TURKEY POULTS NEED MUCH CARE AND NURSING Dark, Damp Quarters and Vermin Responsible for Much Disease and Death Among the Young Ones. —By Anna Galigher. (Copyright, 1909.) L.^ r •/..x r , '& > < A Prize Winning Turkey Tom. Turkey liens begin laying early in the spring, and as they usually make their nests on the ground, it. is not ad visable to let them hatch the first lot of eggs, unless one can get them to sit In some sheltered place. If the hen sits in a cold, damp nest the eggs will not hatch well. This is often the cause of weak, sickly poults. While turkey hens make the best mothers, it is a good plan to hatch the first clutch of eggs with chicken hens; then by the time the turkey hens have finished the second laying the weather Is somewhat warmer and they may be allowed to sit. See that the hens have good nests and are kept free of lice. If the hens are allowed to sit in old nest-boxes they will soon become regular louse Incubators. Then when the little tur keys come out your trouble will begin in earnest. It doesn't take many lice to kill a young turkey. A young turkey cannot endure these tffe-sapping creatures as long as a chick can. If the feed is all right, and still they flo not seem to thrive, the chances are .that they have vermin of some sort. Spread the wings out and examine ■well on both the inside and outside. The latter is a favorite hiding place, and it sometimes happens that no lice can be found anywhere else. However, it is not uncommon to find the large lice wherever there are pin-feathers. Head lice attack little turkeys almost as soon as they are hatched. Last year we pinned our faith to a GET RIGHT KIND OF BROOD SOW Scrubs Never Prove to be Money Getters. Few things are more displeasing than to see a lot of heterogenous pigs following a scrub sow. They are un satisfactory to the feed lot and un profitable to the farmer. There is no good excuse for keeping scrub sows. The brood sow should be large, roomy and stand well on her toes. The shoulders should be smooth and deep, back wide and slightly arch ed. There should be ample room for Right Kind of Brood Sow. heart and lungs provided by a -wide and deep chest, well-sprung ribs and straight, deep sides. A good depth of chest and abdomen are especially im portant iji a sow. If possible the sow should be se lected from a large litter. This is apt to insure fecundity. Each sow should have at least 12 well-developed teats, thus providing proper nourishment for large litters. The sow should show quality, but not at the expense of constitution and vigor. When a sow has shown her self to be a prolific breeder she should be retained as long as her reproduct ive jiowers are maintained. Treatment for Roup—Roup is a con tagious catarrh and will, unless imme diately checked, go through the en tire flock. Every affected bird should be separated from the rest at once. The swelling on the head should be opened with a sharp instrument and the wound treated with an antiseptic, such as listerine, or one part carbolic acid to twenty parts water, A live ■ ><*y cent, solution of sulphate of copye^ so-called "louse-killer," and before we knew it our turkeys and chickens were literally alive with lice. Whether it has lost its strength or was bogus we are not prepared to say, but every time it was applied the little fowls became so sick that some of them came near dying. It had a worse effect upon the tur keys and chickens than it did upon the lice. Then we began to use lard, as we used to do years ago, before "louse-killers" came into general use. Up to this time we had lost 15 tur keys and twice that number of chick ens, all because the "louse-killer" failed to kill lice. No more turkeys or chicks died, but thousands of lice did. Great care must be exercised lest a little too much is applied. Just a little is enough, and it must be put on where it will reach the lice. Take a little on the end of the fin ger and apply wherever the lice are found. Olive oil may be used instead of lard. Lice cannot live long in either, and both are harmless to the little' fowls unless too much is used. The grease should not touch the bare spot under the wings if it can be avoided, and the head should not be greased unless one is certain that either lice or nits are present. A young turkey needs sunshine. Some people make a practice of shut ting their turkeys up in close, dark coops for the first week or two after they are hatched. These are the people whose turkeys die "without any cause." injected into the nostrils, the cleft ol the palate, the eyes and the wounds made by opening the swel'ings is saicj to be very good. Sometimes roup takes the form ol diphtheria and is more violent than ordinary roup. Sometimes children take it from poultry. It is very diffi cult to cure, and if this disease got into my own ilock I would kill every affected bird and burn its body. You will save time and probably a part ol your flock by killing all the diseased birds and burning them. Put the rest of the flock in warm, dry quarters, and before putting them in burn a little sulphur in the build ing, first closing all the openings. Dc not put the birds into the building for at least live hours after the burning of the sulphur, during which time i( should be thoroughly ventilated. Pointers on Pea Raising.—lt is diffi cult co secure exhibition peas without thinning the clusters. A pale with a notch in one end is used, which ena bles the operator to twist them oil rapidly. Usually, if the clusters were reduced one-half or more, the crop would be more valuable. Nature does some of this thinning, but not enough. If half the blossoms drop without set ting fruit, the orcliardist will do well to cut out half of those that remain. Japanese Cherries.—The Japanese cultivate the cherry tree mainly for its blossom, and have parks and ave nues of these trees. When the blos soms are at the height of beauty everybody goes to see the trees, and the mikado gives a garden party to Japanese and European officials for the enjoyment of the sight. Feeding Calves.