Customs Guard Wallace Makes a
Find on the 3 2. Cheney.
While Customs Guard c. Wallace
was assisting in the search of the
bark B. P. Cheney at about II a. m.
yesterday he found four half-pound
tins OF opium in the coal box of the
stewards galley. Nakamai, the Jap
anese steward, was standing by the
box when the opium was found, and
professed to know nothing about it at
all. l was not very long, however, be-
fore he was arrested and taken to the
police station.
1t seems that when the B. P. Cheney
arrived Port Surveyor StratemeyeI
gave orders for a number of guards
to be sent aboard that vessel for the
purpose of making a thorough search
of her. The men were divided up, and
Wallace happened to be the lucky one
The search will be continued today
1t may be that even the half has not

TURKEY BREEDING.

a Little Experience That Produced Salts

II breed the Bronze" says writer
in The Fancier's s Review, 'as they are
my favorites. In tho fall I select the
very best hens I have, mate them to a
Tom, either one I've raised for the pur-
pose or have purchased to breed from.
think the best way is to select mum
Der Of young hens, mate them with the
best Tom you can afford and keep them
as breeders for three or four years with
out making any change, unless it is TO
purchase more hens. In this way you
save the extra expense of purchasing q
male every year. Besides it is all the
better for your flock. The selection Of
the best and strongest cannot be en-
phasized too much, for. if you would
have healthy and vigorous turkeys, you
must have the same quality in your
breeding stock. -
II new blood were brought into the
flock every year, there would be fewer
complaints of young turkeys being del
icate. The truth is that these birds have
been too much inbred. The easiest and
quickest remedy for the trouble is the
introduction of wild blood, which gives
the desired stamina
When the young turks are first hatch
ed, they, like chickens, require no food
for the first "a hours, but the mother
should be given a little corn to keep her
on the nest. Afterward feed them some
milk curd squeezed dry or bread dipped
but not soaked in milk or slightly
moistened with egg. Later on they may
be given scraps from the honse, wheat,
corn. bread and green bone. Always feed
on a clean board and allow them as
much as they will eat up clean in the
space Of quarter Of an hour. For the
first three weeks they should be fed three
or four times day; afterward t.,rco
times daily will suffice. Of course II =
must be supplied with plenty Of water
and gravel
As soon es the turks seem strcag aud

may be allowed to rnr.b.o about. but

to tho turks when they are about a week |

heads. This should be applied with dis
cretiol. as too much grease is fatal to |
then.
Turkeys are great foragers and cannot
be kept in confinement. After the first |
three months they should be given abso-
Lutte freedom. About a month before
they should be fed literally
with as much corn as they will eat. Old
corn should always be used, as green
corn is indigestible and often retards fat
tening ~ it does not cause actual loss.

of swindling. \ jury trial was
given him and a verdict was re-
turned of guilty. The court
sentenced him to 80 days III Jail

Morris and his pals have been

not with much success. \ few

prosecuting witness in the case,
came in from the Greek nation
and happened to meet Morris
and crowd shortly after he
struck the city. The negroes
undertook to work the swindle
on him, but it happened that

Sensational Arrests.

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. ~
About twenty-five sensational
arrests were made today. The
parties arrested include bank
presidents and other prominent
citizens in the city. The charge
is that they are loaning money
without paying an occupation
tax. Some of the arrested are
agents of building and loan and
other loan associations, which
under a recent holding of the
state comptroller are liable for
an occupation tax. All of the
parties gave bond. The county
court has jurisdiction in the
cases, the offenses being misde-
meanors and punished by a fine
not less than the amount of the
tax and more than double thai
amount.
