past brought them fame as we'll as
money. The goose, in fact, looms
higher than formerly on the holiday
horizon. Poultrymen in other parts Of
New England as well as in various
turkey sections Of note in Kentucky,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
also find it advantageous to give to
different forms of poultry and to egg
production some Of the attention that
has been more exclusively devoted to
the turkey. To Offset northern short
age Texas sends large supplies to
northern markets.
The present depressed condition Of
the turkey raising industry seems to be
due principally to the dreaded black
head disease in some sections of the
country and in all the northern re-
gions to the susceptibility of the young
turkeys to troubles caused by cold and
damp weather. In favorable years all
may go we'll; in others. With a spring
like the past, results are disappointing.
1t is essential that young birds be kept
in dry quarters, and very early setting
is not advisable in cold attitudes. 1t is
different where the temperature is
milder in winter and the spring comes
early. Great care is necessary in rear
ing young birds, as they are then very
tender, though afterward very hardy.
Apropos Of table fowls, I nm remind
ed that 1 met a practical poultry deal
er the other day who remarked:

lot Of fowls for market, and of all the

and fine grained, and they dress out in
nice, attractive shape" Certainly many
will agree that the White Rock Is a
good bird.

A JOURNALISTIC HOAX.
Trick the Harvard Lampoon Played
on the Crimson.

on the Crimson.
Speaking Of the Crimson, Harvard's
daily newspaper, reminds every Har-
ward man Of the Lampoon's master
stroke-or joke-played on that digni-
fed and unsuspecting sheet on Me
mortal day, 1901. The Crimson had
announced that it would no appear on
that holiday. but inconspicuously, so
few were surprised to find their Grim
son at their door that morning as usu-
al. Their surprise began, however,
when they scanned it's contents. This
always serious sheet seemed to have
become most frivolous and ~irresponsi-
BILE during the night, for in its columns
all sorts Of weird and fantastic state
ments appeared.
The news, though clothed in the usu-
al heavy, dignified Crimson style, was
wildly revolutionary in character.
Among the items that appeared We're:
"a Plot to Blow Up Memorial Hail.
"Strong Men to Get the Varsity H."
wellesley Crew to Be Guests of the
University and most important of all
a notice, "Lampoon Celebration at I
Tonight" Then the joke came out.
The Lampoon had published the fa-
nous flake Crimson the joke was
known throughout the country, and
that night Lampy's sanctum was the
scene Of bacchanalian revelry. When
the following year the Crimson editors
sat up all night with injunctions
against a repetition Of the fake the
joke was again on them, for Lampy
differs from history in that he never
repeats himself.-K. B. Townsend in
Bohemian.

comnarison of Rations.

In tests made at the Vermont expert
ment station it was found that an al
falfa meal ration made less milk and
butter, carried less fertilizing value
and was fed at a loss as compared
with a wheat bran ration, the meal
costing $27 and the wheat bran $lS.5o.
Had each cost alike the former would
still have been outclassed. An alfalfa
meal ration made ~one-seventh less
milk, one-sixth less butter, and the ra-
tion containing it carried one-sixth less
plant food value than did one contain
ing distillers' dried grains. 1t is utter
~ outclassed at equal prices.
