LEG WEAKNESS IN TURKEYS
Trouble 10 Generally Caused by Over
feeding Of Fattenlng Foods and
Lack Of Exercise.

(By PROF. F. W. KAZMEIER. Texas
Agricultural Coliege.)
Leg weakness In young turkeys Is
generally caused by overlooking of
very fattening foods and lack of exer.
else. Quite frequently 1t is also caused
by the old turkey making them walk
too much, causing them to tire in
their legs. 1t is also caused some.
times by their roosting on cold. damn
ground. thus causing Inflammation OF
the Joints, which may develop rheu.
matism. A proper remedy would. OF
course, be to remove the cause. Feed
the young turkeys rather sparingly on
good food, not too much at a time.
Feed more pinhead wheat and oat.
meal. Feed a little at a time and
often. Do not overfeed. II the old
turkey hen is a kind that travels too
far with the birds, prevent this as
much as you can by yarding. Raise
your turkeys on fresh ground each
year. Provide good. clean dry QUAR-
tiers for them at night.

The object Of COW testing associa'
lions is to make the use of scales and
Babcock machines a community affair
to unite dairymen into a partner
ship for the purpose Of employing a
trained man to visit each herd at
regular monthly intervals and weigh
and test the milk of each COW. At
the end Of the year. this man gives
each dairyman a record Of the indi.
viduals in his herd with little work
or trouble to him and at the cost OF
about one dollar per COW.
The tester weighs and samples the
milk OF each COW at the evening va

| duties of a tester is to weigh and keep
a record of food consumed by the
cows. The cos to the dairyman for
complete testing varies from so cents
to $3.50 a year for each COW This
variation is due to the number OF
cows in the associations and to the
size of individual herds.
The first association in the United

Mich, In 1905. This association had
81 members. and 239 cows completed
the first years test. Since that time
similar associations have been organ

dairy states of the Union. to the great
advantage Of dairymen everywhere.

WEAVING LITTLE PIGS
May Be Done at Eight Weeks Of
AGE When Desired.
Sow Two Years Old Should Produce
Two Litters Yearly Without Any
Trouble-Give Feeds Condu-
Give to Best MIX Flow.

BY JOHN c. BURNS, Texas Expert
ment Station.)
AS a general rule, WI find 1t advis-
able to wean pigs at about ten weeks
of age. In the case Of the especially
thrifty, well-developed pigs. and
when 1t is desired to breed the SOW
as early as possible again, pigs may
be weaned at eight weeks old with
good results. AS a rule, we do not
consider it advisable to have a SOW
farrow before she is twelve months
old. Or, in other words. 1t is gen.
orally considered best not to breed
them until they are between eight
and nine months old. Breeding too
early often has the tendency to check
the growth Of the gilt and sometimes
the effects are permanent.
Fourteen or fifteen hours labor in
bringing pigs is longer than ordinary,
and would naturally be weakening on
a young gilt. After weaving the litter
your gilt has. | would advise not
breeding her until she Is about fifteen
or sixteen months old. She would thus
have a chance to mend up n
grow some and would bring you
a better litter. After reaching W
years old any brood SOW should bring
two litters without any trouble.
Turnips, mangel-wurzels and all
such %succulent feeds are good for
sows sucking pigs, as they are con-
ducive to good milk flow. Whip-poor-
will peas have good results as a for
age crop for all kinds OF hogs. and
especially brood sows and growing
pigs. Ordinarily 1t Is best to let hogs
Craze them and thus ave the labor
of harvesting. 1t is best to Craze
the peas when the fruit is fully devel-
oped, but the vines still green, as in
this case much of the vines as well as
the peas will be consumed.
Rather han to feed straight corn,
It would be best for you to dispose OF
some OF it at n dollar per bushel,
and in return get wheat shorts. Good.
rich gray wheat shorts are costing
here at retail about $l.25 per 100
pounds. Equal parts OF corn and
wheat shorts will give a very well bal
anced ration. About the only advan-
tage in having corn ground for hogs
Is that 1t can more readily be mixed
with other feeds in connection with 1t.

HERE TO STAY.

The following is quoted from a letter
written by Senator Moses e. Clapp OF
Minnesota to George w. Perkins, chair
man of the Progressive national COM
mittee: THE prohibition movement to-
day differs from that movement In
other times. When you and ! were
boys, every spring there was seen a
temperance agitation and everybody
took the pledge. Some kept 1t and
some did not. The present movement
is entirely different. There is no hys-
terra or excitement about it. 1t is
simply a calm, deliberate judgment on
the part of the American people. from
the man who employs to the man who
is employed, hat the saloon is a men
ace. Having come in this quiet way,
free from hysteria and excitement, and
as q result of deliberate judgment, l
am inclined to think 1t is here to stay,
and IL times are good, is liable to be
more of a factor than w sometimes
suppose"

IN RUSSIA.

