weighing as much as so pounds when sent to
market
Every spring few wild gobblers. trapped for
the purpose in Virginia or the Carolinas, are In
troduced into the focks on Fishers island, to con-
tribute fresh blood. This is esteemed matter OF
the utmost importance. Our tame turkeys are no
torousy difficult birds to rear under ordinary cir
cumstances, being delicate and liable to epidem
ics-on which account many farmers have given
up trying to raise them. The reason why is sim
ply that there has been too much in-breeding, and
the stock has lost its hardness
A number of varieties Of the tame turkey have
been developed by breeding, the principal ones
being the Bronze, the Buff, the Slate. and the
White, the Black and the Narragansett. The
White was originally an albino But all OF these
are derived from single Species which is Of
Mexican origin. There is only one other known
species which is native to Yucatan and Guatema

DROUGHT CAUSES DRY FARM
Unusual Spell Of Dry Weather Along
Texas Coast Country Induces
Scientific Methods.

The unusual spell of dry weather or
drought that has recently affected the
Texas coast country is causing farm
ers and truck growers to seriously in
vestigate the dry farming methods OF
conserving moisture in the SOIL The
desire for reliable information in re-
gard to this system Of cultivation is
increasing and there is a great demand
from many parts Of Texas for the
dry farming bulletin recently issued
by the Sunset Advertising department
An authority on dry farming in
speaking of the matter the other day
said: while every one, including the
Oldest settler, will admit that this is
an exceptionally dry and unfavorable
fall season for planting winter vege-
tables and other crops, it reminds us
that such seasons occasionally occur
in the gulf region, and is particular
ly appropriate time to study and in
vestigate so-called dry farming culti-
walton, which is simply another term
for sensible soil culture in all regions
where droughts are known to occur.
Dry farming or scientific soil culture,
as some prefer to call it, is nothing
new. 1t has been advocated by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the state agricultural col
leges, and practically demonstrated
by Prof. Campbell and others. It has
been successfully practiced for many
years past by many well-known Texas
farmers and horticulturists. including
such men as Bushway of Algoa, Neel
of Seguin, Walton of Victoria, Pyron
of San Antonio, Kirkpatrick of McKin-
ney and others, who have written and
lectured on this subject and who call
it common sense farming Dry farm
ing has been practiced for centuries
in the old world and by the original in
habitants in the semi-arid and desert
regions of North America, who learn
ed the secret in prehistoric times, how
to prevent evaporation and conserve
moisture o4ough in the soil, with
limited rainfall, to grow their crops
In some desert parts Of Asia, where
irrigation is impossible and rainfall
irregular, after preparing the soil to
receive the rains, planting the crops
and continually cultivating to conserve
the moisture in the ground, the inhab-
itants pray for dry weather and no
rain till the crops are harvested"

HOrses' Teeth.

Old horses or others with poor
teeth should always have ground
grain. 1t is almost impossible for
them to make use of the whole grain.
During the spring months or at any
season Of the year when they are she'd
ding teeth colts should have ground
grain. in order to prevent any unnec-
essary use of the jaws during such a
period.
1t is argued by some that the cost
of granding will not make it profitable
10 grind feed for horses not at work,
unless they have defective teeth. But
where one is prepared to grind his
own grain himself the work can be
done at odd times and the expense Of
grinding need hardly enter into the
question.

ton in the shows of that period. Of
late years their popularity has been
somewhat on the wane, the Orping-
tons. on account of their smooth legs
having somewhat taken their place.
In the colder regions breeders were
attracted to them because they proved
rather good winter layers; in our
climate, however, this advantage has
never been pronounced In shape and
size they much resemble the Brahmass
the line Of differentiation being a lar
ger abundance of feathering and q
rather rounder contour of body. Pro-
fuse feathering at first attracted the
fancy, which was carried to almost abb
normal proportions The hens are in
veterate sitters, and hence would be
good mothers only for the fact that
they are somewhat clumsy, hence
often break eggs and smother their
young. When once on their feet they
are hardy race and easy to grow. AS
table fowl, they rank with the Asiatics
generally, furnishing a good carcass
of fine flavor and good grain, AS
exhibition fowl, all the varieties are
attractive in the show pen, and are
handsome on a run Of green grass. AS
a commercial breed they have Of late
years been somewhat eclipsed by the
American and English classes.

our greatest game bird from final ex'
tinction.
The wild turkey, Of course, is q
species entirely distinct from the
tame bird with the white-meated
breast. One reason why its preserl
walton is important is that 1t Is
needed to contribute from time to
time its hardy blood and much-prized
game flavor to the domesticated va
riety by interbreeding The compar-
atively dark meat of the breast OF
many of the tame turkeys that come
to market nowadays at the Thanks
giving season is attributable to such
matings, which are eagerly sought
by the knowing producer OF feath-
cred stock
The wild turkey is so notoriously
shy that most people would be IN
clined to suppose 1t incapable OF do
mestication Such an inference, how
ever. according to the expert, Is
mistaken one. AS a matter of fact,
the bird is not by nature much afraid
of man, but rather tame and socl-
able, so far as human beings are con-
cerned, In Massachusetts, during
early colonial days there were great
numbers of wild turkeys, and fre-
quently they made themselves at
home In the close neighborhood Of
the dwellings Of settlers.
To-day the species Is entirely ex-
tinct In New England. and in other
parts Of the country the fowl Is ex-
tremely wild and hard to shoot-not,
however. because Of a natural shy
ness Of disposition, but simply for
the reason that II has been hunted

inches by a yellow sandy subsoil. The
forest growth is pine and scrub oak.
There are 1917 acres in the farm, Of
which &C acres are under a system OF
rotation and 30 are occupied by ten
ant houses and their surrounding lots.
The remainder is woodland The farm
has been under cultivation some so
years, and for the eight or 10 years
previous to the present ownership had
been rented.
Several tenant houses we're scat
tered promiscuously over it, a nunaber
of bad gullies had been allowed to de-
velop, swamp hole occupied part Of
one field and clumps of scrubby trees,
bushes and broom sedge had grown
up making the fields irregular In
shape and giving the farm rough
and unthrifty appearance. The fertil-
ity Of the soil had been reduced to the
low ebb of producing 300 pounds OF
seed cotton and five to eight bushels
of corn to the acre.
Now this is all changed; the bor-
ders of the fields have been straight
ened, the tenant houses moved from
the tillable lands, gullies filed up and
the swamp hole drained. The tillable
land has been divided into three
fields Of 22 acres each; the farm has
been fenced and a new house, barn
and other buildings have been erected.
The farm to-day presents an appear
ance of neatness, thrift and pros
