AllgOOd's Farm Letter

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special.) )-Right now is the time for every farmer who expects to have hogs for the market this fall, to get busy. Do not expect to top the market after letting your late winter and spring pigs drag through the sum- mer without attention. To prepare hogs for the market you must not stunt them with scant feed. Producing hogs for the market is a business, and to do so suc- cessfully, the animal must not be neg lected. Keep your hogs for the market in a good growing, thrifty condition, by giving them plenty of good clean water, plenty of green pasture. and d little corn.
 During the summer, Sour hogs should be provided with soy bean, COW pea, and sorghum pasture; and added to this from one-fourth to one-half ration of corn Right now is the time to plant these graz ing crops. Do not try to produce pork on corn alone. It takes approximately F bushels of corn to produce a 100 pounds, when corn is selling at $50 per bushel.
 At the Alabama Experiment station the corn required to make 100 pounds gain was produced from 456 pounds in the case of corn alone to 157 pounds where the corn was supplemented by the soy bean pasture, and the cost of producing the pork was reduced in like proportion.
 Again, to produce pork profitably the pig must be kept in sanitary quarters and free from lice and disease. At this time hog cholera is prevalent to a greater or less degree throughout the state. It cholera is in your herd or in your imme- diate neighborhood protect your hogs by giving them the anti-hog cholera serum treatment. Get your county agent to teach you how to inoculate your hogs. This may be the means of saving your entire herd. Get busy with your representative and see if the state cannot take further steps in the control of hog cholera and thereby curtail the annual loss to the farmers of the state, thousands and thou sands of dollars.
 Already Alabama is taking high ank among the big pork producing states Of the union. There is no good reason why, in the next few years, this state should not take first rank. If every farmer will do his best we can do this. The oppor- tunity is ours. This branch of farming is productive of greater and more profit able returns in a shorter period of time than almost any other. What we want IS more hogs and better hogs.
 M C AIJGOOD. Commissioner.

tho American navy's flying boats would prove nothing practically of the oretically."
 The article said in part:
 "AI no time during their flight win they be out of sight of a ship. as the American navy is putting a ship every 50 miles of the way. which means that the machines never will be more than 25 miles from a ship. This eliminates any risk and also does away with any need of navigation. The Americans might just as well fly the Engiisi. channel 50 times, an ordinary exploit these days.
 ''The flight proves nothing practical ly or theoretically.
 The personal guidance of the pilot does not rule into the question, as the machine can land at any time along side a ship, rest and proceed. Thsy are also able at any time to replenish their petrol tanks"
 The article adds reference to the fact that local interest is all for the Americans" and says:
 This seems rather unfair and we should like to believe it untrue"

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New Yonk, May 7.-The selling of cotton which followed the appearance of weekly weather reports showed a tendency to increase and gave rise to the impression thatslong cotton was be. ing liquidated for western and south ern accounts. Local traders also sold and there were some offerings through spot houses, all of which proved more than the market could absorb withol some recession.
 In some quarters the opinion is ex pressed that longs are disposed to re- duce their lines pending the announce ment of the exact terms of the treaty Of peace for fear there may be some- thing unexpected there. Also, for soms- time past good many traders have had the view that as soon as the treaty has been actually signed it will be touno that the event has been over- discounted by the buying which has all ready taken place. Sentimentally such views have some force, but the cotton situation in itself looks very sound.
 The spot demand is good and though no exports have been reported today they totaled 32,000 yesterday and are much in excess of last year. Liver pool and Japanese interests are cred ited with having bought freely today and we look for a good recovery to follow the furry of selling today toSI S laSS.
 The heavy selling volume of trans actions in stocks still continues, and q large and active speculative interest is evidently in the market There has been renewed burst of strength in the oil shares, with Texas making a no- table advance. and Sinclair. Sinclair, Gulf, o. G. S, etc, following mildly Mexican Petroleum still stays the laggard. The peace terms with Ger many are announced today and they indicate very determined effort to prevent any renewal of war-like activ- ities on her part for many years to come. It is apparent that the final scene of the war drama is being en- acted. and 1t is no wonder that the prospect of such an event has had a very stimulating effect on our market Tn the past month or so, especially when there has been a long line of stocks like the oil shares to deal ir with great speculative possibilities. It would seem to us as if this interest and activity in the market would carry rom Its very momentum for sometime yet but we do think traders should use increasing caution in their selec- tion.--Post & F1agg

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York; May 1.-The market this morning opened at about the prices at which it closed on Monday and without any particular feature to the trading Ihere was more rain west of the river which will be beneficial and some scat tered showers reported from the Atlan- tlc, where they will do no harm. A pri- vafe acreage report with an estimated decrease of 12 per cent attracted little attention, being about in line with recent figures. There appeared to be less de- mand from Europe than recently and if IS a question whether the rather active business done for Europe in the past three weeks, has not for the moment filled up the freight room available. In the early afternoon, some realizing sales caused the market to sell off slowly but there was no particular activity We find little disposition here to wait for lower prices, even after the advances of the past month.

New Orleans, May 7.-After moderate advances in the early trading today the price of cotton fell off under the opera tions of traders who plainly were work ing for reaction. They were aided by the surprisingly favorable crop accounts from the government easily the most bearish reports thus far this season, al- though the market was given a steads undertone during the greater part of the session by the generally good demand for spots in the interior. Locally spot prices were marked off 12 points, but sales were farily large.
 In the early part of the session prices were Is to 2 points up, but from the s- usance of the official crop report at 10 o'clock there was a gradual fall and in the early afternoon the market stood 26 to 31 points under the close of Monday
 Briefly the official crop review stated that seasonable temperatures and mod crate rains had been favorable for the lew crop and that satisfactory to good progress had been made. Pianting is nearly completed and stands are gener- ally satisfactory. Mention was made of insufficient rainfall in some sections of the belt but even this has been cured by tn erains on the map this morning. In tne interior buyers are eager traders on almost anything offered in the way of spot cotton and because of this we cannot DeIeVe that the market can be depressed for any extended length of time and advocate placing purchases on any further soft spots.
 The market at it's lowest stood at net decline of 2S to 36 points and closed at net loss of 2 to 31 points.-Shepard & Gluck.
