The 75 Turkeys 
r..Tst week we "printed a picture of Sen- 
:itor Elon K. Brown, his flock of 75 tur¬ 
keys, and Geo. W. Perkins. Mr. Perkins 
fluoDxl Senator Browu’,s turkey story to 
jirove that the markets are manipulated. 
Tlie Albany Kuickerbocker-Press prints 
the following. We ivoiider if Senator 
Brown paid bis fare to New York on 
this investigation trip with a .‘lo-cent 
riollar ! 
“We do not know where these turkeys 
were hatched, gi’oomed, luind fed and made 
ready for the Thanksgiving dinner table— 
but it all took place, presumably, in the 
rear room of the Senator’ law ofiice in 
Watertown. 
“What bothers us is this: Perkins 
charges that the Senator ‘tried to get !i 
hid fi’om several dealers in New York 
City, but they all refused to take his tur¬ 
keys. saying the market was glutted.’ 
“Why should Senator Brown try to 
sell his 75 hand-fed birds in New York 
Pity and thereby deprive his constituents 
of their just dues? 
“Mr. Perkins further charges that the 
Senator put on his coouskiu cap and paid 
his fare from Watertown to New York 
Mi'll iM’turn. just to find out that turkeys 
were sel'iiig ill Gotham 'fur a.s high a 
price as over,’ which was some cents 
lower than turkeys were selling in Wa¬ 
tertown. 
“Mr. I’erkius says there was a ‘secret 
understanding.’ But we want to know 
what became of those 75 birds. 
“The trouble with Perkins as a novelist 
is that he plunges his readers in to a 
‘secret’ and never takes them out. 
“If Senator Brown paid his fare from 
Watertown to New York—pai<l for his 
stay in New Y'Di’k at the Waldorf-Astoria 
for a week investigating the turkey mar¬ 
ket, and then paid his way back to Wa¬ 
tertown—what Imiipenod to the valiant 
75 turks upon his return? 
“You leave the people up-State very 
much in the dark, Mr. I’erkius, very 
much in the dark.” 
Indian Runners Cease Laying 
I have some Indian Runner ducks, 
yoai’lings, that have been laying well dur¬ 
ing the Spring and Summer until about 
a week ago, when they quit entirely. 
They look as if they were losing some of 
their feathers. Is this the time of year 
when tliey molt, and would that account 
for their stopping laying? Is there a 
prospect of their laying again before next 
Spring? This is my first experience with 
ducks. J. B. T. 
Connecticut. 
Y'ou Avill probably get sonic eggs from 
your' Runners tliis Fall, although that 
will depend upon the care and feed that 
.vou give them and the ancestors of t?\e 
ducks. There are good-laying and poor¬ 
laying strains even among Runner ducks. 
The loss of feathers that you mention is 
dquhtless the hegiuuing of their molt. 
AV. H. a. 
Give the Farmers a Chance 
Coiitiuued from page lO.oO.) 
that you have to .stand. If I am re¬ 
fused exi’inptioii and have to leave by the 
end of September, I shall Avalk away 
from as fine a crop of corn as one 
could have and lot it stand in the field, 
maybe to stand there and rot. I shall 
have to sell evi-rytliing at a heavy loss 
if I am refused exemption. 
I have tliree cows coming fresh Avithin 
the ni’xt month. I have 17 hogs, 11 head 
of milch cows and •’UK) chickens, beside 
do some trucking and always plant Avheat 
and rye. so you c.an see that I am hard 
hit. If tlii'v want to I'efii.se US farmers 
exemption, tliey ouglit to leave us on the 
farm till the first of the year at least, 
in order to give us a chance to harvest 
our corn crops, and to plant our fields 
to Avheat and rye to keep them from 
Avasliiiig away, so if Ave return we Avill 
still have onr land that avo Avorki'd so 
hard to kei'p in siunie. If I have to go, 
my farm Avill sure remain idle. If I do 
not get my lic'lds in Avheat and rye my 
seven years’ hard work can be Avashed 
away in one Winter, and if they are 
planted to wheat and rye and then seeded 
to clovi’i’ and grass, I Avill find my farm 
•as I left it. I appeal to you to try to 
do something for us farmers. If we can¬ 
not get exemption Ave ought to he given 
at lea.st time to harvest onr crops. 
Clermont Co., Ohio, george albeiit. 
The officer of the day, during his tour 
of duty, paused to question u sentry 
who Avas a new recruit. “If you should 
see an armed party approaching, what 
AA’ould you do?” asked the officer. “Turn 
out the guai'd, sir.” “Very Avell. Sup¬ 
pose you saAv a battleship coming across 
the parade ground, Avhat Avouhl you do?” 
