TURKEYS FORCED TO EAT.
Machinery Used to Stuff the Birds foI
Market.


In England turkeys are generally
sold according to the rule of weight
per pound, price per pound. That is to
say, if a bird weighs twelve pounds.
it is sold at twenty-four cents per
pound; if its weight is fourteen
pounds at % cent per pour and so
on.
Naturally, all breeders endeavor
TO make their turkeys as plump and
heavy as possible before sending
thin to market Systems of fatten-
ing are extensively carried on among
poultry farmers, turkeys being put
into pens and fattened for period
varying from three to ten weeks,
either by hand or with machines.
The machine mostly used for this
purpose cons SITS of brass nozzle
which is inserted in the mouth Of the
hird-attached to piece of india rub
her tubing, and connected with cyl
in6er.
In this cylinder is supply of liquid
food, made of buckwheat or some
other meal, milk, and little fat, and
it is so arranged that when a PEI Il
is pressed by the foot portion of the
food, varying according to the stage
of fattening-for it is increased IN
quantity each day until the process
is completed-is injected through the
TIE and nozzle into the birds crop

ton last week, and out of % who
took the examination he stood

Senators and Representatives
have now returned from their
homes prepared to engage in the
great fights which are destined to
to take place in both Houses of
Congress this winter. There are
many great questions to come up,
and they will all receive the con-
sideration that is due their impor-
lance, aod this makes it very prob
able that the present sessi n will
continue uutil in June or July
The railway rate question will
probably be the first big matter TO
be fought out. The house will
pass the administration measure,
but the rub will come in the SEN
ate. A great many OF the most in
fuential senators are opposed to
the policy of the President, and at
this time no one can tell what
bearing the result will have on fu-
ture political developments. There
is bound to be parting of the
ways. Some who have heretofore
been trusted and true friends of
the president will turn against him
and some who have been out in
the cold will be taken in by the
administration and given some con-
sideration. The pure food bill is
one of the important matters to
come up for consideration, and
there promises to be some lively
fights before it is passed The
statehood bill and the Santo Do
mingo treaty are questions that
will be thrashed out. 1t is not
likely however that the tariff will
be tinkered with at this session
unless it be with relation to the
Philippines.
