GENERAL IN THE WEST.
Many States Suffered Severely
from a Storms Visit.

CHICAGO, April 12.-Last nights
storm wrought such havoc with the
telegraph wires that it is almost
impossible to obtain the particu-
lars of the damage done in the
West, where the destruction seems
tc have been general and wide
spread in the States of Iowa, Hi
nois, Nebrarba, Kansas. and Mis-
souri,.
Probably the greatest damage
was done in Iowa, although the
reports from Nebraska indicate
that when the full particulars
have been received that the State
will lead in the loss of property
and human life.
Along the line of the Chicago,
Milwaukee. and ST. Paul Railroad,
IN Iowa and Nebraska, the storm
cut a wide swath. The town of
Akron, in the former State, was
demolished, and Westfeld, few
miles distant, was badly demoral-
lied.
Meagre reports from localities
in the interior show that the de-
vastatlon was widespread, although
it's full extent will not be known
for several days, owing to a lack
of telegraphic facilities and the
wash out of country roads, render
ing communication difficult, ano
in many cases impe s ible.
Continuing along the railroad ii
Nebraska the storm swept up farm
buildings, fences, AID bridges ano
finally swooped down on the town
of Page, which it wrecked. Al
this point the first loss of life il
reported, Mrs. Clara Magee being
the victim. Her two children were
dangerously injured, and severa
other persons were hurt. The storm
travelled with great velocity, Gov
ering 200 miles between Akrol
and Page in an hour and a half
Damage was done farther West
but owing to the complete prostra
tration of the telegraph wires alb

cause of their death. The nests
should be we'll sprinkled with
sulphur two or three times during
the period of incubation. The
heat of the hens body will then
cause sulphur fumes, which are
two powerful for the mites. A
handful of coarse tobacco in the
nest will answer the same purpose,
When the time for Matching
arrives, examine, frequently, in
order to assist the little prisoners
out of the shells, if it should be
necces sary. The shell sometimes
becomes SO dry that the inner
lining fastens to the little turkey,
and it has not strength to break
loose and come out of the shell.
1t is we'll to remove them from
the nest, in order to keep the
mother bird quiet during the day,
otherwise, she may leave some
eggs unmatched. Always return
them to the nest for the night.
For the first twenty-four hours
the young turkeys need no food.
After that, feed generously with
bread which has been dipped in
hot milk, then squeeze dry and
sprinkle with black pepper. This
should be their only food for the
first few days, unless you wish to
spare some eggs for tt EN-, in which
case boil them hard, chop fine, and
mix with the bead and milk.
Sealded sour milk cured is a good
food, but the bread and milk is
sufficient for the first ten days.
They may then have cracked wheat,
or corn meal, if it is baked into a
cake. Corn meal should not be
fed wet as it is sure death.
Give the young turkeys all the
milk or water they want to drink.
Place it in shallow dish so they
will not get wet or chilled. Little
turkeys must not be allowed to rua
out in the wet grass, or to be out
in a rainstorm until their quill
feathers are well grown. Damp
ness is fatal to them for the first
few weeks. After they are few
days old, sprinkle occasionally
with insect powder. When they
are gathered around the feed dish

ing wings, giving out mournful
chirps, catch it and you will find

lard, or sprinkle with insect pow
der and keep closely covered for a
little while, and, if not too far
gone, it will come out all right.
At the root of the wing feathers is
where you will find the lice.
When once started, turkeys grow
very rapidly. Feed generously,
night and morning, and they will
roam the fields for insects during
the day, doing more good than
harm to growing crops. Fatten
them on corn in the fall. 1t is
