TURKEYS SCARCE. Disease Cutting. Off the Anuual Thanksgiving Bird. Ottawa, Oct. 224. --The Dominion Gov- ern:men , which proclaimed Thanksgiving on the 31+st of this month. is now at work trying to save the holiday from disappointment by reason of the extinc- tion of the necessary Thanksgiving tur- key. Dr, Charles Higgins, Dominion hi- ologist, states that the high price of turkeys is not the result of a combine, but is dne to a great mortality among turkeys all over Canada, caused by a parasitic and contagious disease com- monly known he "hlsekhcad." The disease, which manifests itself by black spots on the comb; is raging throughout the Dominion. The only ef- ficient remedy so far discovered is to starve the bird for 48 hours, and then administer a diluted solution of mur- iatic avid, a teaspoonful of acid to a quart of water. Dr. Higgins, howover, is at work upon some plan by which the disease may be stamped out or onto., gion prevented. The disease is reported from every province of the Dominion.

On most farnis the sucking colt 130 recently been, or is now being, weaned, and this -:is one of the most critical per- iods .of its Lie. heretofore, its susten- ance has been furnished by its mother, though it has indulged to a considerable extent in supplementing that supply by grazing at pleasure. But when the pro- cess of weaning is institued, tate hither- to chief food supply is cut off, and the colt is forced to develop the incidental into its only mainstay. Some fanners have prepared the colt for this critical turn in its manner of living by having it learn to eat oats and fresh hay, and gradually accustoming it to depend largely on these foods before finally tak- ing away tine mother. But the great majorityof farmers have let the mare and colt run at large on pasture with little, if any, supplementary feeding; and when silo -filing time has come to hand, they decide at once to wean the colt and put the mare to work Too frequently the colt is turned with other young stock in a back pasture, and allowed to rustle for itself until late fall. Such a system is essentially wrong. The colt should be taught to eat grain and hay. If it has not learned to do so sortie time ago, then it should master that accomplishment at once. White it must not be too heavily fed, yet it should be fed liberally and regularly. The one thing to he kept in mind and zealously etriyen after is to keep the colt thrifty and constantly and rapidly growing. With 'horses as with other live stock, we wish them to make the greatest growth possible at the earliest age, and this must not be measured in pounds of fat, but in frame, height, bone and muscle. Up to weaning time, the colt is very little of a problem, as far as his feeding and growth is eoncerned, but, from that tune on, the making of a colt into a horse lies itt the hands of its owner or feeder. If it is starved andneglected for the next sae months after weaning, it will take the colt about two years long- er to reach maturity, and it Is very doubtful if it will ever grow into as large a horse as good care at the proper time would have mode of at. That man shows that he knows something about horse production who plans to do his best for the young colt during the sec- ond six months of its life. A moderate amount et' clean, fresh, mixed hay. and a grain ration of oats, with a little oil meal; and a twice -a -week half ration of bran, will go far towards supplying the colt's needs. There is noth- ing better than a moderate amount of milk for the colt at this time. Most farmers can readily, supply this commod- ity, and Om ueer,of it will find the .re - ':h tiu'ns 8c"•tiij`lct,(?�e••tracifylna.

One of the newest developments inthe great business of handling horses is that reported by the Live Stock World of Chicago, in which it is announced that a big firm, requiring a lot of horses in car- rying on its business, have undertaken to buy their supplies of horses direct, without seeing them. The cause of this movement is said to be m the fact that expert horsemen, employed to purchase their supplies of horses, have not given them entire satisfaction. So far, only limited consignments have been purchas• ed by this plan. and they are reported to have given entire satisfaction to the buyers. Such an outcome would scarce- ly have been expected, and others will probably wait a little while before adopting the same system. WHAT IS A GOOD BULL WORTH? (Canadian Farmer.) If a high-classShorrt-horn bull is worth 5100, when 1,000-1b. stockers are quoted a"t $35 each, how much ought he to be worth when these same cattle command *50 and upward apiece? This is a problem for the average farmer to ruminate upon with prospects of person- al benefit at the present time. There is an object lesson in it for him. With suelt high market :values as now prevail for all lines, but especially for the better crttglity, with seareity of rattle of all kinds, bet especially of the better kinds, its is a good tirne for the farmer to sit up and take some notice. There is no time like the present to get ries of all inferior animals, for they will sell for all they are worth, more than they area worth to keep. At the same time, prices •for first-class pure, bred stock have not ass yet responded to the same degree., to the upward trend as have market goods. But they are mov- Ng in that direction, and moving fast, Now is the time to buy.

Ottawa, Oct. 24.—Enquiry at the biological laboratory at the experiment- al farm, has revealed the welcome fact that the disease of rabbles has about run its course, no eaeos having been sent in there for observation within the last couple of months, During the year 1900, and until the end of September of this year, more than 125 animals have been sent an for observation. of which over half showed positive symptoms of rabies. Some were horses, othere rows, and calves, but in the main the animals sent in were dogs, whicht would comprise about 85 per cent, The Department of External 'Affairs has been advised from Washington that. the Minnesota Customs officials have been instructed to admit free Canadian Supplies offered for the relief of the forest fire sufferers south of the in. ternational boundary near Rainy River.
