INCREASE TURKEY CROP
AT LITTLE COST

For those who are favorably stu
ated for raising turkeys, a more pro
ftable side line scarcely can be
found. Plenty of range is necessary
to raise turkeys, so this usually limits
the opportunity to the farms. Tur-
KEYS are included in the Department
of Agriculture's program for increas-
ing poultry production, and specialists
of the department point out how and
where increases can be obtained.
TURKEYS are especially suited to the
fga1n and sUoGh farms where there Is
ample ranging ground Astounding in
such turkey food as grasshoppers
and other insects, weed seeds, waste
grain such as is left in the fields after
harvest, and nuts of such varieties as
beechnuts, chestnuts, pecans, pine
nuts and acorns. On such farms the
present prices of grain affect the tur-
key raiser but little, for with the X
ception of what is used at fattening
time the feed consumed is largely of
such kind as would otherwise be
wasted.
With but little additional outlay to
the farmer many more turkeys could
and should be raised, Federal special
lists say. The small number Of Lur-
keys per farm in the United States
is surprising. According to the CEN
sus of 1910, which is the latest that
has been taken, only 1877 per cent of
the total number of farms reported
any turkeys at all, and OF those farms
reporting turkeys an average of but
81, "a,
was found per farm. Some farms by
nature of the crops grown on them or
because of unfayorable surroundings
are not adapted to turkey raising, but
most farms could easily handle a
breeding flock of from 10 to Is hen
turkeys and a tom, raising from rs
to $50 each year at a good profit.
Throughout the Middle West, where
most of the turkeys are raised, it is
unusual to see flock of more than
so on a farm, although in Texas,
where more are produced than in any
other State, focks of several hundred
are rather common. In sections of
the Southwest and on the Pacific coast
a few persons have engaged in tur-
key raising on large scale, rearing
a thousand or more every year.
There are not, however, enough tur-
keys raised on the Pacific coast to
supply the local demand. This is true
also of the Atlantic Coast States.
Production in New England, once
famous for its turkeys, is very great
ly reduced.
Owing to the fact that the Bronze
turkey is the heaviest, it is more pop
ular among turkey raisers than other
varieties. Since turkeys are sold by
weight, the heaviest birds bring the
greatest returns. When large num-
Der of people are to be served, as in

DON'T WASTE SKIM MILK

Because skim milk is not profitably
utilized for human food, the loss from
waste of this important product in
the United States, according to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, in pointing out
the value of cottage cheese as a hu-
man food, calls attention to the fact
that in every pound of cottage cheese
there is about one-fifth of pound of
protein, nearly all of which is digesti-
ble Meats, on the other hand, usual
ly contain less protein and besides
have certain waste. such as bone and
other inedible material. Cottage
cheese does not contain quite so much
energy-producing material as meats
but nevertheless supplies energy much
cheaper than meats. Large quantities
of skim milk which normally go to
waste could be saved for human con-
sumption by making it into cottage
cheese.

NEW PLAN AIDS
FARM STUDENTS

The new three term plan adopted at
the University of Missouri is dis
tinct advantage to the students in the
College of Agriculture because it
will enable them to do the usual
amount of school work during the
year, and also to devote one-third OF
the year to actual farm work. Stu
dents will obtain as much credit II
two terms under the new plan as they
did in two semesters under the old
and will be able to finish the second
or winter, term in time to assist with
farm work in the spring.
Beginning with the latter part OF
August, this year the three term
plan will go into effect. The 1918 SEES
sion will begin August 27. The first
term will close December 81. The
winter term will begin December 80
and continue until April %. The
third, or spring and summer, term will
begin April "a and continue until
August IA. The spring and summer
term will be divided for most OF the
courses into two periods of eight
weeks each. The first period will be-
gin April "a and continue until june
10, and the second will continue from
June 20 to August Ia. This arrange
ment will permit teachers who's
| schools do not close before the open
| ing of the spring and summer term t.
lido the usual amount of work in sum
mer school. Those whose school
close in time for the opening of tn
spring and summer term will be abl
to do third of a years work in tn
University each year.

ALL COUNTIES URGED
TO TEST MATERIALS

County Highway Engineers and
others interested are urged by the
State Highway Department to pre-
pare smaples of rock and gravel so
that they may be tested to determine
their true value as BODYBUILDING ma
terials. Instructions for preparing
samples may be obtained by address,
ing Mr.. H. A. LaRue, Testing Engi-
neer, State University, Columbia,
Mo. 1t is common practice in many
counties to use rock and gravel for
road purposes which is the most avail
able, regardless of the quality. Lime
stone is often used for wearing sur
face which is really not good enough
for the base. 1t is waste of the
peoples money to put poor matrial
on a road.

AIR LINE FROM STATE
CAPITAL TO ST. LOUIS

Monster road grading outfits are at
work on the "Capital Highway" in
Usage and Gasconade counties i'm
proving the "air line" between the
capital city of Missouri and st. Louis.
This road crosses the Usage river at
Huber's Ferry, thence east through
Linn, Mount Sterling, Drake, Leslie
and Union to st. Louis, a distance of
practically 1875 miles. With one or
two re-locations it is believed that the
Capital Highway" will be shorter
than the railroad between these i'm
portant points. From Jefferson City
west, the Capital Highway" passes
through California, Upton, Sdalia,
Warrensburg, Pittsville, Lone Jack
and Lees Summit to Kansas City.

LINEN CLOSET AN
AID TO HOUSEKEEPERS

The linen closet is one of the most
important storerooms in the house
and should be situated in that part of
the house where it will be most &C
cessible. The location of this closet
and it's contents will depend on wheth-
err the house has one or more floors,
according to Extension Circular Al of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture. If the bedroom and bath
are on the second floor, then the bed
linens, dresser scarfs, bath and hand
towels should be placed in a closet on
the upper floor, preferably in the both
room or upper hallway. The table
linen should be placed in the dining
room on the first floor; the kitchen
towels and dish towels in the kitch-
en-. If the house mas one floor only,
the bed room linen and the bath room
linen should be PLACID in the bath
room closet, or in the absence of Il
bath room, tn closet containing those
linens should be situated in the bed
room or back hall.
Steps may be saved by keeping the
table linen in drawer of the buffet
or china closet in the dining room,
Kitchen towels and dish towels may
be kept in some convenient cupboard
near the sink or table where the dishes
are washed and the work is done.
The linen closet should be made
mouse proof, so that the linens may
be cared for in the best way. This
closet, by good arrangement, may be
made very convenient, for example,
the linens in constant use should be
placed on the shelf nearest at hand
those used less frequently should be
placed in the least convenient placs.
Other suggestions on selecting and
storing household linens will be found
in this circular, copies of which may
be had upon application to the College
of Agriculture at Columbia, Mo.

DO NOT NEGLECT
ROAD MAINTEN ANCE

If counties, townships and districts
would apply the old adage "a stitch
in time saves nine", by stopping a
wash with shovelful of earth instead
of letting it go until wagon load is
required, the earth roads of the State
would be maintained in better shape
and at less cost than is now the case.
The State Highway Department is
urging the adoption of the patrol sys-
tenn Of maintenance, and. it is ex-
pected that the next session of the
General Assembly will enact legisla-
