MOVING CUSTOM MILL.

Wednesday evening th" stockhold- ITS of the Nome quartz mill held a meeting to consider a proposition made to them by the owners of five certain quartz claims on Snow gulch. supposed to contain a large body of gold bearing rock iu the form of ledge, and country rock True the owners of the property state it Is of low grade free milling. but goes something like nine dollars 10 the ton. in free gold. and the concentrates carrying suffi cient values to help swell the output
 The moving of the mill and reorgan- iizing the company involves several important features that should be well understood and made clear before one step Is taken to bring about the change petitioned for.

REARING OF TURKEYS
Producers Have Not Been Able
to Satisfy Demand.
Result of Experiments Obtained at
Washington Station by Artificial
Methods of Value to Those
Interested.

Notwithstanding the popularity of
the turkey for human consumption
and its consequent high price. the
turkey producers have not been able
10 supply the demands of the market,
due to the fact that turkeys are more
subject to diseases than chickens and
because the care of the young poults
requires much patience on the part of
the poultryman. Nevertheless, turkey
raising returns good profit to the
producer when properly handled. In
Farmers Bulletin 200 the problems
connected with raising turkeys have
heen outlined and treated more or less
in detail.
The results obtained in the follow
Ing experiment. conducted by the
Washington station, on Matching and
rearing turkeys by artificial methods,
should prove of value to those who
desire information on the care of
young poults.
About the list of June we secured
102 turkey eggs of the Mammoth
Bronze variety, which nicely filed the

PEARL FISHING IN SCOTLAND
Gems of Considerable Value Have
Been Found in the Rivers of
That Country.

1t is common belief that pearl
oysters are found only in ocean beds,
and perhaps it may be a surprise to
some to learn that pearl fishing is ex-
tensively carried on in several Scot
fish rivers and If the pearls there
found are not quite SO fine as those
got from the ocean, they are in con-
siderable demand and can command
good prices. On the River Tay, 40
miles from its mouth, quite a small
trade is done in fresh water pearls,
and there the method of procedure is
as follows: The fisher having armed
himself with a long bamboo pole split

ERADICATE THE CATTLE TICK

Before the cattle BUSINESS can be
made a great success there is one
thing that must be done. The tick
must go. Every one must be put out

can't be done. 1t has been done in
North Carolina in cooperation with
the United States department of agri-
culture. Six years ago there were
only 16 counties in North Carolina

are about so counties.
The tick is a great drain on the
blood of our cattle; cattle that have
never had them are subject to Texas

When reared in the natural way
and seeking to be lowered, the poults
instinctively duck their heads and
creep under the mother hen. while
she assumes a settling position. The
poults having thus assembled they be-
come distributed among the feathers
and under the wings of the hen The
warmth from the hens body satisfies
them. They become quiet. Deprived
OF the mother hen they bunch when,
in their search for warmth, a scram-
bic ensues, each poult making a des-
perate effort to get under the bunch.
In the. struggle they become surpris-
ingly entangled. causing a condition
that brings death to the weakest ones
from smothering.
in order to save the remaining
poults, they were divided among three
hovers. which ended the losses. These
hovers were at first kept at about 90
degrees temperature for about a week,
when they were reduced in tempera-
ture about 10 degrees weekly. until
down to 20 degrees. which tempera-
ture was maintained until the poults
were about six weeks of age, after
which time they do not require arti-
fetal heat They we're permitted to
occupy the hovers for a couple of
weeks longer, when the hovers we're
removed entirely. Care had been
taken in keeping the hovers scrupu-
lousy clean by removing the dirt and
supplying clean chaff. After removing
the hoyers, the poults were confined to
their nursery rooms. each 4 by ~

feet 1t was found necessary to pro-
vide additional runways as they rap
idly outgrew those they were occupy
ing. At four months of age they were
given their liberty. They would not
range. nor travel but a few rods from
the place where they had been con-
fined.
Unlike chickens. the young poults
appeared not to know where to find
their food. Teaching them to eat
promised to become quite a problem.
Failing to attract them to their feed
in other ways. a few young chicks
were placed in the nursery with each
flock of poults. 1t was surprising how
aptly they took their first lessons
from the chicks. Within one hour the
problem was solved and all were
feeding and drinking, with no further
trouble. The first feed was stale
bread. moistened with sweet milk.
