By all means fatten your turkeys.
Do not send them TO market half fat,
as so many do. says ]. c. Clipp in Ma
tional Stockman. You can have your
turkeys in fine market condition with
but little extra trouble. Get them up
about ten days before you expect TO
market them and confine them to a
small yard. To fatten them quickly
we find no better ration than sweet
potatoes and cornmeal. One can use
the small and unstable potatoes in
this way to great advantage. Cook
them and just before removing them
from the fire add the cornmeal, feed
ing the mess when it is cold, two
pounds of meal to one peck of pota-
toes. If the mess is mixed with
skimmilk, instead of water, it will
produce a superior favor. Do not fail
to give plenty of fresh water and feed
four times per day Grit should al
ways be placed where the turkeys can
have free access to it.

Potash Fertilizers.

Waldo +. Brown writes for The
Weekly Gazette, Cincinnati, that the
office of potash as plant food is to help
form the starch, and such crops as
corn and potatoes, which contain large
amount of starch, need more potash
than those that have but little starch.
Light, sandy and peaty soils need 1t
more than clayey soils. The muriate
gives a good quality of potatoes on
light soils. but on heavy clay the sui
phate produces the better quality. Ii
used freely on garden crops, it should
not come in direct contact with the
seed, as it may prove too caustic, but
the amount in the fertilizers usually
sown with wheat will do no damage.

TEACHERS IN PHILIPPINES.

Hog Shortage Next Year.

Prices are and have been good for

ton waits upon feed, and scarcity of
feed has compelled swine growers to
reduce their stock. He is fortunate who

done in many cases where it is not
done. There will be money in hogs next

At this time MORO Castle Is crumbling
with the weight of years and is vi small
account as a fortress. Spain was 100 years
In building II. The fort was begun In
1867 by Oregon CASTOR, governor OF Ha-
vana, with money from the receipts from
Mexico then owned by Spain. Millions
OF dollars were squandered upon IL. and
when IL was completed II was acknowl
edged to be one OF the most formidabl'
forts I'm the world.
But Spain was not satisfied and $1,000,
600 more was expended upon the castle
during the governorship OF Juan Francis
co Guymas. who. when the work was fin-
ished, said: Pass IL who can!"
MOST DREADED OF PRISONS.
MORO eventually became the most
dreaded OF all the prisons of Spain. Men
OF all classes. rich and poor, high borf
and humble, have entered its gates never
to return TO their friends. OF MORO Cas-
tie II might have been truthfully said
"All hope abandon ye who enter here.
IL was really more a prison than as 9
fort that MORO became known through
out the civilized world. Hundreds upon
hundreds of men have died the slow death
OF despair In it's subterranean vaults
From IL there was no escape unless the
magic power OF money was at hand TO aid
the unfortunate.
Some years before the war of this coun-
try with Spain MORO Castle was restored
10 Its original use az a fort and Cabanas
became the principal prison OF the island
and one of the most wretched in the
world
