Care OF Breeding Turkeys.

When feeding turkeys for market the
breeding stock for next years crop
should not be allowed to feed with the

Why Roads Should BE Improved.

There are many striking examples OF
the value of good roads. Wherever
roads have been permanently improved
it is found that there has been very
great increase in value Of the adjacent
property, says Good Roads Magazine.
Among examples of this sort is that OF
Jackson, Tenn. From figures recently
published it is shown that since 19OO
e-city has increased 5000 in popula-
ton. The roads were improved through
issuing bonds to start with, and they
have advertised the city so much that
families are constantly coming in from
adjoining counties, with the result that
land values have increased in some
cases from 90 to 100 per cent. Property
in the city has also greatly increased
in value.

Good Road Notes

1t is not good road unless good the
year around.
A good road is rather to be chosen
than patent springs.
The state of Rhode Island recently
voted in favor of spending $6OO,00O in
the improvement of her highways.
In the state of Pennsylvania all the
counties except seven have applied for
state ami under the new good roads
law.
All thr leading farmers and financial
interests of Lowndes county, Miss, are
behind a determined movement 10 get
better roads for that county. 1t is
likely the county will issue bonds.

WINTER eco PRODUCTION.
Points on the Housing, Care and
Feed Of the Flock.

Whatever grains are fed should be
scattered in deep litter. Straw we find
best. writes s. r. Bartlett in Reliable
Poultry Journal-not simply an inch
or two, hut a foot in depth, so that it
will mean abundant work for the hens.
Hens cannot gorge themselves If they
have to wor, hard for their food, and
every hen should be taught that If she
will not work neither shall she eat. In
the matter of mash we have but to say
that it appears most natural to feed 1t
Mt noon, then only in a limited meas
ure. Fed In the morning, birds are
satisfied too quickly; fed at night, 1t is
too quickly digested. Do not give the
hens all they will eat. Let them al
ways be hungry enough to scratch for
an additional grain. If their hunger Is
appeased and they NOPE around, there
will be few eggs.
OF green's we prefer whole cabbage
as our chief reliance, but here, too,
variety is desirable. Chopped apples,
cut clover beets mangel wurzels, or
turnips-in short, any green food that
is palatable and inviting is good, but,
again, do not surfeit the fowls.
Grit should be before them all the
time Even then we believe 1t bene-
fetal to mix limited amount in the
mash couple Of times week. Good
grit contains essential materials for
shells as we'll as for keeping up the
healthy condition of the fowls system.
Ground oyster shells are useful.
Ground bone is wonderful help to
egg. production. The birds relish 1T
amazingly, and if fed little every day
they will thrive well on it, but do not
feed stale or decayed meat. Let 1T be
fresh. both for the quantity and quality
of the eggs as well as the health Of the
fowls.
OF course an unlimited supply of
fresh water is Indispensable. This
plays more important part than many
t',ink. At least once day the water
Id be renewed, and if the weather
, vc-y cold it will pay to give warm or
tcpid water to the flock to drink.
Expensive houses are not essential,
but comfortable houses are. What does
this involve? Room. Do not over
crowd. You will obtain more eggs
from q small number of hens properly
housed than from a large number
crowded. How much room does a hen
need? An allowance Of ten square
feet per hen is right.
Let in the pure outdoor air. Hens
shut up in an almost Theoretically seal
cd house cannot thrive. Oxygen Is as
needful to the fowl as to the owner.
Abundant fresh air and drafts need not
go together. Drafts arise from imper'
feet construction or lack Of repair.
Cleanliness is essential to sanitation.
Remove the droppings frequently and
see that no vermin are allowed to live
where your fowls do.

HOME TRADE HINTS.

