GOOD WORDS FOR THE ouRRANT

Until one has become fully ac-
quainted with this small but profitable
fruit by growing and marketing 1t
each season, he will not discover the
accommodating qualities It has
The bush is usually healthy. Borers
bother occasionally. but the currant
worm is the worst pest. That comes
from fly and beginning down at the
lower branches strips the whole bush
of foliage. Spray with white hellebore
In Parts green solution, touching
the underside of the leaves.
The best thing about the red cur
rant Is that there is no rush nor hurry
Ing 1t off to market, for If It is kept In
a cool place four or five days do 1t no
harm. That is. If the fruit has been

but that is the only way to make a
sure thing from currant picking.
Put them at once in berry boxes.
For private customers pack in crates.

FOOD VALUE OF TURKEY.

Turkey has a much larger percent
age of proteid. or flesh forming food,
than beef. 1t is more easily eigested.
because the flbre is shorter and yields
more readily to the digestive or dis
migrating process; beef contains a
high percentage of extractive matter.
which is nearly entirely lacking in
turkey.
Turkey diet is especially beneficial
to those troubled with acidity of the
stomach. This condition is often
caused by an excessive beef diet.
DR.. William Van Valzak says tur-
key possesses the same nutritive quail
tiles as beef. He says It Is especially
valuable where there is an excess of
acids in the stomachs. Beef stimulates
the acid secretions of the stomach, and
while there is an excess OF acid, tur-
key counteracts the effects

HINTS FOR HOG RA1sERs.

How would it do for you to let your
hogs out into a patch of clover? You
have no idea how much faster they
would gov then.
Select tho largest, most perfectly
built sows for breeding purposes.
Those are usually the ones we sell,
just because they will bring dollar
or two more. If anybody is entitled
to the best 1t is the farmer that grows
the pigs
If your hogs have had plenty of
clover they will not need much corn
to make them simply great. They
will just about get their living on
clover, and it will be a good living.
too.
Soy beans stand high as a feed for
hogs. But don't let them eat too
heartily of them. especially at first.
Queer notion some have that hog
does not need water. Just try them
with good clear water and see how
much they will use In a day. It will
surprise you. and you have no idea
how much faster they will grow.
Keep a good breeding sow just as
long as She is a good one.
After the Bows are bred feed laxa-
tive feed to keep their bowels in good
condition. Vegetables. potatoes or
apples are excellent IL good pasture
Is not available.
Early maturity lsssens the risk
from disease.

WORKING With TURKEYS
Ohio Woman Tells How She Manage.
to Make Money Out Of Her
Flock.
(By Anna Galliher)

A T THIS writing (Oct. 1st). on,
~ turkeys are In fine condition
compared with any of The
other flocks that we can see or hca,
OF. Our eggs did not hatch vel
this season. From 146 eggs we gol
only sc potts.
The rats took OF them before they
could be removed from the nest in
which they were Matched. The re.
mainder fiourished until the large
body lice began to appear. We were
using much advertised louise powder
all the time.
After 10 Of the poults had died. It
was discovered that the "louse-ltiller"
had failed to do the work of killing
the lice. As a last resort we tried lard
and sulphur; about one-fourth tea
spoonful Of sulphur to tablespoonful
of lard. Great care was taken not to
use too much and not to allow the
poults to get wet after treatment. A
little OF the mixture was taken on the
finger and rubbed among the PIN
feathers around the tail and vent:
also, along the inside Of the wings
and among the feathers along the
sides about the thighs.
\ " r. u
At the time we used this treatment
nearly all of the poults appeared to be
sick. No more died. however, and an
improvement was noticed in short
time.
few days later, several were
examined and not a louise could be
found. whereas before counted If
teen on one poult.
weeks old. Am not certain whether II
would be safe to use the sulphur and
lard on very young fowls. There Is
now SO in the flock two having disap-
peared while roaming the fields. and
one died of gapes.
We have raised turkeys for num-
Der Of years, but. like others. have had
more trouble with them this year than

SOME SIGNS OF RAIN.