IN RUSSIA.
From July to December there were
recorded in Petrograd In 1913 ninety.
seven suicides, but in 1914 only four
teen. The same phenomenon was OBJ
served in Warsaw, where during the
first half of 1914 there were recorded
419 suicides, and during the second
half only 205. The reduction Of the
number Of small loans made by the
pawnshops. and the increase Of the
deposits In the savings banks. were
among the further gratifying results
Of temperance. For the first two
months OF 1915 the savings banks OF
Petrograd received deposits exceed
ing the figures for the corresponding
months of. 1914 by one and a half
million rubles (G150,000), while
throughout Russia the quantity Of de-
posits increased by a hundred billior

NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.
Major Dan Morgan Smith was for
four years general counsel for the
liquor organization known as the
Model License league. The following
paragraphs from an address OF his
shows why he threw up that position
and is now speaking and working for
prohibition.
For four years I advocated the pas
sage Of a model license law as a
means OF lessening the evils of drink.
AS the head of the law department OF
one Of the three largest liquor asso-
Citations in America, l maintained that
its passage would take the liquor
dealers out OF politics and the law
breakers out Of the liquor business.
WAS l wrong? l shall never
know, for the liquor crowd were pay
ing me to talk reform and paying 9TH
ers to defeat reform!
THE model license law was effec-
tive as a v%ote-getter. but 1t never
one reform, for, although advocated in
every fight against prohibition IN ne
last six years. 1t has never been en-
acted in any place. Its advocacy has
fooled more decent people into voting
with the liquor crowd than all the spe-
cious nonsense about taxes and per-
sonal liberty put together. Can we
expect laws from the liquor camp
that will eliminate the dive, or lessen
drunkenness or stop the sale Of liquor
to minors? Can we expect brewery
agents to pass laws that will take
away the license Of brewery-owned
saloons? Can we expect Legislators,
nominated and elected by the brewery
interests. to pass laws that will take
the liquor business out of politics?
No. the only thing we caa expect from
the liquor people is just what we have
received in the past-lying promises.

CLARK FAILS TO ACT
Speaker Does Not Name House Mem.
bers of Committee to Look
Into Fiscal Relations.

Contrary to the expectations of many
persons. no announcement was made by
Speaker Clark before the final adjourn
ment of the House today of the names
of the House members of the Joint COM
mittee which will investigate the fiscal
relations between the United States and
the District of Columbia. Further
more, members very much interested IN
the proposed committee were unable to
obtain an inkling of what the Speak
er's appointment would be. One OF
the reasons for the failure to announce
the membership has been the vast
amount of business before the House in
the last few days. and the necessity of
the Speaker attending personally to
much of it.
He was asked about the committee
Immediately after the gavel had fallen
on the close of the session. and he re-
piled:
II intend to appoint tho members of
the committee, but l will not say any
thing about it to anybody until l have
made up my mind on the subject.
Speaker Clark left his office at the
Capitol within an hour after the ad-
journment Of the House and did not
indicate that he intended to return
or to mako any announcement as to
the committee.

RELIEVED OF ITS DEBT,
Congress Act Aids East Washington
Traction Railroad COMPANY.

Congress. by an amendment to the
general deficiency bill. has relieved the
East Washington Heights Traction
Railroad Company of its Indebtedness
to the District of Columbia The diff
ference between the railroad and the
District of Columbia arose from the
use of Pennsylvania Avenue bridge by
the railroad
Instead of being compelled to pay
half the expenses of maintenance of
the bridge, which amounts to about
$4,000 a year. the road will hereafter
pay $500 year for the use of the same.
After the Havemeyer interest failed
to secure a franchise for crossing the
bridge. Col. Arthur E. Randle, who was
developing Randle Highlands, secured
the necessary authority to cross the
bridge with electric cars. The Senate
stipulated that the railroad should pay
one-half the cost of maintaining the
bridge.
This expense, being more than the
railroad could meet, Congress was
urged by Col. Randle to relieve the
railroad of the burden.
Col. Randle said today that this road
has the unique distinction of having it's
debts wiped out by act of Congress,
which puts it In a healthy condition.
