When they were first br ugh. over
here they ware recommended quite as
much for milk as 70, beef production.
OF course the milking habit may be
easily discouraged. and of late years
in the west this has occurred almost
universally. but at the Worlds fair in
Chicago. where they came in competi-
tion with the distinctively dairy
breeds, the result was anything but

four the three best Shorthorns, one in
each class, including the two-year-old
heifer, gave 5,S6l pounds. While Jer-
sevs of the same description gave
$3.50, SHOW ing in favor of the Short

Today there is an ever increasing
demand for baby beef and fine native
sides. Why should we of New York
and New England let the west reap
all this profit? In central New York
there are a few enterpriSing farmers
who export Shorthorn steers to Liver
pool every year and make about $50
profit ON each beast.
The foregoing are the views of an
eastern farmer expressed in Country
Gentleman. In the same paper occurs
the cut of the very handsome Short

TURKEY GROWING.
Nhy Many People Will Stick to This
M Profitable Industry.

My Many People Will Stick to This
Profitable Industry.
Every one admits that If it were not
or the unnatural losses that have been
ustained in the past few years much
profit could be made from growing
turkeys. But these losses are to some
extent chargeable to conditions that
: may improve at any time, and just
when the disheartened are going out of
the turkey industry in favor of APP
parently better things Is a good time
for some folks to get a grip upon it
and lien on the good profits that the
narrowed supply seems likely to in
sure
In the west and southwest under or
dinarily good conditions and with
proper management turkeys can be
easily and cheaply grown, and prob
ably no poultry stock returns more
profit to the successful producer any
where than turkeys. The question of
profit from keeping turkeys simply re-
solves itself into the ability of the
grower to bring them to marketable
size
The fact that turkeys from the time
they are six weeks old until winter
sets in will gain the greater part of
their entire living from bugs, grass
hoppers and waste grain that they
pick up in their wanderings over the
range assures their existence through
this period at little or no cost to the
grower. They may be termed self sus-
tanning foragers where they have suffi-
cient ranges.
Independent of the condition of the
large markets, there is an opportunity
for the smaller growers who live near
towns and villages to dress their tur
keys and sell them to private custom
ers, and there are many people who
are willing to pay a good price for
birds of superior quality.
Among the half a dozen main va
rieties of turkeys the Bronze and the
Narragansett are the big turkeys. But
of late much improvement has been
made in the white turkeys, which are
a much smaller variety.
In America the white turkey is call
ed the White Holland. White turkeys
were formerly quite delicate and rath-
er small, but now are more generally
developed, probably from an infusion

The Farmers Wood Lot.

The man who owns his own land
should look well to his future supply
of timber, for money saved is money
made" AS surely as his wood lot is
exhausted just so surely must he buy
wood and lumber, and the natural
profits of his land are so much less
ened. The wood lot, therefore, proper
ly cared for. is profit earning adjunct
to the successful farm.

of the blood of white sports from the
bronze. The standard of weight is
less for the whites than for other va
rieties. They range from ten pounds
for young hens to twenty-six pounds
for old toms. Toms have been seen
that weighed thirty-five pounds in
show condition, but this weight is
quite unusual. In color of plumage
they should be white throughout lex
cept that each has a black beard on
the breast), with shanks and toes pink
ish white.
In some localities white turkeys are
largely grown. They show vitality
equal to that of other varieties and
are no more difficult to rear. Indeed
instances are recorded where in very
bad season the whites, with some
growers, did the best of any kind.
Where the vigor is perfect and the
mating birds nonrelated the young of
the white turkeys are as easy to grow
as any young stock.
One cannot select a better variety
for all uses than the White Holland.
These turkeys grow to the most profit
able sizes, dress beautifully for mar
ket, their light pinkish white shanks
add to their appearance and with them
as with all white poultry the pin
feathers show less than on darker va
rieties. The very largest turkeys are
not necessarily the most profitable to
grow or to sell. The medium sizes
from nine to eighteen pounds dressed
ARE most desirable for family use.

