 Moose is actively engaged just now in perfecting every detail of the ar engagements for the best program of sports that has ever been carried out on any July celebration in the his
 tory of the Salt River valley. James r. Blanton, chairman of the veterans sports committee. and pr. L. Boido, chairman of the Moose sports com mittee. are in daily conference re- garding the various events that will go to fill in the entire afternoon of July ] at Riverside Park
 The Republican has already pre- sented the complete sports program. announced the various prizes offered for the individual events and has giv- en the names of the donors of these prizes. A glance at the list will con vince even the most skeptical that the business men of Phoenix appre- ciate the full significance of this par ticular celebration and have not been slow to respond when the representa- tives of the Spanish War veterans and of the Loyal Order of Moose have called upon them. Practically all of the business houses of Phoenix are represented in the list of those put ting up prizes for the long list of water and track events.
 The general committee of the Moose has completed practically every ar rangement for good. old-fashioned features to entertain the vast crowds certain to be at Riverside from the time the parade disbands in the fore noon until the park is finally closed for the night.

as fresh ones, and turkey eggs cost
anywhere from % cents to 81 each.
The Mammoth Bronze is very
large and beautiful bird of the color
the name implies. We have raised the
Bronze for a number of years, and
find this breed possesses more good
points than any one of the others we
have known Of
The Bronze Is more vigorous and
therefore less difficult to raise than
the White Holland or Narragansett.
The latter is about as large In ap-
pearance as the Bronze, but Is some
what lighter in weight.
The White Holland and Bourbon are
becoming more popular than formerly.
on account of their domestic habits.
They are rather small in size and
quite tame in habit, preferring to stay
close at home.
When buying breeding stock 1t Is
best to secure the male bird from one
breeder and the females from another,
so that the birds will not be akin.
Turkeys selected at random from a
dealers flock may or may not be re-
lated, but 1t is not safe to take chances.
Inbreeding is disastrous with tur-
keys. Do not keep more than six
hens with gobbler, unless he is an
old one.
We find that two-year-old hens with
yearling tom produce finer turkeys
than young hens. Never keep young
hens with an old male bird.
If the hens and gobblers are both
young the eggs will seldom hatch well.
and the poults are less vigorous than
If one or the other is more mature.
Turkeys should not be crossed.

By ANNA GALIGHER)


If the turkey business was failure
with you this year don't get discour-
aged and quit. Instead, use your bet
ter judgment and try again. If you
have never raised turkeys now is a
good time to begin.
Turkeys are difficult to raise, as we
know by long experience, but with
good care and the right kind of feed
we have managed to raise good per-
centage of those Matched.
Just now we are having some
trouble with ours because of our in
ability to keep them out of neigh
boris rye field. Several have died, two
more are sick. The rye causes bowel
trouble, which Is not unlike cholera
After we discovered the cause of the
keys in yard This was not sue
cess. They began. to droop and re-
fused to eat; just as we expected, for
turkey cannot endure confinement.
The sick ones were given little
epson salts in their feed and two re-
covered. We tried several different
remedies, but none of the others
seemed to take any effect.
We do not consider rye suitable food
for any kind of poultry, young or old.
Green rye (not the grain) is as good
for all kinds Of fowls as grass, and IL
grown early in the fall will furnish
green food for the poultry all winter.
This is its only redeeming point.
Now is the time to buy the stock
for next year. 1t Is better to purchase
turkeys, even at the present unheard-
of prices, than to wait until next
spring and depend upon eggs.
Shipped eggs seldom hatch as well

