Young Turkeys.

There is more profit in raising tur-
keys than in almost any other branch
of poultry keeping. The young are, how
ever, exceedingly delicate, and consid-

ing them through the first weeks of their

they are extremely hardy, disease rarely
attacking them after the red spots begin
to appear upon their heads.
The best way to manage, In order TO
get the most eggs from the turkey hens,
is to gather the eggs carefully every day
from the nests when they begin laying,
and this for two reasons: The eggs
are apt to become chilled by exposure
to the cold air of early spring nights;
and secondly, the hen will continue to lay
longer than she otherwise would If they
are removed The first clutch or eggs
should begiven to common hens to hatch,
and the turkey will after few days be-
gin to lay again. These eggs she should
be allowed to sit upon.
Four weeks will be required to hatch
out the little poults, and as fast as they
break the shells they should be removed
(after they get dry from the nest. to a
basket by the kitchen fire during the
day, returning them to the nest at night,
When all are out, remove the hen and
dust her feathers thoroughly with pyre-
thrum, holding her by the feet, head
down, during the process, to insure the
powders reaching the body. This dust
ing should be done once or twice during
the period of incubation, to make sure
the hen is not troubled with lice.
The little turkeys should also be at

upon the hen, they attack the young as

not getting. His orders were that they
should want for nothing. but he desired
personally to know whether these orders
were being carried out. After several
hours of patient investigation and careful
examination he left the camp, satisfied that
the men were being wen cared for as they
could be in field hospital. TIE took 10
officials word for anything. He had gone
to the camp to see for himself. and his
conviction as to the conditions was reached
only after he had come in personal contact
with those conditions. In the hospitals.
he went from ward to ward, almost from
cot to cot stopping every few seconds to
talk to the sick men and cheer them with
kind expression or a grasp Of the hand.
1t was an experience not soon to be for
gotten. Such visit as President McKin-
ley made to Camp Wikoff yesterday is al
most unique in military annals. He went
to the camp. equipped with knowledge.
judgment and experience, to make an in
vesugation. He had served in tie camp
and in the field himself and he knew just
what ought to be expected in the circum
stances. That he was reasonably we'll sat

is in itself a guarantee that they not
far wrong.
Conditions have changed materially dur
ing the third of a century sincs the civil
war. This was noted especially by one of
the old soldiers in our party yesterday. In
the hospitals at Camp Wikoff the patients
have plenty of ice. milk, lemoas and many
delicacieS which were seldom seen in the
field hospitals during the last war Then,
too, each cot is supplied with fresh, clean
sheets and pillow cases every day, and
there are trained female nurses 10 look

things now are the tribute grateful gov

No Intention of Abandoning the Camp
Secretary Alger said there was no inten-
ton OF abandoning Camp Wtkoff. The
troops will be kept there as il may lie
deemed desirable TO keep up the camp. He
pointed out that 1t was essentially de-
tention camp, place of recupera ton, and
not camp Of mobilization. Naturally
therefore. as soon as it had served its
purpose it would pass away AS a military
camp.
A rumor was gwen some currency that the
camp, having been found by the President
to be unsuitable for its purposes, was TO
be abandoned Immediately. This Secre-
tary Alger pronounced to be without foun-
dation. 1t probably grew out CT the order
issued by the President that the regulars
at Camp Wikoff, whose former posts had
been east of the Mississippi river, proceed
as soon as possible to their cid stations
Secretary Alger said that this order had
been decided upon ten days ago and had
no possible relation to the condition of The
camp.

coming closer every year. At this time last
season it was practically settled that only
two clubs had chance for the champion

the Indians were playing at home. This in

Secretary Alger, who inspected Camp

the camp as he found them:
Il feel certain. after a careful exami-
nation of Camp Wikoff and a thorough in

thing possible is being done for the men,
both sick and WELL who are detained there
The camp Is an admirable one--the best.

is beautiful without being picturesque, and
Is certainly healthful a camp location
as could be found in the eastern country.
The Santiago Campaign.
While the conditions are as good as
could reasonably be expected in the cir
cum stances-even better than I ever knew
them to be in camp-a shade of gloom
Is cast over the encampment by the physl-
cal condition of the men. Sickness, suffer
ing and death mar what would otherwise
be magnificent military picture These
coEoitiors, however. are not the result of
the situation of the camp ITSELF but of
the terrible campaign through which the
troops have Just passed. That campaign
of Santiago will be memorable in the mill
tary history Of the world. 1t was won
derful, both in it's conduct and in the re-
suits accomplished. Few military experts
expected when the campaign was inaugu-
rated that such success could be achiev-
ed in so short time. 1t was tremendous
undertaking to begin campaign in a trop-
ical country during the rainy season
against a position naturally SO strong and
so well defended as was Santiago. That
success was achieved as soon and with a
loss comparatively SO small is due to the
energy and ability Of Gen. Shafter and his
&C mmandng officers and to the DASH brav-
cry and splendid fighting qualities of the
men of Gen. Skaters corps.
II talked yesterday with Gen. Shafter and
he discussed some of the obstacles which

SATURDAY GAMES,
WashinEtons Again Defeated by :he
Cincinnati Reds.

The game at Cincinnati Saturday between
the Washington and Cincinnati clubs re-
suited in another defeat for cur represen-
tatives, the score being to in favor OF
the Ewingites. A remarkable part of the
game was the fielding of the Reds. and the
Senators were close upon their heels in
this respect. With the broken UP team
that is now carrying the name of Wash
ington around the country this showing is
simply wonderful. In batting the two
teams were almost evenly divided. eight
hits being made off of Dwyer, while nine
went to the credit Of the Reds off of Di-
neen. The playing of the Cincinnati in
field was the feature Of the game, Vaughn,
McPhee, CorcOran and Irwin handling ~
chances between them without a flaw. Jim
Mcclure played first well. putting out thir-
teen runners and getting in two hits.
