MONEY IN TURKEYS.
Suggestions Regarding the Feed and Care
of Young Birds.

OF loung BIRDS.
If new blood were brought into the
flock every year there would be fewer
complaints of young turkeys being
delicate. The truth is that these birds
have been too much inbred. The
easiest and quickest remedy for the
trouble is the Introduction Of wild
blood, which gives the desired stamina.
When the young turks are first
hatched they, like chickens, require no
food for the first twenty-four hours,
but the mother should be given little
corn to keep her on the nest. After
wards feed them some milk curd
squeezed dry or bread dipped, but not
soaked, in milk or slightly moistened
with egg. Later on they may be given
scraps from the house, wheat, corn bread
andgreen bone. Always feed on a clean
board, and allow them as much as they
will eat up clean in the space of
quarter of an hour. For the first three
weeks they should be fed three or four
times day; afterwards three times
daily will suffice. Of course they must
be supplied with plenty of water and
gravel.
As soon as the turks seem strong and
the weather is bright and warm, they
may be allowed to ramble about, but
must be got home at night, or, in case
OF shower. as damp is extremely fatal
to them. After they reach the stage
known as shooting the red," they are
hardy, and need but little attention.
Tt,t
need to be we'll cared for.
Lice are as fatal as damp to young
birds. AS soon as they are Matched,
the hen should be examined for lice,
which are certain to be transmitted to
the young ones. The large lice will be
found on the head, neck, under the
wing and also on the flight feathers
around the quilts on the wing. A little
Oil or melted grease should be we'll
rubbed in and the hen thoroughly
busted with snuff or insect powder.
The same should be done to the turks
when they are about a week old, and
drop of oil rubbed on their heads.
This should be applied with discretion,
as too much grease is fatal to them.
Turkeys are great foragers, and cam
not be kept in confinement After the
first three months they should be given
absolute freedom. About month be-
fore marketing they should be fed lib
orally with as much corn as they will
eat. Old corn should always be used,
as green corn is indigestible and often
retards fattening, if it does not cause
| actual loss. N. Y. World.

RED CROSS DOGS.
Trained Especially for Hospital Service in
the German Army.

Trained Especially for hospital Service In
the German Army.
At Lechenich, near Cologne, IN Rhine
land, a novel experiment in dog-train-
ing for army service is being made by
Jean Bungartz, the animal painter and
animal lover. His success in training
dogs for active army duty, reconnoiter-
ing. sentry and messenger service mas
been certified to by the German gov
ernment; and now Mr.. Bungartz is ed
ucating a number of dogs for hospital
and ambulance service, and these are
the so-called "Hospital, or Red Cross
d0gs.'
For this duty the Scotch collie is
chosen. since Mr.. Bungartz believes
that this breed has no equal for intelli-
gence, docility and fidelity. The Red
Cross dog is fitted with saddle-bags, in
which he carries, besides his biscuit,
everything necessary for the first
bandaging, and well-protected flask
| Of brandy. A large red cross appears
on the saddle-bags, and lantern is
strapped on the collie's back at night.

by those of the wounded who have
crept away into ditch or hedge to escape
the bursting shell and rush of hoofs and
wheels, and, not found by the hospital
service, are reported as missing" or
are discovered too late for relief.
Here the noble duty of the Red Cross
dog comes in. There is no thiclet too
dense, no ditch too deep but that these
keen-scented, quick-sighted collies can
find the wounded man; and once found
they give tongue, and do not leave him
till help comes.
The dogs are also taught to crouch
beside the wounded man, that he NAV
open the bag and find the reviving
flask. The little lantern, securely
fastened to the back strap enables the
seekers to follow the dog on dark
nights, and it moreover conveys hope
to the wounded when the friendly
light appears.
Mr.. Bungartz tells of remarka Bile
work done by his dogs on nights 50
dark that the seeking party passed
within five feet of the PROSTATE man on
open ground, and but for the collie
would not have found him.

of this is an edge serrated and toothed

advantage of this knife is that it sticks

side pieces may be six feet or more in
length, two to three inches wide

crosspieces may be one foot apart, the
length corresponding to the width of

Contest.

st. Paul at Grand Rapids.
Milwaukee at Terre Haute.

It is not too much to expect that
the finish in the Western league viii
be the greatest in the history of
base ball in the Northwest. To be
sure, the Indianapolis club is still
in the lead, a position which it has
occupied almost the whole season,
but several Of the other clubs are
within hailing distance, and brill
liant squirt in the last two weeks
would be likely to land any one of
six clubs in first place. Indianapolis
must leave home for long trip near
the end of this week, and it would
not be surprising if the Hoosiers re-
turned to their native heath in Au-
gust in second place. The club now
occupying second place, Detroit, will
also be on the road for some time,
and is likely to drop down several
pegs. The next three, however, ST.
Paul, Kansas City and Milwaukee,
! now running a neck-and-neck race,
will for long time be on their own
! grounds, and ought to push we'll to
| the front. st. Paul has only four
| more games to play away from home
in the next month, and ought to land
in st. Paul next Friday at least on
the 800 mark. Minneapolis, too is
likely to be heard from in the fight
for position, as the Millers are really
the hardest hitters in the league.
Grand Rapids and Terre Haute, how
ever, are settled for this season They
are losing pretty steadily at home,
and on the long trip away will hope
lessly anchor themselves in seventh

shut out Grand Rapids has ever re-

less support he received from the
team back of him were enough to
shut any team in the league out.
Pepper was hit eight times, or once
more than Petty was found, but his
hits We're so scattered that until the
ninth inning there was not a chance
for a run to come in. In that inning
Boyle made a wild throw that let
Wheelock get to third, with but one
man out and the Outfielders coming
to bat. Petty went out, making two.
Wright got a base on balls, stealing
second a moment later. Fred Car

COmiSkey, who gathered it home
and touched the initial bag before
Carroll could get there. The team
from the SANITY City drew more
applause for its feat, heretofore con-
sidered impossible, than Grand Rap
ids has got this season. On the other
hand, Petty pitched winning ball,
especially after the first and second
innings, in which hits were punched
and seven runs were made. In these
two innings Irwin, Comiskey, Null
lane, Boyle and Pepper made singles
and Pickett a double. These, COM
