TURKEYS FORCED TO EAT.

machinery USED TO stun the 6iroS
for Market.
In England turkeys are generally
sold according to the rule of weight
per pound, price per pound. That is
to say, if bird weighs twelve pounds
1t is sold at twenty-four cents per
pound; if its weight is fourteen
pounds at % cents per pound, and so
on.
Naturally, all breeders endeavor to
make their turkeys as plump and
heavy as possible before sending
them to market. Systems of fatten-
ing are extensively carried on among
poultry farmers, turkeys being put
into pens and fattened for a period
varying from three to ten weeks
either by hand or with machines.
The machine mostly used for this
purpose consists of brass nozzle
which is inserted in the mouth of the
bird-attached to a piece of India rub
Der tubing. and connected with a cyl
inder.
In this cylinder is supply of liquid
food, made of buckwheat or some
other meal, milk and a little fat, and
it is SO arranged that when pedal
is pressed by the foot portion of the

of fattening-for 1t is increased in
quantity each day until the process
is completed-is injected through the
tube and nozzle into the birds crop

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which 1 learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure i'll eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of

If you would get rid of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the

use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and
