Care Of Turkeys.

The turkey is tender when young,
but hardy when matured. The
greatest difficulty with young turks
is when they are feathcring, then
they need an almost unlimited sup
ply of food Of the best quality, and
variety. They feather so rapidly
that they are soon able to fly, but
this PROCESS is made at the expense
of a great loss of vitality They
cannot endure confinement, even
when young, and the poultryman
must, therefore, not only give them
their liberty rs soon as possible, but
must not subject them to the loss of
single meal. The turkey hen is a
very persistent sitter, requiring IS
days for incubation. She is care
full and attentive mother, and re-
mains with her young until they
voluntarily forsake her.
For the first "a hours the young
turkeys should be kept in a close
box. quiet and undisturbcd, in order
to allow them to rest and appropriate
the food derived from the yelks,
which they absorb. They should
then be fed on finely chopped eggs
every two or three hours, for the
second day, and after that time,
mixture of soaked wheat bread
and milk, mixed with eggs and fine
" chopped onions will be excellent.
DO not feed eggs longer than three
or four days, but vary the food to
mashed potatoes, cooked oatmeal,
chopped onions, chopped meat and
cracked wheat or corn.
Keep the hen confined in roomy
coop for the first week, and allow
her to take exercise; but she should
be watched carefully. in order that
the young ones may be fed as often
as convenient, making meat and
ground bone special object in their
meals. The young turks cannot
endure the slightest dampness. and
under no circumstances should they
be allowed out of their coops until
the ground is perfectly dry. la
Turkeys cannot be kept under
confinement or restraint, and require
plenty of room for foraging. hey
will 90 over the highest fences and
stray off for miles. and can therefore
be raised only on large farms, OF
where there is room for them. The
best variety is Il the large Bronze
which sometimes attains the weight
of 40 pounds when two years old
though such weight is rather an ex,
ception. A cross of the wild and
Bronze gives a very hardy turkey
and il the eggs are hatched under
& common hens with few chicks as
companions. the little turks can b'
encouraged to roost with the othel
fowls, and will lose much of their in
, clination to wander.
Turkeys are always profitable, al
they require no care after they have
passed the critical period, and al

Study what your soil and the

Water house plants only when they

over a tract of land and the latter was
killed by the former. McFee fed from

nothing was known OF his wherea bouts.
Immediately after McFee's disappear

started in pursuit, spent twenty years In
searching for the murderer, located him
recently at Southwest City, Mo-, and
proceeded to have him arrested. The ar
rest caused great excitement among the
cowboys Of that region. and for time it
was feared that an attempt at res.
cue would be made, but it was
finally decided to send two o! their num-

sPALDING's RUM WAR.
Settlement Of the Long Contest In
Favor of the LIQUOR Element.


Favor of the Liquor Element.
GRIFFIN, GA, Nov. 27.-The great pro-
hioition contest 10 Spaldng county came
to an end yesterday, much TO the relief OF
the people, who were weary OF the pro-
longed fight. The election, under the To-
cal option bill. was held In June last, and
resulted in victory for the anti-Prohi-
bitionists by 237 majority upon the con-
solidated vote OF the county. Contest
papers were thereupon filed before the
Ordinary OF Spalding county, who, after
investigation, declared the result to be a
majority of 235 for the sale OF
liquor. Thereupon the Prohibition
lists carried the case to the Superior
Court, under the provisions of the local
option act, and where it was to be tried
until finished and to the entire displace-
ment of all other business in the court.
The trial began at the August term OF the
superior Court, and from that time to
the present the lawyers and people have
been In constant wrangle over the
case. IL was apparent from the first
that under the rulings OF Judge BoyntOn,
and in view of the testimony, that the
Prohibitionists were having an uphill
hight, but the people were surprised at the
opening OF court to-day to see the lawyers
ON both sides retire to the consultation
room, where they remained out of the view
OF the eager spectators for some hours.
1t was rumored around the court room
that things were nearing An end, although
it was known that only one.half OF the
votes cast had been Investigated by the
court. Upon the return of the attorneys
the following paper agreement was hand
ed to the Judge, who approved the same
as the Judgment of the court, and the
matter was thus ended:
l. Contestants withdraw their contests.
2. Contestants agree to pay the costs OF
court and clerks fees, respondents to pay
the shertf's fees. 8. The result as declared
by the Ordinary to bethe judgment of this
court. Hail & Hammond, John D. Stew

Thus Spalding county remains free to

average shipment per day is 245 jugs of
all sizes, and Atlanta Is happy.

APPROPRIATION ESTIMATES.
District OF Columbia Commissioner
Before the Committee.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 27.-The District
subcommittee of the' Committee on APP
priations had the Commissioners before
them to-day. The bill was gone over item
by item. A member oil the suo-com mittee
was quoted as saying that the question OF
submitting estimates was raised and dis
cussed quite fully between the members
OF the subcommittee and the Commits.
siOners. The latter were informed posi-
lively that the committee could not re-
ce.ve estimates except from the Secretary
Oh the Treasury, and from no other source
could they take jurisdiction of estimates
and act upon them. 1t was finally practI-
cally decided that The Commissioners
should submit their estimates To he sec
rotary of the Treasury in accordance with
the legal views OF that official and the
Appropriations committee, so tuat the
controversy is virtually ended. Another
member OF the So b-committee stated that
when the Commissioners had lawfully
explained To them, they appeared to be
willing TO comply Without any opposition.
