HOWTO RAISE
BABYJCHICKS
Put Avicol in the drinking water.
Most people lose half of every hatch,
and seem to expect it. Chick cholera or
white diarrhoea is the trouble. The U. S.
Government states that;over half the
chicks hatched die from tnis cause. •
An Avicol tablet,
placed in the drinking
- x < 1 -C water, will positively
save >' OU! * httle chicks
from all such diseases.
Inside of 48 hours the
IP’TL sick ones will bo as lively
as crickets. Avicol keeps
them healthy and makes
them grow and develop.
Mrs. Vannle Thackery, R.. F. D. 3, St.
Paris, 0., writes. ‘T had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven’t lost any since.
They have grown wonderfully."
It cdsts nothing to try Avicol. If you
don’t find that it prevents and promptly
cures white diarrhoea, chick cholera and
all bowel diseases of poultry,.tell us and
your money will be refunded by return
mail. Avicol is sold by most druggists
and poultry remedy dealers, or you can

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
ROSE A, HARTWICK THORPE
England’s sun was' slowly setting
over the hill tops so far away;[
Filling all the earth with beauty ai
the close of one sad day;
And its last rays kissed the forehead
of a man and maiden fair.
He with step so slow and weakened,
• she with sunny floating hair.
He with sad bowed head and silent,
she with lips so cold and white.
Struggling to keep back the murmur.
"Curfew must not ring tonight.’-
“Sexton,” Bessie’s white lips falter
ed. pointing to the prison old.
W ith its walls so dark and gloomy,
walls so dark and damp and cola,
“I've a lover in that prison, doomea
this very night to die
At the ringing of the Curfew, and no
earthly Wielp is nigh.
Cromwell will not come till suns.et.’-
and her face grew strangely
white,
As she spoke in husky whispers,
“Curfew must not ring tonight."
“Bessie,” calmly spoke the sexton—
every word pierced her young
heart
Like a thousand gleaming arrows,
liWb a deadly poisoned dart,
“Long, long years I’ve rung the Cur
few from that gloomy shadowed
tower; •“
Every evening, just at sunset, it has
told the twilight hour;
I have done my duty ever, tried to
do it just and right;
Now I’m old I will not miss it; girl,
the Curfew rings tonight.
Wild her eyes and pale her features,
stern and white her thoughtful
brow.
And within her hearts deep center
Bessie made solemn vow;
She had listened while the judges
read, without a tear of sigh.
“At the ringing of the Curfew, Basil
Underwood miist die,’’
And her breath came fast and fast
er, and her eyes grew large ana
bright,—
One low murmur, scarcely spoken.
‘‘Curfew must not right tonight.”
She with light step bounded forward,
sprang within the old churcn
door,
Left the old man coming slowly,
paths he’d trod so oft before;
Not one moment paused the maiden,
but, with cheek and brow aglow.
Staggered up the gloomy tower,
where the bell swung to and fr<?.
Then she climbed the slimy ladder,
dark, without one ray of light.
Upward still, her pale lips saying.
“Curfew must not ring tonight.'
She has reached the topmost ladder,
o’er her hangs the great dark
bell.
And the awful gloom beneath her.
like the pathway down to hell.
See, the ponderous tongue is swing
ing, ’tis the hour of Curfew now ,
And the sight has chilled her bosom,
stopped her breath and paled her
brow.
Shall she let it ring? No, never;
her eyes flash with sudden lighu.
As she springs and grasps it firmly.
“Curfew shall not ring tonight.’
Out she swung, far out; the city
seemed a tiny speck below:
There ’twixt heaven.and earth sus
pended, as the bell swung tv
and fro;
And the half-deaf sexton ringing
(years he had not heard tht
bell),
Thought that night the twilight Cm
few rang young Basil’s funerai
knell;
Still the maiden clinging firmly.

