Turkeys are easily fattened and
take on flesh and fat more quickly
than 10 other fowls. but one must go
at it in the right way. If the turkeys
have had free range all summer. you
cannot faten them with any degree OF
success after shutting them mp sud
denly in small Enclosures. They soon
fret off all the fat they gained on the
range in trying to get out and leave
the food untasted in the feedina
troughs Feed them we'll when they
do come up they will then have no
occasion to range SO far. Keep feed,
ing them every time you catch sight
Of them close to home: it will not be
long until their range will be cut

often for the feed, says the New York
Tribune Farmer. Some turkey keep,

others, when they have got them thus
tame, turn them into grassy in

ing, but not too much.
1t isn't well to fatten turkeys-or
try tom corn alone. A heavy diet
of new corn often results in a cholera
like sickness with turkeys as it does
with hogs. A mixed grain diet is
better; wheat, oats and corn. 1t is
claimed that turkeys fattened on the
range suit the tastes of the epicure.
as the flesh is of richer color. almost
golden, more tender, and of better
flavor than tina of turkeys fattened in
close quarters. But turkeys that
roam far out and roost in out-oftbe-
way places often get into trouble on
account of the damp nature OF the
ground they travel over or SQUAT
upon, and come up quite lame when
they do come up, scarcely able to
walk; and the owner, with consider
able growing. declares that some
body's dogs have been after them
though he can find no marks on the
imping turkeys. The trouble In these
cases Is not dogs, but rheumatism
to which young turkeys are particular
ly susceptible. When you determine
that it is rheumatism, try to have the
turkeys stay home and roost off the
ground, then feed them cornbread
made decidedly yellow with soda
There is nothing in the line Of medi.
cine for rheumatism that equals good
doses of sado three times a day.

in RE CAPITOL COMMISSION.

esSS0y - bAs8s
Distinguished Visitors to the City.
Bismarck was enlivenei today By
the presence Of the capitol commission
and delegations from Grand Forks and
Fargo representing the building trades
councils Of the two cities which have
united In securing the restraining
order Of the supreme court against the
commission. Ex-Mayor John Dinnie
and n. J. Moran, prominent contrac
tors Of Grand Forks, represented that
city and President George Rusk OF the
Fargo building trade council, and T. r
Riley, 9 heating contractor, did duty
Tor the metropolis. These gentlemen
spent the morning looking over the
capitol and this afternoon interviewed
the capitol commission as to what Il
proposed to do regarding the calline
for bids. They expect to return te
their homes this afternoon on the be
lated train. 55,5 x a..
In response to an inquiry as tc
what they hoped to accomplish by
their visit, President Rusk said thai
they hoped to find out II any bids had
been received by the commission and
who they were from, for one thing, and
another was to talk over the entire
matter Of capitol construction to the
end that a satisfactory understanding
might be arrived at by the parties in
interest. The other members OF the
delegation were extremely retdcent
and gave out the impression that they
had something up their sleeves that
would be sprung at the proper time
unless they received the consideration
at the hands Of the commission they
felt was due the architects and build
.ers Of the state. # ssss. s
" As far as the capitol commission
was concerned the members felt that
In view Of the restraining order the
whole matter was in allegiance pend

court on the 25th. ..s
At the afternoon session OF the
capitol commission various contractors
and architects appeared but had moth

plans or bids were received and were
informed that none were received ant
that no action on them would have
been taken in any event until afte1
the 25th inst-wlen the matter comes
up in court. ~.
At the afternoon meeting thu
time for receiving bids under the ad
vertisement inviting proposals fo,
the building was extended until
December 18th, and 1t is also clearly
defined that in figuring on the amount
of funds that will be available for the
reconstruction of the building, the
bidders will not be justified in figuring
on more than $780, 900 as the maximum
sum that will be available for capitol
purposes, this being the limit by the
legislative act. Such an amount can
be secured by the issue and sale at
par OF certificates in anticipation OF
the funds received from the sale OF
capitol lands and no more.
