Turkeys.

wonder how the farmers wives are
| getting along with their turkey rails
| ing this summer. l say wives because
l am afraid if those who eat Thanks
giving and Xmas turkey dinners
would use something else If the men
on the farm had to raise the turks.
BY the way, turkey culture Is quito
interesting when one begins to got
down to the bottom of 1t. When we
go back to the beginning of our re-
Toasted on the ever abundant wild
turkey, 1t is NO wonder we eat turkey.
Our present turkey is the wild bird
domesticated, and | am afraid their
health has been injured, some by too
much inbreeding. 1 think that herein
will be found the cause for most of
the prevalent loss that so many ex-
perience. There is a common prac-
tice in all localities for farmers to eK-
change birds with their neighbors,
year in and year out, and in a short
time the whole community is inbred.
l suppose this is an oversight, as 1t
may be, because some breeder who
has an extra good Tom, and thinks
S. to $40 Ia about the right price
for him. Would 1t not be better to pay
$40 for great big, stout, vigorous
Tom and raise good flock of poults
that will live and grow into flne spe-
cimens and weigh from FIVE to ten
pounds more than they usually do,
than to keep trading and carrying out
the weak and dying poults? Of course,
these conditions do not exist in all To-
calities, but they do in many. Mr.. Ro-
bert Lee Blanton of Richmond, Va,
in very instructive article, states
that in his opinion inbreeding is the
worst enemy to strong and healthy
stock. Mr.. Blanton lives in a country
where the wild bird abounds, and has
made careful study of them in their
wild state, and has captured wild
birds and is breeding them, and in
an illustration shows wild Tom that
weighs SO pounds. Mr.. Blanton states
positively that he does not inbreed
but secures new blood each year, and
has comparatively little loss. believe
that most young turkeys are like many
ncubators-they are fooled with too
much. l think that If one will follow
nature In this matter, the results will
be better. How well 1 remember how
l used to hunt the hedge fences back
in Iowa to find hidden nests that Miss
Turk had stole away. We used to rob
the hens of their first lot of eggs and
set them under common hens, and US
ually done very we'll, but when we let
the turkey hen set on her eggs just
where she chose to she always beat
us a block-relieved us of lot OF
trouble and fussing with the young,
tender turkeys. There was no feed
bill, either, for the mother turk would
never bring her brood home until they
were large enough to fly into the trees,
all strong, healthy birds. If | were
raising turkeys I would let the turkey
hen to do the job.

ALCOHOLISM FATAL.
Children Of Drunkards Are constttu.
tlonally Weak.

Alcoholism, which Is the root of so
much misery, has been proved to be
the cause of great infant mortality.
for 50 per cent. Of drunkards' children
are doomed to death before they are
three years old. while of those that
survive great percentage increase
the ranks OF the insane, the criminal
and the otherwise degenerate. Still.
as was pointed out by one of the
speakers at the congress, alcoholism
itself Is not primary cause, but Ia
itself an effect of bad social condi-
tons, squalid homes, poor food and
continuous overstrain from too long
hours of labor. tuberculosis. which
comes next on the list as the cause
OF infant mortality, can be traced to
the same causes as alcoholism and is
itself in most instances caused directly
by the alcoholism of the parents or
progenitors. The inability of many
women to feed their own children has
also been laid partly at the door of al
coholism 1t has been statistically
proved that the daughter of an alco-
hoiist father generally misses this
faculty altogether. Since the sixteenth
century, when artificial feeding was
first introduced into Europe, natural
Authorization has been gradually dis
carded, so that now there are about 65
per cent. of artifcially-f children
against So per cent fed in the natural
way,

Care of Colts,

You've been too busy this summer
to pay much attention to the colts.
Then make up for lost time now.
Teach the colt to lead and drive. Do
1t wisely and patiently. It's easy to
make him jerk up the head every
time you raise your hand or speak
CROSS A jerking colt has a jerking
trainer.
Handle the feet Pick them up and
tap them. Get him 80 he can be shod
without fear. See that the feet are
properly trimmed to promote and di-
rect proper growth OF hoof. Don't let
any fool hoof butcher do 1t, either.
Make the colts fearless by showing
them strange sights.
1t wouldn't be a bad investment IL
several farmers would get their colts
together and introduce them to an au-
tomobile. Do it gradually at first
Hire the automobilist so you can have
him do as you want him to. Colts
must be taught that the auto, the
street cars, trains, threshing engines
and all such soary things will not hurt
them. A fearless colt Is worth more
to any owner, city or country, than
one that has to be turned around and
fee when such thing approaches.
But in teaching the colts to be fear
less don't use brute force. Use good
sense, patience, kindness.

