Missouri and a Few Adjoining
States Show Great Promise,
Expert Declares.
CHICAGO. Apytl 26.—A. Twining,
ihe head of a Michigan root-raising
association, says that the State of
Missouri gives wonderful promise in
this branch of agriculture.
Mr. Twining says our woodlande
are being depleted, and with the
turning of the land Into raising
standard crops the supply of the dif
ferent kinds of roots used for medic
inal purposes have gone, so that to
maot the demand for these roots the
production of them on farms or lots
has opened the way for an immense
business.
He says, for instance, that golden
leal root formerly brought 68 cents
a pound, and the only part used was
the root. Now the same root brings
*4 a pound, and the item and leaves
are now being utilized. It is the same
with snakeroot and plnkroot, all of
which are bringing much more money
'ban formerly, and there are other
roots, the hunting of which once pro
dded an avocation for a small army
of hunters for roots, rendered scarce
by the cutting of American timber.
Ginseng the Leader.
While there is a great variety of
roots being produced under conditions
as near as possible to the state under
Which they grow In the woods gin
seng is the leader of all, and In order
■Cl show the proportions to which the
culture has advanced it is only nec
essary to quote some of the figures
of government compilation. The pro
duction in the United States for five
years show:
1907 117,696 pounds, which brought
1813.023.
1908, 154,180 pounds, which brought
$1,111,994.
1909 186,257 pounds, which brough'
$1,270,179.
1910, 192,406 pounds, which brought
$1,439,434.
1911, 163,999 pounds, which brought
$1,088,202.
Value On increase.
These figures show that In the first
of the five years the root brought
about $6.05 a pound, while in the
last of the five years, during which
more than 36,000 pounds, more than
the first year were raised, the price
was a trifle less than $7.06 a pound-
in other words, increased production
brought an increased price per pound.
This is explained from the fact that
much more is known about the cul
ture, the experts of several of the
best known agricultural colleges have
been making valuable experiments
and the growers themselves are pro
ducing better roots.

Health Exhibition.
NEW YORK., April 26.—The dead
ly house fly is fully pictured and rep
resented in the new' Hall of Public
Health at the American Museum ot
Natural History.
A vivid representation of its abil
ity is shown by 100 little soldiers
placed before a bottle in which there
is a representation of a typhoid
germ. Near by are signs and indica
tions which drive home the lesson
that of 100 soldiers in the Spanish
War twelve became ill of typhoid
fever and one died.
Near by is a cannon with 100 sol
diers before it. The signs show' that
of the 100 only one man was injured
despite all of the firing of the war,
and none was killed. Thus the house
fly is shown in the case of the
Spanish War to have been more
deadly than the arms and artillery.
The fly is shown in all of his
harmfulness, despite the impression
that he is insignificant and harm
less.
There is a model of the house fly
as large as a chouse cat which
has cost nine months of labor by
Ignatz Matausch, a model maker
at the Museum. The big model is
on a scale 64,000 times that of the
ordinary fly. The proportions have
been presented with great care, Mr
Matausch having made his drawings
of parts from dissections. An en
largement of the foot of the fly 1,500
diameters is shown in a painting.
It shows the typhoid bacilli of
which the fly is the carrier on the
claw-like tip of the member.
The exhibit also deals with other
diseases which are a danger to the
health of society and which can easi
ly be removed or greatly reduced by
sanitary efforts.

Such Is Message From Arkansas
Man to Marketing

INSTRUCTIONS TO BURGLARS

WILKES-BARRE, April 26.—The
eigar store of John J. McDevitt. fa
mous as the “millionaire for a day,”
was robbed during the night, and
" hen the ex-plutocrat awoke to-day
discovered that much of his stock
■iad been carried away, along with
$18 In cash.
Some time ago the store was
robbed. Following this McDevitt ad
dressed a public letter to the bur-
jars. in which he told them just
how they should enter and leave the
place. The midnight visitors took

