E. D. SMITH CALLS A_NNUUAL MEETINI ,South (Carolina Division Cotton Groi ers' Association For Feb ruary 5. Mr. E. D. Smith, president of tl South Carolina. Cofton. Growers' ass elation. who is recovering from a r cent illness, wtis in the city yeste day. ".I have just returned from t meetin 1 of the North Carolina divi ion of the Southern Cotton assoei tion.'' said Mr. Smitlh. 'The atten anee was spi:nldi d; practically eve: counl\ in the .State g'rowinig' Cott< was represented. The ibusiness men Charlott e were me i,ent and took ctiv part in the mein". Some or 30 warehouses hind been construt ed during the past year all of whi were well patronized. "The outlork for the incoming ye for the further progress of the Sout ern Cotton associ.ation is exceeding flattering. The North Carolina i vision is profiting by the experien of the past. and the incoming year w see an effort made for the negotiati< of fuiids sufficient in each county f taking care of the members who w need mon y on cotton. I hope tih ,every county in South Carolina w sepd delegates to our meetinw -hi convenes in the city of Columbia i FPbruary 5. 1908. It is a;bsolute essential for the welfare of our c ganization and for the welfare of o people that we solve the problem how to make our cotton the basis loan, so that we can hold it witho creatin< too great a stringency money. The old aim and object, whidh we are bending every effort, how to meet the obligations of thc who own cotton without forcing t owner to sell his cotton when t price is not such as we deem a prop one. This can only be done by conci of action locally through the wai house and the local bank. The gi nens' report, issued today, indical the final yield of possilbly less th j.500,000 bales. Yet in the face this, the future market went off son thing like 35 or 40 points. It is cc ceded by all parties concerned tb the American mills have less cott hought than at any period for a nu: ber 6f years. They are attempting meet this condition by curtailing t production, that is, running onsh time. It will tfake an enormous ci tailing to meet the deficiency in t supply, for, should thevy con1sume o million bal'es less th'zn last yea,r, fr< the present oudoo~k t'h're would st be from one million to a mili.ion a one-shalf les t'eau it would take supply' their "bdn att- ned. From; the information at my commaa-d, t baliance of the cotton yet to be sc is in comparatively strong hands, a will be uninfluenced by the. fluct tion in the market until the level sh -meach that for which they have plh .ged themselves. "The election of officers for the suing yea.r devising ways and -mea by which to meet the conditlions ti confront us are questions of such i portance tas to command a, full tendairee at our annual meeting Febru~ary 5, 1908.'' $1,000 A YEAR FROM TURKET A Connecticut Woman's Way M~aking Money. "'White Holland turkeys have a ded $1.000 a year to my income I the~ .ast three years,'' Mrs. E. Munson of Connectient tolM a S reporter when asked to suggest wa by which women in the .country mig make money. "B ing a farm'er's w and living some distance in the cot try, 'I am aceustomed to work, so don't mind putting in my spare tia on poultry. "When some seven years ago decided that I wanted to try maki money of my own I talk'ed the m; ter over with my husband and both agrea.d on turkeys. He had preference for the bronze. becat they were the largest and, he h heaird, the hardiest. "I had a longing for the wh Holland, because I wanted som'ethi ornamental. I hadn 't any oti reason. and I knew a(bsolutely nol ing about raising turkeys. ''As t' bein.ning I bought two s tings of eggs. All the eggs hatch but so mahny of tlhe young chicks di that onlyV eighteen birds reached n turity. There were ten hens a eighh~ coeks. *"Fortunately. they were all v orone birds. I decided to keep the hens and one of the cocoks I stocks. selling off the seven othe My husband had agreed to give the Iood needed for the first t vear's, so I invested the money: eired for my extra turkeys in eg "When the spring came arou again I knew quite a good deal m< a +ou rais inukeys than I 'had I prviols season. As a consequence iso many chicks in compari=oii with the number hatch e.1 as I had lost the year hefore. "'The autumn of that year after selecting my young breeders I sold the balance for upward of $200. 