For operation and diagnoses, a vet-

There should be a roll of sterile

ably those prepared ready for use by
'surgical supply hoeses. In addition
-have four Derby bandages and Mtn
flannel bandages for ese in lameness,

in sickness. Also 'keep oakum for

on the soles of the hoofs. Plaster of

Some of •the instruments needed are:

calves, pigs and lambs; curved scis-

hair; • suture needles; shoer's hoof

MEDICINES NEEDED.
All medicines for animals on the
fares should be kept hi a trunk, or
•close, dark, locked cupboard. Powd.er-
ed cletigs should' be kept in airtight
containers such as sterilized fruit
jars. Fluids sheeld be kept in stein
-leered or tightly corked bottles or jugs.
All drugs- should be plainly lal3elled
and, if dangerous, should be marked
-"pelson." Throw away any drug if
the label is lost and you are not stire
what the drug is.
A glass graduate will be needed for
measuring liquids; a scales for weigh-
ing quantities; a pestle and mortar
for powdernig and rniadng; a flour
sifter for /talking, Powders and remov-
leg %naps and coarse particles; a
:plat glass or slate slab and spatula
for mixing ointments; • tin boxes as
containers, and a supply Of clean bot-
tles and corks. The veterinariaa may -
need and use these conveniences on
many occasions. .
• All drugs kept on the farm should
sinllfie and Safe. The trained vet-
erinarian uses many strong drugs,
alkaloidal poisons and biologic pre-
Parations called serums, vaccines, and
ha-cthrins which can not properly be
given by the stockman. It would be
well to get from a veterinarian some
colic drenches for use in cases of
emergency.

have
turkeys and want the top prices for
them, a few tips broadcasted by the
Dept, of Agriculture will find you
interested.
The ,eacperts say that range fatten-
ing is more satisfactory than pen fat -
teeing. Begin fattening alataut three
weeks or a month before marketing,
and proceed gradually by feeding
lightly on corn in the morning and
Again hi the evening a short time be-
fore the turkeys go to roost. Increase
the geantity of corn fed gradually
until the birds are getting all they
will eat. Be careful not to feed new
corn too heavily until the turkeys
have become atcustorned to it, to pre-
vent digestive troubles.
Good-sized, weal -matured birds in
good condition for fattening can often
be Marketed to best advantage at
Thanleigiving. Small, Miniature tur-
keys should be held until Christmas,
Sor further fattening, but if the birds
are unthrifty market them at once.
Sales outlets to raisers within ex-
press ehipping distance of good mar-
kets 'are local consumers, local buyers
and dealers, more distant buyers or
dealers and carlot shippers, and re-
ceivers or commission merchants of
live or dressed poultry in the large
cities. To determine the best avail-
able outlet study shipping charges and
keep in touch with both local and dis-
tant buyers as to price, Distant buy-
ers will mail quotations on request.
Most producers market their tur-
keys alive. Shipping dressed turkeys
to markets is justified only when mak-
ing local sales or there is en unusually
favorable outlet for the dressed pro-
duct. Shipping coops should be high
enough to enable the birds to stand
up. A coopthree feet long, two feet
commedath five or six turkeys. Over-
crowdlege may result hi broieinga
whieh cletraets from the market valuef
over-erawding relay also eause death
and complete loss.
If the birds are on the road only a
few hour, de not feed before ship-
ping. If they are an the road a longer
time water and feed liberally to pre-
vent shrinkage in weight Ship in time
th place the turkeys an the market a
day or two before the holiday. Lath
arrivals may reach an overethoked
market, and arrival after the holiday
esually means lower prices,
Killing a'nd dressing birds is simple
when properly done. Hang up the
turkeys by their legs and with a single
stroke push the point of a sharp knife
up through the roof of the month into
the brain. When properly done this
operation paralyzes the bird and loos-
ens the feathers se that they come out
easily. Then sever the veine in the
throat just beyond the skull for
bleeding. The -turkey she -0d be dry -
picked and plucked clean. Thoroughly
cool the carcass after pluckleg, in-
asmuch as failure th remove all ani-
mal heat promptly will result 41 early
spoilage. Cool either by hanging out-
doors if the temperature is between
thirty and forty-five degrees, of by
immersing in cold running spring
water or ice water.
When thoroughly chilled, the car -
oases are ready for shipment A bar-
rel is a convenient shipping container.
Place a layer of cracked ice in the
bottom of the barrel, then a layer of
turkey, followed alternately by lay-
ers of ice and turkeys, and topped; off
with a layer of ice. 'Tack burlap over
the top of the barrel.
CAUTION. If you are building up
a permanent turkey business be Sure
to retain as many of the finest, largest;

How to Winter Bees
Successfully.
a. Successful wintering is essenti4). to
profitable beekeeping. This is not a
difficult m -atter provided the leesding
requirements areunderstood and ob-

and death to the colony. The methods
to be followed, both in feeding and
protecting, are clearly explained in

the plants, not over them.
The mulch, or protective covering,
shotaM not be mat on until the ground
-freezes, the idea being to hold the
frost in the ground once it is there,
and so prevent the plants irom heav-
ing. In the main, there are two evire
to he guarded against: First, undue
covering of all plants retaining pert
of their foliage, whereby rot is en-
couraged; and second, th prevent
heaving, in which case the roots are
toragfrom their anchorage in the soil
and are therefore liable to be killed.
A very heavy covering is, generally
speaking, not advisable, and if leavee
are used in moderatiexi they will per-
mit adequate air to find its way to the
crowns so that overmuch moisture will
never be present over the crowns of
the plants. • The •dead etalks of tails
growing herbaceous plants should ba
cut down, and Ia.id over the plants be-,
fore covering them with leaves, al
their presence prevents the leave
from becoming matted and heavy over
the crowns, where rot may be ept to
start if no air reaches them.
Beds devoted entirely to roses, espe-
cially if they be hybrid teas, should
receive a very heavy mulch of leaves,
after first spreading manure over the
bare ground between the plants. To
keep the leaves 41 place the bed is
"fenced around with poultry -wire net-
ting which prevents them from being
blown by the winds. Tender varieties
of roses are also protected by pulling
the soil up the stems tha height a
six to nine inches. Even should:they
be frozen down to the soil level, when
cut back to good live wood in spring
they will quickly send up strong
shoots.
Borders and beds filled with spring-
• flowering bulbs may be covered with
either manure or leaves. I have tried
both without any apparent difference
in the growth or flowers, but the
mulch tnust be removed just as the

a depth of nine to twelve inches are
placed over the clump or row of bulbs
to be protected, brought to a sharp
peak and made firm so that they will
tiu-ow off the rain.
• Strawberries must have a manere
mulch if a good crop of extra fine
fruit is to be harvested next year. Do
not place it over the plantsbut use
freely between the rovrs and close up
to the plants. It; is best not to apply
it until the ground freezes. After the
manure is in place cover the tops -of
the plants with a little straw or leaves,
holding them in place with light
boughs or brush.
Vines growing in exposed positions
are often badly damaged during wits

bring the vines down and bury them
with soil or" rough litter and leaves.

tranthes are not broken during the
process of bending them to the soil
level. When soil is used it should be
so mounded over the vines that it
will to some extent shed water. On
top of the soil a covering of leaves or
straw is given •after the ground
freezes.
• Where the preparation of the new

advantage to have the initial work
done in fall before the ground freezes.
