SUCCESS IN RAISING TURKEYS
First Consideration Is Desirable Loca-
tion and Suitable Ranse-Few
Other Essentials,

What do ! consider the most impor-
tant essentials to be successful tur-
key raiser? First important consider
alton desirable location and good
range; next, sound. healthy fowls of
standard breed to begin with. for no
one can succeed without sound. heal
thy birds to start with. Third. careful
feeding. Fourth, keep free from lice.
Last, but not least, dry roomy coop
80 they can be kept out OF sudden
showers. These equipments, coupled
with sound judgment and proper care
OF poults, should make anyone success
full in raising turkeys, says writer In
an exchange.
The way ! manage mine after years
Of experience. gather the eggs daily,
keep in a place neither too cool nor
too hot; turn eggs ever day. When
the hen gets ready to set make a coop
in some dry place, placing l5 or l6
eggs In nest: bring hen up late in
evening, place on nest, keep fastened
up two or three days. turn out 80 she
can get something to eat and drink.
Watch to see II she goes on same nest.
When eggs hatch leave poults In nest
36 hours. Move hen and poults to
large roomy coop inclosed in pen to
keep anything from running over
them Dust hen and little ones with
some good insect powder to kill lice.
Feed them egg bread first few days.
Give them plenty Of fresh water.
When they are a few days old give
them lettuce and onion tops chopped
fine with bread crumbs. Also give
them a little chicken feed consisting
OF grain, small seeds. grit and oyster
shells. Keep fastened In coop until
strong enough to keep up with hen;
turn out In the morning. but see that
they come home at night to roost.
Sprinkle little black pepper occa-
sionally in their food but be sure not
to overfeed, as 1t brings trouble and
disaster in it's train.

GARDEN ann
FARM NOTES

Keep a record-our memories are
short.
Now Is a good time to examine the
seed corn.
Almost all our common garden veg
etables require q somewhat alkaline
soil.
Let the manure freeze after being
hauled to the field; not around the
barn.

Is we'll to treat the inside of 1t with

The Amer the soil. the better the
vegetables, both In quantity and
quality.
Most farms should carry more live
stock, in order to help maintain the
fertility of the soil.

the field in some cultivated crop and

Asphalt In Antiquity.

That asphalt was known to the an. cients Is we'll attested fact. says Sci eice. its use as binder for masonry in Babylon being in point, but of its use other than this we known nothing Strabo tells us that as early as 200O B. O. the streets of Babylon were paw cd, and so. too. presumably were the great roads leading out from the many gates of that city. Babylon was situ- ated in the alluvial plain of Mesopo- tamia, and its building material was al- most entirely clay, either as such or in the form of bricks. 1t seems rather doubtful that these latter were used to pave the streets at that early date. As phalt was abundant and much used in building operations, and it does not seem improbable that it was utilized to improve the streets.

PORTO RICO
(Continued from First Page.)

friend of mine-an engineer in a. great irrigating project-once told me that he had succeeded in gathering crew of more than 200 men, worth all and more than the $l.50 day, he paid them. Shortly after that he was driven to resign by planters who feared he was demoralizing their labor by giving too much.
 These are just few of the more inn portant features of the problem that our country has undertaken ln annexing this island. We have done much for their welfare have given them schools and wonderful roads; have enriched tine wealthier classes but there is much more to be done.

 Tropical conditions will always differ from those of temperate climates and countries !; the mixed blood of weaker races will always be a hin6rance, but on tue other hand that very mixture shows qualities that promise in many ways results that will justify all wise measures that may be taken to insure them as mass. They promise we'll and all good citizens of our country should work and pray to make that promise good.
