SUGGESTIONS ON turkey CARE AND Eco

The coop should have board floor
and both coop and run should be
moved to fresh ground not less than
once a week, and more often If neces-
sary.
Feed for PouIts.
Feed the poults when they are
placed in the coop a mixture Of eduRl
parts of hard-boiled eggs, rolled oats
and dry bread crumbs. Cut the eggs
fine and make the mixture crumbly.
Feed five times daily. Give clabbered
milk or cottage cheese. Soak light
bread In sour skim milk and squeeze
dry. Alternate this with the egg mix
ture. Twice a week feed finely chopped
cooked liver or waste meat, as much
as they viii clean up quickly, After
the second week scatter a mixture Of
chick feed or cracked wheat twice
daily.
1t is important to provide an
abundance of fresh water, clean grit
and suceulent green food. AS soon
as the poults jump over the Pinch
boards allow them free range. They
need exercise on a clean range to OBJ
tain flies, grasshoppers, grubs and

AVOID LIVE STOCK DISEASES
Better to Prevent Than Attempts to
Cure Dlsorders-Be Careful in
Feeding Animals.

Once hog has cholera, all the "doc-
toring" in the world Is not likely to
do much good but If the proper sani-
tary precautions had been observed
and the herd inoculated on the appear
ance Of cholera in the neighborhood,
In all probability the hog would never
have contracted the disease. Careless
ness in feeding or watering may give
rise to troubles that will temporarily
or even permanently impair the useful
ness of an animal; barb-wire cut.
unattended to, may become infected
and ruin fine horse.
And so, In dealing with livestock
diseases. prevention is the great thing
to seek. Few diseases in men or ami
mails are really "cured" by medicines !.
but proper feed and care and SANTA
ton. killing the germ before it has a
chance to get in Its deadly work, have
saved millions of liyes.-The Progress

worms, and the seeds that are provid-
ed by nature in order to develop a
healthy constitution.
Little turkeys require more animal
food than baby chicks, and hard
boiled eggs, buttermllk and cooked
liver are the best substitutes for flies
and bugs. Dry cornmeal swells in
their crops, ferments and kills more
poults than all other foods combined.
Young turkeys need foods to develop
big frame and large organs eggs,
milk, and meat will do this. but corn,
sorghum seed or grain of any kind fed
to excess will kill them every time.
Feed and Range.
Do not leave food on the ground
to sour or mold. Remove what is not
eaten. After two weeks let the hen
take the poults and range; see that
she returns to the coop at night. Keep
the hen and pOults free Of lice by
greasing and busting them with yellow
insect powder. Molsten the head, I'M
der the wings and around the vent
with a little cOttonseed OIL. Do not
permit poults to run on ground that
chickens or pigs have made filthy.
Pillow up such ground, or fence 1t in.
The turkey hen may be profitably
used as a mother when she has laid
out her second clutch Of eggs, as she
rarely lays a third. Call the hens
home to roost by feeding them the
mixture Of cracked corn, wheat and
cowpeas every night.
Further information In reference to
turkeys can be obtained from the ex-
tension division Of Clemson college.

kept active and ready to forage at all
times, and where there are plenty Of
bugs on the range the dry mash is
really unnecessary.
Nesting Places.
To induce turkey hens to lay near
home, provide nests of loose straw In
empty barrels laid on the side, or in
dry weather make nests Of leaves and
straw In secluded places and cover the
place loosely with branches. From II
to 20 eggs are laid at clutch, and
one service 'fertillzes all. Gather these
eggs as fast as laid and replace them
with a couple of china or hard-bolled
hens eggs. Keep the eggs In cool
place not to exceed ten days before
setting them under common hen.
Select a fat, broody hen, as she must
st from 20 to 30 days before the eggs
hatch. Grease her as recommended in
bulletin 16, Poultry Culture for South
Carolina" to kill the lice. Make earth
nests. Immerse the eggs in water
warm to the hand (106 degrees) for
two minutes on the eighteenth and
twenty-fifth days. Remove the poults
from the nest to a warm basket as
soon as they become dry and strong,
SO that the hen will remain on the
nest until the Matching is completed.
Feed and water the hen and let her
move about for a short time.
Then take mother and poults to
large-sized packing box, covered with
roofing paper, with laths two and one
half inches apart in front In front Of
the coop inclose a grass plot six feet
square with boards II inches wide to
prevent the poults wandering away.

FAIRNESS TO TAxPAYERs.

