For the first few wombs . t
their lives, or null they are well
leathered out, dampness is ver,
fatal to young tucks.

Chicks and can be kept before
them et all times iu hoppers,
with good results.
Turkey hens often begin to lay
in March, but May is early
enough for the first poults to
hatch out.
Before placing the chicks in
the brooder the floor should be
strewn with sand and alfalfa
leaves or chaff. If a little granu-
lated charcoal is mixed with the
sand it will be all the better.
Too much insistence cauuot be
placed on the importance of
keeping the brooder clean.

THE MANAGEMENT
OF YOUNG TURKEYS
A� turkey hen can incubate from
fifteeu to eighteen eggs, and a chicken
hen about nine turkey eggs. The eggs
hatch in four weeks, often in twenty-
six days. The newly hatched poults
are delicate and tender, but good care
will save most of them, writes a Na-
tional Stockman correspondent. Tur-
key hens, if managed properly, really
make better mothers than chickeu hole
and after the arrival of warm weather
each hen can safely mother twenty or
more poults.
Each hen and her brood of little
poults ought to be kept confined for a
few days, or longer if the weather is
wet, in` dry roomy coops. The coops
should be tight around the bottom,
since the -young tucks are naturally
inclined to wander and will take ad-
vantage of any openings of escape.
Once out they are unable to get back
again and they quickly become chilled.
In order to afford full protection from
dampness, as well as from rats and
weasels, coops with floors are to be'
preferred. Cleanliness is very essential
for young turkeys and therefore the
coops should be given a thorough clean-
ing frequently.

Newly hatched poults require .= food
for twenty-four flours. Nature has
provided for this, and even. for a.longer
period. When ready fdr food I have
secured good results by feeding hard

When turkey hens manifest a
restlessness and a desire to roam
place empty barrels, turned down
on one side, in fence corners and out
of the way places, especially in the
orchard or along hedges. The in-
terior may be darkened and par-
tially obscured from view by brush
carelessly thrown about the en-
trance or old boards set up at one
side. It Is best to gather the eggs
every day, . substituting chicken
hens' eggs in their stead. Keep
the eggs in a cool, dry place, ex-
cluded from the light,• and, turn
daily until a setting is obtained.
boiled eggs, minced fine, for a few
days, thea changing to bread soaked
in milk and squeezed dry, rolled oats
and cottage cheese. After a few weeks
of this bill• of fare, ground wheat and
oats are added to the ration. .Com-
mercial chick food is also given occa-
sionally for variety. The principal rule
to observe in feeding poults is to give ,
them just what they will eat up clean
in a short time:
Green food of some kind must be
provided right from the start Grass
of their own picking does not meet
the regkirements of the poults until
they are well advanced in growth.^
Young clover, onion tops, dandellons
and lettuce leaves, chopped fine and
fed at every meal the first two or
tree IN eeks, will always prove satis-
factory. Supply water in shallow
dishes, along with an abundance of
suitable grit.
It is very essential that the young
poultFs be examined at an early date
for large had lice or gray lice. Noth-
ing so quickly saps the life of a young
turkey as lice. The pests are usually
found on the head or under the wings.
Dust the poults with a good insect
powder at least once every two weeks
until eight weeks old. In warm, sunny
weather fresh lard in small amounts
may be applied safely on top of the
head, on the legs and beneath the
wings. '

The Habit of Reading Advertisem a s
NEWSPAPERS
would be much less enjoyable, instructive and valuable
n than they are if they contained no advertisements. Many persons
read the advertisements quite as thoroughly as t•y read the news
matter, T just as k should be.
. The more advertising, the
more buying. The more buying,
the greater the consurrption of
the goods or service advertised.
More business would be done
by the merchants of Wingham
if they advertised more, and
if more of them advertised.
Much business goes to the big
city mail-order houses because
they advertise. Theses houses
would cease to draw business
from this community if they
ceased to advertise.

