Raising Turkeys

Mrs. B. F. Hislop of Milford, Ill.,, writes for Poultry Topics long ar ticle about her experience in raising turkeys, from which few practical points are presented to readers of The Herald. She says she has given her undivided attention to the bronze variety as it is the largest and most beautiful. It took her several years to learn how to raise them without too much care and trouble. She sets their eggs under chicken hens and when the potts hatch she has turkey mother that has been setting on china ready is placed in roomy box coop and made to sit down. Have the coop rather dark, then slip little turkey or two under her. As soon as she is quiet and accepts the little birds, give her the number she is to have. Never in all our experience had but one hen that would not take the poults. We keep her shut up for day or two, then let her out, but keep the poults in board pen till they become tame and have learned to eat; the old turkey mother won't leave them. We do not feed the poults till they are two to three days old. Let them eat little sand if they like, or fine grit or grass. They get quite slim and active, and have digested all or most all of the yolk of the egg, the last part ab- sorbed just before matching. In a few days the little things have lost all fear of the hand that feeds them; then we turn them out with the hen, driving her to the pasture, where we wish them to range while young. The old hen won't go far; she knows her busi- ness.
 "We feed them while in the pen three or four times a day. Last sea- son we fed nothing but chick food; later a little cracked wheat or steel cut oatmeal; never cooked an egg or made any curds. After turning them out we fed them twice day, three times if convenient, but in short time fed them but once, that in the evening. We let them roost where they choose in pasture of about ten acres. It is all nonsense to worry about rain and dew, the old hen can shelter her young against the former and will also protect them from the latter. We have paid no attention to this for several years and have never lost any poults from either. Last year with all the floods, which everybody knows were the worst the central west has experienced for several years, we never lost any poults from the down. fall of rain. Weed seeds, bugs, grass hoppers, berries, grass and very little grain seems to be the natural food for birds, our domestic as well as the wild ones. A heavy grain diet

Mr.. Fowler, who heads the only con-

Democrats of Wisconsin Ex-

"The Democrats of Wisconsin will
take advantage of the split in the Re-
publican party in their state and elect
Democratic governor, with a good
prospect of throwing the electoral vote
OF the state to the Democratic nominee
for president" said F. M. White. a
leading attorney of River Falls, Wis,
who was at the Merchants hotel last
night.
The feeling is intense between the
rival Republican factions" continued
Mr.. White, "and if George w. Peck is
the Democratic nominee for governor
can see no reason why we will not win.
Either the La Toilette or the stalwart
factions will prefer to see Peck gov
ernor than either of the other fellows,
and while some free silver Democrats
may vote for La Toilette, Democrats
generally will seize the opportunity
and will vote their straight party
ticket this fall as they have not done
for years.

The son was graduated, in 1885, from

He came to st. Paul soon afterwards.
The law practice that he then began
prospered, and within a; few years he

Aldermen Indorse Aid. Corn.
ing's Adverse Report on the
Proposed Ordinance.

Aid. Corning reported last night, at
an adjourned meeting Of the board Of
aldermen, against the proposed ordi-
nance ordering the street railway
company to extend its Selby line tracks
from Chatsworth street four blocks
west to Griggs street Mr.. Corning,
to whom the matter had been referred
reported back that the proposal was
unreasonable" His principal argu-
ment was that, as the company intend
ed to run it's Merriam Park cars on
faster schedule, the Griggs street ex-
tension was no longer important.
This adverse report was adopted and
the proposed improvement shelved.
Despite the appeal of H. p. Hall, who
appeared in company with Thomas
Cochran and E. S. Chittenden on be-
half of the Commercial club, the alder
men declined to pass the assembly res
olution appropriating $1,000 for the
cost of distributing at the ST. Louis
fair pamphlets advertising st. Paul.
Hall Guarantees as Much Again.
Mr.. Hall said that Minneapolis had
already made a similar appropriation
for its own benefit, and that if the
council would give $1,000 he'd guar
antee to raise that much, or twice as
much, from st. Paul business men. A
vote for or against the appropriation
would be vote for or against the in
terests of st. Paul.
The resolution was approved by Aid.
Corning, Dobner, Elder and Holt, the
nays beinb Vice President BantZ,
Aid. Buschmann, Dahlquist, Hinkens,
Moriarty and Rohland.
Permission was granted to the Min
nesota Transfer Railway company to
lay spur track on Wabash avenue,
from Hampton avenue to Raymond.
After voting adversely upon the as
sembly resolution appropriating 81 900
to pave the intersection of Sixth and
Rosabel streets, the aldermen, on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Dahlquist, reconsidered
their vote and sent the resolution back
to the committee on streets.
Change Name of Street.
The name of Floral street was chang
ed to South Mackubin street.
The ordinance granting to L. S.
Gushing and George E. Cabot permits
sion to lay conduits for transmitting
heat and light to their business build
ings was referred to the committee on
streets.
When the board was about to vote
on the ordinance granting to the Union
Manufacturing company, of st. An
tmhony Park, the privilege of distrib-
uting light and power beyond the COM
pany's present territory and as far east
as the Seven corners and Rice street
and University avenue, Aid. Dobner,
who had introduced the ordinance, Sc
cured an adjournment until z: 80 o'clock
next Monday evening. At that time, he
hoped, all the members would be pres
ent. In the absence of Aid. Huber he
did not care to have the question voted
on last night.
