You wish to know something
about growing turkeys? Well:
Don't let the young turkeys
get wet.
Don't feed them inside of "a
hours after they come out Of the
>hells.
Keep them free from lice by
listing them with Persian insect
powder. Dust the hen, too.
Don't neglect the mites and the
big lice. Greasing will drive
them off.
Don't let the turklets run on
dirty ranges or in filthy quar-
ters.
Give water in swaziland shallow
dishes.
During the first week feed
them with sifted, rolled or ground
oats, cooked and crumbled and
mixed with beaten egg. With
this give them milk and curd.
Feed them five or six times
day.
Add a little raw meat, fine
chopped onion and green food
daily.
During the second week put
wheat and ground bone in coxes
where they can get at it, and give
them three daily feeds of mixed
cornmeal, wheat middlings and
ground oats, cooked, and mixed
with chopped geen food.
Thereafter supply them with
cooked rice or turnips or pota-
toes.
Remove the coops to fresh
ground frequently in order to
avoid filth.

THE DEMOCRATIC II
PRIMARY A FROST


The Democrats can get very little
consolation out of sthe primary held
last Saturday. No interest whatever
was manifested and it was not appar-
cnt that anything unusual was taking
place even in the locality Of the polls.
Scarcely forty per cent of the Demo-
cratic vote of the district was polled,
this would indicate that the remain
der either thought there was little
choice between the applicants, or that
they would wait future developments
with the hope of getting better man
TO vote for.
1t is conceded that the Democrats
had poor timber to select from, and
this no doubt caused the lack of inter
est.
Mr.. Grassland has reascn to be
proud of his race against the most I'M
scrupulous machine that ever was in
charge Of any party. He was sat on
when the committee, through fear Of
defeat, ordered an early primary, and
every one familiar with politics real.
lied when this occurred that it meant
the defeat Of the candidate that the
machine did not favor.
The friends Of Mr.. Grassland are
very sore. 1t is claimed that fully
so per cent OF them will not support
the nominee and from the treatment
received at the hands of the machine
committee they seem to be justified.

GLASS nRIC-A-RRACg

Glass, though proVerbially brittle,
will stand any. amount of hard usage;
but once it is broken the only thing
that remains to be done is to throw it
away. Cementing will not do much
good. If the stem of wine glass or
vase is broken mending is sometimes
possible by applying to the joints some
easily fusible cement, such as shellac
through a silver tube.
Glass that has been properly an
nealed will stand variations of tenn

this total S,403 million gallons was
