TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR.
Head Covered With Humor Sores, With

by CuticuIa Remedies.

"All my life l had been troubled more

itched so it nearly made me crazy; my
hair also began to get dry and fall out.

1ncubators a Necessity.

Those who raise poultry for profit are
rapidly learning that it is better to buy
an incubator for Matching the chicks
than to force the hens to lose time from
laying. This loss of time, to say moth
Ing OF the trouble necessary in looking
after dozen or two hens and chickens,
will more than offset the cost Of an in
cubator in one season.
One OF the principal reasons why in
cubators are not more generally used,
especially by those who raise only a
few hundred chickens, is lack Of knowl-
edge regarding their usefulness. Whes
once the people understand thorough,y
their care and general management,
and are made to see wherein they can
save money by using them, the incu.
bator will occupy a place wherever
poultry is raised.

An Old Letter.


An old, old letter of days gone by,
With words of love on each faded page.
Words which have made women smile
and sigh;
Words which have served sinner, sain,
and sage.
Words over which bright eyes have wept
Or flashed in scorn, as the case might
be;
A treasured letter carefully kept
In sacred corner where none might
see.
But why does her face shown signs OF
ire?
Is the writer false? Is the writer cold
Not SO. He calmly sits by the fire,
And she holds him as dear as in DAYS
of old.
But she can't quite forgive that luckless
note,
Though years have vanished since first
read.
He had to go out of town, he wrote.
And he went to gay stag racket IN.

He doesn't know yet what became of his
And though grandchildren have since been
born
He hasn't yet heard the last of that.

How to Dress TURKEYS.

We have an inquiry from one Of our
readers at Senoia, Ga, asking how to
dress turkeys for shipping, and we
shall, in a general way, give sufficient
information to guide one in this matter.
The first thing to do is to find out
Just what the market wants, whether
dry-picked or scalded, and whether
wanted with feet and heads on or
whether drawn or not.
This information is necessary be-
cause markets differ much. and, Of
course, the public must be pleased. If
to be cry-picked and not drawn the
turkeys muyt have nothing to eat for
twenty-four before being killed, so that
the crops and stomachs may become
entirely emptied. This is important, as
any food left undigested will surely
sour and spoil the sale Of the turkeys.
II head and feet are to be left on the
turkeys are first suspended by the feet
and killed by pressing a sharp-pointed
knife up through roof of mouth into
the brain.
As soon as this is done begin to
pluck the feathers from the body and
complete the job as quickly as posi-
BILE, because after the muscles con-
tract the feathers tighten. Leave the
feathers on up to the first joint Of the
wing and also about two inches on the
head. Wash the beak and feet, but do
not SINCE the body or soil the feathers
on the neck.
Do not remove the crop or intestines.
Hang the fowls in a cool place until the
animal heat has passed out and then
pack in boxes, laying as many on bot
tom with backs down as can be fitted
in without crushing. Then lay in an
other row, reversing their position, and
so continue until the box is filled. If,
when all are packed, there is still room
in the box, fill it with paper or clean
burlap, so that the turkeys will remain
in their positions as packed.
II the market wants them scalded,
with heads and feet of, they may be
fed up to the time Of killing.

Meat For Fowls

During the long winter months the
laying hens must have some kind Of
animal food, and since all natural sup
plies are exhausted we must provide 1t
for them.
Green cut bone is the best and per-
haps the cheapest, though it requires
some labor to grind it for the fowls.
Any kind Of lean meat-the offal
from slaughter houses and similar pro-
ducts, all make fairly good substitutes
for worms and bugs, but, be it what it
may, laying hens must have a meat
diet.
Table scraps make good, well-bal-
anced ration, and where they can be
fed while fresh and sweet, the hens
will need no other meat of any kind.

We have known a number of in.
stances where plan of this kind has
been carried out with much success.
Where one is absolutely sure that the
new meadows will come through the
winter in good shape it is generally
advisable to pillow sod in the fall. This

if the inert material will be sufficiently
browen down to insure q good crop.
However, we like the plan suggested
by this subscriber of getting rid of the
surface tough sod. This in itself viii

scribers have tried this plan and have
found it to be satisfactory we shall
