Breeding Stock.
As to the best age for breeding stock.
most turkey breeders prefer to mate a
vigorous, well grown young tom cock
ereD with early hatched young hens
pullets) or with yearling hens. Early
patched turkeys are In most cases suf-
f1oiently mature to be used as breeders
their first season, but In no case should
late Matched or slow growing birds be
kept for breeders. An excellent plan
Is to keep as breeders each year one
bali yearling hens and one-hah early
Matched pullets and mate them with
well developed and vigorous early
Matched cockerel Yearling toms can
be used If desired, but owing to their
greater weight and clumsiness they are
liable to nJure the hens Should a
yearling or older tom be used care
should be taken to pare off the spurs
and file the sharp points from the nails.
After the third year the egg production
Of turkey hens begins to fall of, and it
is advisable to replace them with
younger stock.
The most satisfactory time of year to
select breeding stock is November or
December. By purchasing early In the
season one not only has larger num-
Der to choose from. but the birds are
given ample time to become acquainted
with their new surroundings before
the mating season, which In the south
ordinarily begins early In February
and In the north about month later.

A CAR or RUSSIA
Eccentric Alexander H., Who
Gave Freedom to the Serfs.
AND THEN CRUSHED POLAND.

Out Of the Reform He Started by the
Liberation Of the Masses Grew the
NihIlist Movement, Which Brought
About His Own Death by Bomb.
It is curious fact, says the Kansas
City Star, that one of the greatest re-
forms that ever came to Russia-the
liberation of the serfs In 1S61-came
through Alexander H., man educated
under the Prussian military system
Born In 1918, the son Of sternly au-
tocratic father, growing up In an at
mosphere in which 1t was looked upon
as treason TO criticise the corner police
man since he was a representative OF
the government, Alexander persisted
In cherishing an interest In all sorts OF
humble people.
He came to the throne in 1855, when
Russia was loundering waist deep IN
the Crimean war. Russia was defeated
and demoralized, and it was an unusu-
ally suspicious time for men with re-
form IDEAS to get hearing. Peace
was made at the end Of year and
new laws passed encouraging industry
and commerce. Plans were laid for an
extensive railway system partly to de-
velop the natural resources of the
country and partly to increase its mill
taFy efficiency.
Then IN 1853 Alexander received
petition from certain great landowners
tn Lithuanta praying for more salts
factory adjustment Of relations be-
tween themselves and their serfs. The
czaP replied with lavish praises Of their
public spirit and assumed that what
they wanted to do was to improve the
condition Of the serfs, which In point
Of fact was not true at all. Their peti-
ton had given him an opening.
Without consulting his ministers the
car caused copies OF his instructions
to the governor general Of Lithuania to
be forwarded to the governors Of all the
other Russian provinces, suggesting
that the landowners Of their provinces
might also care to consider emancipa-
ton Of the serfs. Local committees
weD4 20 work on the subject.
There were m Russia at this time
scope 28,OOOO00 serfs, slaves OF the
sofl They could not be sold sway
from the land on which they were
born, but IN all other respects their
bondage was virtually complete. The
car set the ball rolling by freeing the
100000 serfs on the imperial estates.
The abolition of serfdom was inevita-
BILE, but the landowners tried to stave
Il OF as far as possible. They submit
ted a plan for making the serfs agri-
cultural laborers, entirely dependent
upon them economically. The car re-
fused to accept 1t. II the serfs we're
really to be free be decided they must
be able to own land. A state loan,
payable annually at per cent for for
ty-nine years, enabled the former serfs
to buy certain share Of farm land Of
Russia and become peasant proprie-
tors. The land was held by the village
communities and by them apportioned
to their members. The ukase freeing
the serfs was published March 8, 1861.
Hope famed very high In Russia at
that time, and men Of the more vision
airy sort looked forward to an imme-
diate Utopia. They were disappointed,
Of course, and they found that freeing
the serfs did not cure all the Ills to

HARDY WHEAT STRAIN.

Marketing Turkeys.
The marketing season for turkeys Is
very short, running from the middle Of
November to the latter part Of Deem
Der. Most turkey raisers sell their
birds alive to poultry dealers, who Ell
Their dress them or ship them alive to
city dealers. Farmers near the city
markets and particularly those in the
middle Atlantic and New England
states often dress the turkeys and Ell
Their sell them direct to the consumer
OF to city dealers. In some sections
shortly before Thanksgiving there is
held what is known as turkey day. On
the day before this event every turkey
grower III the neighborhood kills and
dresses his turkeys and the following
morning brings them into town, where
they are bid on and purchased by what
ever buyers choose to be there. the
birds going to the highest bidder.
In sections In which turkeys are
grown in large numbers, as in Texas,
dressing plants have been built by
poultry dealers, who buy the birds alive
and dress them for the various city
markets. In such cases practically all
the turkey raisers sell to these dealers,
who often send buyers out into the
country to gather up drove of several
hundred birds by stopping at each farm
as they pass, weighing whatever tur-
keys the farmer may have to sell, and
adding them to those already collected.

be on skimmilk diet at the end Of
eighteen to twenty-one days.
Milk Of even temperature should be
fed. about 90 degrees Fahrenheit is
right.
Grain should not be fed with the
milk. except possibly small amount of
rnseed oil meal or dried blood.

ter bran, a quarter linseed oil meal and
q quarter cornmeal is a good grain
mixture for a calf. Keep fresh grain
before the calf and a fine quality of
hay. Rowen is excellent
Calves should not be allowed to suck
one another. Tie them up with ropes
or else put in stanchions.
There are on the market several stock
preparations called milk substitutes.
These are supposed to take the place Of
milk entirely after the sixth or seventh
day. Directions for using these come on
the bag. These substitutes will grow a
calf. but 1t can hardly be said of them
that they take the place of milk. They
result in higher cost for growing the
calf because Of the high price Of the
feed and extra labor involved. Calves
raised on such substitutes never look as
thrifty as those raised on milk Where
one has milk it would not be advisable
to use calf meals. II there Is no milk
one has no choice.
Heifer calves should be kept growing
all the time. Calves in the summer
should be provided with q grass pasture
with shade and some escape from the
flies. Skimmilk might well be contin-
ued until the calf is Eve or six months
Of age.
