HOWTOFEED YOUNG TURKEYS
Thanksgiving and Christmas Markets
Are Not Far Away.
(By Richard N Crane, Division Of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee.)

(By Richard N. Crane, Division of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee,)
Young turkeys should be fed but fed
sparingly as soon as they are strong
enough to stand up and come out from
under the mother turkey.
They should be fed on the yolks Of
hard-boiled eggs for the first two or
three days, after which time their feed
should consist of equal parts of egg
Dread, cottage cheese and finely
chopped-up onion tops and onions.
For the first four or five weeks they
should be fed at regular intervals of
two or three hours, after which time
they should be allowed free range with
the mother turkey, and fed literally
every night on equal parts of wheat
and cracked corn.
In order to develop the best turkeys
for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
markets they should be fed daily, the
preferable time being late in the eve
ming. This will cause them to come
up close to the buildings to roost,
where they will be less liable to re
stolen or destroyed by yernin.

when vaccinating hogs against
cholera during the extremely warm
weather." says M. Jacob, state veter
marian, special consideration should
be given to the temperature readings.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
hogs temperature is very responsive
to external influences, and for that
reason DIR. Jacob urges that the virus
treatment be given during the cooler
part of the day, especially during the
early morning hours from a. m. to
8 a. m.
1t is not an uncommon occurrence
when hogs have been held in small
Enclosure, without any protection from
the heat, to find temperatures running
three or four degrees above normal,
even though hog cholera infection
does not exist. Furthermore, in case
hog cholera infection does exist, one
cannot differentiate accurately be-
tween the high temperature due to
cholera and that due to weather or
some other external influence.

Churning should cease. when the
granules of butter are about the size
of large wheat grains. The butter milk
and wash water can be drained out
and the salt mixed uniformly through
out the butter. This is very i'm
portant step in making good butter.
If the butter is gathered in large
mass it is almost impossible to re-
move the buttermilk and wash water
from the butter, and to mix the salt
with it evenly.
Draw off the buttermilk, straining 1t
through a coarse strainer to catch any
particles Of butter that might escape,
and add as much water to the churn as
there was cream, and of about the
same temperature. ReyoIve the churn
not more than fifteen or twenty revo'
buttons and allow the water to drain
out thoroughly
Then salt and work the butter and
put it in neat packages, if it is to go
on the market.

Cotton Condition
is 75.S Per Cent.

Average condition OF the cotton
crop on July 25 was 1853 per cent
Of normal, according to reports OF
correspondents Of the Commercial
Appeal. This compares with the
government figures of 81.1 on
June 25 of this year, IS on July
Is, last year, and the ten-year
average of 1876.
The big loss in condition from
last month is largely due to recent
excessive rains east Of the
Mississippi river, where heavy
damage has resulted from almost
daily rains for about three weeks.
Fields are grassy as a result OF
inability to cultivate, and the
plant is weedy, full of sap and
fruiting poorly. In many low
lands the crop was almost if not
entirely destroyed. Boil weevil
activity has been encouraged by
the wet weather and the ravages
Of this pest have been added to
other damages,
West Of the river the crop has
done well, but some small loss
from last months high condition
is noted as a result of lack of
sufficient rainfull in some To-
calities, notably the heavy pro-
ducing section Of north-central
Texas. However, conditions in
the western half of the belt are
still good, with no damage to date
that favorable weather conditions
would not rectity. There is also
some complaint Of weevils in por.
tions of Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, but activity of this pest
has been retarded in this district
by hot, dry weather.

EAT GREEN VEGETABLES
AND FRESH FRUITS
Keep the Body Free From Acid Which
Causes Many Digestive Troubles
and Many Bad Teeth.

(By Geneva Conway, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
Why is it that many persons eat too
much meat and heavy vegetables and
forget about the green vegetables?
All starchy vegetables and cereals de-
velop acid in the system. Meats also
cause this acid condition. The green
vegetables and fruits form alkalies.
To keep the body in good condition.
one must have considerable alkali in
the system to overcome the acid.
Green vegetables also contain large
quantities of water and a great deal
of roughage. The eating of green
vegetables and fruits serves to get
water into the system. Green vege-
tables and fruits act as brooms to the
stomach and to the intestines-sweeps
them clean.
1t is believed that pellagra, that
dread disease, is developed through
the diet that is rich in starch and
proteins. The use of vegetables and
fruits, eggs and milk, is recommended.
The use Of much starch and fat is
not best.
Starchy vegetables are macaroniy
rice, hominy and potatoes. Potatoes
do not form an acid reaction-con,
trary to all rules. All cereals are in@
cluded in this group.
The predigested foods do not bring
into play all the digestive juices Of
the body, and some object to this sort
of food. However, if one has poor
cook or cook who does not know the
principle of preparing cereals, it Is
better to have these ready prepared
foods They will not cause undue
exertion upon the body.
1t is not question of how much
food one eats, but how much and what
kinds are actually digested and form.

Don't drive to town to buy your
clover seed in small lots. Arrange
with your neighbors to buy in large
quantities. Let each one who orders
deposit money with a local bank or
make arrangements with the banker
for loan. When all the money for
the orders has been deposited in the
bank or provision made for the
amount of the order, then let one Of
your number act as buyer.
If you will look around in your
county or will ask your county agent,
you can frequently find men who have.
excellent clover seed for SALE By
having the money in the bank the
seed can be bought at cash prices.
Because you and your neighbors go
together a considerable saving can
be made on account of the quantity
bought.

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER
WITH BARREL CHURN
A Good Product Requires Close Atten.
ton to Details-Stop Churning
at the Right Time.
(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)

The ordinary barrel churn is un-
questionably the best churn on the
market. There are no inside fixtures
to clean, flies can not get in, and it
will churn as quickly and efficiently
as any churn on the market. To get
best results, 1t should not be filled
more than one-third full. Beware of
the so-called "two-minute" churn. The
cream should be strained into the
churn through coarse strainer to re-
move any particles of curd. Add a
small amount of butter coloring to
give the butter a uniform color
throughout the year.

The Best CombaCk.

The November American Magazine
prints the prize-winning article in
the Come back" contest held by this
magazine. The writer says that a
man who was hopdessly crippled
made good in this way:
ION a hot day in summer he was
being pushed along in wheel chair
at a California beach resort. With
out money, without health and past
middle life, his chances for a new
start seemed slim. A man passing
on the street stopped at a root beer
stand and laid down five cents. He
was handed a foaming glassful. The
one-time fnancier saw that he look
ed hot and thirsty; that he lifted the
glass eagerly; that he sat it down
only half emptied, and walked away,
not with the look of one whose eX-
pectations of a cooling, satisfying
drink have been realized. The sick
man diagnosed the case briefly. An
other fellow trying to sell something
who doesn't understand his business
Later in the day he was again wheel
ed past the same stand. 1t was de-
serted. The invariable evening
ocean breeze had sprung up, and il
was too chilly to expect any more
sales that day.
Fortunately physical infirmity
cannot keep a man from using his
mind, nor suffering subdue the cour-
age OF one who knows the value of
an idea. From as small an event as
the sale of half-warm glass OF root
beer the man who had directed big
projects evolved and executed bus
mess schemes representing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, now
worked out a plan for the rebuild
ing of his fortune.
