We cut the pumpkins into small pieces which can be eaten easily, and put them into the tro instead of breaking them up and owing them into the pen. We find it pays well for the time spent in cutting. The pump- kiris are fed in the morning when ap- petites are keen, and before the grain is given.” i RAISING A TURKEY CROP. Sheop_ Rells, Chickens and Turpentine Ald-This lowa Grower. I will tell how I raise turkeys. In my banner year I raised 220 from sixteen hens. ] keep my turkey hens penned up in the forenoon.

I @ather the turkey eggs and put them ‘When the first turkey hen gdes to set I set her and then set the rest of the turkey eggs under chicken heus. As the other turkey hens are ready to set I take the eggs.from the chicken hens and give them to the turkeys.

They hap) Experimental Pens has been watched ot the. Contest, for. iy e ‘weeks past is/the fact that in the thirty-eighth ‘these Experimental Pens of Leghorns have pushed the Wyandottes so closely. Pen 42 has had no meat food of any sort since the contest opened but as a substitute therefor has had all the sour milk they cared to consume. On Wednesday aft- ernoon July 22nd hen No. 411X in thi pen laid the egg that tied Barron's Wyandottes. All the next day these two pens see-sawed for first place. Thursday morning this Experimental Pen of Leghorns was leading the con- test. By eight o'clock the English Wyandottes had tied the score and at nine_ o'clock they were leading, but hen Nb. 411X again came to the rescue and tied the score and thus it con- tinued for the remainder of another day. Pen 42 would have been leading except for the fact that one pullet laid an undersized egg that could not be counted. On Friday morning Barron's birds got 2 little earlier start and took the lead and held it until early after- noon when hen No. 418 tied the score and hen No. 417 an hour later put this Experimental Pen one egg ahead at the closs of the contest week. The Storrs Experiment Station will continue these Experimental Pens in the next con- test and for the same purpose, namely to see if the. ration can be improved upon and not for the purpose of com: peting for prizes. ¥ Hanors for the week were all won by small margins. The English Les- Lorns got away with first place with a Yield of 57 eggs, fqllowed closely by a Connecticut pen of Leghorns owned by Thomas W. Moore of Central Village that yielded 58 eggs, while an Ohio pen of the same breed owned by Charles /Aeigl of Rocky River and a Conneeti- cut pen owned by George A. C ove { of West Willington, tied for third place with 54 eggs each. - The total vield for all pens amounted to 3954 | eggs.

The German capital bought extensively of other American shares, while Paris and London com- tinued to unload here. In fact, Berlin was ‘almost the only foreign center where anything like normal conditions prevailed, Londorn and Paris doing theiy utmost to resist trading, while other foreign exchanges went to ti xtreme o(;’ -gpcxzdm operations altogether. e day's total business, which aggregated about 800,000 shares, Berlin probably took 25,000 while Paris, London, Vienna, Amsterdam and &bme less ‘important centers were said to have sold fully twice that amount on balance. . Tt is possible that the gold engage- ments to London and Paris might have assumed larger proportions but for the high rates of’ insurance marine companies. “The war risl was fixed at $5,000 per $10,00,000 against $1,250 on the previous day. This materially reduced tne profit to shippers, and what is more important, called attention to the hazards con- nected with such transactions. At least one company was disposed to make a- material concession in the insurance rate on shipments made in vessels of American registry. but some made a flat all around rate and barred vessels flying the Austrian flag.