hair, medium complexion. I, the six
teen-year-old, have dark blue eyes,
golden curly hair and very fair com
plexion. What colors would suit us
best? Is It alright for boys to go
with us occasionally? What does a
boy mean when he winks at a girl
in time of school? When a boy
takes a girl to a drug store and
asks her what she wants, what should
she choose, if she doesn’t want any
certain thing. When a boy goes
home with a girl our age and asks
her if he can kiss her good-night,
syhat Should she say? Is It true
that a mother thinks more of her
sons than her daughters? When a
boy is going home with a girl in
the night and puts his arm around
her, what should she say or do if
he won’t quit at thaf? Please an
swer these questions in The Journal.
Thanking you for your advice.
JACK AND JUNE.
Most any color is suitable to
a young girl with a good com
plexion. Red will be used a
great deal this spring, pretty
blues are always becoming to
youth. Green in light shades is
used very much, too. It is per
fectly proper to have boy friends,
but don’t allow them too mans'
privileges. Young girls seem to
have the idea that because of
, their extreme youth the boys
cart kiss and hug them as much
as they please. It is like tak
ing all the bloom off the peach,
my deaf. When a boy asks you
to hug and kiss him. be firm and
at the same ’time nice. You
needn’t make enemies, you know.
Just say that it is not right and
stick to it.

Conserve Skunk During
The Closed Season
The skunk is not hard to trap, is
not clever with his wits, and often
approaches fitmeness. Because of the
skunk’s liking for the ways of civili
zation and his all-year-round feeling
of neighborliness, farmers and trap
pers sometimes take unfair advant
age of him by hunting and trapping
him out of season.
Summer killing of skunk is both
unnecessary and unwise. To the
trapper a skunk pelt taken in sum
mer is worth little or nothing. The
farmer who goes out to exterminate
the skunk on his land “simply to be
rid of the pest,” is making a mis
take, too. For a skunk on the farm
is a real “anti-pest," helping to get
rid of many rodents, insects, etc.,
that do damage to the crops.
The trapper should rigidly avoid
all out-of-season killing of skunk
and go out of his way as often as
possible to help conserve the supply.
Remember that the skunk is your
real friend, and if properly cared
sot, will yield you big profits year
after year. If you are careless about
this matter and trap indiscriminately,
you are just squandering your own
wealth and depriving yourself of fu
ture revenue.
You should look upon the fur-bear
ing animals of your section as your
fur crop and attend to it carefully
during all seasons, just as you do
to your grain or live stock. Get
all your neighbors and trapper
frientts to co-operate with you in
the interest of fur conservation.
Every trapper should know when
the ahimals in his* neighborhood be
gin to breed.
Take care to preserve the dens,
holes, water houses, etc., of the ani
mals in your section. As far as you
can, keep their haunts natural and
undisturbed. Never trap females, kits
and immature animals, if yoti can
help it, either in season or out. Work
together with your trapper friendr
in the interest of conservation. Form
some kind of a mutual agreement to
protect the fur-bearers.
Most important, convince yourself
that conservation benefits you more
than any othei’ individual. It wiii
help make trapping a permanent oc
cupation, render you bigger profits
each year, and will help to standard- ;
ize th*i fur supply and the fur mar- j
ket.
Test Eggs Twice During i
Period of Incubation
All eggs should be tested at least
twice during the period of incuba
tion, on about the seventh and four- .
.teenth days, and the infertile j
and those containing dead germs re- j
moved, say poultry experts of the
United States department of agricul- i
ture. White eggs can be tested oh
the fourth or fifth day, but the de
velopment in eggs having brown
shells often cannot be seen by the
use of an ordinary egg tester until
the seventh day.
Eggs containing dead germs soon
decay and give off a bad odor if al
lowed to remain in an incubator
Most incubator companies furnish'
with their machines testing chimney •
whicn will fit the incubator lamps.
Electric or gas lamps may be used
in a box with a hole slightly small
er than an egg cut in the side Os th<>
box and at the same level as the
light. *
A good home-made egg tester or
candler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to g4b over a lamp. It is
made by removing the end of the box
and cutting'a hole a little larger than
a quarter in the bottom. When it is
set over a kerosene lamp, the holo ■
in the bottom should be opposite the j
