NEW LAMP BURNS 
94% AIR 
Beats Electric or Gas 
A new oil lamp that gives an amaz¬ 
ingly brilliant, soft, white light, even 
better than gas or electricity, has been 
tested by *the U. S. Government and 35 
leading universities and found to be su¬ 
perior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns 
without odor, smoke or noise—no pump¬ 
ing up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% 
air and 6% common kerosene i(coal oil). 
The inventor, R. M. Johnson, 642 N. 
Broad St., Philadelphia, is offering to send 
a lamp on 10 days’ FREE trial, or even to 
give one FREE to the first user in each 
locality who will help him introduce it. 
Write him to-day for full particulars. 
Also ask him to explain how you can get 
the agency, and without experience or 
money make $250 to $500 per month.

How I Raise My Turkeys 
Mrs. K. F. Van House 
T HE very first thing I do is to select my 
“ over keepers " and I do this not later than 
Thanksgiving or Christmas, when I can get the 
choice mature birds before they are killed for 
market. Some leave it until spring when they 
must take what they can get, scrub stock. 
During the winter months I keep them in a 
sheltered place and they will be ready for early 
mating in the spring. When they begin laying, 
which is generally about the first of March, 
1 plaice conveniently near the buildings an 
empty sugar barrel for each hen, then I scatter 
enough loose hay or straw in them to make a 
nice nest, gather the eggs every day, keeping 
them in a nice cool place. 
I turn the eggs every day. This is to keep 
the yolk in the center of the egg and insures 
good hatching. Each then will lay from fifteen 
to seventeen eggs before wanting to set. As 
soon as she is ready I put seventeen eggs in 
the nest, first placing a large piece of sod or 
moist earth in the bottom of the nest to give 
moisture to the eggs. 
Hatching season, which requires four weeks 
of incubation for turkeys, must be carefully 
watched, taking the little peeps from the nest 
as soon as they are fluffy and dry, to keep the 
old mother from smothering them. Remove 
the old mother from the nest as soon as she is 
through hatching, put her in a large freshly 
white-washed coop, and build a pen around the 
coop four by six feet and one foot high. When 
the little ones are able to fly out of this en¬ 
closure they are ready to roam about for half 
a day, always confining them at night, as a pro¬ 
tection against dogs and other night prowlers. 
When they are six weeks old they are ready 
to leave the coop and roost in a small tree and 
they will do this if provided with a small 
ladder which any one can make. At the age of 
six weeks I always examine them carefully for 
lice, as lice very often kills more young turkeys 
than any other one thing. 
The principal feed which I give my young 
turkeys is hard-boiled eggs, onions, curds and 
rolled oatmeal. After they are two months old 
a little wheat may be thrown to them, continu¬ 
ing on through the summer months. Corn 
should not be fed as it is too heating. The first 
of October is the time to begin feeding corn 
and cornmeal all they will eat, getting them 
ready for the Thanksgiving and Christmas 
market. 
Turkeys must have a small grove or orchard 
near the buildings where they can go and find 
rest and cooling breezes from the hot sunshine 
of mid-summer. If they do not have something 
of this kind near they will roam several miles 
to find it. 
Turkey prices in Pennsylvania are from 65 
to 75 cents a pound and any farmer’s daughter 
can raise from 50 to 60 turkeys and be well 
repaid for her labor, besides helping her mother 
with the household Tasks.— Mrs. K. F. Van 
H., Pennsylvania.

TURKEYS HAVE ROUP 
I have been raising turkeys for two years and this year 
my birds have some kind of sickness or trouble with their 
heads. Their heads are swollen so that they can hardly 
see and a watery substance is discharging from their 
nostrils. It looks like a bad case of catarrh. I have never 
seen anything like it before.—Mns. H. J. K., New York. 
U NDOUBTEDLY your turkeys are suffer¬ 
ing from roup. Next to black head, roup 
is probably more troublesome than any other 
disease of turkeys. It is particularly likely to 
occur when the birds are exposed to drafts or 
dampness. It begins like an ordinary cold, but 
as it develops a swelling occurs about the eyes. 
Because of the swelling the disease is often 
termed swell head. 
Roup is highly contagious and for this reason 
affected birds should be isolated from the 
flock. If the disease is very bad, the birds 
should be killed rather than run the risk of 
spreading the disease through the flock. Where 
the infection is light, the head, nostrils and 
mouth can be washed out with some disin¬ 
fectant such as a solution of potassium per¬ 
manganate. This solution can be obtained at 
your drug store. 
Where the swelling is serious, it should be 
lanced and the pus or material which the 
swelling contains, should he squeezed out, after 
which the sore may be washed out with some 
disinfectant. _ 
How Much Money Do Farmers 
Make ? 
(Continued from page 408) 
farm products have changed to such an extent 
that these farmers will probably make a small 
labor income in 1923. 
In ordinarily prosperous times we can expect 
to find one or two farmers out of a hundred 
making a $2,000.00 labor income. An occa¬ 
sional farmer makes $3,000.00, and some 
make over this amount.
