Raising Turkeys.

Will someone kindly breed up q
strain of turkeys that will stay at
home? Such strain would be of ines
Unable benefit to the country at large,
though it would undoubtedly result in
bringing the price Of turkey meat down
to that Of chicken meat or even below.
At present the roaming disposition
of the turkey makes it decidedly un-
safe to attempt to raise turkeys ex-
cept where they can be given the run
of large area. This, of course, makes
it possible for the people situated on
large farms to have a monopoly OF
the business. Many farms there are
where there is a vast amount of land
that Is cheap because it cannot be
used for anything in the way of plant
growth. Yet such semi-wild lands
will do we'll enough to exercise the
turkey upon. There are many farm
ers occupying lands Of the above de-
scription whose wives and children
might make q neat little sum each
year raising turkeys.
The disposition to roam may be al
lowed to exercise itself fully except at
times Of wet or cold. when 1t is better
to keep the turkeys In, especially II
there are any very young turkeys In
the flock. Many cases Of the roup and
like diseases develop from exposure.
and many a young turkey Is killed
by being dragged by the old birds
through the wet grass. With precau-
tons on this line turkey-raising Is
simple matter.

Logunes in Feeding Rations.-The
Storrs Experiment Station Of Connec-
ticut, basing the statement on many
trials in that state, says that the le-
gumes, such as clovers, peas, soy
beans, ETC., should be more largely
grown and more largely used in max
ing up feeding rations. The larger the
proportion of these nitrogenous coarse
folders used in the ration, the less will
be the quantity of the concentrated nj
trogeuous grain feeds which need to be
purchased and used. In other words,
the more these leguminous crops are
grown and used the cheaper will be the
ration fed, if the best results are de-
sired.-EX.

Training to Balk-Many colts are &C.
tually taught to balk, kick, scare and
many other bad habits that render
them almost worthless. This usually
results either from carelessness or try
ing to crowd too much instruction into
a little time. Man with all his intelli-
gence requires from two to five years
to become skilled in any trade. Some
never learn. How can we expect the
horse, that is guided only by instinct,
to know everything after being hitched
half a dozen times? This would be
presmning him to have more sense than
his driver, and many of them have
more horse sense than the driver has
of man sense.-National Stockman.

American Stock Farm says: Horses
throughout Southern Louisiana have
been suffering greatly this summer
from an ailment which the farmers call
blind staggers, but which is really pois-
oning caused by fungi. The disease APP
peared first early in the spring, and
has grown steadily,worse. Both mules
and horses have been affected, but the
mules to less extent than the horses.
The mortality among the horses has
been very high. The cause Of the trou-
BILE was discovered only few days ago.
1t has been noticed that animals kept
in stables escaped. An examination
Of the field disclosed a bountiful
growth Of poisonous fungi due to the
long wet spring and other favorable
conditions. The horses have simply
been poisoning themselves while graz
ing at large"

Butter Plentiful in Colorado.-The
Denver Post says that never before in
the history of Colorado have the manu-
facturers and dealers In oleo made so
little money as they have during the
past four months. The oleo business
has been practically ruined by the
vcr-production of butter. and the state
dairy commissioner, whose principal
duties are to see that the oleo laws
ore cnfo. cel, finds his usefulness gone
for the time being, as result. Prior
TO March Is. oleo was being shipped
into Denver from Chicago and Kan
sas City by the carload. but nowadays
The changed conditions have caused
he article TO be in little or no de-
mand at any price. Dairy Commits
sioner Cannon says that the slump in
the oico market was caused by the
plentiful supply of butter all over the
state.

The Mites.

1t Is said that everything is created
for a purpose. but if anyone can ex-
plain the use of the mite" to me I
will be better informed upon the vari-
Gus uses of insect life than at present.
One thing I know 1t does for me, 1t
makes mo keep cleaner henhouse
than formerly, because IL l did not
clean often fear the myriads Of feet
within might walk away with the en-
tire building. OF all pests the mite"
Is by far the meanest. They multiply
like the larva of the bottle fly,
of which great naturalist once said,
1.-THE eggs OF ten blue-bottle flies can
hatch enough maggots to eat up the
carcass of a horse as quickly as a
lion could do it," So it is with the
eggs Of the risky little insect. One can
clean them all up, and 10! in the even
ing of the next day their numbers are
legion. For three summers ! have
waged war against the things. with
fire and birthstone, and coal oil, and
ashes, and lime, and many "celebrat-
ed" insect destroyers, and yet, when
l would step inside the houses to gath
er the eggs, they would swarm over
my feet and hands like pack Of starv-
ing wolves. But this, the fourth sum-
mer, l determined to purchase no
more "insect exterminators." but to
try the cheap and ever-handy hot
water bath This find to be the most
effective and fatal Of all remedies.
Each day scald-scald. They
cannot Withstand hot water, and be-
sides It is cheap; even most persist
ent and determined mite must wilt be-
fore the scalding wave, and their num-
bers lessen rapidly. Try it. all ye who
are troubled by the little pests.

The bowlers in the North Hudson two
men team tournament commended in the
regular scheduled games of his week last
night on Groth's alleys, and the result
was one of the finest exhibitions that has
been given since the match began, The
contest was a question between the cracks
of Union Hill and the stars of Hoboken,
with results in favor of the latter. Great
interest prevailed, no tournament series
having been rolled with more excitement.
In the first games Brown and Schaefer
and the two Fuller boys had it out. Three
contests were rolled. In the opening game
the Fullers won. Brown and Schaefer
were ahead in the second, out lost the
set in the third. The second games were
more closely rolled than the first. Brown
and Schaefer peat the Kunckers by two
uins in the first, but the latter hit up the
best average in the second. The final
game was lively, and ended in favor Of
Hoboken by two pins. Betting on the
match between the Fuller and Kuncken
teams was free and the hackers were
given a run for their money. The first
game favored the Kunckens by another
margin OF two, but they did poorly in
their next game, and were beaten easily.
steady rolling helped them finally, and
they won the money by nine pins in the
finish. The score:-
