l. belleYe that the average turkey
raiser makes serious mistake in dis
posing of his breeding stock every
year and recruiting his flock from
young and often immature birds.
Young turkeys do not make number
one breeders. While it is very true
that a yearling hen will lay more eggs
in n single season than three or four
year-old, still from practical exper-
ience [ have become convinced that
the latter will produce greater per
centage of ''poults" with sufficient vi
tality to carry them to maturity
My turkeys this year vary in age
from yearlings to six and seven year
olds. AS each hen has leg band, it
is little or no trouble to trace them
accurately. After n close observation
am well satisfied that the oldest hens
have paid the best. They have invar-
iably proven the best mothers,
greater per cent. of their eggs have
been fertile, and the poults hatched
have seemed to possess a greater de-
gree of vitality.
One of my oldest hens, during the
fore part of May, made her nest and
brought off sixteen fine, strong
"poults," but owing to an accident,
for which she was not entirely to
blame, every one of the youngsters
perished. Later, she made two un-
successful attempts to bring off an
other brood, but failed in both in
stances. In the first instance, crows
destroyed the nest, and the second
time moving machine wheel put an
end to her hopes.
One of the most stFiEing instances
illustrating the hasdihood of old hens
is the experience of neighbor few
years ago who succeeded in keeping
one hen thirteen years. While she
was not as prolific as compared with her
earlier years, yet in the aggregate she
reared as many ''poults" towards the
last as during her more youthful years.
Good authorities on turkey raising
agree that breeding stock can be kept
with profit as long as they live. While
do not know that would put it quite
as strongly, [ feel confident that
piVCuihb tbl htJo Iuh Do hcPp Milh
profit much longer than they usually
are. In my earlier experience with
turkeys, [ was victim of the vigorous
young stock craze, but 1 am getting
further aud further away every year,
as begin to see the errors of such q
course. The fact that domestic
pullet will lay more eggs than two
or three-year-old domestic hen, and,
hence, is the more profitable, does moi
argue that the young turkey hen will
be better than an older one. A do
mestic hen and turkey hen are two
very different creatures, and are breC
and raised for two entirely different
purposes, generally.
There is another great advantage in
keeping old stock. By so doing, i
greatly lessons the expense of procur
ing tom every year to avoid inbreed
ing. If the breeder doesn't wish tc
go to an extreme. with old stock, he
will have no trouble in keeping stocl
three, four or even five years withou
change. From actual experience
feel perfectly safe in saying that I
breeder can keep turkeys until iy,

Some English statistics show that
one-tenth of the children born of par
ents of whom one was deaf-mute are
afflicted in the same manner, and that
one-third of the children are deaf
mutes when both parents are the sub
jects of that condition. Thus, the pro-
portion of deaf children when both
parents are so affected is more than
three times greater than when only
one parent is, which leads to the con-
clusion that congenital deaf-mutism is
the result of hereditary influences,
which are intensified when coming
from both parents. There are often
several deaf children in a family. 1t
has been found that about forty per
cent. of congenital deaf-mutes had
deaf and dumb brothers. Consan-
guineous marriages are believed to
play part in favorinS congenital deaf
ness. tuberculosis and drunkenness
also appear as causes.-New York Tri.

The best kind of grasses to SOW upon
a marsh subject to overflow, according
to some of the best authorities, are
four pounds red top, two of fowl
meadow grass, four of timothy and one
or two OF alsike clover per acre. In
many cases low lands can be easily
drained or partially freed of water by
the digging of one or two bitches. If
this can be done, it surely should be
practiced, for low lands are the rich
est and best for grasses.

The military autocar of Mr.. Z. J.
Pennington, the English inventor, is
mounted on wheels with four-inch
solid rubber tires, is driven by six
teen-horse- power engine, and carries
two rapid firing guns, with suitable
shields for the two operators. A speed
of forty-fye miles an hour is said to
be possible, the guns, each provided
with 500 rounds of ammunition, being
capable of firing at the variable rate
of fifty to 700 rounds minute, with
the car in motion or at rest If de.

matically during firing, and, in case
of the operators being shot after firing
is commenced, they will continue in
operation until the ammunition is ex.

The latest use for glass is instead OF
gold as a material for stopping decay

glass, but is prepared by some new
patented process which renders it soft

The Oldest PIow-NIaker.

Chicago has the oldest plow maker
in the United States. His name is
David Bradley, and he is at the head
of a big manufacturing company on
the west side. Mr.. Bradley first
worked at the business in Syracuse,
n. Y, in 1882. In 1885 he came to
Chicago, which then numbered about
2500 inhabitants and camp of several
thousand Indians, to help erect the
first iron-foundry established here.
Mr.. Bradley was the first man to bring
pig-iron into Chicago. In connection
with the foundry which he helped build
was a machineshop, and the establish
ment soon began along with its other
business the manufacture of plows.
Mr.. Bradley, by the growth of his
business, was finally forced to build a
little town of his own, which is known
as Bradley, Ill. Mr.. Bradley has
passed his eighty-fifth birthday, but
is still hale and hearty, and thoroughly
enjoys the prosperity which hard work
has brought him. The active business
has been surrendered to the sons.-
