WHERE TURKEYS THRIVE.
Some Reasons Why Western Breeder,
Have an AdNnntnge.

The following is an extract from an
address by Samuel Cushman, Paw
tucket, Z. l.. at the New York Farmers
) institute Vaudeville: The largest
flocks and the most thrifty look
ing turkeys are found on farms
having high. dry land. which
has a light growth of grass and
where new breeding gobbler has late
ly been introduced. They generally
do best on land where they have not
been kept for years. AS a rule. it is
more difficult to raise them each year
they are kept on place. especially if
large number are grown Twenty
years ago it was easy for anyone to
raise turkeys. When a place or region
is overstocked turkey diseases become
prevalent. Many in the east have given
up turkey raising on account Of loss
from disease and those produced in
ferior stock on account of western COM
petition. In turkey raising, as in pro-
ducing any other crop, it pays best to
raise the best"
This shows where western breeders
ndN6 tl4F dAN al iNlN - At Iell
of the west that has ever been over
stocked with turkeys, aud the breed
ing of them is steadily gaining ground
IN this part of the country. There was
time not long ago when Rhode Island
turkeys stood at the head of the market
and Narragansett turkeys were the
best that could be produced anywhere.
Now the bronze turkey is at the head
and those produced in the west sell as
well as those from the east in any mar
ket where they are offered.
With creap feed. unlimited range
and a market that is rarely over
stocked. those who edturkeys in the
west are almost certain to make more
money than those who breed any other
kind of stock.-Farmers' Voice.

PLAN OLE PIGGERY.

If not absorbed would run to the ce-
mented alleyway under the trough,
which should be raised from the floor
slightly. The solid excrements should
be wheeled to the receptacle provided
for them, which may be excavated a
foot or more below the level of the ce-
mented alley way.
The dotted lines within the pen show
where by scantling may be tackled
to the floor to keep the bedding in place.
The dotted lines on the outside of the
building show where yards may be
constructed, but the better plan is to
have two pasture lots of considerable
size, one on either side of the building,
as land is cheap and lumber and labor
expensive.
The floors should be laid on pounded
earth covered with about half an inch
of salt to preserve them, and should
have a dip of to inches from rear to
front. Swing doors may be construct
ed at the side for the passage of the
animals to and from the yards or pas
lures.
The roof story may be used for stor-
ing corn, meal and straw, or if it is too
much work to carry the heavier ma
terial to the loft, one of the pens, pref
erably the one under the stairway,
might be used for storing food.
The building may be made somewhat
narrower than shown, and as long as
desired. In no case should pig-pen
floors, in a cold climate, be up from the
ground If the building is put on dry
ground or drained. the earth underneath
the floors will become dry and the pens
will be warmer. since no drafts of air
can circulate under them.
The diagram is made from pen SINH
lar to this one which has been in use
some eight or ten years and has proved
extremely satisfactory. The floor, in
any case, will be wet along the troughs
near the alley, and by tipping them to-
ward the alley all surplus moisture will
find its way to the cemented floor. leav-
ing the back of the pen dry and COM
Portable. In winter time. when the
doors for egress are closed, the ANIMALS
are likely to drop their solid voidings
at the side of the bed The scantline
nailed upon the floor will mark the line
between them and the bed. In any
case the pens should be cleaned daily
and sprinkled with some absorbent as
chaff, gypsum or dry earth.-Country

The Brook In Winter.
Hear the trickle of the water
Mid the snow, mid the snow,
Or the Naturalization,
Far below, far below,
OF the merry purling stream
Winding, with its silver gleam,
In and out, round about,
Down the hillside in it's flow.
Hear the gurgle of the music
Down the hill, down the hin;
How love to hear the dropping
OF the rill. of the rill.
And the grasses dropping low
With amathystine light aglow,
Rainbow beads upon the weeds,
All the airy icebells fill.
Hear the murmur of the brooklet
In the ground. in the ground
Ere the breaking of the ices
1t is bound. it is bound.
Then with flow, and purl and laughter
Comes tinkling, tinkling, tinkling after.
Like harp, the ices sharp,
Softly fill the stream with sound.

