the food is always given sweet and

months old. A sharp lookout for lice
should be kept, for if these infest the
poults they fail to thrive; their coop
should be moved daily, and the poults
reared by themselves. Fresh water is
necessity, and they need grit or road
sweepings. To prevent their getting
wet they should be cooped at first on
short grass, and the herbage round
the coop kept short. 1t is not safe
to let the hen or turkey mother have
her liberty at first when rearing them,
as she will run them off their legs.
Let the coop have run in front, and
keep them in it the first week or so.

To hasten growth, some meatmeal and
green food added to the soft food is to
be recommended, though they should
be able to pick up natural meat food
in the shape of insects for themselves.
When the critical time is over, give
them we'll ventilated house, and feed
them four times day-twice on grain
and twice on soft food. If it is safe

sleep in shrubs or trees; when they do
this they are sure to be healthy. If
space is limited or the ground much
used for other poultry, turkey-rear-
ing should not be attempted; they
need space and sweet ground to thrive.

But the Cuban was dead. That night
the captain stood by his grave. And
from that time he carried about with
him and ever increasing weight. There
was load on his breast, and in his
mind ran ever a formula: "Five per-
cent on ten thousand dollars is five
hundred dollars year. Five hundred
dollars will pay rent at home and a
servants wages. Five percent on ten
thousand dollars is five hundred dol
lars year. Five hundred dollars will
pay rent" Oh. heavens! To get rid
of the idea-anything He attended his
duty rigidly, spared himself no work.
But always the idea forced its return.

with the words: Give percent OIL ten
thousand dollars is five hundred dol
