That iendTd race the News
skys JON Williams is making IS
oISaSof lid most. Iudicrous things OF
lie dan. 81 rather the statement
made by the News Is. That paper
contradicts itself before it gets
through with the subject, as it adj
yertises. the fact that he is making
no campaign at all and does 1t over
his own signature. 1t goes on to
state that it is glad he is out lit
lie mt last among the voters. Then
e undertakes to make the impress
sion that he is going to get some Re
publican votes. Why, bless your
dear life. he will not get the Demo
cratic vote by whole lot, as there
are many prominent Democrats VINO
openly declare they will vote Tor
Uncle Ben Stout. The results OF
tbe election will convince the News
that. it was sadly mistaken about
Williams and his popularity. Even
we're he popular, he is not quallt1ed
like Mr.. Stout is for the place as
every one knows and qualification Is
certainly one of the essential things.
Williams has not yet answered our
question as to what he would do with
the Industrial bridge he and others
own. if he were elected county com
missioner. We hear, however, tlilt
he claims not to have cent in it
and explains this statement with the
remark that he sold half of his
stock in the company for what he
paid for all his stock. Thus he con-
fesses to owning stock in the bridge,
which to some of the Democratic
speakers is crime. The bridge
question certainly comes back on the
Democrats like a dull thud. They
are beginning to wish they had
never sprung it in the campaign,
Ashburn does not need to discuss
the two-cent rate, if he does not see
INV use of it, as he stands pledged
for such measure. The conven-
tion FIAT nominated him put that
in the platform. That convention
was the first in the history OF aar-
rison county to declare for sueh q
measure. md Mr.. Ashburn is betor',

Bear in mind that it takes grit, pa
tience and a considerable amount of
gumption to develop a well-tralned
horse from a nervous high strung colt.
Stables with narrow doors are apt
to cause accidents to both man and
beast. 1t costs no more to have them
wide than to have them narrow, and
they are much better.
Probably the brood mare, if she is
good. is the most valuable animal on
the place. There is little danger OF
overstockins the market for the pres
ent. 1t is nothing uncommon for a
good colt to bring more than the mare
cost.
The scrawny colts sometimes make
good horses; good horses sometimes
have very ordinary colts. Because
they are thoroughbred should not make
them breeders. They should have
qualities themselves.
a horse that is a reasonably good
eater, is very much like a man who
eats reasonably. He does good work
and is not sluggish. Whatever is eaten
that does not go into strength must be
worked off, or go into fat.

How to Dross Turkeys.

We have an inquiry from one Of our
readers at Senola, Ga. asking how TO
dress turkeys for shipping, and we
shall. in a general way, give sufficient
information to guide one in this matter.
The first thing to do is to find out
just what the market wants, whether
dry picked or scalded, and whether
wanted with feet and heads on or
whether drawn or not.
This information is necessary be-
cause markets differ much, and, of
course, the public must be pleased. If
to be Gry-picked and not drawn the
turkeys must have nothing to eat for
twenty-four before being killed, so that
the crops and stomachs may become
entirely emptied. This is important, as
any food left undigested will surely
sour and spoil the sale of the turkeys
If head and feet are to be left on the
turkeys are first suspended by the feet
and killed by pressing sharp-polnted
knife up through roof of mouth into
the brain.
AS soon as this is done begin to
pluck the feathers from the body and
complete the job as quickly as posi-
Bile. because after the muscles con
tract the feathers tighten. Leave the
feathers on up 70 the first joint of the
wing and also about two inches on the
head. Wash the beak and feet. but do
not SINCE the body or soil the feathers
on the neck.
Do not remove the crop or intestines.
Hang the fowls In cool place until the
animal heat has passed out and thea
pack in boxes, laying us many on bot.
tom with backs down as can be fitted
In without crushing. Then lay In an
other row, reversing their position, and
so continue Until the box is filled. II
when all are packed, there is still room
In the box. I'LL it with paper or clean

When Willie Simminds. of McIndoes,
VT, was about eighteen, his folks
moved to Boston, leaving Willie in
McIndoes. After a while Willie de-
cided to JOIN them, so started out alone
for the big city.
He had never been in the city be-
fore, and thought every one should
know evory one else. as in the town
where he came from. Arriving in
Boston, he was rather surprised Mt the
greatness of everything and at the
number of people on the streets.
After looking around for a while and
not seeing anyone that he knew. he
finally saw a man in uniform whom
he thought must be a very important
person, and would certainly know his
father. So he walked up to the SUI
prlsed officer and said: Say, MIST;
have you seen anything of dad aroun
he?e|-Boston Herald.

If the market wants them scalded,
with heads and feet off, they may be

after they have ceased to struggle
plunge them in hot water, scarcely

enough TO loosen the feathers. Pick
them clean and remove all pin feath-

done, plunge them in a tub of cold wa.

ends of the legs through the opening
made TO remove intestines. Pull the
skin over the end of the neck and tie
it with a small string. Let them cool
thoroughly and pack as before stated.
If there are large and small turkeys.
pack the large ones on bottom and the
small ones on top, but be careful never
TO pack them until cooled. BE care
full not TO tear or bruise the flesh. as

Parlla,nonts of Canada and New Zealand

ParlIaments OF Canada and New Zealand
Canada's original name was New
France" and a large proportion of its
population, principally in the Province
of Quebec, is of French descent and
speaks the French language. Most of
the French-Canadian NJ. P.'s, espe-
cially the Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrld
Laurler. can speak excellent English
also. They may use whichever Ian
guage they please in the Canadian
Parliament, but there has been an in
creasing tendency during recent years
to employ English. In the New
Zealand Parliament, where the Maories
or tattooed natives have separate rep
resentation. the case is somewhat diff
ferent. Interpreters translate the
speeches of the AluoIi members into
English, and us the Maories are very
fluent and indulge in good deal of
poetic imagery the process becomes
protracted and tedious at times. The
record for sustained verbosity in the
New Zealand Parliament Is held by a
Maori member named Sydney Tai
whanga. who was once heard In our
own Exeter Hall. In one debate on
native affairs he held the floor for
nine solid hours.-London Chronicle.

