eggs for sale. Nor can one expect
purchasers to seek for the best, as
they may not know where to procure
the supply. The proper plan is to
go among those who will buy and
build up a custom. Let it be known
that they can get better eggs from
you than from the stores, and there
will be no difficulty in selling them,
nor is it necessary to go very far in
some sections, as eggs are salable
everywhere, and, for cash, at better
prices than any other product on the
farm.
Coera and Indigestion
Instead of fowl cholera being a
common disease it is very rare. Near
ly all cases of bowel disease are de-
nominated as cholera because of the
supposition that it is liable to occur
at any time. When hens begin to die
from the attacks of lice it is some
times attributed to cholera. The fol-
lowing are the indications of cholera:
First, the hens have an immense
thirst, and drink nearly all of the
time. Second, they get well or die
within thirty-siX hours, and as a rule
much sooner. There is no long dura-
ton of the disease; it makes short
work, and leaves nearly all dead by
the time it appears Most OF the sup

Facilitating Work

There are some implements which
the poultryman should procure, not
only because of their efficiency, but
because they are labor saving. Every
person who keeps poultry should have
a sprayer, so as to spray the houses
and yards, and prevent lice and dis
ease A wheel hoe is excellent for
cleaning the yards, by loosening the
top soil; or, what is better, the hand
pillow or hand-cultivator may be used.
A bone cutter, feed cutter Zone that
cuts fine), and small bone grinding
mill, with perhaps a cauldron should
be among the list of articles. The
bone cutter cuts, not grinds, green
bone, and the bone mill grinds hard
bones and oyster shells and cracks
wheat and corn. The work of de-
stroying lice and disinfecting the
poultry house can be done in few
minutes with a sprayer, when such
work should require an hour or SO
performed without it's aid. On light
soils, handplow will take the place
of spade in turning up the top soil,
and the work can be done in a short
time as well as in a satisfactory man
ner.
Get Better Prices
The egg market is one that is never
oversupplied. There are thousands
of dozens of eggs shipped to market,
but no matter how many may arrive
there is a demand for those that are
choice. 1t is not necessary to send
eggs to large cities to get good prices,
for in every town and village will be
found a class of buyers who desire
only strictly prime eggs, and they
are willing to pay something more
than the usual price for them The
reason some do not get higher prices
is because they do not make known
the fact that they have extra quality

pieces of bread slightly softened, cold
potatoes, cooked vegetables, etc., but
no raw Indian meal, neither cracked
corn nor wheat until they are six
weeks old and then let some other
softened food be added to their bill
of fare.
For some time l feed the chickens
four times a day just what they will
consume and keep fresh water be-
fore them at all times; move the
coops to a clean place often as they
become foul, as sanitary conditions
must be strictly observed to secure
success. | seldom lose chick from
disease, and by August they are near
ly full grown, getting their living by
roaming over the grain fields, sleek
and fat, and worthy of prize at any
chicken show. Inexperienced persons
think that it requires no care to raise
poultry, but they soon find out their
mistake, as friends of mine did. They
came from a western city, where they
left a lucrative business to get rich
by farming and poultry raising. They
bought a lot of hens at high price
and set them until they Matched 100
chickens, and from ignorance lost
nearly every one, Notwithstanding
the fact that they took a paper de-
voted to poultry raising.
During the early part of the sum-
mer my friend came to me in tears
to learn if possible what allied her
chickens, as they were all dying off
rapidly She said she could scarcely
cross the yard without stepping on a
sick or dead chicken. Of course, | in
quired into her methods and manage
ment She said she had fed them SOLE
ly on corn meal stirred in cold water,
which she placed in heaps here and
there, where they could help them
selves when hungry throughout the
day. Except giving water, this was
all the attention they received. AS
a warning, | will say here, beware of
corn meal fed raw to young chicks;
if fed at all, let it first be baked like
bread. AS far as l know, this was the
last venture my friend ever made in
the poultry business. Failure is many
times more profitable to us than sue
cess, as my friends soon returned to
the city and went back to their legiti-
mate business.