'The le mon.y went into the bank, and be Sfore tile .Ond of the following year e- by j..r the lair;est half had gone to r- pay for focd. That. year my profits amoutet?d to over $300. e The fourth year I in'creased my flock and ny profits were more than a- d 'bled. I: the fifth year I eiea.r?d 1- $1.000 for the first. time. and feeling -that ny fkk e es hoge M2..l 1 couil comftorta)ly manage I have i ket the number a)Out th' sami. nl \ h oug,h I hadl no .-eason fur se ?5 in . \ihite Iolla)nd turkeys bevond t- my lve of their beauty. I now know h many i,lts in their favor. The first is that I believe they suit the r clImat, ot c0'Cnnecticut better than .I either the bronze or the ordinary do v (mestic tt.rkey. i- "'Then their color enaibles me to e pick my flock out from those of my i neighbors. They don't get mixed. and n when they happen to stray, which is or very seldom, they are easily identi iii fied. ;t. They are more (omestie and re ill quire a -maller range. They are not ih nrvous. and are so ,gentie that. any >n one to whom they are accustomed can ly pick them up. r. "'Though a size smaller than. the ur bronze turkey, they are larger than of the orddnary domestic fowl and an of ideal market bird. When properly ut fattened their flesh in yellow, deli of cate in flavor and very juicy. 'Their to breast is very large, which is anoth is er point in their favor for table use. se "My methods of rearing them are ,e very simple. In he winter my flock he roots in a large and very airy er shed and have access to a 'barn in rt which is kept plenty of good, clean e- chaff and grain litter. When the n- weather is unusually severe all their es food is ~warmed and spiced with an pepper. For the cold months I use a of mixture of wheat, b.uckwheat and t- corn almost exclusively. n- "They are never kept. indoors even at in the coldest weather, except in on case of rain. 'They go out into the n- snow freely,- although the doors of to Itheir shed anid barn are' always left e Io,en for them. rt "'It has to be admitted that until --a turkey passes its third week it is ah e extremely delicate bird, but by ob e serving a few rules it .may be easily m pulled through this dangerous per ill iod. To be successful with the young 1id birds you must see tha.t they have to plenty of the right sort of food, that d their troughs and coops are kept e clean and th:at they are kept from d getting wet even in the dew. 1id "'For f)od I begi:n with bread sea a- soned~ w.ithu j per an c urd!s, and let ll them erraduall,y work into hard grain. d-As a rule e urkev will begin to eat grain freely when it is about the size n- of a pigreon. I .dve wheat 'and buck s wheat hbefore corn. E,ven to_ grow1 at turkeys I give corn span ng.y, ex - cept during t.he coldest weather. t-" Earth en vessels or old iron pans n make the best tronghds for drinking water or sour milk. I would never recommend the use .of wooden vessels S. for such purposes, as it is next tc impossilble to clean them, and nothing of is so sure to breed disease among fowls as a dirty drinking vessel. "It is my rule to keep the young d- birds confined until they are able tc 'or fly over the two foot high fencee of N. their yard. After this they' are a tin lowed to ruxn with their mother, but ys I am careful to keep them in in wet -it weather a.nd until the dew is off in Lfe the mornings. na "As a rule, after.the third wee1t I if a young turkey has been proeperly ne cared for it should be able to stand almost anything. There are some I years in which care over them should ig be ext.ended once week and sometimes t- even three weeks longer. A clear e season, when there is- plenty of sun a light, is mueh 'better for young tur se keys than rainy or culdy weather. ad "I have been urged to use gluter meal and gluten feed by other tur ite key breeders, who say that it is just rig as good as the whole grain and much er cheaper. That it is cheaper in price :h- I must admtit, but it has never beer proved to my satisfaction tha.t it was st-, as healthful for the fowls, or that ed young birds hatched' from tire egg5 ed of gluten fed hens were as vigorou. a- ",I am foaid of my turkeys, and rid while I make a point of killing ofi every chick that is not up to the mark o- it gives me pain to do it. When therE all are no puns chicks in a brood it or makes me very happy. So I am not rs. wiline to try any food that I am not a- sure will not inerease thre numbe)r of to ittle creatures for mel t:o put t( -- death. . "iThough I am in the buein'ess foI add the money and am willing to try any re little economy that promises a say k, .n, T .am nont wiliino- to risk 'th'e health of my birds. Good food pr< (duces :ood -birds, and even when tb best food is gen,?rously given thei is a. fair profit in turkey raising.'' Yew York Sun.
