Not that II would be an easy matter
to pick out the hardest-wprking bun

Hurley not only does things--you

As chairman OF the United States

the president put him In Office he
weighed his qualities. then called him
into conference and told him Just
what a big Job lay before him and
that he would be expected to go
through without hitch. Mr.. Hur-

he took the reins.

for young turkey is very tender and
will die if the chickens run over it.
1t is also necessary that turkeys get
all the insects they can, and If they are
near the chickens the large chickens
will eat all the bugs
The garden is good place to put the
coop for the mother for the first two or
three weeks. They will not harm any
thing and will eat the insects. Keep
the mother confined for several weeks,
then she may be turned out after the
dew is off. Move the coop every few
DAYS and sprinkle lime on the old place.
If more of the country women would
try this plan in raising turkeys they
would not only get pleasure out of it,
but would also receive a profit from it.
All my turkey hens lay three clutches
of eggs, and some of them lay five
clutches Sometimes my turkeys lay in

Christmas baking with turkey eggs.

an on the farm would try raising tur-
keys this year.

MY PLANS FOE RAISING TURKEYS.

As l have been helped. by the expert
ence of others raising turkeys want
TO tell some OF my own experiences. per-
haps it will help some one TO avoid the
mistakes 1 have made.
l feel like something important would
be left out if | should neglect to tell
some of the obstacles / had to over
come before l could get any of the
Bourbon Red turkeys.
only a few years has the Bourbon
Red turkey been raised and advertised.
1t is a Kentucky product a lady de-
scribed them in a northern farm paper
and l wrote her for prices on eggs, but
learned that she had booked all of the
orders for the eggs that she could fill.
However. she gave me the address of
lady who had a tom for sale and the
price was $40 for the tom. l had to
ask my husband for the needed money,
just as most women have to do.
He was terribly shocked and some
what offended TO learn that l wanted
to give $40 for only one turkey In
justice to him l must say that he was
not any more selfish than some other
husbands. While he refused to give
me the money. his opinion about the
turkey failed TO cause me to lose in
terest in the turkey. And l don't think
any one could be any more ignorant
about the poultry business than / was. SC
I wrote the lady to ship the tom G. o. d.
I knew my husband could not afford
not to take il out OF the express when
il came but the lady kindly informed
me she did not do business that way.
With air castles tumbling down and tine

fast disappearing. | sadly learned my
first lesson in the poultry business and
also about not having some money of
my own.
Time rolled on. I thought about tur-
keys, dreamed about turkeys. watched

find any but after several years the
long booked for day arrived and my
turkeys came. They were beauties to
me. | confined them in a pen for sew
eral days and fed them too much corn
and almost lost one OF them from indi-
gestion. Thus it was / learned my sec
ond lesson. Don't feed too much corn
when a turkey is confined. for il is nat
ural for them TO have plenty of exer-
else. I have put turkeys in close coops
to fatten for the table and they would
weigh less when / took them out OF
the coop than when / put them in.
To fatten a turkey give ii plenty OF
food: also give il the free range.

A CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
The distinguished Dr. Hoff, of Vicnna,
has made public a remedy for consump-
ton. 1t is the result of years of practi-
cal Investigation and is fortified by his
experience i'm the treatment of the dis
ease according to the formula he has
recently proclaimed. We here give his
formula or prescription, as he has com
municated il to the world through the
medium Of the Central News Agency:
Acid, arsenic. / kal, carbon, dep, 3:
aqua ciunamylic. 3; aqua destill, 5;
coque usIue ad perfectam solutionem;
deinde adde cosnac. 2.5; extralaudan.
aqua, 3; quod N aqua destill, 2.5; solu-
tion ct 1einde filtratum fruit"
Converted into plain English the for
mula runs AS follows:
Arsenic acid. / part: carbonate OF
potash. parts; cinamyllic. acid. .
parts. and distilled water. rarts; heat
until a perfect solution is obtained, then
add 2.5 parts of cognac and parts of
watery extract of opium ehich has been
dissolved in 2.5 parts Of water and FL
tered
And next comes DR.. Hofrs statements
and specifications:
"Dr. Hofrs directions. are. At first
take six drops after dinner and supper,
gradually increasing to % drops.
He states that he has. tried the reme-
dy on 200 patients from the lowest
classes. who had been long under oh
servation.
Mild cases were quickly cured. and
partial cures were soon brought about in
several cases. The appetite and weight
were increased steadily, the fever low
cred, night sweats, insomnia, and asth-
matte symptoms lessened. cough de-
creased, and rattles stopped The pa
tients are asked only to keep the kidneys
in order.
The duration of the treatment de-
ponds upon the condition Of the patient
Mild cases are cured in two months. but
the more severe require a year or two
DIR Hof says he does not claim for
the solution the power of a magic wand,
which cures at touch, but he can state
this-that one of his patients had cavi-
ties in the lungs big enough to put
ones fist into, yet he was cured in about
two years. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the solution should be taken after
eating, when the stomach is full.
The treatment must not be forced
by increasing the doses. As long as
the patient shows signs of Improvement
the dose should not be increased 1t is
sometimes beneficial to reduce the dose"
Evidently. Dr. Hoff is not a uuack
with a nostrum to sell or a prophylactic
TO exploit. He is a professor of medicine
recognized as high authority in medical
circles. I am glad always to oblige