seeded kafir corn.
Summer Fallow Facilities.
The use of the summer fallow great
ly facilitates excessive soil blowing in
sections where dangerous winds are
prevalent in the summer time, because
the land is left fully exposed. This
danger may be avoided to a cOnsid-
cradle extent by seeding rows of
coarse growing crops at intervals
across the fallow fields at right angles
to the direction of the prevailing
winds. Where the wind danger is es-
pecially great it might even be desir-
able to abandon the summer fallow
altogether, substituting for it legu-
minous crop which may be plowed
under in the fall. This practice has
the great advantage Of adding humus
to the soil, thereby not only increas-
ing it's fertility but also it's resistance
to wind action. The presence OF hui
mus is indeed one of the best protec-
lions against blowing, the presence Of
organic UOuloS Ill Iuc sui HICICdoiu
it's water-holding power and therefore
aiding in keeping the surface moist
The sandy trucking soils of the East
may nearly always be made naturally
resistant to wind action by the addi-
tion of humus through the systematic
planting of leguminous crops.
Another Protection Method.
Another method of protecting fields
is to plant rows of trees or bushes or
to build fences as windbreaks. This
is effective but apt to be expensive
not only because Of the actual cost
outlay involved but because Of the
amount of land which is left unpro-
ductive. For this reason the use of
such artificial windbreaks can hardly
be recommended for extensive agri-
culture, and is usually restricted to
the cultivation of fruits, garden vege-
tables, etc. Where windbreaks are
erected care should be taken to see
that they are composed Of trees or
bushes which do not harbor insect
pests and whose roots will not spread
out into the adjoining fields.

DUST BOXES FOR WINTER USE
One Of. Most Economical and conven-
lent Ways Of Keeping Fowls Free
From Al Kinds Of vermin.

The dust wallow is one of the mos
economical ways Of Kidding fowls of al
'nds of vermin, especially lice. II
for no other reason, this ought to be
sufficient to make it worth while te
have dust box in the poultry house.
Some appear to believe that fowls
kept free from lice can do without
dust wallow. In the first place there
are very few flocks of poultry, If any
entirely free from vermin, and in the
second place the fowls appear to en-
Joy taking a dust wallow. Remember
it takes a comfortable hen to be g
good layer. ~
In the spring and summer dust boxes
are unnecessary because the fowls car
enjoy outside dust wallows. In the
winter, however, dust boxes are neces
sary. A small box, say three feet
square, will nicely answer the purpose
of a dust box for flock of 80 or less
hens There are three common forms
CT dust boxes. One Is an ordinary box
placed in front of a south window, an.
Other is an especially constructed COW
cred box placed on the inside of the
house in front of a south window, and
the third Is the outside dust box, built
as lean-to on the south side OF the
house. A glass top makes it more
pleasant. The latter is the most desir-
able, because it Is out Of the way,
make, it possible to renew the busting
material from the outside, and has !
greater tendency to keep the dust out
o. the house although not entirely.
Then, too, thit form does not take up
valuable roor in the house which 1t
would in case it we're not placed on
legs up from the floor.
Dust boxes should always be located
l front of a south window. 1t is ad-
visable to cover them to prevent the
dust from being thrown all over the
interior of the house, to keep the fowls
from roosting in the same r on the
same.
Zone Of the best busting materials is
an equal mixture of fine sand, sifted
coal ashes and road dust, procured
during the summer from much trav-
eled highway. The proper depth Of a
dust box is about twelve inches. six
inches Of which should be filled with
busting material.

The best remedy, according to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, for the farmer who finds himself
confronted with difficulties of this sort
is to adopt system of crops which
will cover his, land with vegetation at
seasons when strong, dry winds are
most prevalent. The exact system
which the individual farmer should
follow depends, of course, upon the
climate, the available markets, and
other local factors. There are, how
ever, few general expedients which
it would be we'll for him to bear in
mind. For example, If fall blowing is
not necessary, the stubble of the last
crop should be left on the soil as late
as possible in the spring, or oats or
barley may be sown in the late sum!
mer or early fall The plants will be
killed by the frost and will form a
protective mat on the soil surface.
Another expedient Is to protect SLOW
growing crop from wind damage by a
nurse crop which, planted at the same
time, will grow more rapidly and
shield the former until it Is sufficiently
far advanced to take care Of itself. A
thin seeding of rye and barley used in
connection with alfalfa is a common
instance of this method. On dry lands,
however, where the scarcity of water
must be considered, this plan is open
to the objection that the nurse crop
deprives the soil of certain amount
- ia. Go
ers, therefore, prefer to introduce al
falfa and similar slow-starting crops
by drilling in the seed in high-cut stub.
