AUStRIA'S WAR ON SNAKES. Nlew Additions to the Empire Over .run With Reptiles. Austria's new territory is undesir ably rich in snakes, mostly of the ,poisonous varieties, and the Govern ment is taking vigorous measures to exterminate them. In the ten years fm 1891 to 1905 the average yearlye atr roll from snake bites in Bosnia and Herzego-. Tina was thirteen persons, and 1,338 bead of cattle, horses and domp~tic animals. Besides this, hundreds of persons were bitten by snakes, but recovered. Since 1906 the provincial authori ties have given money premiums for the killing of snakes. In that year 30,056 dead snakes were brought in, of which 25,438 were poisonous. Next year, when the official reward system became more generally known, these flgures increased enormously, no fewer than 280,718 snakes being killed, including 271MS5 poisonous. Last year's figures were very near ly the same, and it will be some years before the work of extermina tion can be anything like completed. But at the same time the number of persons reported bitten by poisonous. snakes seems to be steadily deceras ing-206 In 1907 and 140 last year. Sarajevo correspondent in Pall Mall Gazette.

THE DIFFERENCE Oofee Usually Means Sickness but Postum Always 3lbans Health. Those who have never tried the experiment of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happi ness can learn. much from the experi ence of others who have made the trial. One who knows says: "I drank coffee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of indi gestion producing days of discmfort and nights of sleeplessness. I tried to give op the use of coffee entirely but found It hard to go from hot offee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum. "3was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned .o love it and have used it for several years. I improved immediately after I left off coffee and.took on Postum and am now entirely cured of my indigestion and other t?oubles, all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and contented and all because I changed from coffee to Postum. "Postuim is much easier to make .right every time than coffee for it is -so even and always reliable. We -never use coffen now in our aily. We -use Postumi and are always'welL "There's a reason" and it is proved by trial. Lok in pkgs. for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to WelIville." Ever read the above )letted? A new - apearsfromtime to time. They ae genuine, true, and full of human are large-framed birds, with long, deep bodies. They probably average about fifteen pounds in weight, but the ganders often weigh as much as twenty pounds or more. The Brown Chinese probably are the best looking geese we have, but the breed is com paratively small. This variety, how ever, is considered one of the best for crossing on the larger breeds for market purposes. Ge se are very fond of their mates and i is difficult to break up a mating without removing the male bird en tirely out of hearing. For this reason it is advisable to attend to the mating problem in the fall. If geese are kept on grass alone they probably will lay one setting of eggs and hatch them out, but if given a grain ration in connection with the pasture two or three settings may be expected. Goose sheds should be provided with plenty of straw during the laying sea son. They will then make their own nests near the ground and the mois ture probieui will be taken care of natur-al'lY.-Epitomisr. A Little Turkey Talk. After successfully raising turkeys for a number of years, I am able to give a few practical and useful hints on the subject which cannot fail to be of great benefit to the beginner, or perhaps to the ones who have been trying to raise turkeys, with but poor success. Turkeys, as we all know, are con sidered more difficult to raise than chickens, on account of their being more sensitive to the damp and cold of spring, and for this reason many do not try to raise them at all. I find that if turkeys are not hatched before the first of May, it is less trouble to care for them, and they are more apt to live. The common brown turkey is the most profitable. I once tried the white species, but found them poor layers, and not so hardy. It pays best to start with a small flock. Never keep over winter more than three hens and a gobbler. Right here let me say, be sure to get your gobbler and hens of different flocks in starting, and if you have your own, trade with some one, so that .they will not be related to the hens. Inbreeding is very frequently the cause of blindness. I have seen in quiries in many farm papers as to the probable cause of blindness, and experience has taught me that this is the sole cause. It is unwise to set the old turkey the first time she gets broody, but break her up to lay more eggs, and set a hen or two in her p)lace. When a hen is set, never use more than eight or ten eggs, and even then select a large hen. Give her a warm place to sit, and saturate the nest well with sulphur to keep away vermin. Use sulphur on the hen, also. A hen that is to sit for four weeks must be well fed and cared for. Give her plenty of fresh water and exer cise, and a small ration of corn meal wet with milk once each day. When a brood of little turkeys are first hatched they are weakly, and should not be taken from the nest for at least twelve hours. Warm, waterproof coops should be provided for .them. Larg dry-goods boxes, such as can be bought for about twenty-five cents, make excel lent coops. Turn these on their sides, with blocks under the corners to keep them off the ground. Nail strips of board over every crack. The top of the boxc forms the front of the coop. Nail laths across the front so close to gether that the little ones cannot crawl through, and make a little door, at one end, through which to feed and water them. I feed them on bread and milk for a few days, and then give them corn meal wet with sweet milk, a pinch of salt and some clean sand. Dutch cheese is also good for a change. They are very fond of it, and it aids digestion. Give them plenty of water, but do not leave it where .they can tumble into it, as a wetting is almost certain to be the death of a little turkey. When they are a few days old I take a lath from the front of the coop and let them run out, after the dew is off. If the nights are chilly, or the weather should be damp, coves the coop well with a warm blanket. The last year I raised turkeys I learned something very helpful. I put the coop under a large tree where there was shade in the afternoon, and found that the little "turks" never left the shade, and did not run off into the grass and weeds and get lost, as they had formerly done. They cannot endure the hot sun. If you have hens with little chicks. do not put the coops near the ones where there are little turkeys, as a hen with chicks will kill little tur keys. A hen with turkeys will like wise kill the chickens. When the old turkey hens a.