In bulletin from the New Jersey
station regarding the II year locusts,
it is said that these insects appear very
often in different parts of this country,
while others extend over large areas,
because there are a great number OF
broods in existence-22 broods in all.
Some of the broods are confined to small
sections of the country, while others ex-
tend over larger areas. There is nc
sufficient remedy yet to prevent them
from destroying the fruit trees by pune
turing the twigs. Each brood has to
be studied by itself and an account of
it kept, SO that in the spring when they
are to appear the trees can be thorough
ly pruned, and the twigs in which the
eggs are reposing should be burned.
The sparrows are great enemies of the
locusts, and where they are very nu-
merous the locusts do comparatively
little injury to the trees.

California as a Sanltarium

In an article written for the Califor-
MAN, Lieutenant John p. Finley, OF
the United States Weather Bureau
makes the, following statement
Theoretically California should fur
nish the best and the most varied
health resorts and sanitarium in the
United States. Within her borders
almost every form of wasting disease
should find the means of temporary,
if not permanent relief
This theoretical statement, from all
unbiased, scientific standpoints, is
fully and abundantly confirmed by
actual experience. The cool and brac-
ing coast climate, devoid of any trace
of malaria, extends from the northern
part of the State to the extreme south.
There is the choice between this cool,
humid atmosphere and the dry, warm
atmosphere of the inland valleys.
In the matter of altitude there is a
yet greater difference. From Palm
Valley, 300 feet below sea level, to the
upper Serras, 1000 or 5000 above,
any altitude can be selected, and
comfortable homes be founded.
The popularity of an almost rain
less summer, during which the injur-
ious germs of animal and vegetable
decay are destroyed by thorough desi-
cation, is one of the striking features
of California climate.
During the rainy season it is usual
ly too cool to facilitate fermentation,
and the result is, except along some
of the river valleys, an absolutely pure
atmosphere. The ocean winds enter
ing through the several coast openings
are tempered by the intermediate area
passed over, and often receive desira-
Bile healing properties by taking up
the resinous odors of the pines and
redwoods on the Coast Range.
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting a To-
cality where climate environment will
do all that these agencies can ever do
toward the restoration of health.
There is enough of wildness to keep
the mind constantly engaged, and
enough of civilization to satisfy the
most exacting.
Sufferes from pulmonary diseases
people whose systems are charged
with malaria, or are ''run down" by
over work, find immediate and in
many cases permanent relief in this
invigorating climate, establishing
anew the fact recognized by all intel
ligcnt persons, whether physicians or
laymen, that "Nature is the best
healer

Homemade Garden Hose.

Take a piece of 12 ounce duck and
cut it lengthwise into three pieces.
This makes 80 feet of hose about 2
inches in diameter. Place the edges to-
gether. double them once over, and with
a sewing machine sew through the four
thicknesses twice. This makes hose
that will stand 6 or s foot pressure,
writes a correspondent of American
Gardening. He says; To make it wa
terproof we use five gallons of boiled
linseed oil and half a gallon of pine tar
melted together. Place the hose in a
washtub, turn ON the oil hot-say 100
degrees-and saturate the cloth well
with the mixture. Now run the hose
through clothes wringer screwed
down rather tight, and it is ready to be
hung up to dry. Blow through it to
keep it from sticking together as il
dries. For this purpose / use an elder
sprout about foot long with the pith
punched out Tie string around one
end of the hose, gather the other end
around the tube and fill it with wind.
Then hang the hose ON line, and it
will dry in few days and be ready for
use 1t will last five or six years.

lurking foe, which under the generic
name Of malaria manifests itself, when
it clutches us in its tenacious grasp,
in the various forms of chills and few
er, bilious remittent, dumb ague or

guarded against by fortifying the sys-
TEN against its insidious attacks with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, thor

in the system, and safeguard against

event of a malarious attack, avoid
poisoning your system with quinine,
and use instead this wholesome rene

more efficacious than any drug. Use
the Bitters for dyspepsia, billiousness,
constipation, kidney complaints and

TURKEYS FOR PROFIT.

Secrets to Success Told by One Who Makes
These Birds Pay.
In the first place, get well bred stock.
The Mammoth Bronze is said to be the
best variety. The males at the age of
months weigh from IS to % pounds,
females 10 to IA The hen will lay from
80 to so eggs, according to management.
From 16 to 20 eggs constitute a setting.
The period Of incubation is 30 days.
After the hen begins to sit she sticks
closely to her nest; consequently her
food should not be neglected. Only one
person should go near the sitting hens,
and that one should be quiet in every
movement, SO that by Matching time all
fear Of approach has disappeared, and
she will permit the removal of her little
ones without resistance.
Young turkeys are SO tender and so
easily injured that it is best to remove
them from the nest when only a few
hours old. Keep them in basket snug
ly wrapped in warm flannel, lifting
them out for an airing now and then dur
ing the second day, in order that they
may learn the use of their clumsy little
legs and to offer them something to eat.
Little turkeys never have much appe-
tite until two or three days old, and then
an egg custard with tender onion tops
cut small enough for them TO swallow
will tempt them sooner than anything
else, and when they have learned to eat
pretty well season their custard with a
pinch of black pepper and thicken ii
slightly with the soft crumbs of egg
bread. Feed them five times day until
they are two weeks old. The authority
for the foregoing, successful turkey
grower, tells in The Country Gentleman
that the reason of this is, the growth
of feathers on young turkeys is very rap
id and demands constant supply of nu-
triton. Sweet milk should be offered
them to drink daily, given in some man.
ner to prevent them getting themselves
wet.
One of the secrets of turkey raising is
never allow them to get wet or chilled.
A good way is to make yard of boards
10 or 12 feet square for the mother and
her brood. Provide shelter for them to
sleep under and to protect them from
sudden rains. After two weeks the GUS
tard may be omitted; then feed bread
made of bran, middlings and little
cornmeal, baked and moistened with
sweet milk After month old they can
be fed mixed grains once daily, with a
little cracked corn. Later on their morn
ing meal can consist of any cooked vege-
tables thickened with good wheat bran
and middlings fed warm. Place the food
in troughs or anything that can be kept
clean, as it is necessary that their food
be prepared fresh every day. Provide
plenty of grit, also plenty of clean water
or sweet milk. Cultivate their acquaint-
ance as you feed them. Keep them grow
ing from the shell to the slaughter.
