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.

Interbreeding the Greatest Danger at Present. New Blood Needed. By JUDGE F. J. MARSHALL- Model of Pest Enlarged 64,000 Times Is Shown in a New York 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.

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. School Teacher Says “Yes” to Scientist Who Goes to Arctic With MacMillan Party. 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 ing “no." Miss Augusta May Krieger. of Peoria, yo.ung graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois scientist, has been announced; Ekblaw will depart in June as a member of the MacMillan Arctic ex pedition for a dangerous journey to the greatest unexplored region in the Arctic circle. Crocket* Land, a. terri tory half a million miles square, is the goal of the; explorers. Three years is the time allotted. Ekblaw is to be scientist. Fate lias dealt harshly with scientists on re cent polar expeditions. Marvin, of the Peary pole-winning trip, was drown ed. Schei, Nansen's servant, died soon after returning ^before he had an opportunity to compile his data, and advices from Norway tell of the failure of a German Arctic expedi tion. But fikblaw was not daunted. He gained the reluctant consent of his father and mother. There was yet the young woman with whom he was a. "pal" in college. Would shp consent to waif? She would. Ekblaw is certain that he can win success with a girl \ 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 the host ‘hazer’ v.ound Hyannis. The ‘hazer’ on a ranch is the rider who steers a bucking broncho that is be ing broken. He follows at the heels of the regular ‘buster,’ and when the broncho is seen to be headed for a barbed w ire fence or any other dan ger, he must so maneuver as to push his own mount between it and the threatened danger. This job is one for a full-sized man. Miss Lynch the only woman ‘hazer’ irj the county. Miss Lynch’s main object in carry ing a lariat is to assist an animal 1n distress.

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, where th* pullets aro early hatched PASTOR TO CONDUCT FARM LECTURES IN HIS CHURCH FULTON, MO.. April 26.—Hev.

Mr. Brooks is engaged in the coal business and weighs his wares by touch. He be-' lieves that a blind man can care for himself in the world despite his mis fortune, and his platform as voiced at the Peoples Party Convention, when he was nominated by a vote that was twice that of the two oppos ing candidates, is: Equal rights to all and special privileges to none.” Mr. Brooks is well informed on all current subjects, acquiring his knowl edge through the minds of others end listening to lectures and having friendy read aloud to him from books not translated Into the language of the blind.

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.

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. _ Fbm from CooBemed Ntrsw Frwcb-bed Strain Excw, Sweating and Bad Odor ^Mushroom Corns Flat Corn, Conn t Between Too* Tells Positive Cure For Ail Foot Troubles Science has proven that nearly all foot trouble* originated from a com mon cause: that of injured tissues.