HlGH-CLASS POULTRY.
Why the Progressive Farmer Will
Rnise No other Kind.

Rnise No other Kind.
No man has better chance TO keep
high-class poultry than the farmer. He
has unlimited range for them, and this
is conducive to health and best results
in rearing the young. He produces at
first cost every necessary food product
that goes to keep a flock during the
year, and no one who desires to pur-
chase eggs for Matching would ever buy
of breeder who keeps his fowls penned
up if he knew where he could get eggs
from farm-kept fowls.
There is just as good a market for
high-class poultry as there is for
poultry for market, and the demand is
always good for good stock. The farmer
who keeps this kind of poultry has two
chances to make money. His flock will
be profitable as an investment al mar
ket prices. and he will make many sales
without effort at much above market
prices.
It is no trouble at all. as the writer
knows from experience. to get from so
cents to one dollar a dozen for eggs
from high-class hens during the hatch
ing season. and even at the smaller price
there is an immense profit in the bust
ness.
With the better care that is always
given to good stock comes greater re-
turn in eggs and meat for the feed used
and here is an additional profit on the
transaction.
There is no excuse in these days that
iustifies any farmer in allowing his
flock of hens to remain mongrels. The
man who does this is standing in his
own light and does not live up to his
opportunities. 1t does not need fancy
houses. elaborate systems of yards nor
extraordinary skill in breeding to make
a success with fine poultry. Plain. hard
common sense. such as is needed to
raise good crops and conduct any farm
successfully. is better than any number
of nice theories which are of no practic-
al value.-Farmers' Voice.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Attack ringbone just as soon as it
makes its appearance.
If the dog is heavily coated mercifully
shear him this hot weather.
a contemporary does not like hog
wallows. We do. 4 hog was never in
jured by a good wallow.
The merciful man viii have shade for
the stock. So will the man who works
for the greatest profit.
Every farmer should own breast
strap for use on horses that show symp-
toms of sore shoulders.
The stallion ought to be driven fast
enough to cover him with lather. Then
rubbed down thoroughly.
Rotten swill and hot weather are bad
mixtures for the hog. Pure water is
much better than such swill.
AS rule farm work does not require
a big. heavy horse. \ lighter horse is
better-Western Plowman.

ABOUT LIGHTNING RODS.
Farmers should Avail Themselves of
the Teachings of Science.

the Teachings of Science.
Any man who will travel through
the country with his eyes open will
notice a great many lightning rods on
buildings which instead of being bene-
fit are a positive injury. For example,
they will be found lying down on the
barn or the house, or broken off, or
cracked perhaps near the ground. Rods
of this kind are of no use whatever and
an injury rather than a benefit. We
see no benefit in having glass insula-
tors but regard them rather as an in
jury. 1t is, therefore, well the first wet
day to look after these disabled rods.
AS we have frequently stated, the light
ming rod requires first good ground con-
nection, by which we mean that it
should be imbedded far enough in the
ground to reach permanent moisture.
Next, it should have close metallic con-
nection with the buildings, and finally
1t should reach several feet above the
comb, be well supported and drawn to
fine point, and if this is galvanized
the better. 1t may be made out of
round iron or twisted smooth wire, or
copper ribbon. All good rods cover the
three or four points above mentioned.
A man my spend quite little money in
lightning rods, or he may put them up
cheaply, according as his purse or fancy
dictates. A man may take a spool of
good barb wire. give it good ground con-
nection, nail it to the building, run it
over the comb along the roof, over the
comb again. and back to the place of
beginning and conAct it at the four
corners of this quadrangle at the ground
by another piece of barb or smooth
wire, or by two or three strands of
smooth wire twisted together, and give
it good connection and he will have a
very good lightning rod. A man who
will plat three or four smooth wires to-
gether, give them good ground con-
nection. staple them to the building,
support them three or four feet above
the comb by stay. separate the points
and sharpen them at the upper end. will
have a fairly good lightning rod
What we are insisting on is that
farmers should avail themselves of the
