IL the young turkeys can be induced
to roose in large tree near the poul-
try house they will do very well there,
because the tree is the natural roost-
ing place for turkeys. We know a
woman in Virginia who raised about
200 turkeys every year and they all
roasted in two large trees in the yard
at the rear of the house. An inclined
board is placed against the tree so
that the poults can get into it when
they are quite young Many of them
continue to walk up the plank to the
first branches even after they are
fully grown while the others use their
wings to reach the branches.
Young turkeys cannot thrive In
damp quarters. They should be well
ventilated and placed where they will
get plenty OF sunshine
Young turkeys should never be hur-
ried or driven home or quickly forced
into the poultry house. They are de-
liberate in their movements and
should take half an hour or more to
find their roosting places and settle
down for the night

PEANUT BUTTER IS POPULAR
Bureau Of Plant Industry Issues Cir
cular Dealing With Its Use
and How Manufactured.

Circular SO of the Bureau Of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture.
says:
The growing popularity OF peanut
butter as food has led to many IN
quiries regarding the methods en-
ployed In its manufacture. Peanut
butter is In reality a very simple
preparation. consisting merely or
fresh-roasted peanuts ground fine and
sailed to suit the taste. Several
large factories and a large number OF
smaller ones are now devoted to the
manufacture Of this product with
which to supply the rapidly increas-
ing demand. Some of the larger fac
tories are almost models in their
construction. equipment and manage
ment, while many of the smaller es-
Establishments, which have no elaborate
equipment, are turning out an excel
lent product
Peanut butter was first manufac-
tured and offered for sale as a food
for invalids. but the article was soon
adopted by many persons who for one
reason or another. such as prefer
ence for vegetable foods only, object
ed to the use OF ordinary dairy butter
1t soon outgrew this condition OF linn
tied use, and its development on a
commercial scale has been a general
product. II was never intended that
this product should be used as a sub
stitute for or a competitor of butter,
but as a luncheon delicacy and to add
variety to the diet. Peanut butter is
wholesome and nutritious food prod
uct and has become popular article
upon our markets. Last year one
manufacturer used over 1870 cars Of
shelled peanuts in the production OF
100000 small Jars Of this food.
Other manufacturers used large
quantities. the total consumption or
peanuts for the manufacture Of pea
nut butter alone amounting during
the year Of 1911 to approximately
1000 cars OF shelled goods, or 1900
900 bushels
I'm order to produce high-class pea
nut butter the manufacturer must en-
ploy the best materials. On the 9TH
er hand. the use Of the best stock OBJ
tainable will be OF little avail unless
the work of converting into salable
product Is conducted In a sanitary
manner"

and he must buy a new one to replace
her. At the end of the second three
years the young COW would be twelve
years old, and would have to be sold
for about $40, while the second old
COW would bring about the same price
Reckoning the interest on the mon
ey invested, the amount would be
S21.60 for the purchase of the young
COW, and SIT for the interest on the
cost OF the two old cows, a difference
OF $3.50 in favor of the two old COWS.
But the large average product of the
young COW during the first three years
would no doubt in most cases more
than overbalance the difference
Some buyers prefer to get old cows

On the other hand, the buyer who

ORIGIN OF THE CRESCENT
pire and Eastern Church-Now
Regarded as Mohammedan.

London.-Though now regarded as
essentially Mohammedan, the cres-
cent was Christian in it's origin. A
crescent moon was the emblem OF the
Byzantine empire and the eastern
church, and the Turks adopted 1t as a
badge Of triumph after the capture OF
Constantinople in 1853
With reference to the crescent the
story of the origin of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is worth recalling
1t arose in the sixteenth century when
the Turks were besleging Vienna, and
failing to carry 1t by assault began
to drive mines under the walls. At
that period the city's bakehouses were
in the walls under the Notifications.
and when the mines were almost
through the sound of the work was
heard in the underground bake houses
and the alarm given. 1t was to cele-
brate this event that the bakers adopt
ed the Turkish emblem as the shape
in which the make their bread.