CHICAGO, April 26.—That farmers
need business brains in their work of
preparing and marketing their prod
ucts was the statement made by H. S.
Mobely, of Arkansas, before the Na
tional Conference of Marketing and
Farm Credits. Mobely for the last
twenty yea rs lias been organizing the
farmers in Arkansas and gave it as
his opinion that business men in
farming communities should co-oper-
ate with the farmers in marketing
farm products.
The Arkansas plan organization, as
explained by Mobely. consists of a
general farmers’ union with auxilia
ries in every community. These auxii
iar’ies are headed in most cases by a
business man and financed by jocal
money or funds from the State. Uni
versity. A business man in each com-
munity sees that the farmers are in-
structed in propertj packing their
products and getting them to the rail
roads. He then sees that the cars are
rifioved by the railroads lo the most
advantageous market.
The idealistic plan, according to
Mobely, would be to have each farm
ing community own its own cars and
ship them to points where the prod
ucts could be secured.
A paper by B. F. Yoakum, chair-
man of the Board of Directors of the
Frisco lines, was real. He declared
the problem of transportation was
the greatest now confronting the
farmers According to Yoakum, the
railroads will be compelled to con
struct 165,000 miles of railroad west
of the Mississippi River ip order to
meet the demands of crop transpor
tation. The waste in farm products
due to the farmer's inability to get
his products to the market, he as
serted, amounted to $4,785,000,000 an
nually.
TELEGRAPHER TIES UP
RAILROAD FOR A JOKE
SMART, CAL., April 26.—J. W. Kel
ley, a Southern Pacific telegrapher,
was arrested here after he had tied
up trains for some hours and neces
sitated the sending of a special train
from Blue Canyon with railroad
police and a dispatcher.
Kelly, who is alleged to have been
drinking, amused himself by taking
charge of the direction of traffic along
the line. He is said to have ignored
official messages and substituted oth
ers more to his liking, until rail and
wire service waff so demoralized that
all trains on the division were or
dered to hold sidings until the sys
tem could be cleared. After the ar
rival of the special trail, and arrest
of Kelly some time was requli -d to
readjust the running schedules and
get traffic moving again.
Kelly later was released, it being
found there was no specific charge
that would cover his shortcoming.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL., . April 26.—
Most American girls would refuse an
engagement lasting three years. If
they knew that in all that time they
would never see the man of their
choice, would never receive a mes
sage or a letter, and, indeed, would
not know if he was alive or dead,
they could hardly be blamed for say

Last Year She Cut 1,100 Tons of
Hay, Worth in the Omaha
Market Over $15,000.
HYANNIS, NEB., April 26.—Ten
years ago Miss Helen Lynch was a
student in the high schools at Omaha.
To-day she owns and personally
operates a cattle ranch of 10,000 acres
in this country, on which are thou
sands of cattle and 100 horses and
“cow ponies*” The ranch is known
as the “O-H," and cattle bearing that
brand can be seen in the live stock
markets of Omaha, Chicago and Kan
sas City.
Miss Lynch did not graduate from
the Omaha schools, but she made a
success of the business to which she
devoted herself upon the death of her
father, ten years ago.
Thomas Lynch left a little property
In the shape of a small ranch out in
the “sand hills’ country, a widow' and
four children. At a family council
after the funeral Helen announced
her intention of quitting school and
devoting her attention to the small
ranch. Air. Lynch had often said that
Helen had good business sense, and
the mother gave her consent.
“No long range management for
me," said Helen. “I’m going out to
the ranch and. live on it.”
And she did. Her father had many
friends out on the range, and they
were glad to advise her. She was
able to separate the good from the
bad. So she prospered and the ranch
grew from the small affair left by the
father to the 10,000-acre domain of
to-day.
“Last year Heien cut 1,100 tons of
hay, worth in Omaha more than
$15,000. At the beginning there was
considerable trouble with cattle
rustlers.’ A number of ranchmen
got together and determined to wipe
them out, and several of her cow
boys lent their aid. Since then no
cattle have been ‘rustled.’
“Miss Helen is an expert horse
woman, and is in the saddle almost
constantly. She is her own manager,
buys her own cattle and takes them
to market. She uses a big ‘Miles
City’ saddle, carries a iariat at the
pommel and a revolver in a holster.
She wears a divided skirt, a pair of
boots that reach to her knees and a
large soft white hat. She can use
the lariat wdth any cow-boy on the
range and is a good shot. She is

