Woman's Long sleep.
A Syracuse woman is said to have
lust awakened from sleep of ten
months. OF course. there Is nothing
abo9t Syracuse that would have a
tendency to keep anybody awake, and
yet this long nap deservedly arouses
our curiosity. Did the lady dream,
and, II so, what about? Was 1t a con-
tinuous dream, or did It break of into
weekly or fortnightly sections? What
dld her husband do about It? Did he
call Jane every morning to break.

And what did the lady say when she

fact that the house sorely needed

TURKEYS Fattened in Pens.

The possibilities of profitably feed'-
ing turkeys in confinement and lmt'
proving the quality of the flesh was
tested at the Utah experiment station,
with lot of six nearly mature birds,
kept in a small pen with an open
front closed by curtain. Whole
wheat was scattered in straw litter
in the morning, corn was fed at noon,
and grain mash at night. The tulH-
KEYS were also given skinned milk,
sugar beets and alfalfa leaves, with
grit or gravel. One of the turkeys
was sold at the end of three weeks,
the others were fed for four weeks.
Considering the test as whole, the
six turkeys made a total gain of 1874
pounds. Of which 1872 pounds was
made by four birds. When bled and
plucked the turkeys lost 7 per cent.
in weight. The author calculated that
there was profit Of $3.45 on an origi-
nal investment of $3.50. LAS to the
quality of meat, those who ate 1t re-
ported that they never ate better tur-
KEYS. There was no question about tile
quality of the meat being greatly irn-
proved. The two smaller turkeys were
not in as good condition as the 9th
ers. but the meat was excellent" This
experiment shows two things: First
that young turkeys may be taken from
the farm and fed in small pens at a
profit; second, that the quality OF the
meat is greatly improved by such feed
ing.
