BUYING TURKEY
BREEDING STOCK
Secret of Success Is In Getting
Little Pou1ts Well Started
Should BE Allowed
Much Range.

In buying your breeding stock be
sure and get good strong. healthy
birds. Don't go around among your
neighbors and buy few of the cheap
est scrub turkeys that you can find.
but be willing to pay good price and
be satisfied with nothing but good
birds. The secret of turkey raising is
to get the young turkeys we'll started.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
success. The young turkeys will not
need any feed for "a hours after
Matching. And then don't feed too
much at a time. but feed often.
Turkeys enjoy a variety In feeds.
Table scraps are good and the term
should include not only portions of
cooked food. but rinds. grape seeds.
apple cores. etc. While grain should
be the basis for satisfactory ration.
these accessories are very helpful.
The potatoes which are too small for
table use. If boiled and salted little,
are devoured greedily by fowls They
should be fed twice a week at least.
The more we try to domesticate and
confine them the more susceptible
they become to disease. Even in the
most severe weather turkeys should
be allowed to roost out doors and for
age as widely as they please.
There is only one sort of weather
from which 1t is advisable to house
the birds This is the wet. sleety
weather. when snow or ice may cling
and freeze to their plumage When
such a night impends the old turkey
raiser rounds up the flock and gently
drives the whole aggregation into a
large, roomy shed kept ready for the
purpose. The next morning they are
set at liberty bright and early. fed.
and then allowed to roam again. But
II the nights are dry. no matter how
cool the season, they are allowed to
roost in the air, away up in the
branches of the large trees near the
barn.
Turkeys are very different from
other farm fowls. They are brought
to the most prime condition when al
lowed the most freedom. They should
no more be forced to eat and drink
with chickens and ducks than horses
should be obliged to feed with hogs
They should be fed at the barn daily
but be more or less free to forage in
the corn lot, the grain field and the
meadow and wood lands, if not too far
from home.

what about the tombstone he ought
to have had up seven years ago. that's

The Widow Lee listened to great

the man from Shaw G Co. passed on
to bring up in Grafton, eight miles
away.
There he found Deacon Carter, who
bought eggs and butter for shipment
He gave him just the same talk as
he had the widow, and the deacon
agreed to try canvassing for a month
and see how it went. He was
supplied with list of twelve widows
who had buried one or two husbands
each, and the name of the Widow
Lee headed it.
The deacon had to go over to Me-
dina on business next day anyway,
ana he planned to call on the widow
When he arrived he found her getting
ready to set out with horse and buggy
to take her first order. He had been
told not to be too harsh in introdu-
cling his subject. and he therefore
talked about the weather and other
things for awhile before saying:
Widow. may inquire. II you have
yet marked the graves wherein your
two husbands repose?"
There's shingle sticking up, but
nothing more. ! was told not to be in

DISCOVER NEW
POTATOE DISEASE
wart Is Enemy of Crop Which
Is Attracting Attention In
Europe and Is Liable to
Be Introduced Here.

The wart disease is new enemy of
the potato crop which is attra citing
great attention in Europe, and which
is liable to be introduced into the
United States at any time. 1t affects
the tubers.- forming large rough un-
slightly warts. and, in severe attacks.
completely destroys the crop. Once
the fungus gets into the soil. 1t is i'm
possible to grow crop of potatoes on
the land for several years.
The fungus which causes this dis
ease was discovered In 1896 In po-
tatoes grown in Hungary. 1t is now
prevalent in many places in England
and there is great danger that it may
spread to Ireland. 1t is also found in
Germany and some other European
countries. 1t has been carried to
Newfoundland, but has not yet ap-
peared in the United States.
1t is spread by using affected po-
tatoes for seed. and. as this country
imports considerable quantities OF po-
tatoes every year. there is danger that
It may be introduced.
The United States department of
agriculture has recently issued circu-
lar for free distribution. giving q brief
account Of this disease.

Luncheon Set.

The engaged girl in the city has ex-
cellent chances to make an extreme
ly attractive luncheon set at small
cost by attending sales and selecting
from the mussed and odd doilies all
sizes which have ordinary plain seal
lops, says the Ladies' Home Journal
Buy six or dozen Of the ten-inch
size for plate doilies. not bothering to
match the stamped patterns SO long
as the scallops match. If you choose
the ordinary scallop you can match
them in six or four-inch size for tum-
bier doilies, and in 15. 18 or 20-inch
size for the centerpiece. Launder
them to get out the stamping. then
mark and embroider each with q
pretty initial or monogram, In differ-
ent sizes proportionate for each dol
ly. and you have lovely luncheon
set at very little cost. You will be
able to get the smaller doilies at flve
cents and sometimes two for ive
cena. whereas you would pay 81. >

That was the lingo Of a keen and
well-dressed man who called on the
Widow Lee In the village Of Medina
because he had been told that she had
buried two husbands and had not
erected stone over the grave of Ell
ther. He didn't say It. however, until
he had vainly tried to get 4 couple Of
orders from her.
"Yes. have lost two husbands in
my time" she admitted as she sighed
two long sighs. They were both good
men. and some day shall buy grave
stones. but there's no hurry about it.
That was what both OF them said-not

Beaded Design. Retain popvI,rltx

Beading Is much used on all STYLES
OF dressy and lingerie waists, and
this form OF elaboration is also In eyt-
dence on the cotton voile and mar
quisette models. Wash beads are used
to bring out designs In yoke outline
and on collar and cuffs, and French
knots made OF cotton floss In imita-
ton of beads are also satisfactory
means of working out new patterns,
as the process OF laundering does not
affect this work. In some cases
French knots are used in solid de-
signs, while in other instances they
are employed In outline effect.
