Trials of q Turkey Raiser.

Members of the House of Representa-
tives are having quite a lot of fun al
the expense of Representative Charles
d. Lands of Indiana, who has beer
making some experiments in turkey
raising.
Representative Lands bought a few
pairs of bronze turkeys, paying big
price for them, spent lot of money in
a turkey house, with all the comforts
of turkey home, heated rooms for the
expected chicks, etc., and laid in stock
of literature on how to get rich on tur.
key raising.
At the outset one of the finest hens
became dissatisfied with the Injuries of
home and finding the trammels Of the
modern method distasteful made off for
the woods. The other hens stayed at
home, however, and in due time
brought out five broods of fifteen or So,
fine little chicks. They were being ten.
derby reared but one day escaped and
went into a wheat field for change of
diet. A rain storm overlook them
they caught cold and every young
turkey died. Turkey-raiser Lands was
disconsolate over his loss and while
he was bewailing the fate Of the young
brood, in stalled the insurgent turkey
hen from the woods and behind her
was a husky brood Of woodland raised

Keeping Records on the rarn.

The Bureau Of Animal Industry has
published q very valuable book giving
Records Of Dairy Cows in the United
States" This publication contains
valuable information and excellent
halftone illustrations Of record cows Of
the country. It urges dairymen to
adopt better business methods on the
farm-a complete system of bookkeep-
ing whereby definite knowledge of the
sources Of profit and loss may be ascer-
tanned. In no department connected
with the farm is there more need for
absolute data than in the dairy. While
village merchants and grocers, for ex-
ample average about alike in their
knowledge of their businesses, their
prices and profits being nearly equal,
the records show that there are pro-
gressive and unprogressive dairymen,
one making a good profit while his
next door neighbor with the same soil
and market may be losing money. The
difference in their profits therefore
must be accounted for largely by the
difference in the intelligence put into
their business Experts of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture believe that one.
fourth of the cows in the entire coun-
try kept for milk do not pay for the
cost of keeping and nearly one-fourth
more fail to yield an annual profit. The
object of the book issued by the Bureau
is to show dairymen the importance Of
keeping records complete enough so
that it will be possible to avoid the
handling of improbable animals and
to bring the dairy industry of the coun-
try up to a paying basis.
