If Young Birds Can Be Induced to Roost in Largs Trss Nsar Poultry Houas They WHI Do Wall- Avoid Damp Quarters. (Br R Q. WEATHERSTONE.) It la a mistake to confine turkeys In small enclosures. By nature they are roving birds and get tbolr feed over a vide range. Turkeys should be raised with tur key bens because the young poults with chicken mothers will not range as widely as they should. The young turkeys should be turnsd out in the fields Just as soon as the dew is off the grass and should be allowed to remain out until dark. If they are driven into the poultry houae about dark and given a feed of grain or dry corn meal, wet and aqueeaed dry, they will. In a few daya. return of their own accord. Of course they must be brought In every night because if they are al- Excellent Type of Turksy. lowed to roost away from the poulry house they are likely to be destroyed by animals. If the young turkeys can be Induced to roose In a large tree near the poul try house they will do rery well there, because the tree Is the natural roost ing place for turkeys. We know a woman In Virginia who raised about 200 turkeys every year and they all roosted In two large trees In ,the yard at the rear of the house. An Inclined board Is placed agalnat the tree so that the poulta can get Into it when they are quite young. Many of them continue to walk op the plank to the first branches even after they are fully grown while the others use their wings to reach the branches. Young turkeys cannot thrive In damp quartern. They should be well ventilated and placed where they will get plenty of sunshine. Young turkeys should never be hur ried or driven home or quickly forced Into the poultry house. They are de liberate In their movements and should take half an hour or more to find their roosting places and settle down for the night YOUNG ANIMALS ARE MOST PROFITABLE In figuring on the relstive value of young and old cows there are a great many things to be taken into account, says a writer in the Farm Progress. The general Impression is that a young cow of the same grade ia more desirable than an old one, and with the most breeds this la generally the case. But It is better to purchase an old cow of good grade when a moder ate amount of money is to be invests ed than to purchase a young cow that never would be profitable. The young cow of poor breed would yield very little profit for many years, during which time ahe muat be fed, while the older cow which is pur chased for the same consideration will yield a good profit during the few re maining years. It stands nowadays that a purebred milk cow six years old might be worth *4O in the market, whereas a cow of her same grade nine years old will bring only S4O. If a buyer makes a purchase of a milch cow for S6O the interest at six per cent for three years would be SIO.BO. If he buya an old cow the interest for three years at six per cent would be $6.20. It can be readily seen that at the PEANUT BUTTER IS POPULAR BWMH of Plant Industry Issues Cir cular Dealing With Its Use and How Manufactured. Circular >8 of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture, •ays; "The growing popularity of peanut butter aa a food has led to many In quiries regarding the methods em ployed in its manufacture. Peanut butter is In reality a very simple preparation, consisting merely of fresh-roasted peanuts ground fine and salted to suit the taste. Beveral large factories and a large number of smaller ones are now devoted to the manufacture of this product with which to supply the rapidly Increas ing demand. Some of the larger fac tories are almost models in their construction, equipment and manage ment, while many of the smaller es tablishments, which have no elaborate equipment, are turning out an excel lent product "Peanut butter was first manufac tured and offered for sale as a food for Invalids, but the article was soon adopted by many persons who for one reason or another, such as prefer ence for vegetable foods only, object ed to the use of ordinary dairy butter. It soon outgrew this condition of lim ited use, and its development on a commercial scale has been a general product. It was never Intended that this product should be used as a sub stitute for or a competitor of butter, but as a luncheon delicacy and to add variety to the diet. Peanut butter is a wholesome and nutritious food prod uct and haß become a popular article upon our markets. Last year one manufacturer used over 130 cars of shelled peanuts In the production of 6,000,000 small Jars of this food. Other manufacturers used large quantities, the total consumption of peanuts for the manufacture of pea nut butter alone amounting during the year of 1911 to approximately 1,000 cars of shelled goods, or 1.000,- 000 bushels. "In order to produce high-class pea nut butter the manufacturer must em ploy the best materials. On the oth er hand, the use of the best stock ob tainable will be of little avail unlen the work of converting Into a salable product Is conducted in a sanitary manner." Health and Strength of Wool. If the animal Is In poor health th». effect on the growth of the wool la similar to Insufficient feed. Sheep often abed or Blip their wool as a re sult of a feverish condition. Any se vere illness extending over sufficient time to reduce the animal In flesh will almost Invariably cause a weak place In the wool. In the production of good, strong wool the health of tho animal Is Just as essential as proper feeding. Permanent Pasture for Hogs. It will pay you to go to some trou ble to get an acre lot well set with permanent grasu for the boar to run In.

An Idesl Fsrm Ysrd. would have to be sold for, day, S2O and he must buy a new one to replace ber. At the end of the second three years the young cow would be twelve years old, and would have to be sold for about S2O, while the second old cow would bring about the same price. Reckoning the Interest on the mon ey Invested, the amount would ba $21.80 for the purchase of tho youns cow, and sl7 for the Interest on the cost of the two old cows, a difference of $4.80 In favor of the two old cows. But the large average product of the young cow during the first three years would no doubt In most cases more than overbalance the difference. Some buyers prefer to get old cows because the animals, then being fully developed, they Sre able to readily Judge of their milk-producing quali ties. They argue that the old cows will stand heavy graining, and some times such cows are milked only one season, their owners preferring to change often and submit to a loss each time for tbe sake of keeping u£ a large milk supply. On tbe other hand, the buyer who Intends to keep his purchase all through bet period of usefulness pre fer* to get a cow which is still to paw TO TUNNa UNDER CHANNEL Lsng-Delayed Franco-English Project It Once Mora Balng Put Forward. A tunnel between England and France beneath the English chahnel wis first proposed at the beginning of the nineteenth century by Mathieu, a French mining engineer, saya the Argonaut. Fifty years later the acheme was financed, but it waa not until 1867 that it seemed that the project would be actually attempted. At that time there were a dozen or more plans for rail communication between the two countries. The ac cepted scheme was that of a tunnel bored beneath the bed of the channel. The estimated cost of the undertak ing was about 150,000,000. Prelimi nary boring had been made, when the work was Interrupted by the Franco- Prussian war. In 1874 the French and English governments resumed ne gotiations concerning the tunnel, leaving the matter in the hands of a Joint commission. Failure 'on the part of the English company holding the contract for the work to receive sufficient funds resulted in the fail ure of the enterprise in 1880. Now the project is receiving some atten tion, a better feeling having been es tablished between the people of the .two countris.

Drastic medicines like salts, mineral waters, pills and powders may afford tempo rary relief, but their violent action on the stomach and bowels tends to up set the entire system. A mild laxative is far preferable and more effective. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre scribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell, and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is Ideal for women, being gentle in action, pos itive In effect and pleasant to the taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at night will bring natural rejief next morning and, used regularly for a brief period, will so strengthen and tone the muscles of the stomach and bowels "that there will be little, if any, further need for medicine. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be procured in any drug store. Your name and address on a postal to Dr. W. B.