blaze. The lamp chimney should ;
project through the other end of th-- ;
box or a large enough hole be cut ;
to prevent the box from burning.
The eggs are tested with the large
end, so that the size of the air ce,i
as well as the condition Os the em- ;
•fyo may be seen. The testing Should ,
ike place in a dark room. The in- i
'ertile egg, when held before the
;rall hole with the lamp lighted in-.
-1 e the box, will look perfectly clear
o, same as a fresh one. while
"tile egg will show a small dark
>t, known as ftie embryo, with :
ISS of little blood veins extendin’
hll directions, if the embryo is
.’lng. If the embryo is dead the
ood settles away from it toward
•he edges of the yolk, firming in •
some cases an Irregu'ar circle of
blood known as a bleed ri Eggs !
OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
Raising Turkeys
In the beginning let me announce
that I have no eggs to sell, I never
keep more than two hens and sell
the surplus in the fall. They have
been so fine that I’ve never had
Enough to supply the demand. Too
many turkeys cannot be raised
around the home, one must special
ize on them if more than three hens
are kept, for the young ones are
tender creatures and the old ones are
spiteful to the little chickens. I
have a turkey house that is clear
away from thg rest of the poultry
and the young turkeys are kept
there and never come up to my
house until the fields are bare. They
are fed at the barn after they get
grown.
I have never had any experience
with any sort except Bourbon Reds.
Others are Wilder and must be hunt
ed at night. My turkeys roost with
the chickens that use at the barn
and are now laying in a big box
in the corner of the rape patch. A
barn hen will set on the eggs and
if one does not let the turkev hen
set a day after she quits laying
there is not much trouble in break
ing her up.
I take the young turkeys ouc of
the nest as soon as they get rest
less, and take the shells out right
away, for they fill up the nest and
sometimes keep a pipped c&g from
hatching.
I put the hen and her babies in
a dry, free from drafts, house and
keep them there at least two weeks,
then I slide a board than JI have
fixed for them, and they go in and
out about a week. I close it ar. 3
or 4 p. m., and open after 9 a. in.
Then after a week I begin to turn
the mother out with them. They
roam in the cotton field and are fed
twice a day.
Now, about feeding them at first.
I give them eggbread a day old. It
is irt fine crumbs and not in the least
damp. When I take the hen off the
nest I grease her thoroughly with
carbolated vaseline on the top of her
head, under her beak along where the
wing feathers grow, and just below
her vent. Then I handle the young
turkeys like I would a butterfly, for
they do not Stand bruises. Put a bit
of carbolated vaseline on each head,
and where the yolk slips into the
body.
The cause of so many dying is just
plain neglect. The lice come in
eight days. I do not believe In spon
taneous growth out of nothing, but I
never have found out where the lit-
Do You Want to Prevent Malaria?
Drain the Land Around Your Farm
Say malaria and you think of mos
quitoes, for malaria can no more ex
ist without mosquitoes than an air
plane can fly without a motor, for
the mosquito s the motive-power—
the carrier ol malaria.
If you Want malaria, and most of
us know how pleasant it makes one
feel, it is only necessary to have
stagnant water around, for mosqui
toes need that in which to breed.
Conversely if you do not want it, rid
your locality of stagnant water; in
short, get busy on drainage work.
It used to require a lot of labor to
carry out drainage projects. People
preferred to suffer from malaria
rather than incur the expense and
trouble Incident to draining swamps,
ponds, and wet spots generally.
But now there is little excuse for
inaction; little excuse for permitting
malaria conditions to exist.
The public health service is ex
hibiting all over Georgia a motion
picture film showing a ditch blasted
with dynamtite in connection with
the drainage system of Valdosta.
The Macon Daily Telegraph has the
following to say on the subject:
“Valdosta has drained several large
ponds and bays on the outskirts of
th> city that for years furnished an
ample supply of mosquitoes to
harass the residents most of the
year. Despite the wet weather of
last summer whehigave other towns
their worst mosquito season in years,
Valdosta was free from this annoy
ance for the first time in its munici
pal history. The recent marked in
terest in Valdosta manifested by
some large corporations seeking
sruthern locations is partly attrib
uted to the known freedom of the
varj’- in this respect, some showing
only a streak of blood.