A Muncie (Ind.) judge the other day
made the novel ruling that man not
only has right to lie down In the sa-
loon where he becomes intoxicated but
that 1t is his duty to do so instead Of
going to some other place. The vic
tim in the case had explained to the
judge that after drinking at the bar
he felt the drunken stupor coming on
and SO hurried to the Jail, only a block
away, and gave himself up, because he
did not suppose the saloonkeeper
would permit him to sleep off his in
toxication on his premises. $50 you
thought you'd go to the Jail and let
the taxpayers take care of you"
queried the court. "The next time you
get drunk want you to lie down right
there in the saloon and not become a
public expense"

VELVET BEAN MEAL FOR cows
Florida Station Finds Ration Almost
EQUAL to Cottonseed Meal--Much
Cheaper TO Grow.

The Florida station found that cows
produced as much milk when fed a
ration Of AS pounds of velvet beans
in the pod, 10 pounds wheat bran and
24.5 pounds Japanese cane silage as
when given a ration OF pounds cot
tonseed meal, 10 pounds bran, and "a
pounds cane silage. Hence 4.3 pounds
Of velvet beans in the pod were fully
equal to 8 pounds of cottonseed real.
The average Southern farmer can pro-
duce about tons of velvet beans
for the cost of / ton Of cottonseed
meal.
1t is reported that velvet beans in
the pod can be produced at $14 per
ton in Alabama and in Georgia.

LIouoR BUSINESS ANp LABOR.

"The average workingman fears be.
ing out Of job more than he does
going to hell, and the liquor interests
have capitalized on this fear" said
Rev. Charles Sickle before the Fed
eral Council of Churches. And he
pointed out that;
IF the money now invested in the
liquor business were invested in the
average American industry it would
give employment to four times as
many workingmen, who collectively
would receive four times as much in
the form of wages, and four times as
much raw material would be required
than is now the case In the liquor BUSH
ness"
Mr.. Stelzle said that the number of
workingmen employed in the liquor
business has been greatly exaggerated.
The liquor interests purchase annually
only about an average of $40 worth of
produce from each farmer in the Unit
ed States.

the activities of the board for the past
two years, reviews the conditions Of
all of the state, county and city, char
liable and correctional Institutions; It
shows their actual conditions, their
progress and needs. 1t also touches
upon conditions existing in private in

tions pertaining to those which should
have the serious consideration of the

The report recommends the crea.
ton Of children's bureau; the regis

in private homes by private agencies;
recommends state institutional care
for the feeblesminded and epileptic
children; additional room and appro-
priations for the boys reformatory
and industrial school; the removal Of
insane from county poorhouses to
state hospitals; the supervision of
private charities; licensing of all pri,

ty institutions; recommends q hos.
pital for the criminal insane; a state
alienist; additional buildings for state
hospitals; increase of medical and
nursing staffs for these hospitals. It
also asks for adequate appropriation
to carry on its work.
The board has been active in seek.

schools, etc. AS to jails, it reports
that quite few counties have built
modern new jails, many have made
material repairs, and there has been

tenn and recommends its adjustment.
1t condemns the practice of throwing
children Of tender years in the jails
with crime-hardened criminals; it rec
ommends that prisoners be given EN-,
ployment while lying in county jails
awaiting trial, declaring that under
the present system, the Jail is nothing
short of school of crime and has the
tendency to utterly demoralize rather
than to reform a prisoner. The report
shows that more than 1900 persons
have been confined in the various
county jails of the state during 1916.
1t gives the average jail population
to be about 1900.

BoozER MUST GO.

80 EA9R W.
Employers liability laws in the diff
eferent states haye been an important
factor in bringing about the present at
tiude of the business world toward
liquor. Corporation managers, inyesti-
eating the causes of accidents in mill
and factory, on railroad and waterway,
found large proportion directly due
to the drink habit. Hence the reason
for the famous rule G" of the Ameri-
can Railroad association and the total
abstinence requirements Of big bust
ness generally.
In line with this comes the Michigan
Workmen's Compensation Mutual Of
Detroit, which, we learn from the West
ern Underwater, an insurance journal,
has sent its members a circular letter
on the booze question. We quote:
1.-THE careful consideration of all
moral hazards involved under the COM
pensation law reveals the fact that
booze is the biggest.
"Booze is so insidious in its work
ings that even though an employee may
not be actually under the influence Of
liquor at the time Of an injury, a very
large percentage Of all injuries are
either directly or indirectly due to the
drinking of liquor.
Therefore, we are earnestly recon-
mendlng to all Of our members that
the service of the booze fighter,
whether he drink much or little, be
dispensed with as promptly as possible,
providing he cannot be made to see
the error of his ways and become an
abstainer."

There is no use to try to smooth

term notes to take care of million
dollar deficit.