“Report to the hospital for examination,

SPECIAL NOTICE 
We believe every advertiser In oor Poultry Department la 
honest and reliable. Wo stand back of these classified adver- 
tiseinonts with our ** Squaro Deal Guarantee/ as we do the 
display advertisements. Those purohusm.r eggs forbatchins 
and baby chicks must understand that they are assuminfir 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the most part 
eggs and chicks carry safely, but sometimea rough handling 
by the expreso companies or exposure to heat and cold causes 
damage. That eggs fail to hatch or chicks die is not conclusive 
evidence of bad faith on tho part of the seller, and we ahall 
oot consider claims on that basis. To avoid controversy 
buyer and seller should have a definite understanding as to 
the rcHponsibility assumed in case of dlssatisfactioo. 
Abortion 
In Cattle 
High Meat and Milk Prices 
Make Abortion Control 
Doubly Necessary 
Authorities are alarmed at the iu- 
creasiug losses caused by coutagious 
abortion. Some state it is cau.siiig 
more damage to live stock than tuber¬ 
culosis. 
Careful breeders are realizing that 
meat and milk products will contiuue 
to mean more and more money to them. 
They are accordingly takiug active steps 
to systematically and efficiently stamp 
out abortion from their herds. 
Research men of the U. S. Govern¬ 
ment and other institutions assert that 
tln-re is no absolute Abortion “cure,” 
but all authorities agree that abortion 
can be conti’olled and the losses stopped. 
No scrum or vaccine has been found 
that gives any protection. These au¬ 
thorities all recommend that a thor¬ 
ough system of sanitation be followed 
on every farm, including treatment of 
bull, cows, calves and buildings. This 
is the only certain means of control¬ 
ling and preventing Abortion—Sterility 
—|l’remature Birth — Retained After 
Birth in cows and White Scours in 
calves. These all seem to be symp¬ 
toms showing the presence of Abor¬ 
tion germs. 
Ill the case of abortion its(*lf the 
germs inhabit and develop in the al¬ 
buminous nialter in the tissue lining 
of the uterus and vagina and here is 
where the light for control must be 
efficiently and systematically waged. The 
germs produce an acid slime or discharge 
wliidi eats the lining of the uterus and 
viigina and prevents healing of the torn, 
raw, membrane. 
To coi-rect this condition, B-K, the 
powerful antiseptic, used a.s a douche, 
kill.s the abortion germs, dissolve,s the 
albumin, i-emoves the slime, neutralizes 
the acid, cleans the tis.sue and thereby 
puts the organs in a condition for natu¬ 
ral healing. 
B-K does not irritate, but is soothiug 
ami healing to torn membranes, and 
does not cause .straining. Other sul>- 
stanccs such as carbolic acid, cresol, 
iodine, etc., tire more or less irritating, 
do not dissolve albumins, but tend to 
coagulate or thicken them, thereby 
preventing destruction of tho germs 
and thorough cleansing of tho infected 
tissues. 
B-K is a powerful germ-killer. Its 
reniarkable germ-killing strength is 
plainly marked and guaranteed on ev¬ 
ery package. _B-K contains no poison, 
acid nor oil—it is clear' and clean as 
water and as easy to use. B-K may 
be used freely in the drinking water, 
helping to destroy the germs which 
accuninlate in tho tanks; may also* be 
used effectively to disinfect the bull 
and wash calves at birth. 
B-K is handy. You have in one 
jug, nil ready for use by sinqily 
mixing with water, your treatment for 
calves, cows and bulls; lalso the best 
disinfectant you can pos.sibly have for 
general use—no special mixing of vari¬ 
ous ingredients—saves trouble and mis- 
take.s—insures promptness, accuracy, 
couveuieuce and succe.ssful results. 
Contagious abortion is being succes- 
fully controlled in many herds by fol¬ 
lowing our simple plan with B-K. One 
man ryrites: “I have been using B-K 
according to directions and the results 
have been very gratifying. My cows 
htive every one pas.sed the time for 
aborting and are calving all right in 
a natural way. I had lost .$1,500.00 
on my cows and feel that 15-K has 
cleaned up the trouble entirely.” 
B-K is .sold by dairy and farm sup¬ 
ply liomses, druggist.s, general stores, etc., 
everywhere. If your dealer does not 
have it, send us his name. 
Write for testimony 
of users and rea¬ 
sons why B-K is 
used so successfully 
in this work. 
Send for these use¬ 
ful booklets.
