Few farmers who raise turkeys
make suitable preparation for the bus
mess. These birds, being but recently
reclaimed from the forest, where they
take care OF themselves, many take 1t
for granted that they are capable of
doing we'll without care in a state of
domestication. and as they are of a
wild and roaming nature, assume that
the more freedom they have the better
it is for them, says writer In Balti-
more American. This is one of the
half-truths that do great damage in
the rearing OF the birds.
An experienced breeder says: "On
grounds that are contaminated by 9TH
er poultry one has less chance OF
raising the poults than when they are
put on clean ground away from other
fowls. The most critical time in
young turkeys life Is when it is from
two to six weeks old. After this all
danger is practically over. as turkey
becomes very hardy and rugged
New blood should be introduced ev-
cry second year Another mistake is
made In mating cockerels with pullets.
The resultant progeny are weak and
very short lived. Mature birds are
always best for breeders, and II we
have an exceptionally choice hen we
do not hesitate to keep her for num-
Der OF years. We have had hens nine
years old that laid we'll. The eggs
from old hens are much larger and
are usually sure to hatch strong and
vigorous poults.

Because the volume of business is

McGregor, Public Service engineer,

Mr.. Wight is so busy that he is not
prepared to argue on the case on
Saturday.
In the opinion of Alderman F.
William Hilker, the Public Service
man has not a leg to stand on In
these proceedings. He feels that the
courts will not sustain the action
and that the proceedings will have
little If any effect upon the project
other than to delay it temporarily.

We consider that the best methods
of improving In size, weight and stand

him with the largest hens, even

brooding her poults, and the results
from her methods are an Improvement
over any other way
Confine the mother hen in coop
where the poults can run in and out
at will. The coop should be moved
daily on the fresh grass and should be
supplied with plenty Of wheat chan
to keep 1t dry and warm. The pouits
must not get wet. For the first two
weeks l give the little poults dry
wheat bran soaked In sweet milk. At
ter this they are sed almost wholly on
cracked wheat until old enough to eat
whole wheat. Sweet milk Is excellent.
When half grown, give them bran
mash early In the morning before they
go off and usually put in little sui

A Land Without Flies.

1t should be refreshing and bit en-.
couraging to the fatigued, hopeless fly
fighters to know that there is in the
world country In which there are no

there are no flies in British West In
dles-starts up number Of questions
and curious coniectures Why is it
that they have no flies? Is It that
they have lost the seed, or is 1t that
they have some active parasite or an
imal that feeds on flies, like the South
American ant eater, for instance? Ger
tainly 1t is not that they have no
filth. They have heat and moisture,
and, if rumor has ii true, they have all
the filth that is necessary. That these
three conditions can exist without any

While the statement that "a given

condition of soil' seems incontroYert-
IDLE, inasmuch as it is so we'll sub
stantiated by orchard results under a
wide range of conditions, the reason
why this should be so is not so easily
stated. It seems to depend funda-
mentally upon the water holding ca
pacity, or rather the moisture CO.
efficient, of the soil. The capacity of
a soil to hold capillary water, which is
the only kind plant growth can use,
depends on the soil texture q. e., the
size of the soil grain); (2) the soil
structure or the grouping of these tiny
grains into clusters, thus making it

care, must be taken to prevent the
growth of grass or weeds for a few
feet beyond the outer tips of the
branches. Grass in this place is
more serious than if near the trunk
because the feeding roots are under
this portion of the soil. 1t must be
admitted, however, that large part
OF the aggregate number of apple
trees in both Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut regularly receive neither Gull
tivation nor mulching. There are also
thousands upon thousands of Seeding
trees in these states that have not
been grated to improved varieties.

fine sandy loans everything subsoils

in the soil; and (4) the degree of soil
filth, which is a combined effect of
the foregoing and tillage.
Apples ripen bit later upon a
northerly slope than on a southern
one, but an earlier soil on the north
side of a hill, such as a sandy loam,
may mature fruit as early as heavier
soil on the south SIDE
The necessity for good depth of sub
soil can not be emphaized too
strongly. Shallow soils should be as
siduously avoided for orchard pur-
poses. The presence of unbroken
rock, large lodges, or hardpan within
three feet of the surface should be
considered prohibitive A soil depth
Of at least six feet should be insisted
unon, and an even greater depth is
highly desirable. Soils with THE un-
derlying rock too near the surface
have been responsible not lnfrequently
for the failure Of commerce. orchards
owing to the incapacity Of the sub
soil to store sufficient moisture to off,
set droughty conditions, or to get rid
CT excess moisture early enough in the
spring. The condition of tree growth
and fruit yields makes it evident that
soils for any kind of orchard plant
ing should be deep, well drained and
friable, yet not to porus as to be
droughty. For the red varities in
New England both son and subsoil

as a desirable fruit soil, but stones,
are advantageous only IN that they
may help a soil that is too heavy or
clayey Or too impervious-by making
1t somewhat more pervious to water.
Stones are disadvantageous to porus
sandy soil. The fact that a soil is
stony does not necessarily imply that
it is productive. If apples are to be
grown with profit and. competition is
keen, the soil must be productive or
at least capable of being brought to
productive state and so maintained.
Much Of the current belief that
stony soils possess some peculiar
advantage for orchard fruits has un-
doubleday arisen from the success of
many orchards located on stony hills.
Orchardist Is Important.
The personal factor of the orchar-
dist is important because a man who
likes to grow apples may grow very
good ones in spite of adverse soil con-
ditions while one who does not care
for orcharding may not produce good
APPLES even in excellent soil.