ENGLISH PRISONERS
Lord Kitchener has made the state-
ment in the House of Lords that he has
been forced to admit that there is evid-
ence sufficient to prove conclusively that
English prisoners in Germany are being
maltreated, insulted and even shot in
cold blood.
There have been rumors about this
conduct of the Germans, and many
have looked on them merely as rumors,
but the announcement of Lord Kitchen-
er's speech reduces them to facts.
Nothing can be done to bring Germ-
any to time, and made her desist from
her barbarism, but the knowledge of
it will give the British and Canadian
soldiers a fresh impetus in their ad-
vance. It is to be hoped that the evid-
ence of which Lord Kitchener speaks
will be turned to good use after the
war in the punishment of those who
are guilty.
England will not retaliate by treating
German prisoners badly, because Eng-
land's presence in the war is to uphold
a higher system of morals than the
Germans can be expected to understand,
a system in which right is not based on
might. and under which a prisoner of
war• is as certain of being allowed
e-,ery right, except the one of liberty,
which he had forfeited.
In "The Reyenge" by Tennyson the
commander of the ship addresses his
gunner as follows:
"Sink me the ship. master gunner, -
Sink her; split her in twain,
Fall into the hands of God
Not into the hands of Spain."
There is, no doubt, much feeling of
this kind in the army facing the Ger-
mans now, and a feeling that they
would rather die than be prisoners of
the Germans.
DOES DRINK HELP BUSINESS.
To the Editor —
If any cif our reade'fs think that
drink helps business let him listen to
the words of Ex -Governor Glen of N.
Carolina in a speech delivered at
Roleigh in 1913.
He said, "Three months ago I was in
the Capital of Kansas talking to Gover-
nor Stubbs. I said "Governor you are
reported as saying that in Kansas there'
are fifty seven counties out of one
hundred and five with not an inmate in
the poorhouse; twenty-four counties
with not an idiot; twenty-one counties
with not a convict; thirty-six with no
inmates in the reformatory; fifty-two
with not a single person in the jails;
ninety-six counties with not an in-
ebriate; sixteen counties with not an
insane person, not a boy or girl in the
reformatory, not an idiot in the county."
"Yes" said Governor Stubbs," I said it
and I say something more. We have
the lowest taxes of any State in the
Union. Our people are better fed and
better clothed than ever before. They
have more money in the banks; there is
less crime than in any state in the Union
except N. Carolina and 1 attribute
seventy-fiive per cent of our peaee and
prosperity in Kansas' to the driving out
of this monster evil from our midst and
to our enforcing prohibition laws."
The tacts stated above seem so in-
credible when corlipared with conditions
in our own country that many may say
they don't believe it, but there is not
the slightest doubt of the Governor's
statements. Kansas is the only State
i in the Union,• probably the only eoun'iry
in the world that is out of tbk.

WHAT A MAN PAYS FOR.
Every man who does a sloppy piece
of work, and contents his little soul
with the idea that "it will never be
noticed," sooner or later will have to
pay for it. He may be a machinist,
who bores a hole too slack for a shaft,
and trusts to the fact that the machine
is to be shipped to some distant town,
and that by the time it is discovered, it
will he forgotten that he was the one
who did the job. He may be an inspec-
tor who is rushing his job in order to
get the goods away from his depart-
ment on a Saturday morning, and he
doesn't use proper care in his investiga-
tions with the result that work which
should never have left the shop goes
out ihto the world 'to make a laughing
stock of the guarantee of the manufac-
turer from whom he receives his pay.
The shipping clerk who overlooks the
fact that goods are to go freight pre-
paid, and sends them on their way to
destroy the good nature of the purchas-
er who has bought them laid down at
his railroad brings discredit on his firm.
Carelessness is what we have tb pay
for—other men's carelessness—yes! but
don't let us lose sight of the fact that
we don't have to pay half as much for
other people's earelessnes as we do for
our own. Carelessness is as insidious
as the drug habit, and mighty near as
injurious. It creeps in by stealth, and
it is so easy to say, "It'll never be not-
iced." The only way to stop it is to
get real mad the very first time we
find ourselves doing anything in that
line, and tear the thing to pieces, and
just make ourselves do it all over again
and do it right. We've got to teach
ourselves that carelessness won't do
for us. The advertising and other cost-
ly efforts of manufacturers to obtain
business are often counteracted by the
carelessness of the employees who look
to those same manufacturers to pay
them good wages. Any man who know-
ingly lets poor work either of his own or
apother's get past the shipping doors is
a traitor. He's a traitor to his boss,
and he's a.ttaitor to his fellow work-
men who conscientiously try to do good
work, Manufacturing concerns are
judged by the goods they place on the
market and one bad piece of work may
have disastrous results, If orders drop
off, and work becomes slack, and sothe
Men are laid off and have to walk
around weeks looking for a job,
whose fault is it? Sometimes it is the
fault of the man who did sothething
he thought would never be noticed."

. MANGE IN HOGS.
Swine Afflicted With Skin Diseases
Make Little Profit From Feed.
Hogs sometimes get mangy. The skin
becomes sore and cracked, and the hog
is in a' generally unhealthy condition.
The first treatment for the mange is to
give the animal a vigorous scrubbing
with a brush, using soft water and
soap. After the animal has been thor-
oughly scrubbed it should be treated
with some of the various coal tar dips.
which are on the market. These dips
give very satisfactory results if used
in accordance with directions. They
should be warmed to about 110 degrees
F. to give the best results. In order
to make -the treatment effective the
hog must be thoroughly covered with
the dip, if the tank is used it should
be completely immersed and should be
kept in the tank about two minutes.
It is necessary to repeat the treatment
one or more times at intervals of about
eight days. Where the mange is prev-
.alent in a herd the whole herd should
' be treated.
A very good dip can be made Prom
crude petroleum by using four gallons
of crude oil, sixteen gallons of water
and a pound of soft soap. A larger
amount of soap may be necessary in
some kinds of water in order to prop-
erly emulsify the oil. The soap sbodid
bo thoroughly dissolved In water be-
fore adding the oil and the mixture
should be thoroughly churned_
The quarters which the bogs are'oe-
ctopying must always be thoroughly
disinfected or the nnitnals will rein -
feet themselves unless shifted to fresh
quarters. Where the true mange is
present every post or Free which 'the
bogs have been rubbing against must
be thoroughly disinfected with sotne
strung disinfectant.