INTEMPERANcE AND DISEASE.
Severe Indictment of Alcohol by an
English Medical Man.

Additional testimony from the med
tcal profession as to the responsibility
of alcohol in causing disease was fur
nished In an important address deliv-
cred recently by DIR. J. ]. Fitzgerald,
resident medical superintendent of Egg
lington asylum in Great Britain, at a
meeting held under the auspices of the
branch society Of the C. E. Temper
ance organization.
II alcohol were unknown, he said,
half the sin and large part OF the
poverty and unhappiness of the world
would disappear. Alcohol taken IN
to the stomach was, unlike most other
substances, absorbed unchanged into
the blood; consequently one could
understand its powerful effects on
brain and nerve-these delicate It's
sues being bathed In poison, to the
effects Of which they are most sus-
ceptible. Referring to the connection
of alcohol with mental diseases. DR..
Fitzgerald said 20 per cent. of cases
OF insanity were the direct result of
alcohol. Alcohol was the most COM
mon cause of mental disease. Every
form of mental disease resulted from
1t. More suicides and homicides re-
suit from alcoholism than from all
other causes. He was safe in saving
that no man INDUCED for ten years
continuously In more alcohol than was
good for him. even though he was
never drunk all that time, without be.
ing psychologically changed for the
worse.

character, and the way to his study
from the street was well known and
often travelled, both by good men and
bad.
One day there came knock at his
door and ne called: "Come!" There
entered a heavy and determinsd-look-
ing man, much the worse for drink.
whose menacing advance at once re-.
vealed the purpose of hts call. The
minister looked about for something
to use in his defense. and saw moth
ing better than the ruler on has table,
and that was neither heavy nor strong.

seemed a revelation. and he said: II

classmate, Joe Bailey"

what had become of you.
Joe's answer was groan.
"Td better go, Billy. didn't know
It was you. We don't have much in
common"
Eyes, we have! We have memories
in common, many Of them. And thas
isn't all. Hold on, Joe! You're not
going! We're going to get acquainted
again!"
1t was sad story Of a man whose
brilliant life prospects had been
wrecked by his bad habits, and who
had dropped utterly out OF the knoWl-
edge of his old friends, and become q
fugitive from home and love and re-
straint. His life was not worth saw

finish 1t up in the way he had been
going. But the old friend stood with
his back against the door and would
not let him go.

consent to let you go to the bad. II
you go. you shall not go friendless!"
A week later Joe. clothed and In his
right mind, sat down to dinner In the
parsonage with the minister's family.
And then he set forth to win back his
lost character by hard work and faith
in God and the help of his old-tine
friend.

Drinking is great provocative OF
/ brain degeneration. 1t makes crime
more possible 1t is not that the pas
sions are inflamed or the sense of re-
straint is dulled-it is rather that the
person under the influence is absolute
ly insane for the time being. Sobered
up, the murderer is perfectly sane, but
Is he SO when he loses his sense of
identity, his memory, his self-con-
sciousness? l do not think SO. For
the time being he has awful hallucina-
tons. He is possessed with the desire
to kill.
1t is hard to believe 1t, but the fact
is nevertheless true, so-called whisky
cannot be told by the average person
from the genuine distillation. We have
tried it and know it to be so. Coun-
terfeit whisky is 80 cleverly made now
that a man does not know real whisky
from the vilest poison.
There was the case the other day OF
those seven foreigners who were cele-
brating the departure of one of their
friends for Europe. They went into
a saloon, drank heavily of what they
thought was whiSky-it was, in reality,
deadly poison. Five of them are dead,
one is totally blind.
DR.. Lederle, formerly health commits
sioner and | made experiments with
clubmen who think they know good
whisky. We placed before them the
best pure whisky obtainable at Del
monfcos and Sherry's together with
some Of the so-called whisky They
could not tell the difference.