-e set later on, I take the same method with them as with the hen mother and brood, and take care to provide a large Coop). When little "turks" are six to eight weeks old they can be let out with their mothers a short .time each day if the weather is good, and by the time they are half-grown they can get their own living, by gleaning In the fields, and will make no more ;-ouble. The last year I raised turkeys I lost but three and raised forty.-Miss M. M. Chandler. The Treacle Bible got its name from its rendering of Jeremiah 8:22: "Is there no treacleinGilead," instead of balm in Gilead. It was printed in 1-2S. The same text was rendered i in the Douai version, 1609, "Is there no rosin in Gilead ?" This Bible was cllerd the Rnsin Bible . . . -ORL Silage For Beef Cattle. The. only reason the silo has not been used so largely upon the beef cattle and general stock farm is be cause beef men have not given it the trial that dairymen have. Those who have used silage in the produc tion of beef are universally in favor of it. It proves a profitable addition to a beef-feeding ratio4. Experi ment station tests have presented re suits which stand out prominently in favi- of silage for beef feeding. The latest evidence from this source comes from the Indiana sta tion, where a series of practical beef feeding experiments are being conducted.-Weekly Witness. Spraying to Kill Weeds. Directions for making a spraying solution that will kill weeds are given as follows: Empty a hundred pound sack of sulphate of iron into a fifty-gallon barrel: fill to the chine with water, and stir with a hoe for a few minutes until dissolved. Strain through several thicknesses of cheesecloth tacked over manhole of the spraying machine, producing a real mist free from drops. Use about fifty gallons to the acre, and spray on a bright warm day or on a dark damp day; it does not matter so long as rain does not come within eighteen or twenty hours. This spray will not harm grain crops, and will kill wild mustard and various o.her weeds. Weekly Witness. Supplying the Soil With Plant Food. In fertilizing any crop the needs of the soil upon which the crop is to be grown are usually the leading consid eration. A soil which had recently been. well manured, or had a clover sod plowed under, would likely be pretty well provided with nitrogen. and accordingly the mineral constit uents would le the principal concern. A heavy clay soil would not need the potash that a sandy or muck soil would require. The need for phos phoric acid Is more general. After the soil, the needs of the crop may be considered.' For instance, a 200 bushel-to-the-acre crop of potatoes will carry from the soil thirty-three pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds of phosphoric acid and sixty-two pounds of potash; a thirty bushel crop of wheat, sixty-two pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds phosphoric acid and twenty-six pounds of potash. For use upon the same sort of soil, then, the potato cron would call for a fer tilizer richer in potash than would wheat, if the store of plant food in the soil is to be maintained. It might be possible to omit the nitro gen for the potatoes, since the latter are usually closer to the clover sod or manure or both in the rotation than wheat.--Farmers' Home Journal. .Engines For Farm Power. 'Some farms have steam boilers and engines, but for ordinary use they are too expensive to buy and too compli cated to run. If a person only needs a five or ten horse power engine he don't want to bother with a steam en gine. It takes too long to get up steam and too much attention when running. What he needs is a gasoline engine. The newer patterns of gasoline en gines are practically automatic. You can start one after breakfast in the morning and it will run steadily until noon without attention. They start quickly, jump right into full power and run at less expense than any oth er farm motor power except wind mills, and these are unreliable, be cause they are subject to the whims and fincies of the winds. One mistake often made in buying a farm gasoline engine is in getting It too small. You need a little re serve power. If you need two horse power buy a four horse power en gine. It don't cost any more to run it to do two horse power worth of work, then you have the extra power when you need it. The cost of a size larger is not a great deal when com pared with the additional service it will render.--The Epitomist. Geese For Breeding. A goose farm should have a run nling stream of pure water so situated that the fields may be laid out on both sides of the stream. The fields Ishould consist of good pasture with a variety of grasses and of sufficient size to support a gander and three geese with their growing goslings. One gander and three geese to a pen are often better than any other number for breeding purposes. A shed on the north side of the field opening to the south is all the p)rotec tion the geese require except in the extreme north. In the middle sec tions of the United States geese sel dom will use the shed except during the laying and hatching seasons or on extremely coid days in winter. The sheds consequently need not be very large nor expensive. But the roof should be thoroughly waterproof and the bottom provided with a foot or more of straw. Toulouse, Embden and Chinese are the three varieties usually raised. The Chinese lay more eggs than the others, but the birds are not so valu able, c.nsequently the larger varieties are likr" to pay the best. Stock nmi require to be renewed kiltds of poultry, as geese a-e no .a an'l th eggs are much taie n after geese have obtinI ul - aturity.

Novel Medicine Chest. One of the most ingenious of inven tions is the medicine chest designed by an Arkansas man. With this chest there is no excuse for a person not taking his medicine on time or for g.tting the medicines mixed. The cabinet consists of a stand with two little drawers at the upper corners and a desk portion on top. In front of the desk portion is a little door, just about wide enough to admit a bottle, and inside is a series of re volving trays. One of these trays is provided with numbers indicating minutes, another with numbers indi cating the hours of the day, and a third with ordinals indicating the hours of the day and night. Each tray is divided into little compart ments at each hour, so that at a cer tain hour a bottle in that compart ment will be waiting at the door. This- is brought about by a dlock mechanism which operates the trays, all of which are connected to a shaft and moved by the clock, the face of which is visible in the front of the stand. It now remains for the inven tor to add an alarm attachment and it will be practically impossible to miss medicine time. - Washington Star. Enough Said.
