Raising Young Turkeys.

The main points in raising young
turkeys are to keep them dry, and
to guard against lice. Not only
the mites attack them, but also the
large head-lice destroy them. Lice
pass from the mother to the young.
As soon as they are Matched, dust
both the hen and young with fresh
insect powder, and rub one drop Of
sweet-oil on the heads. Do this
once week. Young turkeys should
be fed every two hours. They do
not eat much at time but they eat
often. Keep small box of ground
bone where they can reach it, and
give water in vessels that will not
permit them to get wet. Bear in
mind that the least dampness to
them will be fatal. Should they
droop look for lice. Search closely
in the skin of the head and neck of
each, and use as remedy one or two
drops of sweet oil. Too much
grease of any kind is injurious to
them. Have the coops and runs
clean Do not feed them until they
are 36 hours old; then give curds
and stale bread, the bread being
first dipped i'll fresh milk. Rolled
oats may be kept before them in a
box. Finely-chopped, hard-boiled
eggs once day may be given, and
an egg, broken, and the contents
we'll beaten into gill of fresh milk,
which may be warmed, (not boiled),
and thickened with bread, is ex-
cellent. Chopped onions also may
be added to the mixture. Give
them anything that they will eat.
They are very dainty and will not
accept all kinds of food. Wheat
and cracked corn may also be kept
before them. Until they ''shoot the
red, - which will be when they are
about II weeks old, they will be
tender, but after that time they will
be hardy, and may then be allowed
to forage and help themselves. The
good care at first, in keeping them
dry and free of lice, will bring the
loss down to a minimum. and
though it may be tedious work, yet
nothing pays better than a good
crop of turkeys.

Suggestions as TO Green Food.

The idea Of embarking in new
business often enters ones mind at
an inopportune season for that
particular business. Thus he may
decide 70 start dairy in the spring,
without having i'll the previous fall
made suitable preparations for feed.
With no winter crops growing, he
is confronted by the problem Of
grazing and green feed, among
others.
In such a case spring oats may
be the first thing looked to for green
feed. They come in from the 10Th
TO the 30th Of May about two
acres for ten or twelve COWS. This
will yield from four to six tons of
green feed per acre.
The next crop might be Warren S
extra early cowpeas, coming in
from the 25th of June to the Doth of
July. The yield is from four 10
five tons per acre.
Hickory King corn, planted in
drills three feet apart and cultivated
lightly, should follow the peas. 1t
will come in ordinarily from the
10th of July to the 10th of August.
He should plant three acres for the
number of cows mentioned, and the
yield is from three to four tons per
acre.
Early Orange Sorghum and
Whippoorwill peas planted a week
or two apart, can be used till frost.
Plant iii drills two and half feet
apart. If too much sorghum is put
i'll the peas will be so much shaded
as to prevent a good growth. This
crop will yield from ten to fourteen
tons per acre.
If the prospective dairyman has
any tame pastures he should be able
to get sufficient grazing until the
spring sown soiling crops come III.
Though belated, these sugges-
tons might with profit be remem-
bered for an emergency.

Seedless Apples on
blossom HESS Trees.

Sharing honors W ith the wireless
telegraph, slnokele ss coal and
mlcrobeless water d | the World S
Far IS an exhibit Of seedless apples.
California contributed some seed
less oranges and Florida seedless
pears, but 1t remain ed for Colorado
to produce the apple without core.
Not only has this fruit ali absence
of seed, but the tired upon which it
IS grown Is blossontless. Mr. John
F. Spencer of CT and Junction is
father of the speci rs and he SAYS
that the seedless apple is also
inlmupe from the II vages of insects.
Horticulturists who visit the
Worlds Fair are greatly interested
in the exhibit, as the culture of the
fruit IS regarded as an important
discovery. Mr.. Spencer is now
experimenting with the various
varieties of apples and he believes
that he can develop seedless
Wlnesap, a seedless Gano and other
favorite species. If he is successful
1t IS likely that other fruit growers
will follow his example.
1t is claimed that the seedless
apple is not hurt by the frost be-
cause it has no blossoms. 1t is a
hardy grower and thrives abundant
ly III the Colorado climate. These
advantages in it behalf recommend
it to all orchard lists. The Spencer
display is made III the Colorado
exhibit in the Palace of Horticul-
ture. Several bushels of the fruit
are in cold storage mad the supply
IS constantly kept fresh.

Politics in Latah County

Jacksonville, May 26. Notwith-
standing the fact that the county
convention is some four months
distant the political pot is begin
ming to hum d ute merrily. While
we are concerned with the whole
list of politica aspirants our
politicians ar most interested in
congressman and county officers.
The views of our people are voiced
in an intervi ew with prominent
Republican a few weeks since. In
part he said !:
Mr. Bur ton L. French is an
able and brilliant scholar, a
magnetic orator, all untiring worker
with a natural aptitude for legisla-
ture work and above all, he has
proved that at all times he is true
to his party, his trends and himself.
He has al ways been a true-blue
Republican and his services to that
party in county and state campaigns
is SO we'll k nown that it need not
be reiterated.
Gas Idaho has but one congress-
man it behDoveS us to make a wise
choice. We want a broad minded,
industrious and conscientious man
one who understands the needs
of his constituents and who has the
backbone to promote their interests
in the fac of grave difficulties
Burton L. French is Just that sort
of man and Idaho owes it to itself
to keep h i'm there.
mot only the people of Latah
county w ant French, but through
the state he is the peoples choice.
At the cd ming convention he will
receive he full support of the Re-