A MERICA has not contributed
perhaps so liberally to the
world's store of poultry breeds.
Those which she has given us are
deservedly popular. The turkey
holds a prominent place among these.
In fact she stands at the head of the
line worthy of all the praise that
can be given her. Other countries
have tried In vain to locate the tur
key as a native of their land, but
there is no question in the minds
of the students of nature that
America is the turkey’s place
of nativity. While it is raised
in various countries of the
world there is no doubt that
there are more turkeys (and better
ones) raised in America than in
the balance of the world combined.
In America the turkey in its wild
state was generally pretty well dis
tributed from Canada to Mexico, and
from Maine to California.
It differed quite a little in various
parts of the country. Through the
central states It seemed to attain to
the greatest size and in color a red
dish bronze.
The Mexican wild turkey ran to
gorgeous colors with the peacock
blue eye spots over the back and tall.
It was often confounded with
the peacock, but there was no rea
son for it, as it was an entirely dif
ferent fowl.
Hondurous Variety.
The Hondurous turkey was of this
specie. According to Dr. Baird the
chief difference between the turkeys
of Mexico and the south and those
of the Northern United States la that
those of the South have a band of
creamy white or silver pray across
the feathers of the lower part of the
body and tail, while in the northern
variety it is chestnut or a chestfiut
brown.
The turkey is semi-migratory In
its habits. In fact the pleantifuiness
or scarcity of food determines the
■matter almost entirely. If the food
supply runs short in the section
where they arc hatched or located
they will then begin to extend their
range of foraging from day to day.
and if the supply of food increases as
they advance they will soon cease
to go far back to their old haunts
to roost but take up new quarters.
Their food consists of corn, wheat,
berries, fruits,, grass, grass seed,
acorns, beech nuts etc. During these
migratory trips they often encounter
large streams or rivers, and a pecu
liar thing about them at this point
is that they will gather upon the
banks and remain for a number of
days in a very restless state, the
males gobbling almost continuously
while the females feed here and
there, but only a short distance from
the river at any time. They usually
Choose the early morning for the trip
over the river. While yet In the tops
of the highest trees on the river
bank at a given signal from one of
the male leaders they will launch
forth with a whirr of wings and
soon all are safely on the farther
side. The vantage point from which
they drop at the rtart greatly aids
them in their flight for the other
shore.
Although the wild turkey is get
ting very scarce in its wild state,
yet it will surely not meet the fate
of the buffalo, for many lovers of
good stock are breeding them. In
some cases with great success. In
some parts of Virginia men have
provided Jungles for them to breed
and live in. These vigorous wild
fowls are used for top-crossing the
bronze and other native stock. It
/gives them real vigor and stamina
for growth.
Weight About 20 Pound*.
The usual weights of these wild
turkeys are'from 15 to 20 pounds for
males and 10 to 12 for females.
"Rnrmirwr ■fnY* OfFlPO Males have been known to weigh as
XbUillllilg 1UI V-l-LlLC high as 35 pounds, but these are rare
instances, and are usually -males five
or six years old.
The hen is very shy in movements
at laying time and hides her nest
almost past finding by the average
person, being generally located in
some dense thicket or underbrush,
where she goes to lay each time
starting from a different point of the
compass, moving so stealthily that
scarcely a sound can be heard from
her. She usually lays from eight to
a dozen egg* before setting upon
them. The eggs are a brownish cream
color, well specked over with a darker
brown. In size the eggs usually run
about three or four to the pound
They are very firm. thick-shelled and
not easily broken. Twenty-eight days
is the allotted time given to hatch
theBe eggs. The fact that one suc
cessful treading from the male Is suf
ficient to fertilize all the eggs in one
clutch has led many persons in a
neighborhood to use the same niHto.
This being done year after year has
caused all the flocks raised in that
section to be related. While this has
been considered economical, and is in
a wav, yet it has caused inbreeding
to such an extent that it has greatly
lowered the vitality of each individ
ual flock and has made the raising of
turkevs in these sections' of the coun
try quite a task. It is a practice that
should be abolished. Turkey growers
should get a change of males from
a distance. Or they should at least
know that the tom used is not re
lated to tha hens. When turkeys are
properly mated success la almost as
sured. By that we mean that they
should be mated with a view to
strength and stamina, without which
you might as well not attempt the
work at all.
Hstis Should Be Wall.
Hens should be of good size for the
breed or kind used. A slim or weakly
one should not be used under any
circumstances. Apparently more de
pends upon the size and type of the
hens than upon that of the male. We
always preferred hens in their second
year, especially for raising the breed
ers wo were to keep over for our own
use the next season. If yearlings
are used they should be hatched as
early in the spring as posplble, allow
ing them to become well matured by
the next breeding season. Good two-
year-old coek3 should bo used when
convenient, but not with young hens,
especially of the Bronze or White
Holland, as they are so heavy they
are likely to break the young hens
down and destroy their usefulness for
the rest of the season. Of course,

