised it is not
profitable to use either the incubator
brooder, but where large numbers OF
chickens are handled the brooder be-
comes q matter of convenience.
keeping chicks in large tlocks mini
mizes the labor and reduces the cost
of houses and yards. Where hens are
used for brooders in cold weather only
a few chicks can be given to each
hen. This requires large number OF
coopS and the attendant is compelled
to give each group nearly as much at
tention as would be required for one
large flock cared for by the brooder.'
A large percentage of the hen brood
ed chicks suffer from the effects of
head lice, Mr.. Harris pointed out.
These not only are bothersome to the
newly Matched chick, but continue to
be a source of trouble through the en-
tire season.
Where hens are not available and
only a few chicks are to be raised it is
possible to construct a homemade
brooder. These usually require con-
siderably more attention than those on
the market but will give fairly good re-
suits.
The most common method of heat
ing these homemade brooderS Is by
means of jug Of hot water. A box
which contains sufficient room for from
so to 100 chicks and which is tight on
all sides excepting the front, is the
first requirement. Some method of
ventilation should be provided on the
top of the box. A two gallon jug of
hot water furnishes the heating plant.
The jug should be wrapped in burlan
to protect the chicks and aid in retain
ing the heat. This brooder will keep
u limited number of. chicks perfectly
comfortable.

this plunger struck a solid substance.
On the morning of January 10 Brit
ish lookouts upon the ships saw nu-
merous kegs floating down the Della
ware river. One of these collided with
an ice cake. Instantly there was an
explosion and shower of ice
splinters. The lookouts rubbed their
eyes, then called the men to quarters,
and intense interest centered upon the
oncoming kegs. The warship COM
manders sensed the situation and turn
ed gunfire upon the kegs, exploding
them one by one. Thus Captain Bush
nells scheme came to an unsuccessful
end, but the idea behind the kegs GER
tainly would seem to have been the
true genesis of the torpedo.
Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam
boat, also worked upon the torpedo.
Being unable to interest the -Ameri-
can government, he went to England,
where his torpedo was rejected. Then
Fulton Travelled to France and tried
to induce Napoleon to adopt this new
weapon. Napoleon refused it as an
instrument of war unworthy of use
by q great nation. 1t would be inter-
esting to know what the emperor
might have thought of the U-boat and
it's ethics.

Timber Most Firmly Rooted Will En-
dure Strain Better Than That of
Strongest Wood.

1t is always interesting to watch
the effect of storms anywhere, but in
the woods these effects are most va
ried and remarkable. says a writer.
1t frequently happens that a tor
uado or hurricane will follow a GER
tain course and level only the trees
in this line, often leaping from place
to place. In such cases all trees in
its Swath suffer or are blown down; ;
but where there is a general very high
wind and all trees are hit with about
the same force it may be noted that
the best rooted ones and not those Of
the strongest wood survive.
Wind resistance of the whole tree
has also something to do with the
bending character of the trunk and
branches, for where these give before
the force of the storm they permit the
wind to slide off. The hickory, above
all, will not yield, and consequently
receives the hardest strain against its
entire top, whether full leaved or bare.
1t may be commonly noticed that in
a mixed woodland, where a hard wind
has driven, there are more hickories
down than any other trees.

LEGAL Anatomy.

| followed with interest from time to
