THE CALUMET CHIEFTAIN
'FARM<
POULTRY
WELFARE OF YOUNG TURKEYS
Dampness Is Fatal to Poults During
First Few Weeks—Allow Flocks
to Roam at Will.
Young turkeys must have dry ground
on which to roam. Dampness Is fatal
during the first few weeks. Poults
that come out In bright weather and
are blessed with two weeks of sun-
shine in which to get a start in life,
may leave earlier-hatched birds behind.
Assuming that the pnrent stock is vig-
orous, young turkeys are not. difficult
to rear successfully. The mother tur-
key will rid herself of vermin and
teach the young to do the same if she
has access to a good dust bath. A lit-
tle pure lard or sweet oil on the head
and under the wings of the poults will
destroy lice effectively.
Unless the weather is unusually
warm and dry it is better to keep the
you fig birds in a roomy open air pen
the first two weeks of their life. After
that they may be allowed to go where
they will, except that it is- better not
to let them out until the dew has dried
off in the morning for a few weeks
longer. Restraint is detrimental to
turkeys, as a general thing. The av-
erage grower should allow the flocks
to roam over the fields at will. By so
doing they will pick up nearly ail of
their summer and early fall food.
MALE !S DISTURBING FACTOR
Practice of Allowing Roosters Free-
dom of Flock After Hatching Sea-
son Is Over Is Bad.
(By T. E. QUISENBERRT.)
The one fault in the management of
farm flocks which, from the viewpoint
of Improving the quality of market
eggs, is worse than all others com-
bined, is the almost "universal practice
of allowing the males the freedom of
the flock after the hatching season is
over. Nine-tenths of the vast number
of eggs that are candied out every
summer as unfit for food are fertile
eggs in which the germ has started to
develop. A temperature of 70 de-
grees will start the germ in a fertile
egg to slowly developing. A fertile
egg subjected to a temperature of 100
degrees for 24 hours will be unfit for
food, while an infertile egg may be
subjected to the same temperature for
a week and still be perfectly good for
cooking purposes.
The simple expedient of shutting
up or disposing of the adult male
birds as soon as the hatching season
is over, if it should become the general
custom, would result in the saving of
a million of dollars' worth of eggs
every season. Another important ad-
vantage in having no males in the
laying pens is the fact that the hens
without males running with them are
much more gentle and quiet. The
male is a disturbing factor.

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director oj
Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Ini
■tltute, Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1IH, Weitern N«w pap«r Union.)
LESSON FOR OCTOBER 15
APPEAL TO CAESAR.
LESSON TEXT—Act« 26 (vv. 1-12).
GOLDEN TEXT—It Is enough for th«
disciple that he be as hlB teacher, and
the servant as his Lord.—Math. 10:28.
Teachers ought to urge \helr schol-
ars to read Chapters 24, 25 and 20
thoroughly, and with the use of a map
locate the places mentioned. The date
of this lesson is A. D. 50, and it oc-
curred at the crisis of the events which
determined the way Paul should go to
Rome, Nero being the emperor at that
time.
I. Paul in the Prison at Caesarea
(vv. 1.6). Paul was worn out, badly
In need of rest, and is given during this
imprisonment much freedom. He was
accompanied by Luke, his physician,
and probably some of his other friends.
For almost 20 years Paul had been liv-
ing a strenuous life, crowded full of
labors that would have crushed an or-
dinary man. Now for some consider-
able time he had time to thoroughly
master and assimilate the truth which
he had been preaching, the results of
which have come down to us in the
form of letters, seven of which at least
vere written during and after the
events of this lesson. Els imprison-
ment also gave many of his friends
opportunity to secure his counsel and
guidance. The vindictiveness and
hatred of the Jews is evident by this
new plot whereby they sought the help
of Festus against Paul. The corrupt
Felix had been succeeded by a more
upright man, Festus. The scheme of
these enemies of Paul and of Jesus had
already resulted in giving Paul an op-
portunity to preach Jesus ns the Christ
and the judge of men to persons who
otherwise would not have been within
the scope of his influence. Through
his persecution he had reached leading
officials and educated men of the Ro-
mans and of the Jews. Bunyan, in
Bedford jail, and Luther In Witten-
berg Castle, are illustrations of the
principle that, "difficulties are the
ptones out of which all God's houses
are built."
Felix, on giving up his office to his
successor, left Paul bound (Ch. 24:27)
though he knew he ought to be re-
leased, but by this vile, iniquitous act,
he gave Paul another one of his de-
sired opportunities to witness for
Christ In high places. The shrewdness
of Festus saved Paul from falling Into
the trap of the Jews, for God was guid-
ing Festus, and at the same time
guarding Paul.
II. Paul's Appeal to Caesar (vv. 7-
12). The Jews made many and griev-
ous complaints, but without bringing a
single witness to prove their asser-
tions. Doubtless these were the same
old charges that had been brought be-
fore Felix through Tertullus two years
before, and which now, as then, could
not be proved. Paul was permitted to
answer for himself, and he declared
that he had broken neither the Jew-
ish nor the Roman law. Most of the
enemies of Christianity and of the
Bible "lay many and grievous charges
against it which they cannot prove."
In all ages the enemies of God and his
word mistake strong and confident
charges and vilifications as proofs.
Paul's life was absolutely clean, and
he could say, "I have not sinned at all"
(v. 8 R. V.) In any of the directions In
which he was charged. Festus, as the
newly appointed governor, desired to
do the Jews a favor; literally, desired
to gain their favor. Therefore he said
to Paul, "Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem,
and there be Judged of these things be-
fore me?" This amounted to an ac-
quittal of Paul on the charges that
would come under the Roman law.
There remained only such charges as
would naturally come before the San-
hedrln, and the question was whether
Paul would 'accept an informal acquit-
tal from the Roman court on condition
that he submit to a trial before his
own people on the other count. Fes-
tus wished to throw upon Paul the re-
sponsibility of refusing to go to Jeru-
salem, and to avoid displeasing the
Jews.
Festus got a courteous but a sting-
ing and well deserved rebuke from his
prisoner. Paul was perfectly willing
to take any punishment he deserved,
even unto death, but, having a clear
conscience, he had no fear of Festus
or any man. His appeal to Caesar
was most unexpected. It confused
Festus and baffled the Jews. The Lord's
own words on his midnight visit to
Paul in prison are here suggested (23:
11).
Festus could make but one decision,
"Unto Caesar thou shalt go." Paul'*
sincere and open character was th<
means of his safety and power.

