A PORTABLE FENCE.
A Continuance That Is Convenient,
Useful and Substantial.

a ContrIvance | nat is SonVenisntv
Useful and Substantial.
To make 4 portable fence that is sub
stantial as well MY practice is to take
bale of forty-eight incli poultry wire
netting. says DR.. J. A. Whitman of
Beaufort, S. c. Use anything that
will make stake sufficiently strong
to hold it up. Then with an iron bar
make holes about eight feet apart
around the lot you wish TO inclose.
Now put in the stakes. driving them
down little to make them firm; then
take a fourpenny nail and drive it into
the stakes on the side you are going to
put on the netting as high as your net
ting is wide or so the netting will rest
upon the ground.
Now commence at one corner and
unroIl your netting around to the start
ing point. If it does not take the whole
roll, leave it on the roll. Next COM
mence and hang up the netting on the
nails that are partly driven in, stretch
ing it as you hang it up. Then take
common plastering laths and nail over
the netting on the stakes with two or
three fourpenny nails. leaving the
heads out just enough to draw with a
hammer when you want to take the
fence down.
If you have 4 surplus OF netting, roll
UP the surplus and fasten it to the last
stake with q string or piece of wire.
If one roll is not enough. proceed with
the second roll just the same way.
When you get through with its use.
all you have TO do is to draw the nails
from the laths and posts. lay down the
netting, roll up, pull the stakes and
lay them away for another time.
l never cut Il roll of netting unless
for permanent fence. Let any pouI-
tryman try this fence, and he will
never want for a permanent fence.

CARE OF THE TURKEYS.
some Valuable Suggestions From

Some Valuable Suggestions From
Widely Known Expert.
Mrs. Charles Jones of Pawpaw, Ill.
has the following in the Poultry
Keeper:
In the fall turkeys need very little
care, as they do best to have Il large
range and pick up their own living.
They are very healthy at that time OF
the year. and there is only one trouble
10 contend with, and that is where
Shey have access to an oats field where
the oats have been thraShed, as they
eat so much of the grain that it fills
the giZZard so full that the food can
not re digeSted. | have opened chick
ems that have gorged themselves with
oats until their gizzards were so pack
ed that the food could not move off,
and the consequence was death.
For bowel troubles. which turkeys
sometimes have. | have given olive or
linseed oil in large doses about three
times. After the last dose is given at
night give Quinine.
Heavy toms are liable 70 have bum
BILE foot, which is caused by jumping
down from high places where they
rooSt. For this trouble | have soaked
the foot and put on poultice. but this
does not work well. as turkey has SO
much blood in its foot that the poultice
draws the blood to the foot, and it
makes matters worse. | have n case
that / am trying corn salve on and
think it will help to make cure.
AS one extreme in the seasons usual
ly is followed by other extremes, we
may hope for good year next year in
our turkey crop. and evidently every
one thinks so, as the demand for
breeding stock is already large. To fit
turkeys for the show room or the mar
ket requires about the same treatment.
Let them have their liberty and pick
UP their own living, with access to
clear water and sharp grit, with plenty
of coarse grit for mature turkeys.
never feed my turkeys until the
ground freezes as they pick up the
grain where the stock is fed Turkeys
intended for market can be kept con-
fined for about ten days and fed fat
tening food, and l have never found
anything to put on weight equal to
new corn boiled several hours and fed
little warm, not hot, as l think hot
mashes the cause of roup, as l used to
have roup in turkeys and chickens, and
since l have cut out warm mashes I
have never had the roup in my flocks.
1t has been several years since l have
even had a symptom of it. Warm. dry
houses and dry feed will avoid roup.

Size of a Hens Euo,

Has the average size of the ordinary
hens egg ever been automatically
computed? Yes. Great egg packers
employ men who from dawn to dark
do nothing but pass eggs, one after an
other, before candle to insure only
fresh ones being received. Measure
ments have been conducted by these,
and experiments based on perhaps a
thousand eggs show the average length
Of hens eggs to be 2.27 inches and
the average diameter at the broad end
1.72 inches, while the average weight
is about oue-eighth of n pound.-Mont-

Poultry and Poultry Food Prices

Poultry food of all kinds has steadily
advanced i'll price for the past three
or four years, but that is no reason for
killing off your stock at this season OF
the year, feeling you cannot afford to
keep and feed the same at the present
prices of food, says American Poultry
Advocate. You will find that the prices
of market poultry and eggs have ad
vaGced in the same proportion, and
The profit in keeping poultry is great
er than ever before, Notwithstanding
this additional food expense.