—Don't feed the calves too much milk. Don't feed sour milk. Don't feed the young calves cold milk or the digestion of the calf will be in danger, and lack of thrift, scours and so-called calf cholera will follow. Relieving Choking Cow.—One who has successfully tried it says that a choked cow may be relieved by tying a stick in her mouth ro hold it open for a while. Her effort to dislodge it will start the obstruction in the throat. Alfalfa AdulteraSons.—The most common adulterations of alfall'a seed are burr clover, yellow, trefoil and sweet clover, (.rub grass, rib grass and green and yellow foxtail are alae found. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1909. LOOKED A LITTLE UNSTABLE Body Servant of Gen. Mahone Doubt ful of the Qualities of His Master's "Props." Gen. Adalbert R. Buffi ngt on, at • dinner In Madison, N. J., told a num ber of civil war stories. "Gen. Mahone," he said, "was very thin. One cold and windy December morning in 'G4 he was taking a nap in his tent when his old colored servant, 'Uncle Davy,' tiptoed in, and, stum bling in the darkness, knocked down the general's folding cot and spilled hiin out on the frozen ground. "Gen. Mahone jumped up furiously, seized a scabbard and made for Davy. Davy ran. The general gave chase. "Uncle Davy tore up hill and down dale till he was pretty well out of breath; then he looked back over his shoulder at his master, who bounded after him on slender limbs, blue and thin, his long, while night shirt flut tering in the chill morning. " 'Fo' de lan's sake, Mars' William,' the exhausted Davy yelled, desperate ly, 'yo' hain't trustin' yo'se'f india wind on dem legs, Is you?' " AGONIZING ITCHING. Eczema for a Year—Got No Relief Even at Skin Hospital—ln Despair Until Cutlcura Cured Him. "I was troubled with a severe Itch ing and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles, feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made It worse. Thousands of small red pim ples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised togo to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did eo, the chief surgeon saying: "I never saw such a bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up In despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable Itching after two or three applications of Cuticura Ointment. I continued its use, combined with Cutl cura Soap and Pills, and I was com pletely cured. Henry Searle, Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 8 and 10, 1907." Potter Drug & Chcm. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Ate a CHick with Big Eyes. A trainman ia telling an incident that occurred on a Mohawk & Malone train up in the woods the other day. The train was standing on a siding waiting the arrival and passing of an other train when an Italian walked through the coach, his hands crossed on his stomach and his head wagging from side to side in a doleful manner. "What's the matter, John?" some one inquired. "Oh, me sick —me sick as dev." re plied the man, rolling his head still more distressingly and continuing the rubbing of his stomach. "Sick? Well, what you been eat ing?" asked the sympathetic passen ger. "Eata de chick with the big eyes," responded John, as his groans in creased. John had killed an owl the night before and it didn't agree with him.— Utica Observer. Interrupted the Wedding. The other day, at the Shawnee county Court House, Probate Judge Schoch was about to marry a young couple. He pronounced the prelim inary words and told them to Join hands, and started on the ceremony. "Hey, there! Hold up a minute! Wait, I say!" This series of startling exclamations came from the door. The groom was horrified —the bride badly scared. "Just a minute. I want to give you each an apple before you are married." said the man who had made the noise. And in he calmly walked and handed each of them a Grimes Golden. It was one man's idea of a Joka. — Kansas City Journal. PRESSED HARD Coffee's V/eight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the in jurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says: "My mother, since her early child hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an offi cial visit to a distant part of the coun try and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavour of the cof fee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, i bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum'entirely. "I had really been at times very anxloua concerning my mother's con dition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better thdn she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a de gree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing."

Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y, Rabbinical Wit. An English rabbi was asked If there was any weighty reason against hav ing a clock in the synagogue. "By no means," was the reply. "Have your clock, bit put it outside the building, and then you can tell how late you come to the service." Two rabbis were passing the beautiful synagogue in which one of them officiated. "How I envy yo\'." said the first. "You must be in a* paradise." "Hold, friend!" <ll6 second explained. "In the original paradise there was only one serpent, but in this congregation are many of them." Oil Lamps Brighter Than Electric Light. Probably one of the most wonderful as well as useful of modern inven tions is that of a New York scientist who has just secured from the Gov ernment protection on a lamp burner, which by converting the oil into hy dro-carbon gas, burning on a mantle, gives an eighty candle power light with less oil consumption and with out carbonizing the mantle or over heating the lamp. It can be fitted to any lamp and the wick lasts a life time. There is absolutely no danger, no odor and no smoke. The Union Light Co., of New York City, have ac quired the selling rights of this burn er, which is called the "Herzog," after the inventor, and, we understand, are making a special discount to introduce it into each township with a view of securing a local representative.