THE FAT OF THE YEAR.
Wealth the Farms Have Turned Out to
This Natinn

Wealth the Farms Have Turned Out to
This Nation.
"The farm production for 1907 is
well up to the average in quantity,
while its value is much above that of
any preceding year. The farmer will
this year have more money to spend
and more to invest than he ever had
before out of his years work" That
is Secretary Wilson's opening state
ment in his eleventh annual report,
and some other pleasant items are as
follows:
"The starch of corn becomes the fat
of the hog and the finish of the steer.
thus becoming great factor in the
production of meats and meat prod
ucts for export While not as large
as that of 1906, the value of the corn
crop of 1907 is greater and is 26 per
cent above the average value of the
crops of the preceding five years.
The wheat crop of 1907 is 625,576,-
900 bushels, 5 per cent less than the
average quantity for the five preceding
years. But the value is about $780,,
100000, or So per cent more than the
average, although the crops of 1901,
1902 and 1905 had each slightly
higher value than that of this year.
The seven cereal crops produced
4,135,000000 bushels, showing loss
of 214,000,000 bushels, or per cent
below the five year average, the loss
being chiefly due to oats. The total
value is $2,37S,000,000 This exceeds
1906 by $296,000,000 and is % per cent
above the average.
During the fiscal year 1907 the ex-
ports of farm products exceeded the
imports by $444,0O0,O0O, balance that
has been exceeded only four times
in 1898, 1899, 1901 and 1902.
Cotton Crop.
In value the cotton crop of 1907.
estimated to be from $650000,000 to
$675,000.000, takes third place, if in the
final estimates it does not displace hay
for second rank. The commercial ex-
pectations are that the crop will be
found to be the third one in size ever
raised and perceptbly larger than the
average crop of the previous five years.
Though its farm value is probably a
little below that of last years crop, in
other respects it will be the most valu-
able cotton crop ever raised in this
country and per cent above the aver
age farm value of the crops of the
previous five years.
Dairy and Poultry.
The dairy products of the country
alone were worth nearly $S00,O00,O00
In 1907, or much more than any crop
save corn. Prices of both butter and
milk have advanced.
The poultry and egg products for
1907 should be estimated at more than
$600,000,000 in value. In fact, these
products were worth more than the
wheat crop.

FUEL famine
IMMINENT

The danger OF a scarcity of both
coal and wood this coming winter is
generally realized. Two years ago
an extremely bad famine was the
cause of much financial loss and ac-
tual suffering. Causes of that calam-
ity are now almost duplicated at the
very beginning of this autumn, yet
consumers have not laid in one-third
of the supply they had at this time
last year
Indications are that the railroads
will not be able to furnish sufficient
cars if the general public delays lay
ing in fuel as at present. Wood and
coal are plenty at this time, but the
danger lies in scarcity of cars when
everybody will be crying for fuel. 1t
was suggested to us that we might
make a handsome profit by laying
in supply so as to reap harvest
from the enormous demand and high
prices that are sure to come within a
few months. Our reply is that if we
had sufficient capital to carry out such
la plan, we would abandon the fuel
business entirely and select one
in which profits are greater and trou-
bles less. We advise you to place
your order without delay.

Berlin, Oct. 17.-There have been
frightful massacres in Armenia, &c
cording to the Constantinople corre-

This paper today publishes a dis
patch from the Turkish capital, which
says:
Armenians in Viran-Shehr have been
massacred by Turkish troops. The
women and children have been sub
jected to fearful treatment.
'The troops were sent to Viran-
Shehr to overawe the mutinous towns
people, two-thirds of whom are Ar
menians, and they at once began to
murder and plunder. They are said
to have completely overrun the city,"
The village of Viran-Shehr is in the
heart of Turkish Armenia, between
Konia and Kaizarie. 1t is described
as built upon the ruins of an old town,
possibly Chaboras. Its population is
not stated.
