Young Turkeys.

In raising young turkeys keep them
dry and guard against lice. The mites
arc not the only ones that attack them,
but the large head lice destroy many.
Lice pass from the mother to the
young. When the young turkeys are
Matched dust both the young turkeys
and the hen with fresh insect powder
and rub q drop Of olive Oil on the
heads. Do this once q week. Feed
the young turkeys every two hours;
they do not eat much, but eat often.
Keep a small box of ground bone
where they can get it, and some wa
ter in which the young turkeys cannot
get wet, as the least dampness will be
fatal. If they droop, look for lice, as
nearly one-half Of the young turkeys
die from that cause: search closely on
the skin of the heads and necks. Be
careful. as too much grease of any
kline is injurious. The coops and runs
must also be cleaned. They must not
be fed until t~hirty-siX hours old; then
give curds and stale bread. the bread
being first dipped in fresh milk. Rolled
oats may be kept in a box for them,
and finely-chopped hard boiled eggs
may also be given. An egg, broken,
and added to a gill of fresh warm
milk, is excellent, but should be thick
ened with bread. Chopped onions may
also be added to the mixture. The tur.
keys may be given anything they will
eat, but they are very dainty and will
not accept all kinds Of food. Cracked
corn and wheat may be kept before
them. Until they shoot the red"
which will be when they are ten or
twelve weeks old, they will be tender,
but after that time they will be hardy
and then may be allowed to forage
for themselves. The good care at first
in keeping them dry and free from lice,
will bring the loss down to 4 minimum,

pays better than :: good crop of tur.

Japanese Army Uniform.

The Japanese army uniform is like
the Americans before khaki and olive
drab came into vogue. Generally it is
heavy, dark blue, with long, hooded
%overcoats. The infantry is distin-
guished by red trouser stripes and
coat markings; the artillery has yellow
stripes; the medical corps, green; the
transport service, light blue; the en-
gineers darker red than the infantry,
and the cavalry have red trousers
striped on the seam with green and
a short jacket trimmed with yellow.
All arms of the service wear the same
tall blue cap trimmed with yellow,
except the imperial guard, whose caps
have red decorations. The imperial
guard is a division drawn from every
part of the empire and supposed to
represent the flower of the army. In
the other divisions an effort is made
to keep men from the same district
together. A division is commanded by
a major-general there are no briga-
die%r-generals). A division is composed
of two brigades, each in command Of
a senior colonel. A brigade consists
of two regiments of infantry, a regi-
ment of cavalry, a battalion of engin-
GERS and a battalion of artillery. The
biggest salaried non-commissioned
officer is a first class sergeant" who
receives $4.45 per month.-Tokio Cor

Belt of Calm at Pacific End of Canal.

At the eastern extremity of the canal
the difficulties which a sailing vessel
mag expect to encounter will arise
from a superabundance of wind rather
than the lack of it. At the western
extremity, on the other hand, these
conditions will be completely reversed.
Upon emerging from the canal into
the Pacific Ocean a vessel will enter
an extensive belt of Gains and light
airs, which render navigation by sail
more tedious than in any other fire.

of this region varies--at some points
wide, at others narrow. In that por-

between the American coast and the
meridian of 100 degrees west it

tude from a point one or two degrees
north of the equator to Cape San Lu-

Season For Spraying.

The bordeaux mixture is recognized
as the most reliable of the mixtures
used for spraying fruit trees and plants
as we'll as vegetable plants. and all
growers are now familiar with the for
mula. The causes of failure in spray
ing are generally due to lack Of thor
oughness somewhere in the work. The
materials may not be pure, the pump
used may be faulty, or the spraying
may not be thoroughly done or not
done at the right time, any one Of
which faults makes the spraying more
or less ineffective.
When poisons are to be used it is
best to use them in connection with the
bordeaux mixture. Those who are en-
perienced in spraying have found that
the three-eight inch hose is the best for
use on trees, for it is not so hard to
handle it either attached to q pole or
from a ladder as the heavier hose. In
spraying see that the larger branches
Of the tree and the trunk as we'll are
covered thoroughly; in short, do the
work thoroughly. leaf and branch, and
it will be found that spraying pays.

Points on Care of Lambs.

If the lambs are to be locked this
work should be done when they are
about two weeks old, in order to ac-
complish it with the least amount OF
injury. At this age the loss of blood
will be small and the lamb will nurse
as we'll as usual. After they are fully
recovered and are doing we'll on the
mothers milk. begin to teach them to
eat grain, and this apples to lambs
that are lot locked, for if the lambs
are to lie brought to maturity and con-
sequent prof; early they must get q
good start. See also that they are put
on good grass early, for if they have
learned t; eat grain. though but a
small quantity, the grass will help
them properly to digest the grain. Re
member. the quick grown lamb gives
just that quality to the meat so much
desired by the consumer, so that every
effort should be made to raise the lamb
properly.