germs show only partial develop

outline.
Make Short Work of
Short or Long Grain
Mil'll f * 'Vii.A
TXZHEN some of your grain comes up short and stunted, especially
’ ’ on dry, gravelly knolls, and some of it grows tall and heavy, so that
it lodges and tangles — then you have a harvesting problem—unless you
own a McCormick, Deering, or Milwaukee Grain Binder.
With these binders it is possible to cut stubble —get right
down close to the ground. The curve of the guards and wide range of
platform, adjustment permits doing this. And the reel is designed to
handle grain in any condition. It can be lowered, raised, swung for
ward or thrown back almost instantly to accommodate short, long or
tangled grain. The binding attachment can be adjusted quickly for
short or tall grain, and has a band-placing range of from to.to 24 inches
from the butt of the bundle.
The names McCormick and Deering and Milwaukee are favorably known
wherever there is agriculture. They are guarantees of high quality and operating
efficiency. Almost 90 years of harvesting machine development and satisfactory
service in the fields of the world stand behind the’

tie turkeys get their lice. It is a
“measly” job, but every Tuesday for
six times I grease my young turkeys.
Don’t try to put two sizes together
until they are a month old, the
larger one will surely, surely run
over the small ones.
I give them hard clabber. Let the
whey drip some for their first meal.
It’s white and their curiosity will
prompt them to peck at it. They get
that before I put them with the hen.
She is filling up on corn and run
ning around in a chicken coop.
Some people give their young tur
keys black pepper,in their first feed.
If mine did not have a warm place,
and if the hen was not ready to
hover them right away I might do
that, too. I give them a half -tea
spoonful of mix vomica in a crumbly
dough made of meal and water the
morning before I turn them out that
first time.. Then when the hen is
turned out I again feed them nux
vomica. I give a half a teaspoonful
ta fifteen. The hen eats some of
course.
Hawks are nesting now, so it is
the wise thing to buy a quarter’s
worth of powdered nux vomica and
begin to feed the young chickens,
even frying size.
For the chickens I Use one heap
ing teaspoonful of the powdered nux
vomica to a pint of meal. Make a

swer on an average of five letters a
day on poultry subjects, and am al
ways glad to help, but get a long,
or large envelope, all sort# of things
come in them, write “Poultry” on
it, and slip in it any item you or
your neighbors may need.
This letter is an answer to several
letters I have recently received say
ing, “Please tell me how to raise
.young turkeys. Tell me from the
start to finish.” I neglected to say,
when I was on the subject of feed
ing, that I give them onion tops and
lettilce from the very first. ,1 have
a pair of scissors that hang on a
nail in their house and I cut the
tops fine. They do not like the stale
pieces so I begin with one blade of
onion and as they grow I increase
the amount. If a community will
buy the nux vomica the hawks will
soon be missing.
rity from malaria. South Georgia
had much malaria • during the tall
months, according to statistics, but
Valdosta was entirely free because
the mosquito breeding ponds had
been drained.
“A city official states that the cost
of the blasting ditches which have
been so effective was less than the
sum required to screen adequately
residences of the town not now s_>
equipped. City Engineer Gainey has
been using prdinary labor in the
work and ditch-blasting requires so
few hands for even large operations
that the scarcity of help lias not af
fected progress. The ditches have
been run through swamps where
hand work was impossible and sev
eral hundr. l yards of main drains
of large size have been opened up in
a day by a small crew.”
The new method so simplifies
drainage that it is not necessary to
wait for community movements to
improve drainage. On the contrary,
any individual farmer blessed with
a mosquito-breeding hole on his
farm may proceed to drain it by
blasting a ditch and. In. fact, many
farmers all over the country are al
ready doing that very thing for there
is no scarcity of dynamite, even if
there is no labor.
It takes but on,, man to blast a
ditch. The only foal work attached
to it ft; sinking t|in two inch holes
into which the charges are loaded.
Even that is not hard work in
■swampy soil.
United States county agents all
through the- country are beCOmlnS
familiar with this method of ditch
ing.

Foresters Test Wireless
’Phone; Plan Works Fine
Preliminary tests of the wireless
telephone by officers of the forest
service, United States department of
agriculture, in the vicinity of Port
land, Oreg..’lead to the belief that
this invention can be utilized exten
sively in the national forests, espe
cially in fire-prevention work. While
it is recognized that there are con
ditions limiting Wireless telephone
transmission, the results so far are
pronounced very satisfactory.
One of the sets used in the tests
was installed on Mount Hood, Ore.,
where the problem of providing a sat
isfactory support fdr the antennae
Wtts a difficult one. since a mast was
needed which would be strong enough
to resist the seventy or eighty-mile
gales that sweep the mountains. At
the same time the mast had to be
light enough for the men to be able
to raise and lower it before and
after sleet storms. A fifty-foot bam
boo pole was finally selected as the
support.
In the telephone conversations be
tween the sets, some of which were
ten miles apart, the voice carried very
clearly and was about as loud as over
a wire line. Telegraph signals from
many stations scattered over the
continent were picked up. On Mount
Hood they often were so loud as to
be audible in any part of the cabin.
