RACE SUICIDE IN TURKEY.

eminent.

Turkey it seems is also confronted
with the problem Of race suicide This
is the more remarkable in Turkey be-
cause the prophet Malhomet made pro-
visions which he though would prevent
such a state of affairs The rule among
the Turks 53 years ago was to marry
young, every man to have several wives,
and each to rear large family.
But all this is changed. The Turk
nowadays does not marry until late and
then he usually has but one wife, and the
families are becoming small to such 3
degree as to alarm the government.
The sultan is trying to remedy this
matter. He is afraid his empire viii be
depopulated. So he has just recently Is.
sued an trade On the subject by which
he abolishes a great deal of the ex-
rensive display connected with Turkish
marriages. He probably hopes in this
way to make marriage easier and less
expensive and so encourage the Turks
to marry earlier and perhaps oftener.

The average farmer who expects
success must be a stock grower and
understand the methods Of breeding,
growing and finishing stock, as well as
producing the grain, grass and forage
with which TO finish them.
The aim IN feeding poultry in the
winter is to give variety and come as
near 70 meeting summer conditions
as possible. Therefore, providing of
green food Of some sort for winter
feed should not be overlooked.
Unfortunately We have as yet dis

The present methods of feeding

is A VERY TRYING ORDEAL
Why Men Get So Tired When Being
Fitted by the Tailor for
New Clothes.

Did you ever watch a man having q

his customers, who was standing pa
tiently as every crease in the newly
made coat was being analyzed in order
that it might be smootned out in the

alton yourself. Are you aware that

stretches as much as he can without
throwing the tailor entirely away from
him. Then his fatigue grows rapidly.
Many a man has fallen down before he
was aware how entirely exhausted he
has been under the ordeal of posing for
the tailor. Not long ago one CT my Gus

De presented to them dry. It IS not
natural for poultry TO eat foods so
sticky that they are like paste. Add
ing a little salt and red pepper to the
mixture occasionally is beneficial, as is
likewise some fresh cut bone or an
equal weight of cut clover; one or the
other Of the last two, IN fact, should
be fed regularly once a day and also
oyster shells for grit. The best results
are obtained by feeding this mixture
alternately with whole grains every
