Leading Cause of Damp
Litter Is Water Dishes

When damp litter appears In the
laying house, too often the ventila.
ton of the house Is blamed, and
we fail to look for other more com
mon causes of this trouble. While
looking for possible causes Of damp
litter, keep in mind that it takes
only a small amount of water TO
cause poultry litter to seem real
damp.
The chief causes of damp litter
in poultry houses is the water
fountain or drinking dish. Always
look at the watering arrangements
first. Often you will find that they
leak. Many times they are easily
turned over or are open so that the
birds walk in them and carry the
water on their feet to the litter.
Many of the better fountains do not
have any Of the above faults. but
the floor under the fountain is wet.
This condition is caused by the wa
ter dropping from the beaks and
wattles when the birds drink. This
is very noticeable where there is
not enough fountain space allowed
in the pen.

PL!\\N TRY
UNIQUE PLAN FOR
RAISING TURKEYS
Timely Hints for Using Re-
stricted Range Idea.

The discovery that turkeys can
be successfully raised in confine-
ment is leading to more extended
use of that method. Below are list
ed some suggestions for turkey pro-
| ducers who are intending TO fol-
low the restricted range plan. This
plan should be followed specifically
if the turkeys are to be raised sue
cesSfully.
Two yard areas should be pro
vided, one called the broOder range,
the other termed the rearing range
the first being near the brOoder
house. the second to be used after
the poults no longer need brooder
heat. There should be sod ground
that is not infested with black
head and where chickens have not
ranged recently. 1t seems impOs-
sible to keep turkeys free from
blackhead if they are allowed to
mix with chickens. Otherwise they
may be brOoded and fed the same
as baby chicks with all feed given
in hOppers.
Approximately 200 poults can be
broOded in a 10 by ~ brooder
house. This should be used for
the first eight to ten weeks. after
which the pOults should be moved
to the summer range quarters as no
further heat will be required.
Four separate yards should be
prepared adjacent to the brOoder
house. Each should contain 500
square feet of sod and each should
be used only two weeks so that
the poults will have access to fresh
ground every two weeks.
From the brooder house, the
young turkeys should be moved to
the rearing range, where a cheap
roosting shelter should be prOvid-
ed. A range of one acre of sod is
considered sufficient for 100 young
turkeys from the age of eight weeks
until they are marketed This area
should be divided into four sections,
and each section used in succession
one month The secret of sue
cessful turkey raising rests largely
on providing fresh ground and hop
per feeding all feed, coupled Of
course with strong healthy poults
and a suitable ration.
In the selection of range, it should
not be chosen where chickens
ranged recently or where there is
possibility of drainage from the
poultry yards reaching the turkey
range. 1t is desirable to have all
of the poults the same age. There
is no question but that turkeys can
be successfully raised in cOnfne-
ment and that it does not pay to
let turkeys range for their feed.

New YOrk.-Red Russia is en-
bracing the radio. The Soviet gov
ernment has made remarkable use
of broadcasting for propaganda
purposes.
There is probably no parallel in
history to the trial which ended at
Moscow in December" writes
Roger Shaw in the Review of Re-
views.
Eight Red engineers found their
lives at stake for alleged treason,
with the entire Russian population
as an audience. All court pro-
ceedings were broadcast by radio
to the delight of the Communist
proletariat; and the whole episode
was designed to furnish the Soviet
government with magnificent prop
aganda.
1.-The value of radio broadcasting
is fully realized by the Red lead
erS. In 1925 Moscow had but one
sending station; but in 1929 there
were 65, of which A were continu
ouSly active. Additional large sta
tions were then under construc-
tion, and there were many short
wave stations which may be set up
by anyone.
1.-The five-year plan provides for
81 new sending stations of 94S
kilowatt power, and 101 subsidiary
stations. Two million rubles

WashingtOn.-Does your family

If so it holds its average share
of United States wealth in these
precious stones. The most recent
estimate places the estimate of dia-

at a figure exceeding $4,000.000, 900.
A bulletin from the National Geo

of even more marked changes in
methods of mining and handling
the gems.
Diamond imports fell off in 1890

mines and the greater ease of re-

Increasing Demand for
Capons of Good Quality

There is a steadily increasing de-
mand for capons as the market be-
comes appreciative of their su-
perior quality for table purposes.
The question is sometimes asked !:
"What is a capon?" The answer
is: "An unsexed cockerel"-or a
bird from which the reproductive
organs have been removed before
it has been fully developed or at
tains maturity.
This operation has the effect Of
causing a more placid temperament
TO develop in the bird and the fight
ing instinct is lost as the result Of
the continuance of the infantile
undeveloped sexual nature. After
the operation has been performed
these birds grow rapidly; and their
flesh retains the tender condition
of young chickens up to the time
when they are fully grown.

No Inferiority Complex
About Daniel Webster

Undoubtedly the acceptance of
Daniel Webster's greatness by his
contemporaries was due in part to
his own consciousness of it, and his
skill in imposing his conception of
himself on others.
Even as a poor boy at Dartmouth
college he had passion for clothes.
For great OratoricaI occasions he al
ways wore a bright blue coat with
brass buttons, and a buff waistcOat.
There is more than a suspicion that
he stage managed his entrances and
exits.
Claude Moore Fuess, in his biog-
raphy, Daniel Webster" quotes a
Dartmouth graduate who remarked
that "in the political professions of
his youth, he never saw Webster ex-
cept marching alone in a hollow
square, and that without any plan
ming on the part of the authorities
in charge" Like other actors, he
needed his audience. While Emerson
COmmuned with the infinite through
his diary, Webster thought of him
self in terms of public appearance
Webster directed his deathbed
scene with a formality such as at
tends the passing of a cardinal OF
pope. After his dying Grafton he

house accommodating from 300 to

could be furnished by using a kerO.

BRITISH LABOR'S CHIEF LACK W1ckham Steed in the Autumn
 Yale Review

Labor's lack of a well-thought out political philosophy has told upon it. Since its outlook is to- day neither socialist, liberal, nor conservative, it is compelled to cudgel its brains in order to find fundamental ideas. In matter of economic doctrine it is at sixes and sevens; and, in general, it's various sections have little ground in common. The trade unionist ele- ments, who think they represent labor by hand" tend to be jeal- ous of the black-coated elements who represent labor by brain; and the Fabians, with their belief in the ''inevitability of gradual ness,' frown upon the fiery pro- tagonists of socialism in our time." Others agree in their hearts with Bernard Shaw-one of the earliest Fabians-that 'if we don't handle socialism very intelligently the goal will be the abyss" The older members of the party in parliament are unequal to the task of debating, day after day and night after night, questions of pub lie interest with which their gen. eral culture has hardly prepared them to deal; and the more hon. est their effort, the more heavily does it tell upon them.
