HOW TO MAKE
A SUCCESS IN
POULTRY WORK

"My husband and | had no inten-
ton of going into the poultry bust
ness on an elaborate SCALE" says Mrs.
Frank Shea, of 2716 Bonita avenue,
Sacramento, but our experience in
the business for the past two years,
during which time the flock has been
increased quite materially, has shown
it to be a remunerative side line and
one in which any person can be sue
cessful if they are willing to start in
40 small way, as we did, and gain the
necessary experience before increasing
the capacity of the plant.
when we started with a small flock
of Barred Rocks it was our intention
to keep them only for what table eggs
and an occasional broiler, fryer or
rooster we could get, utilizing almost
entirely scraps from the kitchen and
table that had been waste.
Our present flock is the result Of
rigid selection, for we did not want
any but the best breeders in the pens.
In comparison with culled pen this
selection has demonstrated the fallacy
of breeding on the hit-and plan,
as SO many poultrymen, especially
those who do not attempt to improve
their flocks, are apt to do.
From a flock of thirty hens we
gathered during the month of Janu-
airy 304 eggs, which record compares
favorably with that of the winning
pen of ten hens in the Exposition lay
ing contest during the same period.
Our birds are housed in an open
front structure, and the droppings
boards cleaned daily, for we soon
found that sanitation was an import
ant factor in the health of the flock
and in feeding for egg production.
We believe, says, Mrs. Shea, that poul-
try conditions next fall and winter
are going to be excellent, and so will
endeavor to get out larger number
of chicks to meet the demand that will
come at that time.
High feed prices should not dis
courage the poultryman already es-
tablished, but they should encourage
breeders to practice greater selection
of their breeding Notwithstanding

CENTER OF
FLORAL ATTRACTION AT
AGRICULTURAL FAIR

Fashion moves in cycles, even in
Flora's realm, and the flower over
which people raved generation ago
is again before us, the center of floral
attractions at the agricultural fair.
But the dahlia of today has much
more of grace than did the earlier
types; and in its culture there are
many things to urge to success.
1t pays to be neighborly with
dahlas. A single root will soon null
tiply to dozen; ard if each of a hall
dozen neighbors purchase some choice
variety, at the end of the first or sec
ond season the exchanges can be most
profitable.
For those who like single varieties
Some beautiful colors will be included
there is bonanza in seed packet
Sow the seeds in the window early.
The plants terminate quickly, and
may be shifted into pots as they be
come larger. Transplant to rich gar
den soil as soon as danger from frost
is over, and they will bloom nearly
as soon as those started from bulbs.
Some may not develop sufficient
root growth to keep through the win
ter; some will Even if they do not,
you will have the pleasure enough
during the one season to repay the
small cost
Try one variegated variety, thus get
ting whole bouquet with no two
alike from the same plant.
Do not try to make too many roots
by subdividing. 1t is better to have
one strong than two weak plants.
Plant deep, stake, and feed well.
Dahlias require sunny location in
a literally MANFRED, sandy loan
Their position should be such as to
receive plenty of air, and spreading
space, and the sun for the best part
of the day The soil should be kept
loose or stirred by liberal cultivation,
especially after rain. Under no con-
sideration allow the soil to become
baked. If the soil has tendency to
be stiff or contains clay deposits it is
well to incorporate we'll into the soil
where the dahlias are to be planted
some coarse material such as sand
wood or coal ashes, or in fact any
thing that will give the soil perfect
drainage

