they must not be given complete lib
erty until two or three weeks old. I
have always thought that the delicacy
of young turkeys is due in a measure
to the rapidity with which feathers are
grown. A young chicken retains its
down for several weeks until its body
is we'll grown, but a young turkey be-
gins at once to put out large feathers
on it's wings and tail. This enormous
feather growth saps the vitality of the
body and leaves it an easy prey to
weakness and disease. To overcome
this tendency should be the aim of ev-
ery breeder.-EX.

Breed or Feed, which,

What breed of chickens produces the
best utility fowl" always has been
the subject of inferno Cation; 1T is like
ly to remain so; as we gain knowledge
and experience by breeding any kind,
our opinion of that breed may vary.
BY being placed in the care of an ex>
perienced pOulterer, a fowl unsuccess-
full in the hands of a tyro may yield
good profit; on the other hand, a fowl
whose merit has been proved may
place in the pocket of the same novice
nothing. In successful poultry rails
ing much depends upon the fowl
more depends upon the keeper.
There are a few breeds that may be
easily eliminated when we seek the
''utility fowl" One of these breeds is
the Houdan. Having bred Houdans
for several years, we are prepared to
altogether depart from theory.
A Houdan hen lays about one hum
dred eggs per year,-by actual account
we found ours did even poorer. From
a pen of ten hens that we're we'll hOuS-
ed and fed, between September LIST
and February 18th, were gathered no
more than one dozen practically
none. Six months of moderate laying
with six months of absolute rest, are
qualities apart from the ideal ''utility
fowl" Do not be hoodwinked by the
appearances of the bird, OR by the pen
of the theorist, the Houdon is not
profitable fowl for the farmer.-EX.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-04-05
Raising Turkeys.

After the first laying is completed,
confine the turkey hen in a clean place
with plenty of food and fresh water.
In short time she Will forget her in
clination to sit and be ready for anOth-
er laying. Some successful breeders
have their turkeys lay three times dur
ing the summer and allow them to
rear the last brood. For a common
hen, nine eggs are sufficient for a sit
ting. Throw a handful of lime or sui
phur in the bottom of the nest. This
will drive away mites and the gray
louise. AS rule turkey eggs hatch
well. The first dose that my little tur-
keys receive is a pill in the shape of
one whole black pepper. Each little
mouth is forced open and the pepper
pressed down.
The first food for young turkeys is
Dutch or cottage cheese and their first
drink the whey which is strained from
the curd. Many people think the max
ing of this cheese is quite a task, but
it is in reality very simple. Let the
curd strain through a cOlander and
feed a little at a time ait intervals of
not more than one and one-half hours.
This should be their sole food for two
or three days After this the diet may
be changed to stale bread, soaked in
whey or buttermilk. Boiled eggs are
also valuable The cheese, however,
should be the principal food until the
fowls are a month old. An addition of
a little pepper and oil cake meal is de-
yirable. Corn meal in any form is al
most sure Death.
The hen should be confined in a
clean coop with the Stats far enough
apart to allow the turkeys to pass
freely in and out. Move the coop ev-
cry day and keep everything dry, as
moisture is fatal. After the grass is
thoroughly dry in the morning, turn
the hens out for an hour or two each
day and allow the brood a run, but

Rid the Poultry House of Vermin.

Rid the Poultry House of Vermin.
If your poultry house receives a
thorough cleaning at frequent inter
vals-by this I mean the removal of
all droppings, old straw, broken eggs
(stale), and all other insect breeding
litter that has accumulated from time
to time, and your fowls are provided
With plenty of dry road dust to which
has been added small amount of air.
Stacked lime, so they can enjoy their
daily bath, they will in most cases
keep themselves free from the small
red mite Or spider louise. Not so with
the large grey louise. He is not so easy
to get rid of-no matter how clean
you keep your poultry house the ever
festive body louise can oftimes be
found daily sapping the life blood from
it's victim. In many instances it re-
quires a very diligent search to find
him.
No doubt most of the readers of this
paper know how to get rid of lice, but
the fact remains that they are apt to
disbelieve the presence of lice and as
cribe the results of the work of lice
to some disease and doctor their birds
unnecessarily. Many people wonder
why their young chicks droOp and die
I wonder if it ever occurred to those
people that lice in nine cases out of
ten are the cause I wonder if it ever
occurred to them to look on the neck
or at the side of head below the ears
for the festive head louise; in nine
cases out of ten he will be found snug
ly located among the down or sprout-
ing feathers of his victim.
l consider the following preparation
the best thing for Kidding fowls of
body lice: Bisulphide of carbon, fluid
ounces; dead oil COR crude carbolic
acid, ounces; oil of tar, 2 ounces.
To the above three articles add enough
common coal oil to take one gallon. In
mixing add the coal oil SLOWLY and stir
vigorously.
The articles may be obtained at any
drug store. Do not have light of any
kind about when mixing. Keep we'll
corked when not using.
If the roosts, nest boxes, and sup
ports of the poultry house are painted
once a week with the preparation dur
ing the heated season, it will not only
extricate the fowls from body lice, but
will also kill the mites, bed bugs, etc.,
that have congregated. I have found
it best to paint the poultry house in
the evening just before the fowls go to
roost; they will then get the full bene-
fit of the fumes and the best RESULTS
will follow.
If hen you are about to set is very
lousy, paint the inside of a box with
the formula and cOnfine her for about
two hours. Do not confne your chicks
to this treatment as grease of any kind
is injurious to very young chickens.
At some future time I will give a for
mula for making a harmless insect
powder to be used on young chickens.

tic, on Street, opposite Mcpherson
| Square. and the old Corcoran Art Gallery
, building at the corner of Pennsylvania
| Avenue and Seventeenth Street. have prac

the ofaces of the Attorney General, Solici-

of the several attorneys will be removed to
the Baltic, which is now occupied as a ho-
tel.
The library OF the Department of Justice
will be moved first. This library contains
80. 900 law books, and for a number of years
has been on the fourth floor Of the present
department building. 1t was James A.
Finch, the librarian. who first complained
of the crowded condition of the building,
and suggested that the great and increas-
ing weight of the library was menace
to the stability of the structure and the
lives Of the occupants.
The Architect of the Treasury was asked
for report on the subject of the sound
ness OF the structure. and this report was
not reassuring. The library will be on the
ground floor Of the Corcoran Gallery build
ing in which the statuary formerly stood.
Librarian Finch has perfected a plan by
which the books may be transferred with
out confusion. and by which the arrange
ment Of the library will be much more per-
feet than at present.
The shelving will be put into the lew
quarters next week. Major Strong. gen
eral agent Of the department, was visitor
at the old gallery today, and was an inter-
ested looker-on at the force Of men en-
gagged in cleaning up the place
The lease of the Baltic is to take effect

of renovation will begin. There is a