"The bees sting is trowel, not n
rapler," said nature student, as lie
helped himself to honey. "It is an
exquisitely delicate little trowel with
which the bee finishes off the honey
cell, injects a little preseryatlve inside,
and seals it up.
with its trowel-like sting the bee
puts the final touches on its dainty
and wonderful work With this sting
1t pats and shapes the honey cell as a
mason pats and shapes a row of brick.
Before sealing up the cell it drops q
wee bit OF poison into the honey. This
is formic acid; without it, honey would
spoil.

We have received many letters from
several sections of the country saying
that the fowls were troubled with
colds-some slightly, some more severe
ly, and. some yet in advanced cases of
fully developed roup.
The first attacks require but n few
days time to cure, but when once rOup
in an liberated form develops. there is
no possible chance to save the fowl
and the sooner it is killed the better it
will be.
Colds, or to be more exact, the first
symptoms of roup. are the result of
exposure TO cold rains, damp houses or
filth.
Remove the cause and you effect
cure, but If you neglect to do so, the
disease goes on step by step until 1t is
beyond the power of man to cure.
Keep the house and yards clean,
drain off the water, and tighten up the
roof so that it will not leak. Fix up
the scratching shed so that the fowls
may work without having to stay out
side; give them clean, fresh water to
drink and good, wholesome food to eat,
and they will not catch colds and roup.

Those who raise poultry for profit are
rapidly learning that it is better to buy
an incubator for Matching the chicks
than to force the hens to lose time from
laying. This loss of time, to say moth
ing of the trouble necessary in looking

will more than Offset the cost of an in
cubator in one season.
One of the principal reasons why in
cubators are not more generally used,
especially by those who raise only a
few hundred chickens. is lack of knowl-
edge regarding their usefulness. When
once the people understand thoroughly
their care and general management,
and are made to see wherein they can
save money by using them, the incu-
bator will occupy a place wherever
poultry is raised.

In the Wisconsin Farmer we find m
article on the Virtue of Deep Plow-
ing" rhe method described answers
the purpose, but with good two
horse plow and jointec "a small plow
attached to the BEAM one man could
do the work with one team as we'll
and much faster than If done in the
way described.
One of our subscribers, of Holt. Mo-,
sends the following communication:
l have been considerably interested
in what you have to say on preparing
sod land for crop OF corn. | have
a plan which l think is very salts
factory, though my p!owng is general
ly done in the fall. 1 use two plows,
one following the other. The first
is twelvc-inch plow run to n depth
of about two inches, while the second
cut fourteen inches and is run in the
bottom of the first furrow, cutting
about four inches deep, thus making
the furrow a total depth of six inches.
The second is mostly loose dirt and is
thrown on top of the slice of sod which
is placed in the bottom of the deep
furrow every time.
l have found that land plowed in
this way requires very little work to
prepare an ideal seed bed in the spring
and two civilizations will keep the
corn crop almost entirely free from
weeds or grass. You will see that III
this way the sod remains in the bot
tom of the furrow during the first
year, and one never experiences any
difficulty on account of the cultivators
bringing it up. providing these are run
fairly shallow.
The shallow year this land should
be broken to the bottom of the sod.
which is well rotted by this time. The
second crop. when such a plan is car
ried out. will be rather larger than
the first, as it will be found that the
sod has completely rotted the first
year.
| We have known number OF in
stances where plan of this kind has
| been carried out with much success.
| Where one is absolutely sure that the
new meadows will come through the
winter in good shape 1t is generally
advisable to plow sod in the fall. This
most farmers will agree on, because a
better opportunity is afforded for the
sod to rot. However, there will be GER
tain conditions under which the plow-
ing of two burrows in the manner de.
scrlbed may not be altogether the prop
er thing, If, for example, the soil is
composed of any considerable part Of
clay, plowing it to Il depth of six or
seven inches will bring good deal of
harsh soil to the surface. OF course it
will be weathered during the winter
and spring, but even then we doubt
If the inert material will be sufficiently
browen down to insure a good crop.
However, we like the plan suggested
by this subscriber of getting rid of the
surface tough sod. This in itself will
possibly in many cases justify the ex-
ira labor involved in plowlng ground
in this manner. II others of our sub
scrlbers have tried this plan and have
found it to be satisfactory we shall
be glad to hear from them.

During the long winter months the
laying hens must have some kind of
animal food, and since all natural sup
plies are exhausted we must provide it
for them.
Green cut bone is the best and per-
haps the cheapest, though 1t requires
some labor to grind II for the fowls.
Any kind of lean meat-the offal
from slaughter houses and similar pro-
ducts, all make fairly good substitutes
for worms and bugs, but, be 1t what it
may, laying hens must have a meat
diet.
Table scraps make good, well-bal-
anced ration, and where they can be
fed while fresh and sweet. the hens
will need no other meat of any kind.

Observations From a Tourist,

Citizens of Atchison do not realize
the great number of people who travel
from place to place, seeking recreation
and amusement. Most of the male
travellers are old; few of the women
are young-not more than one in twen-
ty. 1t is very unusual TO find young
man travelling; the bulk of the travel
ers are old men looking for rest and
relief from business cares, or for
health, and most of the elderly men are
accompanied by elderly women.-Ed
