TURKEYS NEED RANGE
Mistake to Confine Fowls in
Small Enclosures.
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

grain or dry corn meal, wet and

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.

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."

and he must buy a new one to replace

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

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.
THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay Itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint
ment Into the parting with a bit of
Boft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint
ment tin the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It Is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
onoe or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence of
cathartics and purgatives. 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.
