PREVENTING BLACK HEAD.

College Park, April 12.-Growers of
young turkeys will be interested in
the recommendations made by Poul
tryman Roy H. Waite of the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station re-
garding the prevention of black head.
Mr. Waite says:
Under natural conditions turkeys
pick their feed little at time, work
ing most of the day to get enough to
sustain their bodies. Their digestive
organs have become adapted to this
means of feeding.
However, when man attempted to
domesticate the turkey he seemed to
ignore this fact and tried to raise
turkeys under the same condition as
fowls. He did not seem to take in
consideration the fact that fowls had
had gradually become accustomed to
the artificial conditions.
when one feeds the turkey but two
or three times a day 1t makes it
necessary for them to gorge them.
selves If they are to get enough to
sustain their bodies. This shocks and
de-arranges their system and makes
them susceptible to the so-called black
head disease, especially the young
ones.
There seems to be no medicine that
do any good in the case of black
.lcads and the treatment now recon.
mended by the Rhode Island Expert.
ment Station which has been working
on this disease for years. is to feed
a rather restricted ration according
to fixed schedule. The idea is to
prevent the disease rather than cure
it,
"The principle to re remembered is
to feed the young turkeys very spar.
niRgly and feed them often. This is
bre like natures method and the
Young turkeys are able to handle their
feed better when given this way"

Self Training ls Best, Says Armour.

In the American Magazine is an arti-
Gle by ]. o. Armour entitled Armour
Men Who Got Ahead-and Why" in
which Mr.. Armour gives his opinion Of
the qualifications that make for bust
ness success.
Zone of the truest axioms | know"
he says, sis the business saying that
the best trained man is the self train
ed man. 1t is my belief that no man
developed by a formula in business
organization can ever reach the power
of one who is put on his own response
bility, knowing that his advancement
depends Oil his own brains, foresight
and application.
"By this / do not mean that a, busi-
ness leader should let his men go'along
bindly. He must always give some
thing of himself. He must teach them
the overland and crawl strokes where
they knew only the l,reast stroke be-
fore. But in any Office organization
the man who has never had to stand
squarely on his own feet is never in a
position to march ahead"

EVILS or ADENoIDS.
These Growths Are Real Menace t.
the Health of a Child.

Not every child that is backward at
school, that breathes through his
mouth, has dull eyes, short upper lip,
prominent upper teeth or has a drawn,
tired expression about the face has
adenoids, says a state board Of health
bulletin. But this condition should lead
a parent to suspect adenoid growth,
and it should not be dismissed till a
thorough examination has proved that
such is not the case.
AdenoidS are small, soft, reddish
growth which comes in the back part
Of the throat where the nose and throat

uuent colds and may have earache Of
ten or become deaf. 1t is not infre-
ouent that adenoids dull the expression
of the eye, destroy the resonance OF
the voice and distort the facial express
sion so as to produce blank, idiot1c
stare. They hinder mental develop
ment by interfering with oper physi-
cal development. For that reason re
peaters" at school are frequently said
to be afflicted with adenoids.
The best time to remove adenoids is
when they are first recognizable to a
physician. If they remain longer they
do harm. They cause child to have
"colds" often and make him more sus,
ceptible to diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and whooping cough. Further
more, if he gets any Of these diseases
they are likely to be severe with him
and leave him even worse afflicted.
Cold. fresh air breathed through the
nose is needed to prevent adenoid
growth. 1t is needed also to prevent
adenoids returning after all operation.
Fresh air taken in through the nose
prevents as we'll as cures adenoids.

comnIaint of the Stunid.

1t is only stupid people who complain
that they are misunderstood. If they
were not stupid they would know that
there is absolutely no such thing as be-
ing misunderstood. and therefore that
there is nothing whatsoever to be gain
ed by complaining about it.
Wise people who want to be under
stood do not spend their time COM
planning, but in perfecting some means
of expressing themselves by which
they may reveal to the world about
them some slight remnant, at least, OF
their souls or their minds or their ideas
or their discoveries or their eccentrici-
ties or whatever it is they want to
make known.
When You complain about not being
understood the only thing you make
clear is that you are a complainer.-

What The Farmer Thought.

Well what do you think of the
outlook? ?" This is what we asked a
farmer who was hustling along the
street Tuesday morning with an arm
full of bundles, to hurry home in his
milk wagon and get to plowing.
What do l Think" he snorted. Il
think if we had all the experts who
are being appointed on advisory
boards and agricultural committees
and could have them to help us work
instead of telling us what to do,
there would be an extra man for
each farm, and believe me I would
put one of them in a job where 1
would soon find out whether he
knew what he is talking about.
There's too many wind TANNERS and
not enough workers in this country.
That's what's the matter with Han
nah" And the farmer lammed the

WHEN THE TIME COMES

The best methods of soil man.
agement are those which make
1t possible to utilize the nitro
gen of the air through legumes
and the insoluble plant food of
the soil by making it slowly
available during the growing
season. When it is either i'm
possible or impractical to fur
nish from these sources suffi-
cient plantfood for crop pro-
duction, 1t becomes desirable to
make use of an additional
amount in commercial form. In
the case of virgin soils large
crops usually are secured with
out applying any fertllizing ma
terial whatever. But under such
treatment the richest lands soon
decrease in productiveness. Re-
course is then had to clover and
farm manure to check decreas-
ing crop yields. However,
time inevitably comes when
the resources of the farm are
not sufficient to furnish the prop
er amount of plantfood for
most profitable crop production.
1t Is then that the application of
commercial fertilizers becomes
desirable and necessary, If a

lty Is to be coupled with profit

Why Constipation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed
into the system, making you feel
dull and stupid. and interfering with
the digestion and assimilation OF
food. This condition is quickly re-
lieved by Chamberlain's Tablets.
Obtainable everywhere.