THE SELECTION
OF SOILS FOR
CITRUS FRUITS

There are certain re luiremcnts, says
DR.. A. J.. Cook, State Horticultural
Commis that should always en-
gage the most serious and painstakine
attention of the one about to engage
in the growing of oranges and lemons
soil, water and climate are dominant
factors in successful citrus culture
The soil should be of rich loan
either clay, or sand or gravel may pre-
dominate. Humus is an absolute re-
quisite for any productive soil for any
any crop, so good supply of organic
matter is essential While in such
arid soils as those of California, hui
mus is unfortunately limited in amount
yet the nitrogen content of the humus
in these soils is usually large; thus
| say, rich loan, for though we may
supply this decaying organic matter
when it is mayer in quantity, yet the
orchardist is most favored who has
in his soil goodly proportion of this
valuable humus
The clay soils are very strong, very
productive, very enduring, but they
must be kept aerated and in good filth,
which is no light task. The man who
cultivates clay citrus grove must
ave good brain power, and must use
his brains to the limit. Such soils
must never be titled when not in
prime condition, and the drainage
should be perfect
A sandy. gravelly soil is less reten-
tive of moisture, is not so strong and
must be abundantly fed. 1t can be
worked almost Immediately after a
heavy rain with no serious injury, and
so may be handled with less care, less
of diligence, in short, less of brains
Such soils suffer little from lack of
aeration.
1t is also necessary to have a soil
that is deep and with good sub
soil. An artificial hardpan from six
to eigth inches from the surface is not
uncommon in any kind of soil. A
natural hardpan still deeper down is
often found. In purchasing a location
for citrus trees, one should never fail
to dig down and find out the condition
of the soil.-Sacramento Bee.

EXPERTS TO
STUDY TURKEY
MANAGEMENT

If the American turkey is to play
as important part in the Thanks
giving and Christmas feasts of the flu
ture as is has in the past, the people
of the United States must learn more
about the methods of raising this
great domestic bird, according to the
experts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
AT the present time the turkey is
considered one of the hardest of any
of the members of the poultry family
to raise. Disease kills off many every
year, and this fact is said to be the
principal cause for frequent shortage
of supply and the variation in price
which is observed by housewives when
conducting their marketing.
The Federal Bureau of Animal In
dustry has sent Andrew Weiant, a
scientific assistant, on survey which
will include thorough study of meth
ode of management, not only of turk
eys but also of guinea fowl.
The guinea fowl is occupying more
important place as an article of food
because of the fact that it has taken
the place of game in many parts of
the country where wild game birds
have become scarce.
Weiant will travel through all sec
tons of the country where turkey
raising has been developed as an in
dustry. The Governments expert will
study not only methods of manage
ment in the different sections, but will
look into the cause of the great loss
in turkeys.
The Department of Agriculture re-
port will outline what progress has
been made in experiments in breed
ing wild and domestic turkeys and also
attempt to learn whether the resulting
breed is more hardy and immune to
disease

SOME PRACTICAL
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT
HENS AND ORCHARD

| am constrained to enter a few OBJ
jections to the reasons given by sew

keeping poultry in the orchard
When | purchased my present place
a little less than year ago, | no.
ticed that three or four acres of or
chard near the buildings were prac-
tically bare as to any green thing
grow on the soil while the remainder
of the orchard had fairly good cover
of burr clover, alflaria, mallow, etc.
A little inquiry from the former own
err and a little observation showed
that the chickens were responsible
for that bare ground. There were
only about 80 of them, but what with
eating seed in the dry season and nip
ping off every green sprout that came
up in the fall they had denuded the
soil within the radius of their ordin-
airy roamings. 1t happens to be some
and this is much in need of humus.
The effect is still seen this winter for
there is scarcely any growth upon the
same area now except for the vetch
] sowed last fall
Besides destroying the cover, the
chickens in wet weather puddle the
surface soil and so injure its physical
condition. have watched this closely
where poultry are confined in a small
yard and while the damage is much
less on larger range still it is an in

oned with
Another nuisance to contend with if

sary evil, but if the poultry run 1T

HEAD OF FLOCK
SHOULD NOT BE WITH
EWES IN WINTER

Every man with bunch of bred
ewes on his hands knows it is bad
policy to allow the. ram to run with
them through the winter, says the Ma
tional Stockman He crowds them at
the feed through, worries them other
times and by using his superior
strength in hunting and pushing may
cause costly abortions. 1t is no place
for him, but still too often he is found
there because it is too much bother"
to keep him by himself. Nor should
he run with the fattening lambs to hog
the feed and keep them from making
the best of gains. On some farms he
will be found with the cattle, running
to the strawstacks. But here, besides
filling his fleece with chaff and other
filth, he is likely to be underfed unless
special provision is made for him.
We can't expect our sole investment
in service fee for use of ram to be
his cost price. He will not care for
himself, and if he is not worthy of his
hire better send him to the butcher
and secure one that is. Generally a
place for him can be found close to
the other sheep, where he will not be
lonesome and where he can be fed
handily. Perhaps as good a place as
any will be an open lean-to against the
regular sheep shelter that affords
dry place for him overhead. His lot"
may well be an acre or ten acres that
may happen to adjoin the sheep yards.
Here he can keep dry-the most essen
tial thing-and mere he can get plenty
of exercise and be easily fed as the
other sheep are. And please do not
forget pail of fresh water every day.
and some salt when the ewes get
theirs. It, won't pay to neglect the
ram.