KEEPING UP COUNTRY ROADS
Road Drag, Applied at Right Time and
In Proper Manner Will Do the
Trick Every Time.
That country roads can be kept dur-
ing mostjof the year equal to or bet-
ter than piked or macadam roads has
been proved time and again. The road
drag applied at the right time and In
the right way will do the trick every
time. Of course, the road must be
properly drained and rounded up first.
But demonstrations all over the coun-
try have shown that in most instances
this can be done at a comparatively
small cost.
The great need today is for the
farmer to realize the value of good
roads. The cost of poor roads to the
farmer in dollars and cents has been
figured out. Every rut and mud hole
uses so much strength of the team
and wears out the wagon so much
sooner than If the road was good.
The size of the load is limited by the
piece of bad road or the hill which
uses the strength of the team to the
limit. A ten-mile haul may be limited
by an eighth of a mile of bad road.
A two-ton load may have to be re-
duced to one ton because of a single
hill.
HIGH TEST OF CIVILIZATION
Man Is Road Maker and Progressive-
ness of Community May Be Gauged
by Its Highways.
A man driving in the country came
to a stone which had rolled into the
road. He could have gone around the
stone, but, instead of doing that, he
stopped and got out and rolled the
stone away; not for his own sake, for
ho never expected to pass along that
road again, but for the sake of others
who would come after him.
"That man," says the Farm and
Fireside, which told the story, "re-
sponded to a high, very high test of
civilization, lie felt socially." Sav-
ages do not make roads; their paths
follow the lines of least resistance
and go around obstructions. Civilized
man is a road maker, and the progres-
siveness of a community may be
gauged by its roads. The higher the
state of civilization the better the
roads.
A man may be judged, too, by his
attitude toward roads.

ESTIMATE OF AVERAGE LOAD
In This Country It Is About 1,400
Pounds, While Over European
Roads It is 3,300 Pounds.
It is estimated that over our dirt
roads, when level, the average load
drawn by one horse is about 1,400
pounds and, when the roads are hilly,
about 1,000 pounds. In France and
Germany, with improved roads, the av-
erage load is about 3,300 pounds. Other
estimates show that 5,000,000,000 tons
of freight pass over the highways every
year, with an average haul of less than
ten miles. The average cost is 23 cents
a ton a mile. On good roads the cost
would not exceed eight cents a ton a
mile.
The greater part of such freight con-
sists of farm products and the un-
necessary cost of transportation is not
'tily lost to the fanner but added tf
Mo cost paid by the consumers.
