prime at three years, and nearly as
good at four years old. It Is. there
fore. a mistake to sell on all the older
bids and retain the young ones for
breeding purposes.
Young turkeys are Of delicate
nature until they are fully feathered
and have thrown out a red on their
heads. which usually occurs at about
three months OF age. After that they
are hardy, and may be allowed un-
limited range at all times.
To fatten turkeys for market they
should be confined In pens OF about
ten feet square and from six to eight
birds to the pen. The quarters must
be warm and dry. and the birds must
be protected from the rains and storm.
A good fattening food is mash of
two parts bran and shorts, one-fourth
ground wheat. mixed with q little
water. Whole corn and wheat is also
an excellent fattener and they may be
given as much of this as they win eat.
A little beef fat, finely chopped, given
once or twice week. is relished and
has a good effect Skim milk should
be kept before the birds always.
Turkey raising can be made very
profitable business, particularly in the
West, where all kinds Of grain grow at
small cost.
It win pay well II only the regular
markets are used, but If a private
trade is worked up. which is easily
done In any part Of the country to-
day. the profits can easily be increased
from 25 to SO per cent.

VALUE or WINTER MATURING
Gives Spring Rains Chance to Soak
Decomposed Fertilizer Into Soil,
instead Of Washing II Away.
(By G. A. FoRMosA.)

think manures can be applied
cheaper In the winter, as most farmers
are not very busy at this time of the
year, consequently they should not be
so much occupied as IN the spring
when they should be rushing in their
crops
think when the manure Is applied
in the winter it gives the spring rains
a chance to soak the decomposed ma
nure into the soil instead of washing
it away, as some writer's think, and
also helps rot the coarse manure that
is left, SO by the time the land is ready
to work. It does not gather under the
pillow beam or clog the cultivator teeth
as it does when applied in the spring
] think, and a large part OF the best
farmers think, that the fresher manure
is applied the more valuable 1t is, for
when it is placed in a large heap to
rot. part Of it will be almost useless
by the time all Of the heap is rotted.
The reason why some of it is spoiled
is this. the large heap generates so

Manure, properly applied, we all
know Is very beneficial to the soil, In
asmuch as it supplies much Of the lost
fertility, but manure can be SO applied
as to be an injury instead of benefit.
Always try to apply your coarse ma
nure to clay soils. as they need some
thing to keep them porous as wen as
to fertilize them.
Do not apply coarse manure to
loamy soil. as it keeps it too open and

To the Citizens of Lincoln County

To the Citizens of Lincoln County
The time has come when all the
people OF Lincoln County should be-
gin to better Appearances about their
homes In the towns and the country
alike. All back alleys in the towns
should be thoroughly cleaned out, all
ash and manure piles should be haul
ed out during this month and every
thing that can be burned should be
burned and gotten out Of the way.
1t is..to your own interest more than
to others that this should be done, 1t
prevents the spread Of disease germs,
improves the looks and value Of pro-
perty and makes a cleaner and better
community. In the country all dead
animals that have died during the
winter should be properly disposed OF,
and all back yards and barn yards
cleaned up as we'll as possible.
Lincoln County is one Of the richest,
ii not the richest, counties in South
Dakota and therefore it should re-
ceive all the atten tion possible to-
ward Cleaning it up anu make it the
cleaHest county iE the state.
We would like to encourage the
sowing of grass seed and flowers where
ever there is room. We hope that the
citizens Of this county will take no
tice and act accordingly and in May
when we make tour Of inspection
over the county we want to see every
place cleaned up In good order for TIE
summer.

April 23rd., at the Opera House.
There will also be representatives
from the high schools at Vermillion,

The program of speaking was pre-
ceded by two reels of motion pictures
These pictures we're supposed to be
first class educational films and had
been secured especially for the occa-
sion. but the first series was a great
disappointment. The Opera house
management are in no way to blame,
however, for this Disappointment as
they had assurance from the motion
picture company in Sioux Falls that
they would send good films that would
be suitable for school entertain
ment. At the close of the program of
speaking and while the judges were
making up their decisions the high
school girls giee club under the
leadership OF Miss Vincent rende red
two very pleasing musical selections.
This first contest was quite we'll at

Complete Works of Caesar

When Caesar took eastward ride and grabb-
ed the Gauls of Rome,
What was the first thing that he did to make
them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples load and liberty
forbid?
No; he dug in and built good roads-that's
what old Caesar did,
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foemans
Breast .... ......
Or did he try to make them feel that Roman
rule was best?
What did he do, to make them glad when he
their lands amid RI 3@as
He built good roads in place of bad-that's
what Old Caesar did,
He built good roads from hill to hill, good roads
from vale to vale;
He ran a good roads movement till old Room
got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy home, build roads
their ruts to rid.
Until all roads led up to Rome-thats what old
Caesar did.
If any town would make itself the center of the
map,
Where the folks will come and settle down and
live in Plenty's lap,
If any town it's abodes of poverty would
rid,
Let it go out and build good roads-just as old
a. Caesar did.
