The Turkey.
EDITED BY E. w. AMsDEN,

The turkey is native of a warm and
dry climate and has never been thorough
ly acclimated. They are the most diff
cult to raise of any of our domestic birds.
The two critical periods are shooting the
red, as it is called, when the head and
neck assumes the reddish color of the old
birds. and at two months old. when the
skin disease appears, known as "wart
skin" Thisis due to lack of vigor. caused
by weakness in parent stock, or through
lack OF nutritious food. Feed very little
soft food-not more than once day
and never sloppy; give few grains of
black pepper with the soft food, and let
it be OF the most nourishing kind. A lit
tie tincture OF iron in the drinking water
and very little quinine is an excellent
remedy. The wart skin is not confined
to Florida by any means, although it
may occur more frequently here than at
the North.
Turkeys should be Matched early and
get past their weak points before our hot
weather comes on. While they enjoy heat
and thrive best in warm countries, they
want strength, and it is hard to gain it
in our hottest weather. E. W. \.

Poultry Notes.

Sifted coal ashes placed in shallow
boxes make excellent dust baths for
poultry.
Give lime in some form to laying hens.
One plan is to place little slaked lime
in the drinking water.
A farmers daughter advises women
about to begin turkey raising to start
with good stock, and names the pure
bronze as handsome, salable, thrifty and
easier to manage than the common tur-
key.
The Pekin is probably the most popu-
lar duck for the farm. being hardy, easy
to raise and of nice size and appear
'ahce for marketing.
Remember that with the warm weather
come lice, and give good care to prevent
them on the sitting hens.

The Turkey Wart.
Editor Florida Agr1cuIturfst::

Replying to your favor of the 10th
inst would say: Turkey warts are like
other common warts; they come on the
heads. OF young turks, and sometimes
grow SO large that they cover both eyes
of the young un.' They don't look very
sore, but guess they hurt, for they swell
the head above third the usual size.
All the information can give you about
the disease is that it is nothing new:

When the tray has been replenished with
fresh earth and is about to be returned
to its place, open this door so that the
chickens may escape, and not huddle to-
gether at the rear of the coop. The
doorway is defended by Stats, against the
passage of the hen, the space between
them being of sufficient width to allow
the exit of chickens.

FIG. IA COOP FOR HEN AND CHICKENS.
The door at the end of the coop for the
exit of the chickens is to be closed at
night, of course.
AS in sliding the earth covered tray to
it's position in the coop, the chickens
naturally retreat to the rear of the coop,
SO to get as far as possible from the at
tendant, they are in danger of being
caught by the feet and injured. When
ever sliding tray is used, it is a good
plan to"have anopening made at the rear
of the coop where the chickens can es-

A Coop for Hen and Chickens.

In the annexed cuts is represented a
coop for hen and chickens, recommended
by I'll. HI. Stoddard in his manual on
poultry architecture, as being vermin
proof when shut up, and this too without
impeding ventilation.
Most hen coops are entirely inadmis-
sible for outdoor chicken rearing, for
two reasons. One, that the wet drives
into the front of the coop; the other,
that in heavy rain the wet runs in I'M
derneath the sides. In this coop both
these disadvantages are avoided, as the
roof projects over the open front. and
effectually keeps out all the rain, while. a
wooden tray is made to fit inside (Which
should be always kept filled with sand
OR dry earth), which entirely keeps the
little chickens out of the wet. The top
part of the front is made of wire work
with small meshes to keep out rats, while
admitting air.

A rAIrHrUL OFFICIAL

Among the officials who step out OF
power today with The expiration Of the old
city government il Nr. Thomas b Shep.
ard, who for the rsst thres months has
held the olics Of city attorney. It would
Be ungrscious on the part OF the press OF
this city 70 permit this gentleman 70 pass
into private life without . recognition of
The able and upright manner in which he
has conducted the aAEairs Of his Office.
II 10 not too much to say that Mr.. Ehep-
ard. in the short time that he hes held the
position Of city attorney, has reflected
moro credit upon the Office than was re.
hected by any of his predecessors. This
may be said with no disparagsment of the
abilities or honesty Of those who preceded
him in the position, because the work OF
the ONCE in the past few months has been
infinitely more complicated, infinitely
more laborious, and infinitely more
important than during any other
period in the history of the city. A large
number of complicated legal questions,
many Of which vitality concerned the inter-
ests Of the city, have besn presented dur
ing his term, and he has dealt with them in
. manner that has excited the admiration
Of the oldest practitioners at the bar. He
has won some important legal battles for
the city. and has made easy the transition
from the old form OF government to the
new. where less capable or less industrious
official would have made it difficult indeed.
The people of Seattle would have been
glad to retain the services Of Mr.. Shepard.
He could, without difficulty, have become
the principal legal counsellor of the CITY
under the new charter. A short time AGO.
however. he contracted legal partnership
with Judge Thomas Burke. and the inter.
ests Of his new firm required his entire At
tention. For this reason he refused to be
again candidate for public Office, and
his refusal was received with general re-
greet 1t is not too much to say that he re-
tires to private life with the hearty GOOD
will and admiration. not OF his fellow
members OF the Republican party alone,
but OF all the citizens Of Seattle, regardless
OF party, who have watched and appre-
ciated his splendid guardianship of the
interests entrusted to his charge.
