SUITABLE FEED FOR TURKEYS
" Allowed to Run About the Farm as

The less turkeys, either old or
young, are fed, the better. The breed

range, and. in fact, this is almost all
that can be said about the matter. II
On a farm. they need no feed only

Dancers 20 the Eve.

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical illu-
minating expert. and DIR. F. II. Yer
hoef. an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al
legged dangers to the eye from ultra
violet radiation Of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount 10 nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects Of ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any cumulative
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects" Very
little Of these rays can penetrate the
cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that struggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude,
in cutting off dazzling lights and un-
due heat.

Once a year the farmer has to fill
his silo. The operation is outside of
the regular Yutine of farm life, and
unless considerable thought is given
the matter beforehand, it is likely to
prove unnecessarily expensive. Infor-
nation collected by investigators in
= the United States department of ag-
riculture will, therefore, prove useful
to farmers who have not worked out
for themselves the most economical
system.
Because the silo has been in use for
some years in these states, the inves-
tigators selected Wisconsin and Mich
igan for their work. Cost records on
81 farms were carefully kept, reveal
ing wide divergence in the cost of Ia
Dor per ton of filling the silo. 1t was
found, for example, that one farmer
did this for 46 cents, while another
had to spend sc cents. The average
cost was Ga cents

bly,, and in order to ascertain the most
satisfactory method, the investigators
adopted for their comparisons a uni
form rate of Is cents an hour for men
and the same rate for a team of two
horses. Engine hire, including the
engineer, was placed at $3.50 per day,
coal at S. per ton and gasoline at 10
cents a gallon. Ten hours were con-
sidered a days work While these
figures cannot of course be consid-
cred as absolute, they afford a conven-
tent basis for the individual farmers
calculation OF the expense of filling
his silo. The various methods en-
ployed or the farms that we're in
vestigated were classified in three
groups.
Cd The most common practice was
to have one man with three horses on
a corn harvester cutting corn in the
field; two men to load the wagons in
the field; three or four men with
teams, depending on the distance from
the field to the silo, to haul the corn

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
During Summer Weather Lice and
Mites Multiply Rapidly-Remove
All Litter From Floor.

The necessity Of thoroughly clean.
Ing the poultry house at this season
OF the year is obvious to all who give
the subject much thought. During
the summer the hot weather has
quitely likely added filth and disease
germs to those which already existed
and has assisted any lice and mites
that were present to multiply their
number rapidly. To put the fowls in
winter quarters filled with vermin,
disease germs and dirt is to Invite
trouble before cold weather fairly.sets
In, and to kill the profit in advance.
The ceilings and wall should be
thoroughly swept down to remove all
dust, dirt and cobwebs, and all litter
should be removed from the floors and
nest material from the nest boxes.
The wooden or cement floor should be
scraped and sprinkled with lime. The
dirt floor should have at least two
inches of the surface removed, unless
1t has been done, and fresh sand put
on earlier.
The interior of the house and all
equipments should be sprayed with
thin whitewash. forcing the liquid into
all cracks and crevices. If the first
coat does not make the house look
bright and clean, put on another as
soon as the first is dry, when you will
have building that is clean, sweet
and healthful for the fowls.

TOOK SPEECH IN THE DARK
stenesrapher Says II Was Not Dr.
ficult to Follow Remarks
Of "unele joe"

Sometimes a man gets a reputation
that is undeserved." said Sam Gray, a
member Of the stenographic corps Of
the house of representatives, at the
Willard. according to the Washington
Post 1t happened to me a few years
ago when l was travelling with former
Speaker Cannon in a political cam
paign. Uncle joe made a lot OF
speeches in that particular campaign,
and was there to make stenographic
report and transcript of them. In
one western city the speaker was talk
ing to a tremendous crowd Of people,
when suddenly, without warning, the
electric lights went out, leaving the
house in total darkness.
For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the
speaker talked on in the darkness. 1t
was up to me, of course, to make re-
port of his speech, and / did. Naturally,
| had to feel my way, and / made my
notes unusually large, so / would have
no trouble in reading them. When the
lights we're restored was right there
with the speaker, and made an ac-
curate transcript of his speech. Some
Of the newspaper boys heard of the
story and published it as a marvellous
feat
THE fact is, 1t was not at all difficult
to follow the former speaker. He is
not rapid talker, and l had no trou-
BILE in taking his remarks"

report on Jerusalem. 1t Is impossible
to give an exact estimate of the popu-

believed that 1t figures at 10000,
$4,000 might perhaps be a more cor

ing, composed Of $4,000 Christians,
10000 Mohammedans and 10000 Jews,
many Of whom are immigrants from
Russia.
1t is remarked that in spite Of the
emigration of many Jews to escape
military service there has still been
a marked increase in this section of
the population on account of the con-
tinuous influx Of aged Jews, who come
with the intention of ending their days
in Palestine.

CINE when steam was used for power,
and. occasionally, when gasoline en-
gines were used, one man to feed the
cutter and one man in the silo to
spread and tramp the silage. Each
teamster pitched off his own load.
This makes crew Of eight or nine
men, exclusive of the man who tends
the engine.
(2) In cases where there Is a short
age of teams the following method is
generally practiced. One man, with
three horses, cuts the corn; two men
load the wagons in the field; two men,
or boys, with teams, haul the corn to
the cutter; one man unloads the
wagons; one man feeds and one man
works in the silo. AS soon as load
arrives at the cutter the teamster
changes his team for an empty wagon
and goes back to the field after anoth-
er load. When wagon is unloaded
it is run out of the way by hand. With
this method, boys who are not strong
enough to handle the green corn, can
be utilized to drive the teams. This
method requires a crew of six men
and two boys, exclusive of the engine
tender.

able and help is scarce, the following

horses, runs the harvester in the field ;