Give Chicks Charcoal.

When chicks are fed mashes it is 4
great benefit to them to add n little
powdered charcoal to their feed. Have
will stick The chicks will soon learn
to like it and will eat the mixture as
readily as plain food. When they get
older, feed the charcoal alone and see
how they wiki eat it. 1t is Il fine thing
to keep them healthy, for it is great
corrective, preventing fermentation of
food in the crop, and for that reason
is a great aid in warding off bowel

Eredeterrnininn the SEX.

Last year we mated our pullets and
cocks together. with the result that
about half the young were cockerels
and half pullets, says Fl. z. Wightman
Of Evanston, III. Many claim that the
parent with the strongest germ had
the most effect. This year we mated
cockerels to hens, with the result that
about 80 per cent are pullets. This
may not be so always. but it was this
year with a pen Of White and Barred
Rocks and a pen of White Wyandottes.

with a Jackknife by the side of the
runway.
When the hen enters the nest she
raises the door slightly and releases
the catch. and the door drops. There
is Il bar just above the door when the
door is raised SO that hen cannot
spring the catch if she gets on top OF
the nest.
The nests may be made singly or in
sets OF two, three or more and may be
made larger or smaller, according to
the breed one keeps.

MINERS COUP
ON RAILROADS

BY outwitting the engineers in |
o. r. & N line being built along Snake
river below Huntington, Jesse Elliott, |
Peter Brady and several other miners
of the Baker City district have secured
property rights along the right of way
which may secure them a pile of easy
money, says the Baker City Demo-
crat.
The company has surveyed a tunnel
through mountain near Pine creek
about three miles from Homestead,
and were about to begin work on ex-'
cavation when Elliott and his COM
rades slipped into the country and one
night did little prospecting and To-
Gated tunnel site which extends clear
, across the entire mountain. When day.
light broke and the railroad men
awakened, they found the stakes set
by the miners and work started on the
face of the tunnel. The Baker City
crew completed their work of facing
the tunnel, and then some Of them
went to work in the neighborhood to
watch developments.
AS the proposed tunnel of the rail-
road company goes clear through the
mountain, 1t will cut through the
! greater portion of the site located by
the miners. and any ore taken out by
the railroad company will belong to
the Baker City boys.
Miners who have prospected in that
country say that the mountain gives
evidence of being rich in mineral, and
particularly copper. and the locators
j of the tunnel site are expecting some
interesting developments. The miners
1 of the district have had their eyes on
this particular mountain for some
4 time, and when the railroad tunnel
was proposed Immediately took advan-
tage of the opportunity of profiting by
the work of the railroad company.
i AS the railroad company had de-
termined to build the tunnel and were
about to begin operations, the miners
conceived the idea of getting possess
, sion of the ore which will be taken out
of the excavation. With practically nj
expense to themselves, the boys from
{ Baker City will have their gigantic
: prospect developed and are confiden
that the tunnel will reveal a vas
) amount of copper ore.
: Should the mountain be rich as theN
expect IT will be, they win have {
. veritable mint with failroad facilities
: running directly through their prop
1 erty.

OILINC BEGINS
0. R. IN. TRACKS
Campaign to Settle the
Summer DnSt on the
River Route

wALLA wALLA, June 26.-When
the plans of the o. r. & N. company
have been carried into effect the rail-
road tracks between Pendleton and
Spokane will be free from dust, and
the greater part Of the disagreeable-
ness Of the ride over this part of the
line will have been done away with.
The track will be oiled between Walla
walla and Pendleton this week, work
having begun Saturday. Next week
the work will be continued toward
Spokane.
1t is the intention of the company
to go over the right of way at least
the road will be free from dust and in
such a condition as to make its ac-
emulation practically impossible. The
company has announced several times
during the past two or three years that
the tracks would be oiled. and it APP
pears now, since the work has been
started. that the much-needed im-
provement will be successfully COM
! pleted.
| The announcement will be received
with much satisfaction by the long
suffering travelling public, as immense
quantities of dust. between this city
and Pendleton, which raise in clouds
during the summer months, when
given start by the draft caused by
speeding trains, will be among the dis
agreeable things of the past. when the
oiling of the roadbed has been accom-
plished.
| Thirty thousand gallons of crude oil
have been stored in Pendleton, from
which city the work will be carried on
until completed to within few miles
of Walla Walla. The oil is said to be
a sure cure for dust, and as this is one
o. the busiest pieces of road anywhere
on the system, passengers will appre-
ciate the removing of one of the most
offensive experiences of the trip over
the line.