CONVICT FALLS HEIR
TO $2,200 FROM UNCLE
and well matured they ran stand
such a mating all right. To secure
a uniform Hock of young ones it is
essential that the male be of the same
general type as the females. In other
words, see that the male is not of a
long-legged, gangling type and the
hens short-legged and bloeky. Mat
ing of extremes will usually produce
a flock of which no two are alike.
For profit in feeding the heavy,
bloeky type Is the more profitable.
The hens will usually lay two clutches
of eggs if not allowed to hatch her
young at the first laying period. It
is, however, better to have the tur
key hens do the hatching as they can
do so much better at raising the
young ones than any chicken hen.
You should not attempt to yard the
breeding stock if you would have a
healthy, profitable flock. Should the
hens incline to roam too far from
homo at laying time they might be
yarded nights and until, say 10 o'clock
In the morning after they have laid.
Barrels Make Good Neste.
Small barrels turned down upon
their sides make the finest nests
when bedded with straw or litter of
some kind. As the laying progresses
two or three eggs of siotne kind should
be placed in the nest to prevent the
hen from becoming restless from the
idea that some enemy is raiding her
nest. When the lien becomes broody
she should be allowed to set three or
four days before placing eggs under
her. At the end of the first week the
hens and nest should be thoroughly
dusted with some good lice powder,
and again about two days before the
hatch is due. This precludes the pos
sibility of the young ones being over
run with these pests and put out of
business before they even get a start.
Young poults are very tender and
every precaution should be used to
prevent them from being bothered
by this greatest of all pests.
Do you know that there are more
turkeys sent down and out by the lice
and mite route than by all other
troubles combined, but a great many
owners are not aware of what the
real trouble is. For this reason the
growing poults should be thoroughly
dusted with the powder at least once
a month during the summer.
When hatching commences the hen
should not bq disturbed until she
seems ready to come off the nest of
her own free will. Have prepared
a Rmall yard or pen. made by placing
upon edge one by twelve inch boards
about ten feet long. Three of them
will make a triangular pen of stif
flclent size to accommodate a brood
as long as they need to stay in such
a place. A barrel turned upon its
side makes a good roosting place.
TV) hen is given her liberty, but, will
not go far from the pen so long as
the little ones can not get out. When
they get old enough to fly over the
little enclosure they will be sufficient
ly strong to have their liberty and
run at will, except that they must b«
taken care of nights and made to
roost at home. Some fharp sand or
grit must be placed inside the en
closure for grit. They may be fed
upon sour milk curd or Dutch cheese.
aB It Is sometimes called: oiled eggs,
dry bread and sweet milk. A l'*tle
roiled oats, dry, once a day. As soon
as they begin to show feather* start
insr in the wings and tall it will be
all right to give them corn meal and
dry bread, half and half, mixed with
milk. Give not a scrap more than
they will eat up clean. Dampness
is fatal to young and growing turks,
so that it is economy to look after
them pretty closely, driving them in
to shelter before heavy rains.
When they attain the age of two
or three months they are able to roam
at. will and rains will not hurt them.
