FANCY FIGURES WILL Be ASKED FOR
TURKEYS THIS YEAR

Owing to the unfavorable weather
during the early season, the supply
of turkeys this summer in West vir-
s!nia has decreased about fifty per
cent from last year, veryfewturkeys
were raised in this state and to have
a turkey on the Thanksgiving table
this year the purchaser will have to
pay very fancy figure. Reports
from the county districts in and
around Mason county are to the effect
that not only is the turkey supply
very limited this year but that the
chicken crop is very short and these
fowls will also sell at fancy figure
during the holidays.

TE COsT OF LTY III

In explanation of the gradual in
crease in the cost of living, an ex-
change advances the ingenious and
plausible theory that the tremendous
increase in the production ofgold has
increased its purchasing power. 1t
takes less wheat to buy an ounce of
gold, it takes more gold to buy a
bushel of wheat" Since 1896 there
has been an annual gain in the output
of the precious metal. Within IS
high prices, but they contain no sug-
gestion to benefit them. The average
man who is struggling to make both
ends meet, on the same salary he was
paid ten years ago, is not helped by
the information that the increase
of gold is responsible for the increased
cost of everything he weafs and eats.
If gold is cheaper, and foodstufs cor
respondinSly higher, he should secure
more gold as the reward for his labor.

DOCTORS MISTAKES

their family physicians, suffering. as they

and in this way they present alike TO
themselves and their eaSy-going or over

OCTOBER'S BRIGHT BLUEWEATHER.

o suns and skies and clouds ofJune,
And flowers of June together,
Ye can not rival for one hour.
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes
haste,
Belated, thriftless, vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast
And lanes with grapes are fragrant.
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without sound of warning.
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining.
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are SOW
ing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing:
When springs run low, and in the
brooks,
In idle golden freigbting
Bright leaves sink nOiseless in the
hush
Of woods, for winter waiting,
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts.
By twos and two together,
And count ike misers, hour by
hour,
october's bright blue weather.
o sun and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boats together,
Love lOveth best of all the year
october's bright blue weather.

NEVER DRENcH CATTLE.
A Personal Demonstration that VIII
Show Its Danger.

A Personal Demonstration that VIII
Show Its Danger.
More cattle die from the effects of
being drenched than from tubercu-
losis. Perhaps the best way OF de-
monstrating the danger of drenching
cattle is to advise the reader to
throw back his head as far as possible
and attempt to swallow. This you
will find to be difficult task, and you
will find it much more difficult and
almost impossible to swallow with
mouth open. II is for this reason that
drenching cattle is a dangerous prac-
tice. However, if a cows head be
raised as high as possible and her
mouth kept open, by the drenching
bottle or horn, portion Of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
into the lungs, sometimes causing in
stant death by smothering. At other
times causing death to follow in a few
days from congestion or Inflammation
of the lungs.
We are constantly receiving letters
at this Office describing the sudden
with such minor ailments as constipa-
tion or loss of appetite, and upon in
vestigation find that they have b IN
drenched and the cause of their death
being due to same. This is oftentimes
proved by sending out one of our as
sistant veterinarians to hold post
mortem upon such animals only to
find that portion of the drench was
still in the lungs; other cases WI ere
death had been prolonged and latc-
the animal had died Of mechanical
pneumonia. I do not feel that the
stock raisers Of this country realize
the danger in drenching cattle and
the enormous financial loss brought
about by same.-Dr. David Roberts,

Dry Lot Hog Rations.

The determination on the part of
great many farmers to feed nothing
but farm grown crops upon the farm,
is one that has made it extremely
difficult to select rations suitable for
fattening growing hogs in dry lot,
which are available and will meet
with approval. Skim milk will se"ve
this purpose as we'll, or possibly bet
ter, than any other farm product, but
it rarely ever is available in sufficient
quantities for extensive use in feed
ing hogs.

Profit by Experience.

This years experience should be
next years profit. For instance rag
weed appears in many grain fields.
To keep it from seeding it should be
cut just at the right time and the
time is short. If cut too early the
weed continues growing and branch
ing; if left too late until the stalks
are hard and woody, raking is ne
cessary. But if cut when in bloom
the crop will mature practically no
seed and the following spring there
will be little seen of the weed.

more likely to wilt under too much
heat.
1t pays to have 4 system in taking
off the crop. Planted as l have des-
scribed, the middle plant in each
square should be cut first, then two
of the corner ones. By so doing
room will be made for the setting of
a few plant in the middle of each
square first; following which the
space will be made clear for the new
plants when the corner ones are re-
moved. Absolutely no time will then
be lost in any part of the bed.
This system should be remember
ed for under the best of conditions
some loss must be expected from
burning and rot. The former gives
more trouble in January and later,
and least in December when the
suns rays are of sufficient strength
to be dangerous. Lack of warmth
from the sun, however, makes rot
ting to be more feared, and to guard
against this the soil should not only
be sterilized throughout, but care
taken to keep the temperature even
and not too high. From As to SO de-
grees is safe heat in which to grow
lettuce, though it will sometimes do
well in higher temperature, and Of
course increase in size great deal
faster. 1t takes too much coal, how
ever, to make it profitable to run
a high temperature, even if soft coal
is used, which is the kind to buy as
it is the cheapest. 1t is best to pro-
ceed carefully and on a small scale
under glass, for then one can feel his
way, as it were, and find out for
certain whether he is making a safe
venture before he gets in so deep that
he cannot extract himself, financially,

YOU can't expect any ones disposi

Being able to accomplish wonders is
what makes man liar.
Truth has a startling way of showing
itself in unexpected guise in unusua

When your nerves are stretched tC

you wonder why it was ever thought

ment.

When you are freed from labor,
The days work at an end,
And homeward you go hiking
The evening hour to spend,
Before the house you enter
To finish up the day
Pause e'er the gate you open
And throw your crouch away.
1t may be in your business
You need a manner gruff
To make a good impression
Or run an awful bluff,
But in your family bosom .
Forget the daily grind
And so when you foregather
AT home have peace of mind.
1t may be that the children
Won't know you for awhile,
Your wife may think you ailing
If you consent to smile,
But keep on bravely at it,
Chirk up a bit and sing.
They will, if you are patient,
Get used to anything.
In other words, be decent
About the family board.
Though it may cost an effort,
You'll gloat at the reward,
And with a little practice
1t will not be so hard.

To speak of you as 'pard,"

and especially is this so in regard to
lettuce. Taking about 3 months 10
grow, a crop to be ready for the
mid-winter market should be sown
in October; for early spring, some
time in December, and so on. Steam
heat, of course, Is required, and in
addition to it underground warmtA

ches to foot of stable manure; and
this, If some new is added, can be
used for a second crop.
The plants must first be started in
a bed by themselves then when of a
fair size set about inches apart in
another bed; AMI finally transplant
ed again-tnis time to their perman-
ent place. Here they should be set
about inches apart each way, and
this is best accomplished by laying
the surface of the bed off into four
inch squares; the setting will then
be more even and taking off the crop
and resetting the new one made cas-

With a light, sandy soil they will
