for relief; but carry 1t under the
body forward of the center and the
horse again attempts a backward
motion to get away from its effect.
Whenever horse is seen to try
the passage of a narrow doorway,
gate, or between two posts, which
makes pressure on both his sides, if
he gets more than half way through,
1t is next to impossible to back him
out. He seems determined to go on
through, even If his hips are broken
down in the attempt.
AS illustration of leading the dog
for the first time is the same as that

same, and if the leader is in a hurry
he will go dragging the dog. But

every old man know the direction a
dog will take with a tin can tied to
his tail?
Now, should not these we'll known
facts in relation to the natural laws

forward they will work in conform
ity with them instead of everlast-
ingly opposing them for the trouble
that can be so easily avoided?

reasons why certain sections cannot
successfully grow them. A country
noted as a turkey growing state will
have Its crop considerably shortened
by unsettled weather after the spring
rains. Mrs. Hen Turkey needs no
rain, save an occasional shower to
cool off the atmosphere and freshen
trees and grasses after she has laid
her eggs. She usually hides these
in the brush or hay fields in turkey
growing sections. for there the rails
ers are not fearful of weather. In
this section rain of great force
would drown all the poults Matched
and flood the nests on the ground
with two or three inches of water.
This would annihilate over 95 per
cent of the first crop. The second
matches would be too late in attaining
marketable size to be worthy of note.
Where the climate is considered as
being poor for turkeys, growers give
every care to them. They never
bother the hen from the time she be-
gins to lay her first clutch until she
begins to sit. Each day the egg laid
is removed and when the time comes
| it is set" in an incubator. The
turkeys are naCCneQ Dy q STEADY DARN
yard hen as she is given the eggs
about three or four days before due
The reason is this: Poults are hard
to rear by hand and in brooders, and
the turkey hen is robbed that she may
continue to lay. A domestic hen will
stand confinement we'll, but turkey
hen frets and tramps about in coop
until half of the poults are killed and
she viii not hover the youngsters
when they need it. This is fatal.
Cold and dampness are avoided with
the use of a kind barnyard hen, as
they are brooding continually, and,
standing confinement, can be placed
in sheltered places where dampness
cannot hurt the poults. This method
| is used in some places where turkeys
would naturally do we'll because OF
Its usefulness in raising more than
the usual number. One young wo-
man in Texas who annually rears
from 900 to 1000 turkeys uses the
methods here described We have
never known of poults being Matched
by turkey or domestic hens and then

News of the Farm.

Before placing the potatoes in the
cellar for the winter, let them rest in
dark, cool place for at least a
month. The room in the cellar
should be separated from everything
else, and be kept cool and dry.
There are hundreds of thousands of
acres of good farming land lying idle
at this moment, simply because the
owners have not studied drainage. A
system of thing costing 500 will often
reclaim $500 worth of good land.
Fixed rations are all right, if plenty
of common sense is mixed with them,
but it is a mistake to stick to one
thing when the animals appetite and
your own good judgment tells you
something else ought to be used.
The price of wire fencing has stead
lily advanced, while the quality has
steadily deteriorated. Some of the
fencing now sold is almost worthless,

that some of them might get away!
Illinois is ordinarily damp state for
turkeys, but in 1900 nearly 100000
were raised there. Texas raised $780,
900 the same year; Kansas a few
thousand more than Texas; New York
is credited with 100000 turkeys in
1900, but in 1890 she managed to
raise four times as many. Indiana.
Ohio and Iowa raise nearly the same
number each, though Iowa claims the
largest number.
Tho per cent OF families where the
national bird is not found on Thanks
giving is very small, and in bounteous
years this per cent is hard to find in
deed. Years when the prices go soar
ing because of the supply being so
much smaller than the demand, cause
the crop to be taken quite clean. Even
too many are sold for the next breed
ing seasons good. Pet turkeys that
are raised by hand by the sons or
daughters of the farm are sacrificed
in years when prices are good. Per-
sonal likes and love for the pets are
not taken into consideration when the
turkey buyers comes to the farm. On
small farms the turkeys are hauled to
market by the woman Of the farm
but thousands of f1ocks are driven
into market in Texas, western Ne
braska and Kansas. Buyers scour the
country weeks before we begin to get
ready for Thanksgiving and contract
! in advance for every turkey they can
buy. The early buyer generally gets
the birds If he is offering good
price. but many times there is spir-
tied bidding for the choice fiocks by
as many as a dozen buyers.