1t Is we'll known that animals and
fowls give notice of the approach of
rain weather by their peculiar actions.
Dogs and cats are less energetic and
show an unusual disposition to sleep.
Sheep crowd together in a sheltered
place. Horses neigh, cattle low; pea
cocks scream; guinea fowls squall and
ducks and geese are more noisy than
usual. All this is due to the decreased
supply of oxygen in the air and to the
depressing effect of damp air on their
nerves. 1t gives them some difficulty
In breathing and makes them listless
and uneasy.
Another sign of rain Is seen when
a cat rubs her ears and sometimes
every part of her coat that she car
reach. This is due In part to the
dampness of the air which penetrates
the hair and makes the skin itch, but
Is chiefly due, perhaps. to the air
being heavily charged with electricity.
The hair of the cat becomes heavily
charged, too, and she rubs 1t to make
1t smooth, and to brush away the
peculiar sensation that electricity
causes.
Perhaps you have noticed that the
leaves of the dandelion and clover
fold up and go to sleep, so to speak
when rain is near. AS these plants
never open their leaves without the
stimulating influence Of sunshine, the
cloudy sky puts them to sleep, An.
other reason for the change is the ex.
pansion of the air vessels Of the
plants. due to the damp air which
causes the leaves to contract and close
just as paper curls when one side Of
1T is moistened.-A. v. Meersch, New
York.

ITALIANS FOR THE FARM.

I am inclined to think that the
farm labor problem will be solved,
partly at least, by the employment of
Italians. Some Of the Southern states
are importing laborers from the coun-
try districts Of Italy, and friend In
Virginia writes me that they make a
very good substitute for the negro.
They are patient, learn our ways read
lily enough If carefully taught, and are
good active workers. They are in
clined to become lonely-and that is
not to be wondered at when it is re-
membered that they are in a strange
land among strangers who speak a
foreign tongue. But when three or
four are employed in neighborhood
and are given a chance to visit each
other frequently, they are generally
contented. Italians are also finding
their way west in greater numbers
every year and maybe they will give
us the relief we have SO long hoped
for.-J. B. Long, Virginia.

Big MONEY in THE SILO.
Easy to Build, and Great Conserver
of Feed that Makes for Large
Grains.
(By R. B. Rushman, Illinois.)
TN HE great value of the silo is not
fully appreciated by most farm

HE great value Of the silo is not
fully appreciated by most farm
ers. I have found that the i'm
preston generally prevailing is that
they are very expensive and that there
is some mystery in their successful
construction.
This is not the case. There are a
few simple rules to observe. An air.
Eight building of sufficient strength to
Withstand the lateral pressure. which
is very great; foundation wall such
as any good building requires. and
some kind of roof.
Regarding the first rule to have the
sflo alright, it is not necessary to be
alright when empty, any material that
will swell when wet, sappy ensilage
liz put in sufficiently to close cracks
Is all that is necessary.
Material Of this kind is flooring, 2x4
and IKE; good stock boards will also
do for same. The inch stuff is used
in building round silos and the round
silo' Is the best form to build. It Is
the strongest and easiest to costruct
and costs less money than any of the
other styles of silos.
! am, perhaps, in position to give
good advice in silo construction,
having used them during the past ten
years and having seen all kinds of
s1los all kinds Of material used and
all styles of construction from hole
IN the ground to the costly brick
structure.
have found that great cost does
not necessarily mean success In the
sllo. I have fed as fine ensilage from
an excavation that cost only labor re-
moving the earth, as from a silo tina,
cost $1,000.
The cheapest form one can put up
Is the round silo built of 2x4 pine
If you are in the pine lumber belt. II
you are where hemlock is cheaper
than pine use that If tamarack Is
the cheapest local lumber use that.
