The lines were perfect Despite
their wearying experience in crossing

the officers of the oath were as trim

no improvement society, get a vacant
lot committee appointed from your
board Of trade, woman's club, literary
society or some like organization. Wis.,
it all vacant lots, find owners. either
in person or through correspondence,
and labor toward keeping them clear
Of weeds and rubbish at all seasons Of
the year. This particular phase of civic
betterment is all that some improve
ment clubs aim to do, and there is
nothing in the average town that SO
badly needs attention and Jealous su-
pervision, nothing that adds more to
the general appearance Of a thickly
settled town or village or that will
give such good returns for labor or

At first the proportion Of the crude oil

to use but q small amount In the wa.

IMPROVED ROAD MOVEMENT.
Importance Said to Be Recognized b,
Taxpayers.

Importance Said to Be Recognized b,
Taxpayers.
One Of the drawbacks to the prog
ress Of rural development Is bad
roads. This fact is becoming generally
recognized. and in nearly every state In
the Union there is manifested a tend
ency to remedy this evil by state appro
priations for the establishment of good
public highways. says the Architects
and Builders Journal. Among no class
OF people Is the need of good roads
realized better than by the farmers and
others engaged in agricultural pursuits.
Until within recent years these same
people opposed the idea of the state
issuing bonds to raise money for this
purpose, for by a false conception of
economy they reasoned that the cost OF
modern Improved highways would
mean an increase of taxes.
Since however, they have tad prac.
tical demonstrations of the advantages
OF good roads by the saving they afford
In time and the wear and tear of horses
and vehicles, no class of people is more
enthusiastic In their advocacy. 1t Is
not the farmer alone who Is benefited
by the building of good roads. Others
who for business or pleasure find IL
necessary to travel by public highways
from city to city or from town to town
appreciate the advantage Of a smooth.
solid roadbed. Like the railroad, these
viaducts are an incentive to develop.
ment, and 1t is demonstrable that wher-
ever good roads have been established
that section has developed In material
prosperity and the value of property has
enhanced. This is particularly true OF
the suburbs Of large cities.
Improved roads have proved them. |
selves to be an attractive incentive to |
urbanites to purchase lots and erect i
dwellings. Modern demands In this re.
spect have enlisted the attention of |
road engineers who have devoted their
thought and skill In the construction of
these highways, and they are built
from scientific plans instead of by the
haphazard system which formerly pre-
vailed and which was invariably at
tended by unsatisfactory results. The
of improved macadam and
bitulithic paving has done much to
popularize modern roads Properly laid,
they are durable and satisfactory. Eco.
nomically considered, their cost is mon
ey well invested, as the relative relief
from wear and tear, the faciitation Of
travel and the benefit resulting to prox.
mate property more than compensate
For the original outlay.

PROFITABLE TURKEYS.

How TO Raise These Fowls to Bring
Good Prlses In the Market.
Success in turkey raising depends
largely on the choice of stock, also on
the care and attention given" says
one authority. II have raised different
kinds, but like White Hollands the
best. 1 have often raised large flock
from three hens. They are very tame
and bring more in the market on ac-
count of their fine plumage.
"In the early spring l gather the
eggs daily, for If left to accumulate in
the nest they become chilled and so
are worthless for Matching. Much
labor and time may be saved If the

hens are kept In an Enclosure during
the egg producing season. Barrels laid
ON the side with straw placed in them
make good nests.
AFTER gathering them 1t is not best
to keep the eggs very long, but If there
is no suitable place to put them with a
hen they should be turned at least
twice a week.
II give seventeen eggs to q turkey
hen. 1t is best If they can come off
while sitting to eat and dust as they
like They may also be busted with a
good powder just before the young
turkeys come out. l take them from
the nest as soon as possible, all but
one, to be left with the mother, so she
will not be uneasy. keep them in a
box in the house until they learn to
eat and walk. They soon learn to eat
bread moistened with sweet milk.
"The coops are then ready. These are
made of boards eight feet long, about
three feet high at the front and two
and a half inches in the rear, being
fitted with good cover; also boards
partly covering the bottom, with q
door in each end. This, divided in the
middle, will make two good coops,
which will turn the rain. keep them
in the coop with the hen one day, then
turn them in a pen made Of boards
foot high. The pen is about twenty
feet square Around this two feet Of
poultry wire is placed to keep the
mother in; also to keep the outside
chickens from getting to scalp the lit
tie ones.
"The coop opening in this pen makes
it easy to change them around. In this
way they get plenty Of exercise and
will flourish If given cornmeal and
cheese made Of sour milk four times a
day with plenty of fresh water. Small
oyster shell is necessary. A small bit
of cayenne pepper mixed with the
cheese is a good stimulant.
"After keeping them in the pen about
two weeks they are getting anxious to
find larger fields. The White Hollands
will wander and hunt, but nearly al
ways come home in the evening. They |
soon learn to go in the coop. This must
be kept very clean. After feeding they |
are shut in and kept till the grass is
dry in the morning. Always keep them
In when 1t rains. They cannot run In
the wet until larger.
when getting them ready for mar
xet a mixed feed Of oats and corn Is
good. Old corn is much better than
new"
A way of controlling turkeys to make
hem stay In a field is very simple.
