selecting BreeoIaE Turkeys.

Selecting BreeolnE TnrEe-a'
While all breeders like to have and
breed "hesvy weights" and customers
buying turkey all call for large birds, it Is
a fact that for msrket purposes, moderate
sized and even small turkeys command a
more ready safe than do large ones. we
have watched the market for few days
mast and know this to be fsct. How
ever. we do not wish to discourage
breeders from running up the weights,
even il they attain the much desired
weight of ffty-pound gobbler at three
or four years old, for as long as there is
lively demand among breeders for heavy
birds, let there be birds to supply that
demand. To secure the best results in
that direction, select an early hatched,
strong and vigorous gobbler OF this years
hatch. and which is of fine proportion,
ong in the body and properly marked,
and mate him to "a many two year-oId
hens as you intend to keep-from two to
five hens, if properly handled, will pro-
duce a fine crop OF yeung birds each
season, and you can not help but be
absolutely satisfied with the results.

MEANING CnIIA.

Halter the colt in a stall adjoining the
dam, with q partition 20 open that they
are in plain view of each other. Reduce
the food of the mare to very small
ration of dry oats and hay. When her
udder becomes so full as TO cause her
unessiness, draw off part of the milk,
but be careful not to milk her clean.
This first milking may be done by the
colt itself, but afterwards it should be
done by hand, a. the milk in the draw"
ingsoff process soon becomes unfit for the
colt, and besides. the drying off will
thus be more speedily accomplished than
when the colt is permitted to suck occa"
sionally. After the milk has entirely
dried up the mare and her toal may be
separated, and she may be safely turnel
out to grass. la the meantime great care
must be taken with the food of the colt.
If it has been properly treated 1t has
already learned 10 eat heartily, and the
food should be OF such character as to
supply the place of the milk OF the dam.
If the foal is young, or in tain flesh, it
may be easily taught to drink cows
milk, and nothing can be found that
will so completely supply the place of
milk from its own dam, of which it is
now deprived. Indeed, it will be well
in all cases where from lack of quantity
or quality in the dam, or from lack OF
good pasture, the fosl is in low flesh, to
early supply the deficiency with a good
allowance of cows milk, in addition to
what it gets from the dam. New milk
should be used at first, until the fosl is
accustomed to drinking it, but very soon
SKINNED milk, which will answer very
nearly as well, may be substituted. The
effect which such ration will have upon
growth ard condition of the foal is won
.derful. A quart of milk morning and
evening will be quite sufficient, and ii it
be sweetened a little at first the colt will
take to it more resdily, as the milk of
the dam is much sweeser than cows
milk. Oats, ground or unground, CON-
stitute the very best grain food for colt.
We prefer to have them ground, and SIS
cold weather approaches about one
fourth in weight of corn meal may
proftsbIy he added, as it helps to lay on
fat and keeps up the animal heat. A
little oil meal, say a pint day, may
also be proftsb y given with the oats for
some time after weaving. Don't be
afraid of feeding too literally. More
colts are injured the first six months
after weaving by too scanty supply of
food than from any ether cause. AS
soon as the mare and foal are separated
the foal should have, if possible, the run
of a good pasture--as there is no food
better than grass, no medicine so good as
exercise, and no exercise so profitable to
young animals as when taken just as
they feel like it. A good, warm shelter
should always be accessible, so that they
may be protected from storms. The
idea that " roughing it" the first winter
makes colt more hardy" is all non.
nense. The true theory is plenty OF
food, abundant exercise and protection
from storms, and extreme cold in well-
ventilated, well-lighted stables.

Special Notice.
MANY abuses have grown up under the
1V1 old system Of selling Sewing Machines
through "Middlemen," whose cupidity has
often led them to Misrepresentation and fraud
For the protection of the public and our
seve we have abandoned this whole pernlcious
system. We have abolished the "midde-
men, and sell directly through our owR sala.
ried agents, whom we are able TO control.
We can thus give to every purchaser of
Genuine Singer Sewing Machine the guar
anty of company of % years standing, en-
ploying forty thousand men, that any machine
sold by Singer agent is exactly what it is
represented The difference between such a
guaranty and the guaranty of an irrespousi-
BILE, hungry cauvasser, whom the purchaser
has never seen before and may never see again

THE EXODUS.
What an Intelligent Kansas Colored
Editor has to Say About It.

AT the recent exodus conVen-
ton at Nashville, L. w. Hender-
derson, colored citizen Of Kan
sas, and editor Of the Kansas
Colored Citizen, read the follow
ing extract from his paper to the
convention:
In regard to the migration CT
these people from the South to
Kansas, we have these plain
views to express, and as we shall
send this paper to many leading
men Of the South, we hope they
will make known the views here
in expressed. We have this to
say
1. That reports circulated by
unprincipled persons that tie
colored people coming to Kan
sas would receive a home free,
or anything else free, is false.
Everybody in Kansas has to get
a home just as they would have
to get it anywhere else, except
such of them as are willing and
prepared to go out upon the from
tier and run the risk Of making
a living on the homestead lands
given by the government. We
want to tell our people plainly
that all the government land OBJ
tainable in Kansas is so far away
from the markets as to make
them for the poor man exceed
ingly undesirable. Then we say
don't come to Kansas expecting
to have a home given you. You
can only get a home or tract of
land in Kansas by buying it.
Let this be understood. You
can buy land at from So to $50
per acre.
2. Our advice is never leave
home for Kansas without having
some money over and above
what it costs to pay your trans
portation, nor then, without some
definite plan in your head as to
where you are going and what
you mean to do after you ret
there.
3. Remember that in Kansas
everybody must work or starve.
This is a great State for the en-
ergetic and industrious, but a
fearful poor enc fer the idle or
lazy man; "root hog or die" is the
motto here.
Now we hope all the above is
plain enough to be easily under
stood, and we urge upon all the
truthfulness Of what we have
said.

JOHN PATTERSON'S COM
MITTEE.
The Most Extraordinary Stealing
in Small Way Ever Attempted.

WASHINGTON, NJ ay IS
Further investigation of honest
j o hn Patterson's celebrated
committee, sent TO investigate
the possible chance of stealing
the Indian country, shows the
most extraordinary stealing ev-
err reported in a small way as
the work of u Congressional
committee. Honest John took
testimony for seventeen days,
and expended 1929. OF this,
81 200 only was expended for
witness fees and mileage. Two
Of Honest Johns friends were
paid $l,037.50 for simply copy
ing and abstracling laws rela-
ting 10 the Indian Territory,
and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad received $3,061
for carrying around this prec-
ious gang for seventeen days.
Some Of the items in Patterson's
bill are models for cunning
highwaymen. The stenograph-
ei' was paid 1923, and another
genial friend was paid 1888 for
revising the work Of the steno-
grapher. On Oct. u, r. b.
Nixon and three others were
allowed SIP for expenses of a
trip from Washington to St.
Louis, and put in a bill for $50
only for coming back. Patter-
son and his son remained in St.
Louis, six days, and ran up
hotel bill. They put in a bill
of $45 for carriage transporta-
ton through St. Louis, and the
bill was paid. Patterson and
his son also expended, or said
they did, Sis for newspapers
and telegraphing while in St.
Louis. The perfect muck of
thievery run by honest John in
the closing days of his Con-
gressional career shows what
he must have done in South
Carolina, when his opportuni-
ties were better.