"a dead case against this lewd young man,
who had been pursuing the girl for nearly
two months, and who, after setting trap for
her, on Memorial Day, 1913, had to use such
violence to overcome her struggle for her
virtue, that he killed her; and then had the
diabolical cruelty to attack her character,
after she was dead, and to say she had been
too intimate with men In the factory.
The following white witnesses testified to
Leo Franks bad character for lasciyiousness
at the factory: Miss Marie Karst. Mrs. c. d.
Donegan, Miss Myrtle Cato, Miss Nellie Pet
ty, Miss Maggie Griffin, Mrs. S. L. Wrinkle.
Franks lawyers did not dare cross-examine
those white ladies and girls.
Why?
Because that would have opened up the
way for the Solicitor to inquire as to the facts
and details which caused them to swear that
Frank was a libertine
Miss Dewey Howell was brought from the
Home of the Good Shepherd, Cincinnati, and
she testified that while she was working in

A little white boy, who was not impeached
swore he had seen Frank try to force his talk
on Mary Phagan, and had seen her trying to
rebuff him.
Miss Irene jackson, one of the defendants
own witnesses, had to say on cross examina-
ton, that Frank character for lewdness was
bad, and that the girls around the factory
were afraid of him.
Miss Nellie Wood was offered by the State
to prove that on the second day after she
went to work at the factory, Frank APP
preached her, and made an indecent pro-
posal to her.
Franks lawyers objected to the testimony,
and Judge Roam ruled it out
And yet Frank, in his statement to the
jury, took the position that he did not know
Mary Phagan, and in all of these newspapers,
magazine articles, &C.. that are being strewn
broadcast over the country, Frank is being
represented as clean young man of good
character and morals.
In Chicago Mr.. Lester Bauer has taken
command of the forces working for Frank.

cefnDer ~, 1914, appears full page article
beginning "Will the State of Georgia send
an innocent man to the gallows?"
The writer Of the article is Burton Rascoe
The entire article proceeds upon the idea that
poor little Mary Phagan was a feWd girl;
that she had been immorally intimate with
two employees of the factory; that Jim Con
ley, drunk and hard-up, wanted her pay
envelopes; that he seized her, to rob her,
and that he heard some one calling him. and
he killed her.
Mr.. Rascoe says that, ordinarily, juries are
instructed that they are to assume the de-
fendant is innocent, until he is proven guilty,
but that in Franks case, it was just the OPP
posite
Mr.. Rascoe says that, during the trial, men
stood up In the audience and shouted to the
jury: "Youd'd better hang the Jew. IF you
don't Well hang him, and get you too"
The Chicago Tribune claims to be ''the
worlds greatest newspaper" with circula-
ton Of 100000 for the Sunday edition.
1t is therefore reasonable to suppose that at
least two million people will get their ideas
OF the case from this special article in which
the public is told that Judge Roam allowed
the audience to intimidate the jury by shout
ing their threats, to the jury, while the trial
was in progress.
Of course, any one who will stop and think
a moment, will realize what an arrant false
hood that is
Had any such thing occurred, the able
watchful, interchangeable lawyers who have

life, would have Immediately moved a mis-

which are misleading so many good people.
take this extract from the article in the
Chicago Tribune:
1t has been declared by Burns, among others,
that the circumstantial evidence warranting the
retention of Conley the suspected slayer was
dropped and Conley led to shoulder the
blame upon Frank in somewhat the following
manner:
What do you know about this murder?"
"Nothing.'

And forthwith Frank locked up as sus-
pect.
In fact, the greater part of Mr.. Rascoes
article, like those of the hacl-writer, G. P.
Connolly, are re-hashes from VIM. J. Burns.
Does not the Chicago Tribune know that
Burns was expelled from the National Asso-
