EFFECT OF WAR SHOWN
IN DEMANDS ON CHARITY

The declaration Of hostiliti,s brought
temporary panic in the United States
as IL brought disaster among the bell
li@crent nations. and during tho lull in
business which followed in this coun-
Try, thousands of men and women were
thrown out of work. Effect Of the war
was felt in Richmord, and III Decem-
Der 1914. the expenses Of dispurse ment
by the Associated Charities amounted
10 Si,oi".3i. whereas in the corresponds
ing month of the previous year gen

INFORMATION
REGARDING THE
TURKEY FLOCK

The ordinary scrub turkey hen will
lay from l8 to rs eggs per season, but
the well-bred bird now produces as
high as from As to 90 eggs, the aver
age on most farms nowadays being
about IS.
A turkey does not mature until ii
is about three years old, and to obtain
strong and vigorous offspring hens
from two to three years old should be
mated to strong, active males of the
same age or older. The males and
females should never be taken from
the same family, and no breeder
should go into the business unless he
is willing to start with the standard
bred stock.
The highly bred tom turkey will
bring from $40 to $50. and 500 to $500
is not an uncommon price for trio OF
tom and two hens. But the off
spring of these high-class birds always
bring fancy prices, and the original
cost, therefore, should not be seriously
considered if one is to attempt breed
ing as business.

EARLY HOUSING
OF BULLETS
is ADVISABLE

A week ago Mrs. L. Thomas, of Sac
ramento, had an article in the Poul-
try Pages of the Sacramento Bee on
the importance of early housing of
pullets to get winter eggs. She ad
vised putting pullets in permanent
quarters at four months of age
The past season we raised lot of
cokerels and pullets, intending to sell
them for breeding purposes. Owing
to high price for feed, Chinese eggs,
and other causes, we sold but very
few, with the result we have been
crowded for room and continually
making changes, resulting in a very
poor egg yield.
Last October we received six hens
and two cockerels from Tom Barron,
of England. AS we were not expect
ing them so soon, we were unprepared
so housed them in chick coop, six
feet by three feet, with small yard
They arrived October and laid their
first egg on the 18th and managed to-
lay twentys six eggs by the last of the
month. From November to 20 they
laid twenty-seven eggs.
We then moved them to a house
eight feet by sixteen feet, with a good
yard
They did not appreciate this move,
however, as they dropped off in egg
yield in day or two. They became
sulky and moped around. In fact,
were not like the same birds in any
respect.
They laid ninety-fve eggs all told in
November. In December they laid
fifty-four; January, forty-one,. They
have laid thirty-three eggs in twenty
three days the present month. The
past week they act as if they were
going to get into their right stride
again.
The birds were very tame, just the
kind that one would suppose change
OF house would not affect.
Chickens arc a good deal like hu-

ONION MILDEW

The onion mildew has been serious
in this State especially during the
last year, in the regions where the
soil is heavy, on the beaver dam lands
and where there has been an abund
ance of moisture. 1t shows as a pur
plish color on the stalks. The trouble
has been known long in England, in
Europe, and in various parts of the
United States. Bordeaux spray, $3.50
strength, should be applied with a
sticker added, as the leaves are very
waxy and the spray will not stay on
otherwise. A sticker may be made OF
two pounds of resin, one pound of sal
soda and one gallon of water to each
fifty gallons of spray. The sticker
should be boiled separately in an iron
kettle out of doors until it is clear
brown color. 1t will take from one
