ABOUT U
Should Be Forced Forward MS Much
as Possible Immediately After
the Matching.

For the first food give some finely
cut onion-tops mixed with hard
boiled eggs, and crushed wheat or
b~readcrumbs. Finely chopped onion
tops are always relished. The young
turkeys are keen on picking. out from
their diet those articles which they
most prefer. Stale bread and curds
are accepted. Dampness, whether
from rain, dew or from any other
cause, is fatal to very young tur-
keys. In a few weeks the diet may
consist mostly of grain and a varie-
ty. In addition it is a good plan
to tie up a vegetable of some sort
just so high that the birds must
stand well up to pick at it. This
is good food, and the exercise is
beneficial. Where grain is grown the
birds as they come on should be
given the run of the stubble-felds,
where they will pick up much food
for themselves. A point in feeding
young turkeys is to give them food
four or five times a day-all they will
eat-but clean away that which is I'M
eaten, as it may ferment and injure
them. A little millet-seed may be
scattered for them to seek, and they
may be turned out with the hen from
nine o'clock in the morning until five
in the afternoon, but must not be
allowed among other lots of tur-
keys or chicks, in order to avoid lice.
The large lice on the heads come
from the hen turkey and quickly de-
stroy the young ones. Dust them
with inscct-powder, and rub it on
their heads. Hatch the first eggs un-
der (chicken) hens.-Farm and Fire

GOOD HIVES FOR BEES.
Work Thnt Should BE Done as Soon
al the Busy Little Insects Be-
gin Their Work.

Hives become unfit for good manipu-.
%lation, and if not cleaned up every
spring and put in good order we lose
a great part of their usefulness. Bees
carry in large quantities of propolis or
bee glue, and plaster it over the inside
of the hives and yer the frames in
such quantities that it almost disqual-
lies the frame hive for the use it is
intended. Bees also build burr combs
around the edges of the frames, and
about in the inside of the hive; this
also blocks good handling. While hives
are made to prevent the building of
burr combs as much as possible no
hives entirely prevent it.
During the honey season bees fire.
in which they store honey SO wide
that they can scarcely be'placed back
in the hives without bruising the
combs and killing bees. These combs
should be trimmed down to the proper
thickness by shaving off the surface
with a sharp knife. The frames should
be cleaned of propolis and burr combs,
IuuS putting me lTdulc III Tie beSt
shape for good handling during the
honey season.
We can clean up the hives nicely by
beginning with a cleanone and setting
the frames with contents, bees and all,
into it from another; then this n
may be prepared for the next colony,
and so on until the entire number of
hives are put in good shape and with
but n empty hive to start with.
This is the important work to be
done in spring and should be done just
after the weather gets warm and the
bees are beginning work. Transfer
ring bees from old hives into new ones.
and all the work of cutting out and
Strengthening up the combs in the
frames should be done at this time.
Some who are not well posted become
discouraged with combs that have
turned black and think them worth
less, but by no means is this the case,
for after brood is reared in combs
they all turn black, but are not i'm
paired from usefulness.-A. II. Duff, in

THE EFFECT OF MUSIC.
Ddd Experiments Which Have Re-
suited in sonae Interesting
@ Deductions.

a series of tests have been made
with the ergosraph, which is an instru-
ment to be applied to the muscles Of
the hands and arms, to induce. and
measure fatigue. Until taken up by
neurologists the ergograph has been
used in the psychological study of
school children, says the Catholic
World. 1t consists of two clamps de-
signed to-hold the wrist and forearm
firm, and a tubular continuance to hold
all but one finger straight. The free
finger is then hooked into a small
strap, having a weight at the other
end. In the experiment the subject
is instructed to crook the finger as
long as he can. The vitality is shown
by the length of time the subject can
continue the exercise, and the capacity
for being taught is supposed to be in
dicaetd by the pupil. And here comes
in the influence of music, for it has
been found by experimenting that mu-
sic played during the tests had pro-
duced variations in the results which
can be accounted for in no other way,
For example, lively airs played on the
harp seemed to invigorate the patient
and enable him to keep up the exer-
else for a much longer time, but dreary
melodies decreased the vitality and
rendered the patients arm almost
powerless. The deductions reached by
the physicians interested in the ex-
periments were that musical rhythm
increased the physical wen-being of
the patients and might-be rendered a
powerful means of curing them.

reaching. Chickens to Roost.