NAVAL WIRELESS.
It is Almost Impossible to "Jam" a
Well Organized Servic8,
Many suppose that it 14 possible for
an enemy to disrupt and suspend all
wireless cbmmunieation at will by pro -
clueing very powerful waves of irreg.
ular length—in other words, by inter-
ference or "jamming." According to
Commander F. G. Loring of "the Brit-
ish navy, such tactics are .seldom suc-
cessful, It is very hard, if not im-
possible, to "jam" a well organized
wireless service, for there are 1pany
ways, both technical and methodical,
to defeat such an intention: If the
enemy attempts interference he piust
put his own wireless communication
completely out of action for the time
being, with no certain prospect of se-
riously inconveniencing the communi-
cation of his opponent.
Commander Loring also believes that
the risk of havingthe signals of the
fleet intercepted by an enemy is very
slight. "Co-operation between opera-
tors, with full knowledge of each oth-
er's methods. is extremely Important
when handling difficult code messages,
and the more skilled the organization
the more difficult it is fora strange
operator to take down With the neces•
sary accuracy the groups of a code
message. ' He cannot ask for the repel
tition of doubtful groups, and he has
no intimate and daily familiarity with
the methods of the° sender to assist
him in his task. -
"And, after all, giving the enemy ev-
ery advantage, giving him a perfect
record of the signals, the key of the.
code to his hand and equal facility of
skill and language to translate it for
use—a most improbable combination,
it must be admitted—be has still fail-
ed to prevent the all important infor-
mation trent reaching its destination."

CAVALRY HORSES.
The Loads They Have to Carry in the
Armies of Europe.
, The British cavalry is armed with
the short Lee -Enfield rifle, the maga-
zine of which holds ten rounds; the
sword, which is carried by all ranks
except signalers, and the revolver, car-
ried by warrant officers, staff' ser-
geants, sergeants, trumpeters and driv-
ers. Each trooper carries 100 rounds
of ammunition in a bandolier over the
left shoulder. Lancer regiments carry
the lance. Each cavalryman, like the
infantryman, carries an emergency and
the "iron" ration and ii• ration for his
horse. Then there is the kit. Altogeth-
er the British troop horse carries about
twenty stone (230 pounds).
The regular Russian cavalry are arm-
ed with sword, rifle and bayonet, and
each man carries 40 rounds of ammuni-
tion. There are the two days' oats
and bay ration, a cloak and an in -
trenching tool. The cavalryman's kit,
two days' rations, spare horse shoes,
horse blanket, canvas bucket and a
mess tin go to forth the complete equip.
ment and weigh altogether about 110
pounds. The Cossack pony carries
about seventeen stone. The average
weight carried by the Indian troop
horse when ready for war is about
nineteen stone. The Austrian troopers
carry a weight of between twenty-one
and twenty-two stone, and the average
in the French and German armies is
about the same.—Manchester Guardian.
Must Keep the Curtains Up.
"In London it is strictly against the
law for the driver of any public con-
veyance td allow the curtains of his
vehicle to be pulled down." said a man
who has visited the English metropolis.
"By day or night the windows of cabs,
hansoms, carriages, or what not, wheth-
er drawn` by horses or propelled by
electric power, must be so open to pub-
lic inspection as to allow a plain view
of those occupying the interior. A
closed rig wouldn't get a block before
R London bobby would nab its driver
and hale him to a magistrate's office,
where he would get no mercy.- The
law is based -on the theory that closed
vehicles lend themselves easily to the
commission of robbery or murder and
that they may also assist a criminal to
make itis escape."

THE WESTERN PAIR.
Queen's Park at London, Ontario,
the home of the Western Fair, is a very
busy place at present, as active pre-
parations are in progress for the great
Exhibition to be held in September.
Ever since the last Exhibition the en-
tire Grounds and Buildings have been in
possession of the Militiary authorities.
The City of London and the Board of
Directors of the Western Fair Associa-
tion have been very pleased to be able
to help our Government in some small
way in these strenuous times and so the
Grounds and Buildings were placed at
their disposal entirely free. As the
Soldiers are now under canvas a great
deal of work will have to be done to
prepare the buildings for the Exhibition.
Owing to an unfortunate fire in the
Grand Stand the old structure is entire-
ly demolished and a ne,v and up-to-date
steel stand will a seating capacity of
5000 people is in course of erection.
This will very much add to the comfort
and convenience of the visitors as- every
