"What Fools These Mortals Be-

The Lshi Banner hits things
about right. Our Mr.. Roylance
had to import car load Of apples
last year for his trade alone. The
Banper says:
"The Salina Press very aptly
says that despite her natural re-
sources, Utah is a peculiar state.
No; that is slip of the pen. 1t
is the people who are peculiar.
Every year we send to eastern
markets thousands OF hogs, sheep
and cattle. Every year we receive
from the eastern markets whole
train loads of dressed beef and
mutton. Smoked hams and bacon
from Omaha and Kansas City are
on sale in every country store in
Utah. Our old COWS go to Chicago
and come back to us in the form
of canned cornell beef and bologna
sausage. Thousands of bushels of
fruit rot in cur orchards. We eat
eastern dried apples and peaches
and pumpkins. Every year we
raise a surplus of oats. We get
our oatmeal from New York and
Ohio. We buy cheese and canned
goods, vinegar, soap, molasses,
whiskey, linseed oil, paints, match
es and clothing in the eastern
markets. All can be produced in
Utah. There is something wrong
about the whole business. Utah
can never become a great state so
long as her people spend their
wealth to build up industries in
states east of the Missouri river.
More than anything else, Utah
needs manufacturing industries.
She will never have them until her
people change their ways

Yes. There is something wrong
in Utah, and there has got to be a
changel Just think of it! Thous-
ands of dollars are now being

well, if not quite, almost to cele-

boiled, as in all the food given
digestion must be rendered az
easily as possible. They must be
fed little and often while confined
to the coop. Six times a day or
more is better for the first week.
They should not be fed so much al
to keep their little crops bulged
out all the time. Overlooking
young turkeys kills more than

Should the eggs become dirty
before Matching they should be
carefully washed in warm water,
wiped dry and put back in the nest
Immediately, not allowing them to
become chilled. It's best to avoid
washing at any time during incu-
baton if possible. If others are
also raising turkeys near by it is
very essential to be able to tell
your own at a glance. Consequent
thy you want a mark that is not apt
to wear off or become lost in any
way, but will stay with them until
such times as they are sent to
market. BY taking sharp pair of
scissors and cutting off the first
joint or to the second as you may
desire, of one of the toes as soon
as they are taken from the nest is
the best mark to stay with them
through life. Never cut the toes
after they have been Matched out
any time. Always avoid cutting
the middle toe, on account of roost-
ing.
The first feed f,r young chicks,
whatever they may be, must have
fine grit mixed up with it. Any
kind that is clean and hard will do.
The same kind of feed that should
be given to chickens is also good
for young turkeys, but as they are
more subject to diarrhea than
little chickens, sloppy food of any
description must be carefully
avoided. For the first feed the eggs
that have been taken from the
machine or from under the hens
as unfertile, boiled hard and chop
ped up fine, shell and all together
with some rolled oats mixed in,
makes a splendid feed; a very little
red pepper may be added, but
should only be used when really
necessary. DO not make a practice
o. using it every time you feed.
The turkeys can run out with
the old as soon as they become
rons enough, which should be in
week or 80 after Matching. Bread
made of wheat bran middlings and
corn meal, equal parts by weight,
is fine feed for them. Wheat
bread, such as used at table, is
good also for the first week Or ten
days, and at the present price of
flour is not expensive food either

until his death"
On the 5th of October Fannie would
be 10 years of age, and the squire de
termined to keep an eye on Herbert
Lathrop until that time; then he must
place her in possession of her inheri-
lance, but the bank, the bankers
moneys were to be withdrawn from
that institution and invested in realty,
bonds and Enthusiastically Her
bert Lathrop must be watched, and yet,
as he had been remembered to the tune
of $4,000, perhaps he would deal hon
estly by Fannie.
eff my friend Lloyd had lived another
"a hours" thought the squire, my
Clara would have been left at least half
of this fortune, and [ know Lloyd would
have preferred to have enriched her to
anyone else. Well, so it all goes to Fan
ME and Clarence and Herbert Lathrop.
Who knows-perhaps Clara may wed
him. I can't understand her infatua-
ton for Angus Bruce-why, yes, L can;
he saved her life, and that fact made
him hero in her sight. [ actually be-
lieve that she grieved more at the
thought of his being a murderer than
because OF the death of her betrothed.
Well, now that he is a murderer, she
will soon get over that infatuation."
At the time the will was being read,
there was standing just without the
open parlor door a negress. She stood
little back from the door facing, but
was eagerly bent forward her ears TAX
ing in every word of the instrument
read by the lawyer, and when the clause
was read leaving Herbert Lathrop $780,
900, she clasped her hands together and
muttered to herself:
That's why you killed old marster,
Herbert Lathrop. You feared that
after ne was married he would make a
new will"
And further on, when the clause was
read making Herbert the administrator
of the estate, she said:
81 know enough. A niger can't tes-
tify, but a niger can watch and wait
and pray. Herbert Lathrop, I can do
all of that, and may do more
The day after the will was read Fan
ME returned with the squire and Mrs.
| Hill to Orion. OF course, her marriage
with Clarence would Tow be deferred.
One night ten days after Fannie's

ILLUMINATED BIRDS.
Some Creatures That Fly Light Their
Way in Dark Places.
[To BE Continued


Stories of luminous birds have been
related by sportsmen occasionally, but,
as far as L know, exact facts and data
have never before been obtained on this
most interesting and somewhat sensa-
tional subject. \ friend in Florida told
me that he had distinctly seen light
moving about in a flock of cranes at
night. and became satisfied that the
light was upon the breast Of the bird
Another friend informed me that on en-
tering a heron roollery at night he had
distinctly observed lights moving about
among the birds.
That herons have a peculiar possible
light-producing apparatus is we'll
known. These are called powder-down
patches, and can be found by turning
up the long feathers on the heron's
breast, where there will be found patch
Of yellow, greasy material that some
times drops off or fills the feathers in
der is produced by the evident decompo-
sition of the small feathers, producing
just such a substance as one might eN-
Feet would become phosphoresceat, as
there is little doubt that it does.
The cranes and herons are not the
only birds having these oily lamps, if so
we may term them. A Madagascar bird,
called kirumbo, has a large patch on
each side of the rump. The bitterns
have two pairs of patches; the true
herOns three, while the curious boat
bills have eight, which, if at times all
luminous would give the bird n most
conspicuous, not to say spectral appear
ance at night.
Some years ago party of explorers
entered a large cave on the island of
! Trinidad that had hitherto been con-
sidered inaccessible. To their aston
ishment, they found it filled with birds
which darted about in the dark in such
numbers that they struck the explorers
and rendered their passage not merely
disagreeable, but dangerous. The birds
proved to be night-hawks. known as oil
birds, and in great demand for the oil
they contain, and it is barely possible
that these birds are also light-givers
The powder-down patches of the oil
birds are upon each side of the rump-
