WANT TO KNOW. 
If you have ever heard of making syrup 
from watermelons I would like to know 
about it, as I want to try it. w. l. h. 
Niles, Mich. 
Will you ask some of your readers to give 
me their experience with the Premo dew¬ 
berry and also the Austin Improved? I am 
a grower of Lueretia dewberries but now I 
hear that these new kinds are one week 
earlier. I want to know the truth and how 
they will stand the Winter of New Jersey, 
and if they are worth planting. If they are 
I want to set out about 10 acres.

What Ails the Turkeys? —Will some of 
the turkey raisers give a beginner some ad¬ 
vice? Last Winter I had a pair of turkeys 
(White Hollands) given me, so I thought I 
would try my luck at hatching time, al¬ 
though I have always heard they were very 
hard to raise. I used hens to hatch with, 
getting very nearly every egg; hatched out 
about 40, lost all but 23 quite young on ac¬ 
count of cold wet weather I suppose, but 
when the weather warmed up they came 
along well, grew fast and seemed to be in 
the best of health until about a week ago, 
when one or two began to get droopy, two 
dying yesterday, and several more are ailing 
now which I think will die: they are now 
10 or 12 weeks old. They had free range 
until about three weeks ago; since then they 
have been yarded each day. up to two or 
three o’clock in the afternoon. I opened 
those that have died and find a spotted 
liver. I starved them on hard-boiled eggs, 
followed with chick feed and later with 
whole wheat; they have had sour milk curd 
all the time; have fed no other soft feed. 
Bowels have been in good condition. Some¬ 
thing I have done is undoubtedly wrong, and 
a reply to this would be greatly appreciated.

The following members of the New 
York Senate voted against Governor 
Hughes in his efforts to remove the Su¬ 
perintendent of Insurance. They repre¬ 
sent agricultural counties, where farmers 
are in a majority. Every one of them 
merits defeat, and should be plowed un¬ 
der by the votes of farmers. Send them 
to the political graveyard at the first op¬ 
portunity :

Poisons for Kii.lin 
Plants. —J. P. D., 
Madison, Ind„ wants to know if there is any¬ 
thing that can be made into a solution and 
sprinkled with a sprinkling can that will 
kill poison ivy.In an effort to kill the water 
hyacinth in the St. John’s River, spraying 
was tried, using white arsenic one pound, 
soda two pounds, dissolved in 12 gallons of 
water. Dissolve the arsenic by boiling, say 
in five gallons of water, then adding the 
soda in enough water to make 12 gallons. I 
do not give this as the correct formula, but 
I think it will work. Just get the arsenic 
and soda dissolved in 12 gallons of water, 
and spray it on the ivy. The soda eats holes 
in the cuticle of the leaf, and the arsenic is 
taken up in the tissue and kills the plant. 
Its use on the water hyacinth was stopped, 
as cattle eating the hyacinths after they 
were sprayed were poisoned and died. This 
work was done by the United States Govern¬ 
ment and I was told by the superintendent 
in charge that it would kill any plant.
