Young Turkeys.

The main point with young turkeys
is TO prevent them from being at
tackled b. the large gray body lice.
and the best way TO do so is to begin
with the parent birds before the
Young ones are Matched, as lice usu-
ally 90 from adult birds 10 the chicks.
When turkey hens desire to sit they
should be anointed on the head once
a week with some kind OF oil, such as
olive oil. linseed oil, or lard oil. This
will kill the large lice and prevent
the chicks from being destroyed the
first few days Of their existence.
Grease is repugnant TO poultry Of
all kinds, hence but little oil should
be used. Apply it lightly on the
heads, the combs, faces and necks,
rubbing It well into the skin. II will

used, and more young turkeys will be

is freedom from lice and dampness.

Brush Holds the Backing.

An entire shoe-blacking outfit con-
tanned in single article forms the
subject Of recent patent grant.
Heretofore it has been necessary to
supply oneself with several brushes,
one for cleaning the dust from the
surfaces OF the shoe and dauber for
applying the backing or polish, a
third one for rubbing, and some
times a fourth for giving the final
polish.

The Spoonful of Medicine.

The past three decades have wit
messed great advances in the methods
Of preparing and especially of stand
ardizing medicines, but this advan-
tage is liable to be rendered nugatory
by the failure to divide the ingre-
dients of a prescription into the indi-
Gated number of doses. And this is
only one of the sources of error Incl
dental to the question of the dosage
OF medicines. 1t has often been
pointed out in The Lancet that the ca
pacity Of domestic spoons varies with
in very wide limits.
Graduated medicine glasses are
relatively seldom employed, with the
result that the patient usually takes
considerably more or less of the med
icine than was intended by the physi-
clan. But the public will continue to
use the domestic spoon so long as
medicines are ordered to be taken by
spoonfuls
The difficulty could be met by the
adoption of the following simple plan.
In writing prescriptions let the doses
be given in drachms, half ounces and
ounces. The patient, being ignorant
of the equivalent in spoonfuls, would
then be Obliged to procure a proper
measure. At present the situation is
"Gilbertian." A correct diagnosis
and nicely balanced prescription,
dispensed from the purest drugs STAN
dardized to high degree of accur.
acy, are muddled, or possibly rem
dered useless or dangerous by the
use Of inaccurate medicine bottles
and still more inaccurate domestic
spoons.-From The Lancet.

Desert Plants.

DR.. D. T. MacDougal tells some in
teresting things in the Fifth Year
Book Of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington about the water storage
organs of desert plants. In regions
where rain falls scantily for a brief
period, the remainder of the year be-
ing dry, the plants possess special
storage organs at the base of the
stems, which lie unchanged during
the hot season, but quickly put out
roots. shoots, fruits and seeds during
the brief time of the rains. Some of
these storage organs, kept dry on a
museum shelf since 1902, have every
year. at a period corresponding to the
rainy season in their native habitat,
produced thin stems, which quickly
die. In some cases five years growth
has been made with the aid of water
stored up in 1901, and the storage
organs are still sound.-Youth's Com
panion.

Brewers. Grains.

Dried brewers grains rank close
70 bran in feeding value. containing
little more protein and fat, but not
quite so much carbohydrates. Il is
claimed that in 100 pounds Of this
feed there are 15.7 pounds Of pro-
TEN, 36.3 pounds Of carbohydrates
and 81 pounds OF fat Malt sprouts
and dried brewers grains are valu-
able cow feeds, especially the lat
ter. Sprouts are richest in protein,
but not much relished by COWS and
should be fed only in limited qUanti-
dies. Wet brewers grains are apt TO
injure the quality OF the milk.-Phil-

Feeding Growing Pigs.

There can hardly be a one rule
method of feeding pigs, as conditions
vary so much. 1t may be from the
weather or something peculiar to the
animals themselves that some litters
ean be fed heavily and others only
very carefully for fear of crippling
The animals. BY care and practice a
person can fine out proper method
and should aim to carry it out sys-
tematically. 1t is not a wise thing to
feed any thing that happens to be
handy and that will satisfy the pigs
appetite, for it will result in making
the pigs unthrifty, with consequent
loss. Choose the ration that is best
adapted to the conditions at hand and
then stick to it.
Do not keep too many pigs in one
pen unless the space is large and has
plenty of troughs. Troughs should
be OF the proper height, with parti-
lions to prevent the pigs crowding
each other from the trough, and this
also keeps the food clean.
Feed regularly and carefully. in
creasing in strength and quantity as
Judgment sees fit. The object should
not be to fatten exclusively, as is too
often the case, but to moderately
fatten while keeping growing till the
pigs reach a weight Of 16O to 200
pounds.
1t is extremely important that the
animals should be kept clean and dry.
Remove the soiled and damp bedding
often and replace with a little dry
straw. Wheat straw is preferable, as
1t does not keep dampness or pack
and heat as quickly a. the others.

KNOW the Cows Yield.

For three years one COW gave an
nually an average OF 1900 pounds
Of milk, yielding 400 pounds of but.
ter fat; the second cow $500 pounds
Of milk from which 12S pounds of
butter fat were obtained. The first
ate one-half more feed than the sec.
ond but produced three times more
There was less than three dollars diff.
ference in the cost of keeping and one
averaged a profit of s37, while the
other lacked 50 of paying for her
board and keep. This is not an ex.
IRENE case, but it is frequent occur
renee.
The dairyman must know which
cow pays and which one eats its head
off, and profit as well. There is only
one way l know OF to determine this
by the scale and Babcock test, and
the scale is as important as the test
