Vehicle Run hY a Sail.

The feasibility of sailing easily over
the frozen surfaces of rivers and lakes
has long been recognized and utilized,
and it would now appear as if the
wind can render helpful service to
some extent in connection with loco
motion over normal roads. A German
inventor. has perfected and patented
q simple sail vehicle which makes fair
progress over good roads and across
sandy stretches, such as sea beach.
The dominating features in the con-
structon are lightness and effective
steering facilities. The present form
is light framework supporting a sad
die and a mast for the sail, and rest
ing upon four wheels, one wheel on
either side and one before and one
behind. The two latter are of a larger
diameter than the former, and all are
far apart, as is the practice with au-
tomobile wheels. A person sitting on
the saddle rests his feet on this trans
verse axle, and by suitable pressure
can alter at once the relation of the
wheels to the main axis of the frame.
work. This arrangement furthermore
leaves his hands completely free for
adjusting the position of the sail or
using brake. The whole device has
a certain lightness and elegance which
will appeal probably at first to the
lover of port.-Government Consular

A Talk IN TurlxeyS

Now is the time to feed the early
them ready for the Thanksgiving
market. 1t rarely pays to hold them
for the holiday market. The Thanks
giving market is nearly always the
best. And turkeys take on fat better
now than they will later when cold,
snowy weather comes. Corn is the
national fattening grain for the ma
tional birds and the most available
feed with most of us. We like to
give them all the corn they will eat
these days for their evening ration,
and oats soaked over night in water
for the morning meal. Another thing
very essential while feeding turkeys
heavily is coarse sharp grit. And
plenty Of milk to drink is an aid in
fattening turkeys. How their bodies
plump up after a few weeks of good
feeding. 1t won't do to rush them off
to market regardless of flesh. The
returns from lean lot of birds are
sure to be discouraging. When well
fattened their plumage is smooth and
glossy. The experienced buyer can
tell by the appearance ofythe plumage
whether they are we'll fattened or not.
In England, am told, they confine
turkeys during the fattening period
with good results. We have tried
shutting them upwhile fattening with
poor success. They are such liberty
loving birds, in our experience, it
won't do to confine them very long
at any time in their lives.
Don't you think it will pay to keep
enough turkey hens so you will have
eggs to spare your friends and neigh
bors? They will willingly pay you a
good price. l have a neighbor who
keeps a dozen turkey hens and she
sells all the eggs to her neighbors at
81 a setting She considers this the
surest way of getting money out of
turkeys. One nice thing about SELL
ing turkey eggs for Matching is that
it is no trouble to sell them near
home. This lady I have been telling
you about gets orders for her eggs
over the phone, and they are all spo-
ken for long before the laying season.
One dollar for eleven eggs doesn't
seem like very big price, but it
amounts to neat little sum at the
end of the season, and this party is at
no expense to sell her eggs. Whether
we sell the eggs or set them ourselves
we should be careful in selecting
breeding birds and holding onto them.
Selling off older hens we know to
be good layers and breeders and keep
ing young ones for breeding is mis-
take. Up to their fifth year turkeys
are profitable, as breeders. And they
are not fully mature until two years
old, and at three years a hen is at her
best.-Fannie M. Wood, in the In
diana Farmer.

Vegetable Milk.

A cheap substitute for the milch
cow has been discovered by the Jap
anese in the form of tiny bean,
states the Farmers Home Journal.
The Juice, which is extracted by a
special process from the bean, is said
to be an excellent vegetable milk. the
properties of which render 1t highly
suitable for use in tropical countries.
The preparation is obtained from the
Sofa bean, which is popular article
of food among the poorer classes of
Chinese and Japanese. In making
the vegetable milk the beans are first
of all softened by soaking and boiled
in water. The resultant liquor is ex-
actly similar to cows milk in appear
ance, but is entirely different in its
composition.

Potash REQUIRED With Lime,

Many farmers have an idea that
lime will unlock the stores of insolu-
BILE potash in the soil and make Il
available for plant food. But when
you ask for their reasons you will
find them very uncertain and unable
to substantiate their opinions either
with the results of experiment station
work or practical experiments on their
own farms. Properly used lime is
one of the most valuable aids to sue
cessful farming, but when used with
out fertilizer it will impoverish the
soil, as shown by the old English pro-
verb: Lime without manure will
make the farm and the farmer poor"
There is nothing gained by making
extravagant claims for the use of
lime, and that 1t makes any of the
potash in the soil available is very
doubtful and not supported by expert
ments so far as l can learn. In fact
my experience is that an application
OF potash will give much better re-
suits with lime than without it, which
"Oaio hOt pC ehC vast IL lllC llIlt
made any quantity of potash avail
able. In addition to its effect in
sweetening the soil, all four mate
rials, life, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash are necessary for plant
growth. No one element will answer
the purpose without the other, but
all are necessary to obtain the best
results. An experiment conducted
with fertilizers at the Ohio expert
ment station shows the. increased
yield of clover in the hay crop in ro-
tation of corn, oats, wheat, clover and
timothy, the lime being applied to
the corn crop. Acid phosphate and
lime gave an nincrease of 1S47 pounds;
acid phosphate, potash and lime gave
an increase of 1881 pounds, a gain of
GA pounds for the use of potash with
the lime and phosphoric acid, and
this in soil that the authorities say
is very deficient in phosphoric acid
and lime and supposed to have a fair
amount of potash. The weight of
evidence goes to show that the use of
potash and lime should go hand in
hand. Still the farmer should not
follow any experiment blindly, but
rather test his soil for himself and
find out the properties of lime, phos-
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash,
which will give the best results on his
own farm, and use the results of the
experiment stations simply as a guide.

For Young Horses.

An experienced breeder has discov-
cred that equal parts of ground oats
and corn make an excellent ration for
young horses. Others add bran to
make we'll balanced ration to pro-
duce a symmetrical growth of bone,
muscle and fat in young horses. The
bran is rich in protein and phospho-
rus, which build UP bone and muscu-
lar development, and being mildly ca
thartic prevents constipation. Clover
hay and alfalfa are excellent rough
age for young horses, as they are rich
in the elements of bone and muscle
growth. Commercial horses now
must have heavy bone as a founda-
tion of stable endurance, and breed
ers should develop their young horses
on those rations which will promote
the growth of bone, the elements of
which are contained in oats, bran, alf-
alfa and clover.-Indiana Farmer.

DOCTORS PROVE TYPHOID i.
CRIME ON HOUSE FLY

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 81.
doctors all over the country will
be busy catching flies, now that
two eminent medical men have told
them new scheme to detect
typhoid fever through the insects.
DR.. Liston H. Montgomery and DR..
w. Forrest Dutton at the Amer
lean Medical association confer
ence here revealed the results of
their hunt for typhoid germs. They
used the flies as detectives.
Flies carry the germs to houses,
the doctors believed, and they
started out to "get the goods" on
them. A number of flies were
caught and put under microscope.
Those that showed no traces of
typhoid germs were kept and the
others were released.
Then the fly prisoners were
stained red or green or allowed to
fly away to heaven, wherever that
Is. In time they returned to the
house.
The red or green flies then were
caught and put under the micro
scope again.
The work of the doctors would
look ridiculous were it not for the
great results they got. On every
colored fly that was examined
typhoid germs were found the sec
ond time, showing that while the
flies were in the neighborhood they
acquired typhoid germs and were
ready to spread the disease to per
sons who were in the house.
In this way it has been made GER
tain that typhoid is carried by flies
as well as reaches and mosquitoes.
Screens, the doctors say, are
