information concerning the tribes
leads one to believe that Mcdonald
was not attacked by Piegans. but by
the Gros Ventres of the Prairie, who
were the most to be feared in the To-

Aleck, a Cree Indian living on the
Mackenzie river, had told him that
nomad Indians from the Nelson river.
In British Columbia, had murdered a
boy accused of witchcraft. The
crime was placed at 40 miles south
of Fort Lizard.
Superintendent Knight of the Roy

The Lizard district was reached after
travelling hundreds OF miles on foot
with pack dogs and navigating the
swift lower Lizard river by canoe. Big
Aleck, when found. repudiated the
story. The party of three policemen,

which they found the body OF q boy
with his hands tied behind him.

four ducks on Flint creek, near that

deep to wade for the ducks. Taking

industry to such a great extent, aft
er 1t was almost wiped out during
a four-year period, shows to what
extent the growers have been able
to combat the disease. Constant
vigilance has been the price of sue
cess. This vigilance has been in
the form of strict attention to san
itation with medication playing a
minor part. Intestinal a~ntiseptics,
such as sulphocarbolate
and bichloride of mercury, on part
to 10000 parts water, used in the
feed and drinking water, have no
doubt served to hold outbreaks in
check. Recent Investigations on the
cause of blackhead in turkeys make
h combating of this disease much
more hopeful in the future. 1t has
been found hat the ordinary intes-
final worm, common to all barnyard
fowls must accompany the invading
parasite to which has been attributed
the blackhead disease before the
disease will be produced. 1t is an
easy matter to combat intestinal
worms. The feeding of pulvarized
tobacco to turkeys to combat in
~testinal worms may be all that is
necessary to rid our turkey hocks
of the cause OF blackhead.
Feeds
The feeding of turkeys is grow
ing more simple and more profit
able, especially after the young
stock is able to range. Green al

ally to keep down the cost of young
birds and assist greatly in main
tanning good health. The practice
of growing such grain crops as
wheat, millet and corn and allow
ing the turkey crop to do the har-
vesting is becoming more general
each year and greatly reduces the
cost of production. The cheap cost
of production must be kept in mind
from the start.
Marketing
The marketing of the turkey
crop is one of the most important
features and often the one not
given adequate attention. There is
perhaps no farm crop in which pro-
per finish plays such an important
part. In most cases the roasted
turkey comes on the consumers
table uncarved and it must be pre-
sentable. Turkeys are not consid-
cred so much a necessity, so far,
as a luxury, and the grower should
keep this in mind. Prime birds in
variably sell well. Poorly finished
stock brings disappointment to the
grower and to the
The time of marketing and the
most advantageous market must be
studied carefully for each particular
crop. Proximity to a big consum-
ing center, sue as the San Fran
cisco bay district, has been one of
the most valuable assets to the
turkey growers of the Newlands
project.

ANOTHER KIND OF GLARE
How tired our eyes become after
IA day on the water, or when the sun
shines brightly on the snow covered
ground. Do you remember the mis-
chievous boy in the classroom who
caught a beam of sunlight in mir
ror and reflected in into your eyes?
It made you start. These things are
particularly annoying because our
eyebrows give US no protection from
this indirect or reflected light which
comes in from below the level Of the
eyes.
This kind Of glare must also be
guarded against if we are reading
or writing on glossy paper. The light
should come over the shoulder, or be
directed to the page at such an angle
that a beam Of light from the lighted
filament of a lamp bulb cannot be
reflected up into our eyes. Lamps
placed in front of mirror and shad-
ed by shields should not be placed
in such a position that the mirror win
reflect the image Of the lighted fila
ment of the lamp bulb into our eyes
and cause this kind Of glare.