Raising Early Chickens

A correspondent with considerable
experience, writes as follows regard
ing the raising of early chickens. If
possible set two hens at the same
time, so as to hatch about the middle
of April or first of May, and if their
progeny is not too numerous, we give
the none hen. | place the hen in a
good sized coop after thoroughly
busting her with Persian powder, so
as to destroy, if possible, all traces of
vermin before they reach the young
chickens, as lice cause nearly all the
ailments that afflict the hen family.
For the first few weeks, feed frag-
ments from the table, anything

Notes On Turkey Raising


Do not depend entirely upon young
birds for breeders. 1t is better to
nave nothing that is not at least
vearling. If you must use some young
blood. have males and females OF Oil
fferent ages. That is, if the tom is
two years old, he may be mated with
bullets. If he is a cockerel, mate him
with hens. But if possible, have
breeding hens over one year old.
They must be vigorous, (Which means
health). strong and of good medium
size. Some people make the mistake
of selling all their larger birds, and
keeping the inferior stock because 1t
will not bring as much. If you have
the idea that any old thing Will do TO
breed from, it will not take prophet
or the son of prophet to foretell
vour dismal failure, and you will be
added to the number OF those VINO de
clare that turkeys don't pay
Overly large turkey hens Will not
lay as many eggs as those OF medium
size. and they are much more likely
to be infertile. The craze Tor great
size over-reaches itself, and destroys
the symmetry of the breed, and de-
feats it's own purpose. The same IS
true of the male bird, as has already
been said A tom of good medium
weight, well-shaped, following Stand
ard requirements in every Sectlon,
and well endowed with health,
strength and activity, is the best in
vestment in the way OF new blood.
Inbreeding may do in the case OF
other fowls, but it is fatal to turkeys.
This has been tried and thoroughly
proved. There should be not even
the most distant kinship. The theory
which seems best to stand the test is
that the size of the young flock is IN
fuenced by the female, the color and
shape by the male. No flock should
be culled so severely as the turkeys.
Keep only the very best young birds
for breeders, either for yourselves or
for others. Particularly weed out the
understood hens that lack strength
and vigOr They never can be de-
pended upon to give any young that
will stand the vicssitudes of life. Re-
member this, for it is not theory, but
fact.
Since the male bird is half the flock
nothing but the best should be placed
at it head. Right here is where
thousands of amateurs make great
mistake The really good girds are
expensive, it is true, but if turkeys
are going to be raised, it ma ymake
all the difference between a crafty
ing, profitable success and dis
heartening failure and loss whether
you are willing to pay the price OF
really good bird, or content yourself
with a cheaper substitute. There is
not a fancier, who sells turkeys for
breeding purposes but is in almost
daily receipt of letters stating that
since the writer's raise turkeys for
market alone, they cannot pay fan
cy price. They want one of his cheap
er birds

FOLK FOR GOVERNOR.

The nomination of Joseph w. Folk .
to be governor of the great State o:
Missouri, a nomination that is equiG
alent to an election, should be no en-
ouragcment to all who believe that |
the best way to conduct a public Office |
is to conduct it honOrably, to be true I
to the oath every public officer must /
take before he enters upon the dis
charge of his duties. Mr.. Folk is to
be the next governor of Missouri be-
cause he is honest, because he is
brave, because he has done his duty.
AS circuit, or prosecuting attorney,
an Office that has not been hitherfore
been considered an important one in
St. Louis, Joseph w. Folk has become
known throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
1t is a rather striking commentary
on American politics that this St.
Louis prosecutor should have become
famous simply because he did his duty.
There are hundreds of prosecuting at
torneys in the United States. Is Mr..
Folk the only one that has done his
duty? We cannot believe he is. But
he is the most conspicuous example
America affords of how great work a
single honest official can accomplish.
And it is more than encouraging to see
that his work has been appreciated by
those who knew it and him best.
If the politicians Of Missouri hal
had their say the candidacy of Mr..
Folk for the gubernatorial nomination
would hardly have progressed beyond
the announcement stage. He could not
have secured the support of one-twen-
tieth of the politicians. Why? be-
cause the politicians hate Joseph w.
Folk as they as they hate no man who
has achieved prominence recently in
Missouri The politicians hate him
because they have not ben able to con.
troll him; because regardless of wealth
or prestige or influence he has sent
criminals to prison where they be
longed.
Folk owes his nomination to the
people of Missouri and the people viii
see to it that he is elected by perhaps
the greatest majority ever given can
didate for governor. Folk is goins
into the executive chair and the da'
he takes his seat the political vulture
that have been tearing at the postrat'
body Of Missouri will be driven int
the Businesses of oblivion. The PEI
pie know, from Mr.. Folks record il
ST. Louis, that he will be governO
of'whom they will have every reason
to be proud.
