One of Most Important Points
in Growing Pullets.
j
Clean ground for ranging Is one of
the moat Important points In tha
growing o f healthy pullets which will
become vigorous and profitable lay
ers. It Is pointed out by the poultry
husbandry department of the Ohio
State university.
“ A large percentage o f the mortal
ity In the growing flock, as well a*
In the matured laying Hoi k, la caused
either directly or Indirectly by Intes
tinal parasites,” P. B. Zuiubro, poul
try specialist, says In a recent exten
sion service publication. “These par
asites, as well as many disease germs,
ara carried over from year to rear In
the soil."
Zumbro urges that chick ranges be
on land on which no other chicks
hav* been raised or old hens ranged,
for at least two years Alfalfa, he
says, makes one o f the beat chick
ranges. Clover la almost as good, and
blue grass comes next.
“ Many poultry men think an alfalfa
or clover field la too valnabl* for
rearing chicks This Is a mistake.
Pooltry grown on good range will
give a return equal to that from
any live stock, or better. Good re
sults can be obtained by having two
or more ranges, and a crop can be
grown In the meantime. This meth
od will provide clean range and will
enable the owner to bave tbe brooder
boose near the farmhouse, saving
time In going to and from tbe bouse.
When this method la used, one acre

Wonderful Feats With
Turkeys Are Reported
Really wonderful results with turk
eys are reported from tbe Ontario
government turkey farm In Norfolk
county. Years ago this province used
to raise turkeys by tbe thousands
but disease got in and flocks bave
been diminishing to such an extent
that each year thousands o f birds are
brought in from the West. Tbe dis
ease puzxled people and except where
there was unlimited range the rais
ing o f turkeys languished. Even In
the places where there wa* plenty of
range, such aa in tbe rocky districts
on tbe edge o f forest landa, difficul
ties In the shape o f foxes and wolves
were encountered. It looked for a
while as If there would be practical
ly no turkeys raised In Ontario. But
Prof. W. R. Graham took hold o f the
thing and he soon found out that the
disease came from the ground and the
germs were so hardy that they could
live over In the coldest weather. He
adopted the plan of feeding every
thing In troughs and moving these
troughs each day and his results bave
been unusually successful.
Losses
have been light on tbe experimental
tnrkey farm and some excellent birds
raised.
SAME PRESCRIPTION

When I)r. Caldwell started lo practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for •
laxative were not aa fpreat aa today.
People lived normal lives, ate plaia,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early tnrre were

Effort of the Artist
Not Always Understood
The artist who recently told how,
when painting a landscape at the foot
of the PentlaDds, he was asked by tha
occupants of a cottage nearby not to
paint tbe cottage windows till dead
curtains were put up, now tells of am
other Incident which occurred to blm.
He was painting a landscape when a
man appeare«J on tbe scene and looked
over nis shoulder in the annoying man
ner o f passers-by who silently criticize
—or maybe admire—the incomplete
picture. The man produced a pair of
horn-rimmed spectacles, through which
his eyes ogled at the canvas. Then
he removed the “ headlamp*” to ob
serve In a marked American accent:
