GOOD JERSEY STOCK . 
On the first page will be found a pic¬ 
ture of our correspondent, J. Grant 
Morse, and two of his Jersey heifers. Of 
these young things Mr. Morse says: 
“These are rather ‘long’ yearlings that 
will be two years old this Fall. They 
will come fresh in the late Fall, after 
they go into Winter quarters. They 
ought to make some good Winter milk¬ 
ers.” _ 
THOSE SICK TURKEYS. 
Concerning those ailing turkeys I 
wrote about on page 676, at that time 
my trouble was only beginning. They 
continued to die of the same trouble, 
numerous abscesses on liver, mottled and 
broken down; heads dark in color, etc. 
During this time I was inquiring and 
reading up my old poultry papers until 
I became positive blackhead was my 
trouble, a malignant, contagious disease 
of turkeys, that there was no help when 
once affected, and offering no remedy, I 
had about now given up all hopes for a 
big one for Thanksgiving. Since then, 
in reply to my article in The R. N.-Y., 
one or two correspondents have sug¬ 
gested remedies, others giving interesting 
information as to their general care, feed, 
etc. Thanks to them all, as such is a 
great help to the inexperienced. As I 
said, the birds continued to die one by 
one, until one day I was relating my 
troubles to an old poultryman. He said, 
“Try red pepper; nothing better for 
cholera in chickens, and your trouble is 
something similar.” I had four left, two 
not badly affected, the other two next to 
dead. They would droop around a pan 
of water all day and night, too, if left, 
so I put these two into a large box 
and began my pepper; made their drink¬ 
ing water pretty hot. They began their 
medicine and continued taking at 15- 
minute intervals, so to speak, as they are 
very dry in this disease. In a couple of 
days I could notice a little improvement, 
not only in their appearance, but in their 
discharges, which when affected were 
watery and yellow as Indian meal. Their 
appetite was also improving. I gave 
them boiled rice and continued my pep¬ 
per treatment for 10 days or two weeks, 
keeping their box clean and using lice 
powder freely during this time. They 
had improved, in fact, to all appearance 
(only poor) were as well as ever, and are 
now large nice birds. I did not confine 
the other two, but gave them the same for 
drink. One correspondent asks why did I 
yard them? In reply I will say “hawks,” 
but hereafter I prefer fighting hawks to 
blackhead. I fully agree with her that 
this was the cause of all my trouble, 
high feeding and lack of exercise, as the 
experts tell us this is liable to cause 
liver trouble, and if only one bird is af¬ 
fected, it will spread rapidly if fed in 
yard or run, the ground being saturated 
with the discharges, containing the ba¬ 
cilli from the infected bird. Another 
correspondent asks the meaning of 
“starving them on hard boiled eggs.” 
That was a mistake and should read 
started. If some of those people here in 
Massachusetts who have been writing up 
bills for a bounty on foxes and trying 
to get them before the legislature at Bos¬ 
ton will turn their attention to hawks, I 
think they will meet with better success, 
as there are 25 chickens killed by hawks 
where one is killed by foxes. In my 
number of years with poultry I have 
never lost but one by foxes to my knowl¬ 
edge ; however, I keep a dog and would 
keep half a dozen if it would keep away 
the hawks. F. r. l.

“An agnostic,” replied Uncle George, “is

nothing, and abuses you if you believe 
him.—Credit Lost. 
A Standing Shock.— The shock of 
corn shown at Fig. 409 was put up to stay. 
First an armful of corn was set up and 
well tied. Then three more such bundles 
A STANDING SHOCK. Fig. 409. 
were put around the first and tied again, 
after which the shock was finished as 
usual. It will stand up against any wind 
and hold its own. 
A story is current concerning a pro¬ 
fessor who is reputed to be slightly 
absent-minded. The learned man had ar¬ 
ranged to escort his wife one evening to 
the theatre. “I don’t like the tie you 
have on. I wish you would go up and 
put on another,” said his wife. The pro¬ 
fessor tranquilly obeyed. Moment after 
moment elapsed until finally the impa¬ 
tient wife went upstairs to learn the 
cause of delay. In his room she found 
her husband undressed and getting into 
bed. Habit had been too much for him 
when he took off his tie.—London Tit- 
Bits. 
SKIN SORE FOR 8 YEARS 
Spent $300 on Doctors and Reme¬ 
dies But Got No Relief—Work 
Often Impossible—Trouble Gone 
Cured In a Week By Cuticura. 
“Up to a week or so ago I had tried 
many other remedies and several doctors, 
and spent about three hundred dollars, 
without any success, but this is to-day 
the seventh day that I have been using 
the Cuticura Remedies (costing $1.50), 
which have cured me completely, so that 
1 could work again to-night. My trouble 
was as follows:—Upon the limbs and 
between the toes my skin was rough and 
sore, and also sore under the arms, 
and I had to stay at home several times 
because of this affection. I had been 
suffering for eight years and have now 
been cured by the Cuticura Remedies 
within a week. I shall recommend it to 
my friends. Fritz Hirsehlaff, 24 Colum¬
