SUCCESS IN RAISING TURKEYS
First Consideration Is Desirable loca,
ton and Suitable Range-Few
Other Essentials.

What do I consider the most impor-
tant essentials to be a successful tur-
key raiser? First important consider
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
so 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 a writer in
an exchange.
The way | manage mine after years
of experience, l 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 > or 16
eggs in nest; bring hen up late in
evening, place on nest, keep fastened
up two or three days, turn out so she
can get something to eat and drink.
Watch to see If she goes on So Inc nest.
When eggs hatch leave poults in nest
So 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 few days old give
them lettuce and onion tops chopped
fine with bread crumbs. Also give
them 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, hut see that
they come home at night to roost.
Sprinkle a little black pepper occa-
sionally in their food, but be sure not
to overfeed, as it brings trouble and
disaster in its train.

LIVE STOCK MEANS SUCCESS
Corn and Roushage Than to
Give to Animals.

On nearly every farm live stock
raising Is merely a side line where 1t
should be the main thing. There Is
no place where the farmer can market
his corn and roughage SO protitably as
feeding 1t to good live stock. The mar
ket Is right at home in the feed lot,
and no long hauls to town are neces-
sary. If a farmer can feed his 60-cent
corn to good hogs which will pay him
so cents for it, does he not make an
advance on the price of his corn and
a profit in the fertility returned to the
soil, as we'll as a saving of expense in
hauling? Breeding pure-bred live
stock is q business which should be
entered gradually and retired froam
reluctantly. Improving the common
stock little each year will lead up to
the pure-bred business. There can
exist no permanent system of agri-
culture without live stock and on high
priced land, pure-bred stock is the
only kind to have.

FUNCTIONS OF TILE DRAINS
Farmer Cannot Afford to Wait on Ma
ture and Must Provide Artificial
Means of Drainage.

Drainage is the limiting factor on
msny farms where the hand of man
has not assisted nature in the re-
movaI of free soil water, says Farm
Press. Nature has furnished us with
a surface drainage system in our
rivers, creeks and rivulets. In some
places she has provided subter-
ranean drainage in sand and gravel
subsoil.
If allowed to take it's time, the
water would follow small passage
ways to some natural outlet, but the
agriculturist cannot wait Where the
soil is underlaid with a heavy clay,
hardpan, sand or limestone rock, it is
necessary for man to assist nature.
He resorts to digging a trench from
two and one-half to three feet in
depth, above the impervious stratum,
and place therein a tile drain. This
tile rapidly carries away the free wa
ter that rises to or above the stratum
of hard clay or rock.
The function of the drain is not SO
much to remove water as it passes
downward as it is to carry it away as
is rises to the tile level. A good
crop is dependent upon a large root
system. Since the root system Of the
plant will not develop in free soil
water, the shallow laying of the drain
tile means a small crop. Deep laying
of the tile provides a large feeding
area for the roots Of big crop. Deep
drainage and frequent shallow cultiva-
ton smile at droughts

JURISDICTION is DISPUTED
ATTORNEY n. [. Butler viii Claim That
Governor Official Acts Are Not
Subject to judicial Review.

Madison.-Probably one of the
most important questions ever decid-
ed in this state is involved in the in
functional proceeding of Insurance
Commissioner Herman L. Ekern
against Francis E. McGovern, Will
lam l.. Essman and L. A. Anderson
The governor, perintendent of pub
lie property, and the appointee of
the governor for insurance commits
sioner are being sued as citizens in
the action. 1t is understood that H
l.. Butler, acting as special attorney
for the state in representing the de-
PENDANTS in the controversy, will
question the right of a state court to
enJoin the executive branch of the
state government in the person of
the governor, and also whether the
governors official acts are subject to
review by such courts, which is a CO.
ordinate branch of the state govern
ment. The contention will be made,
1T is said, that with such right of
jurisdiction an official act of the
governor could be blocked and that
he would be stripped of all discre-
tionary powers. In rebuttal of these
arguments, it is said Ekern's attor-
neys will claim that the governor
must follow the statutes in any ac-
ton he takes, and that the laws pro-
vide for a fair and impartial hearing
for any public officer before he may
be removed from office.

NITROGEN is OF IMPORTANCE
Large Sums of Money Are Expended
Yearly for Fertilizers Contain
Ing This Element.

One Of the most important plant
and tree foods is nitrogen Large
sums of money are spent every year
by farmers and fruit growers for fer
tiliZers containing this element. The
air We breathe is the greatest known
storehouse of nitrogen, but the nitro
gen in the air is not in form which
can be directly used by the plants. 1t
can, however, be converted into a
disable form by the action Of soil bac-
teria-those microscopic organisms
which exist in soils and materially af-
feet the growth of crops. Cultivation
brings these sol, bacteria into direct
contact with the air from which they
take the nitrogen and convert 1t into
food for the adjacent plants and trees.
Without cultivation this beneficial &C
tivity of these minute organisms Is
greatly restricted, and consequently
uncultivated orchards are not as well
supplied with the food materials re-
CURED for the prolific production of
fruit Of the best quality. Cultivation.
too, keeps in the moisture OF the soil,
and give the rain and sun q chance to
produce the best results.

GRINDS ROOTS FOR POULTRY
Machine Intended Mainly for Chop
ping Cabbage VIII Be Found Of
Convenience for Fowls.

The grinder is intended mainly for
chopping cabbage when making sauer-
kraut, but it is also of much service
in grinding vegetables and roots to
be cooked for poultry, says the Popu-
lar Mechanics.
The pase, A, Is made of plank, at
least one foot wide and four feet
long. with a nine and one-fourth by
nine and one-half inch hole cut in the
center. The grinding part, or cylin-
der is made of wood three inches in
diameter and nine inches long, with
eight-penny nails, spaced three-six-
teenths inches apart, driven partly
into 1t and then cut Off so as to leave
one-fourth inch projecting. The
cylinder is turned by means of a
crank attached to the end Of the
shaft
A hopper, B, is constructed four
by nine and one-half inches inside
measurement at the bottom and as
large as necessary at the top. A
space is provided at the bottom as
shown to receive the concave C, which
consists of one-inch board, three to
four inches vide and nine inches long,
with nails driven in and cut off as de-
scriEed in the cylinder.
The hopper is securely fastened on
the top of the Dashboard and over the
cylinder. The concave Is slipped into

Fla. 1-Chain Sob SIeds.

The draft-chain being entirely indie
pendent of the tongue, the latter may
be made light. If used much on the
road, it should be heavier, and set
stiff.
The hobs are coupled together with
a forked cable chain in place of a
reach, with a grab-hook on each end,
and a ring in the center. This ring is
put into a clevis at the rear end OF
the saddle-plank Of the front bob, the
other ends of the chain to rings on
the nose of the rear bob. The rings
are large enough for the chain to
double through, so as to let them out
or draw them together, and by which
logs of any length from to 20 feet
may be placed equally on both. The
rings, properly put on, cannot catch
tree or brush and the chains playing
up and down, permit the rear bob to
go over the toughest ground, logs or
brush.
The shoes of the runners are made
of the hardest dry wood, sawed slight

fastened to the nose-piece with two
clevices-one on the tongue, and one

to turn half around without moving
the load, and to clear trees and logs.

The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great a mistake as she who smiles
too little, for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please, she lays herself open to the
charge of insincerity. A smile can
transform a plain face into loneliness,
but it only does this when it is the
outcome of some special emotion, and
not a mere aimless parting of the lips.
Smiling to order" or on any and ev-
cry occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.