from the proceeds of his flock Of tur-
keys, as particular buyers knew how
he got out early broods, fed bone
making feeds, herded them daily in
wheat fields and meadows where mil
lions of grasshoppers were to be had;
how he fattened them wholly on old
corn, and drove miles with some one
to help him gather acorns for finish
ing feed. He raised few acres of
mammoth sunflowers each year, be-
cause he discovered that the oil in
them made a glossy feather unlike
any other seed. Plumage and health
are two great factors in the sale of
whole focks to large shippers. A
brother has taken up the work of tur-
key growing where this one left off,
and he, too, is succeeding.
The crop of turkeys for 1905 has
been estimated as being much lighter
than last years, which will make
them somewhat more expensive in
price. To raise prices trifle more,
the chicken and waterfowl crop is
20 per cent less than the previous
season. Possibly the crop is even
lighter than this. The season in the
west is unusually late and more small
Hence, thirty to thirty-five Founders
will be in greater demand for family
reunions. But 1t is not the large tur-
key that tastes best by any means.
Medium size is preferred by the aver
age buyer. Inquiries in Wisconsin,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and
Indiana all substantiate the lateness
of the turkey crop again this year.
This year farmers are in no need of
early fall cash, as their crops are
good, and they are fortunate, as every
day adds to their turkeys value
Kentucky is one OF the states pro-
ducing good turkeys. Most of them
"just grow there without any par
ticular raising. From the single buy
| ing station of Lexington more than
two and a half million pounds Of tur-
key meat was shipped out last last
season. This means sixty-nine car
loads of turkey meat of twenty tons
each. The whole number of turkeys
shipped from this state is something
enormous, and the figures run so high

Zine, fine" replied the poet,
Horses and Men.

Society owes to the horse debt
of gratitude thousand times greater
than it does to thousands of men who
abuse him. He has ministered to
progress; has made social intercourse
possible when otherwise it would
have been slow and occasional or
altogether impossible; he has yirtu-
ally extended the strength of man, aug
mented his speed, doubled his time,
decreased his burdens, and, becom-
ing his slave, he has relieved him from
drudgery and made him free. For

horse needs to be bred, trained and

GIVE HOGS GOOD AIR.
Ventilation, an Important Feature of
Winter Houses, Too Often
Neglected.
is, C., Miller.)
Is. c, Miller.)


Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation Of their
winter quarters, or If they attempt to
ventilate at all, they do little more
than leave a few cracks around the
bottom through which the cold air
can get in, but provide no way for it
to get out.
Experience has shown that drafts
are the prime promoters of colds,
which develop into pneumonia, and
what is generally known as swine
fever.
1t Is important that the bottom
boards of the hog house should be
thoroughly we'll battened and the d.
visions between the pens should be
treated in the same way.
Ample ventilation should be pro-
ylded from the top of the house and
not by underneath drafts. Who has
not seen hogs piled upon each other
in cold weather, shivering, fighting
to get into warm place? Under
such conditions, 1t is impossible for
hog to put on flesh, and there are
cold, which may develop into serious
lung trouble.
No less important than proper ven
tilation is drainage. A floor that will
be absolutely impervious to dampness
can be made OF four parts gravel to
one o. cement. making floor Of one
and a half inch thickness and top
ping off with half an inch of sand
and cement in the proportions of two
parts sand to one of cement.
! This will give a two-inch floor, per-
fectly smooth and easy to sweep and
clean. 1t should have pretty sharp
fall. at least one-half inch per foot
from one end to the other, in order
that the liquid manure can be drained
into q proper receptacle for distribu-
ton to various parts Of the farm.
The floors. of hog houses should be
thoroughly cleaned every day. The
bedding should be kept dry, even IL
It has to be spread out in another
part of the building and replaced
every evening. Hogs will not thrive
in damp, dirty, draughty quarters, and
the man who attempts to raise them
for market under these conditions is
simply working against himself. He
not only loses the greater portion of

well.
Overhead ventilation Is easily Sc
cured by leaving an open space of
say six inches between the top Of the
outside wall and the Roof. An En-
glish farmer, who has had great sue
cess with hogs, builds his houses with
q section OF the wall hung on swivel
pin In the middle, which can be flung
open whenever sunlight and air is
needed When the section is released,
1t swings back into an upright posi-
ton by gravitation.
In order to let the rays of the sun
into every part Of the building, the
houses have been laid out north and
south, so that by opening the wall
shutters on the east side, the morn
ing sun is let in. and by opening
those on the west side, the rays of the

AS an item of information, will
some one come forward with the num-
Der Of city folks who know nothing
of where their Thanksgiving turkeys
come from? There are no statistics
on this topic. Thousands of readers
have an idea that Thanksgiving tur-
keys come from any farm, but such
is not the case. Every farmers wife
cannot raise turkeys, for it requires
ore who has an abundance of pa
thence and world of persistence.
Some localities are fatal to the grow
ing of turkeys, while others are such
that they thrive and multiply with
out any considerable aid. Dampness,
late springs, too short summers, and
unsettled summer weather shorten
the turkey crop in every locality
whe1e found. These are some of the
