DISPOSE OF DEAD CHICKENS
Lie About Premises Is Poor One
Burning Is Best.

The practice of allowing dead
chickens TO lie about the premises OF
in the brooders and of throwing them
over the fence for the hogs to eat, are
decidedly bad, and directly responsible
for large losses each year by causing
and distributing disease, writes NJ. ii.
Becker in Farm and Home.
Burning is the safest and easiest
method for disposing of dead fowls.
The coal-burning brooder stoves VIII
take care of any losses among small
flocks and where considerable num-
bers of fowls nre kept small laundry
stove or alright heater set up in the
feed house or tool room will prove
very satisfactory.

are sold at market prices. The male
at the head of the flock should by all
means be purebred of the best type
obtainable. The male is one-half the
entire flock, and by continually select
ing the best females of similar type
and mating these with a purebred
male, one can soon have flock of uni
formly large, early-maturing, strong
boned, long and deep-bodied turkeys Of
the same color.
Fifteen turkey hens can safely be
mated to vigorous tom. If % or 30
hens are kept, two toms should not be
allowed to run with them at the same
time, but one should be confined one
day and the other the next. When
two toms are allowed to run together
during the mating season they fight
badly and the stronger does practically
all of the mating.

MOST PROFITABLE SIDE LINE
Cost Of Raising Turkeys Is Small
Where Free Range Can Be Given
Some important Factors.

For those who are favorably situ-
ited for raising turkeys. more profit
able side line can hardly be found.
Given plenty of range where the tur-
keys can find grasshoppers and other
insects, green vegetation, the seeds of
weeds and grasses, waste grain, acorns
and nuts of various kinds, the cost of
raising them Is very small and the
profits large. Grain and stock farms
are particularly well adapted to turkey
raising. and ii is on such farms that
most of the turkeys are found. Little
has ever been done in the way of rails
Ing turkeys in confinement and where
ii has been tried the results have been
liscouraging. Plenty Of range is es-
sential to success in turkey raising.
In selecting turkeys for breeding,
the most important factors to be con-
sidered are vigor, size, shape, bone,
early maturity and color of plumage.
The body should be deep and wide, the
back broad and the breast round and
full. The head should be of good size
and of a clean, healthy appearance. a
strong, well-made skeleton is shown
by thick, sturdy shanks and straight
strong toes. 1t should be the aim of
every turkey raiser to have flock OF
purebred turkeys, even though they

Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear OF COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 10
or so years of age. This fatal work Is
usually attributed = the fidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri-
Gus the poisons passing thru the kid

1t Is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work OF the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
Ing plenty of pure water all day long
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia

fornia, the interstate commerce
commission has issued an. order
which permits travellers from the
east to visit California by way OF
Spokane, Seattle and Portland
without additional charge.
Heretofore it has cost $3.50
more for a trip to California via
Spokane than by the routes via
Denver, Ell Paso or New Orleans.
The state public service commits
sion of Washington filed a COM
plant against this charge with
the interstate commerce commits
sin, which has directed that the
railroads cease demanding or par
ticipating in all-year excursion
fares or summer tourist fares
from Chicago to San Francisco,
applicable in either direction by
way Of the northwest, in excess
Of the corresponding fares by
way Of New Orleans or FL PasO.
Northwestern business men hail
the ruling with delight, as they
declare the arbitrary" q charge
has proved a serious handicap to
the full development Of the north
Pacific states. Plans already are
being made for the cities of this
section to combine in an energetic
campaign to induce tourists to
visit here during their See
America First trips. They
have organized the Pacific North
west Tourist Association, and are
seeking appropriations from the
states of Washington and Oregon
and the province of British Co.
lumbia with which to advertise
this section as the summer play
ground for tourists.
A bill for the determination of
the right regulation and use of
the water of the state Of Wash
ington, drawn to eliminate the long
persisting conflict between water
users and those who have insisted
upon full riparian rights, in the
sense OF acquiring rights in a
stream and preventing. it's use, is
now being circulated among news
papers, interested citizens and
public officials.
The keynote Of the bill is that a
man must use the water to which
he claims a right in order to re-
tain it. Use is held to be the es-
sence Of the property owners
right in a stream, and this right
he will ultimately lose if he does
not use the water. If enacted
into law the bill will prevent a
person from acquiring riparian
right and holding it purely for
speculation.
This water code was adopted
by the water code conference
called by Governor Lister at Ia
coma, July II and 12, 1916, and
adjourned to North Yakima No
vember Is, 1916. The conference
was representative of the follow
ing interests: Water power com
panies; water users associations; !;
irrigation districts and companies;
state bankers association clear
ing house associations; state bar
association; railroad companies;
chambers Of commerce and com
mercial bodies; state higher edu-
cational institutions; civil, hy-
draulic and electrical engineering
associations and cities and towns
OF the state.
The principal contest in the
conference was between the ri
parian rights representatives and
the irrigationists. This conflict
is disposed Of by sections "A and
45 Of the water code, which fixes
a limit of time within which a
person claiming riparian rights
must exercise them.