The best method to follow for the
smaller breeds is to teach them to go
upon a roost as soon as they are old
enough. Place a ~oost in their coop
as soon as they are old enough to leave
the hen or brooder, SO that they will
learnt habit of roosting, as it keeps
fheirIegs in better APE as to smooth
ness and color. This will not do SO
we'll for larger fowls, as they are SO
heavy and clumsy that it is not of ben
eft to them, for the reason hat it
often bends their breastbone out of
shape. The best plan for them during
the summer is in open sheds upon
clean sand, protected from all rowing
animals by wire cloth fronts to the
sheds. These sheds or runs should be
cleaned up every morning and raked
over so as to keep them clean and
sweet.-Country Gentleman.

BITS R BUZzDoM.

Swarming hives should be kept in
a cool place. A swarm may be in
duced to enter a hot hive, but if it
be too hot they are liable to de-
sert it.
Use young larvae for the rearing
of queen bees. Bees always select
the younger larvae. and apiarists
may well follow the bees in this mat
ter, says Mrs. Ella Henson.
Sometimes, when bees have started
combs, and some eggs are laid, an
extremely hot day will cause them
to desert the hive. This can be
avoided by having the hive in a
shaded place, or by erecting a four
pole simple shade ver it.
Bees seldom desert a hive after
they have made a large beginning on
combs and eggs, or when a frame
of brood is supplied to them.
Close students of bees insist that
bees never gather honey and pollen
on the same trip.
Honey-gatherers carry twice as
heavy loads as Ire gathered by the
pollen-gatherers. The reason for
this is that The honey is heavier than
the pollen, bulk for bulk, and that
the honey is taken into the bees
sack, while the pollen is carried on
the ends of the legs.-Rural World.
The size of the hives must be set
tied by the locality of the apiary.
No one size of hive will answer per-
ffectly i'll all places.

objects upon which a bird may light.
No bait is needed. The trap is simply
opened on top of the pole, where the
bird sets it off and is caught in the act
of alighting, a. OF u the trap
must be firmly secured to the pole.
The device is based on the principle
that birds of prey habitually light on
prominent objects in large open
spaces, where they will have a good
outlook for game. A trap well placed
will, during one season, catch all the
hawks within a radius of several
miles. Owls and other large birds are
also frequently found in the trap. The
longer and the more substantial the
pole's the better it is.-Orange Judd

pnmpness Causes Many Ills.

Protection from dampness is of the
greatest Importance. More injury
to chicks from dampness than
from all else besides. If they can
find a dry spot for their feet dur
ing the day and a warm, dry place
to stay in at night, they will do fair
ly well, even during a long wet
period, after they are three or four
weeks old. Small chicks suffer very
much during wet weather, and should
be protected from both wet and
dampness. Cold and dampness pro-
duce colds and bowel trouble, either
of which is very disastrous to a brood
of chicks. During wet weather it is
not amiss to tie a small piece of gum
camphor with a small stone in a
piece of cloth, and put in their drink
ing water. It is one of the best sim
pie remedies for colds.-Country Gen

Hon. B. B. Doviner, Congressman

icine Co., says the following Of their
catarrh remedy, Peruna:
II join with my colleagues in the
House of Representatives in recon-
mending your excellent remedy,
Peruna, as a good tonic and also an
effective cur for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex, the following: II think
I a say that your good advice and
medicine has cured me of chronic ca
tarrh. I have had no pains in my head
since I have taken Peruna. Ihave been
in bad health ever since $50, and have
taken a good many medicines which
were only of temporary relief, Peruna
is the catarrh cure. The Peruna
stopped my catarrh of the head so
that it did not become chronic, and !
am very thankful for DR.. Hartman's
advice and medicine"
Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal
diseases. It acts quickly and bene-
ficially upon the infamed mucous
membrane thus removing the cause of,
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is essentially the same every
where. The remedy that will cure
catarrh in one situation will cure it in
all situations. .
