No fowl Is 80 hard to doctor as
turkey. A secret OF success with
turkeys lies in avoiding inbreed-

the start by inbreeding has poor
chance for its life.
The baby chick trade has grown
wonderfully. Twenty years ago
poultrymen never dreamed Of start
ing business in that line. while
now hundreds Of thousands OF
these innocents are annually sent
out. ...
AS the nights are still cold Il
is advisable to give the hens but
eleven eggs at the time Of setting
them. This affords the hen a bet
ter chance to cover and warm tbs
eggs properly. bringing forth bettel

STUDY FIRE PREVENTION
The Insurance Commissioner
Would Have 1t Taught in
All Universities.

MILWAUKEE. Wis. August A.-"In
this day of conservation there Is no
line of endeavor along the lines Of
preservation that can be more proit-
ably pursued than that OF the preven-
tion of fires and the cutting down OF
the losses caused by Them" said c. A.
Palmer. insurance commissioner OF
Michigan, in an address before the
national convention Of insurance COM
missioners today on Fire Prevention. -
If the question OF carelessness could
be eliminated entirely as q cause OF
fire he had no doubt that the prospec-
tive s3o0.000.000 OF property loss from
the fire for the present year would be
materially reduced.
He believed that few of the cases Of
incendiarism were conceived prior to
the placing OF insurance on property.
and that many criminals are developed
through the suggestion OF the agent
as to the value of property. Closer
scrutiny Of their various agents by
companies was suggested In the way
of partly correcting the evil.
In conclusion Mr.. Palmer said:
Instruct your people so that they
may realize the seriousness of the situ-
alton: advise them as to their moral
responsibility: teach them that their
duty In the matter of fire prevention is
as vital and as sacred as their duty to
protect Old Glory from insult. See
to it that the study OF fre prevention
holds an important position in the cur
riculum OF the university OF the ma
tion.'