Well kept streets are important. The
town that has dirty appearance fails
to make a good impression upon the
strangers who may visit it.
Every business man Of a town should
give heartiest support to the good roads
movement The better the roads lead
ing to town are the more will the
farmer seek the place.
Towns are gagged according to the
business that is transacted within their
limits In good towns are found good
schools and churches and other public
ard semipublic institutions that are
necessary in civilization.
Every school district should have its
farmers club, and meetings should be
held regularly for discussion of mat
tiers of local Importance. These clubs
can be made power for good and
great factors in local improvements.
They should be educational and social
as well.
Too much attention cannot be given
by merchants of the town to the ex-
terror of their business places. 1t is
through the sense Of sight we often
get our first impression. and a neatly
arranged store. with attractive signs,
is likely to bring customers who would
pass by unless attracted by the tidy
appearance of the place.
The American citizen who sings with
ardor "My Country IT'S of Thee" and
then fails to give his home town his
support and sends his money away to
help build up some other place lacks
one of the important qualities Of good
citizenship Show your patriotism and
lore of home and country by assisting
r. the support Of every local industry

that there has been generally favor

Feeding Green Bone.

Some years ago Inland Poultry in re-
ferring to green bone as poultry food
said that it's great value lies in its well
proportioned and numerous constitu-
ents, which are just what is needed by
the hen to produce eggs. In it we have
lime for the shell, mineral matter for
the yolk and albUmen for the white.
There is only one objection to green
bone, which is that it is somewhat con-
centrated. If fed entirely on 1t the
hens will eat too much; hence it be-
comes necessary to feed it in connec-
tioI with such bulky food as clover
or bran.

Chicken Wisdom.

Never allow your poultry to go to
roost hungry.
Scatter the evening meal near the
roOsting places.
Do not be too sure that your poultry
have no lice. Examine them and find
out.
Scalded milk substituted for water
will often prevent bowel trouble in
young chicks.
Feed your chickens on boards and so
avoid the cape worms that are liable
to be picked up from the ground.

handcar and started for the scene. A
severe snowstorm came up, and after
going six miles the handcar was
blocked The physicians then drove
to the wreck.
The wreck occurred on the new line
being constructed from Casper to the
Shoshone reservation, which is to be
thrown open to settlement next Au-
gust Most of the persons killed and
injured were workmen on the way to
the grading camps.

account OF FIGHT
With PULAJANES
GOV. CURRY OF SAMAR TELLS
OF VICTORY BY CONSTABU-
Larry AGAINST REBELS.
FORCE is ATTACKED
UNDER FLAG OF TRUCE
Official Report from Gov. Gen. Ide
Says 46 Were Killed or Wounded
in Clash - How Executive Made
His Escape.

Manila, March 27.-Gov. Curry, in a
report to the government on the recent
engagement with Pulajanes at Mag
taon, says:
HAD a hard fight, in which Capt.
Jones, of the constabulary, lost half
of his command, gaining magnificent
victory in the face of overwhelming
odds. The Pulajanes, under flag OF
truce and while promising to surren-
der, Immediately opened fire, charging
the constabulary. The leader of the
Pudajanes ordered his men to first
wipe out the constabulary and then to
capture myself and the other Amer
leans. I have requested a company of
federal troops Immediately, and later
on when joined by this additional
force will prepare. to wage a war of
determination against the fugitives,
which is the only alternative.
'The constabulary did splendidly,
though their inferior firearms, which
were minus bayonets, placed them at
a disadvantage. With the assistance
of the federal troops we will be able
to exterminate the fugitiveS, who are
now in the mountains and will destroy
the crops. The natives of Samar, with
the exception of the Pulajanes, are in
sympathy with us and are assisting us.
Every town is endeavoring to assist in
the determination of the fugitives.
Several prominent Filipinos were pres
ent and witnessed the treacherous ac-
ton of the Pu1ajanes. Judge Lobinger
and all the other Americans are safe"
Gov. Ide Tells of Fight.

Fear Prices Will Go un.

Oshkosh. Every city in the Fox

the hands of coal and ice combine
which dictates prices to the consumer
without direct reference to the sched-

demand A canvass reveals that Osh-

the retirement of two pioneer dealers
made the close formation of the COM
bine possible. The first act was to adj
vance coal 90 cents a ton at Appleton.
The consolidation OF ice properties
leads to the fear that squeeze" is
contemplated in that line. The action
of the coal dealers in advancing the
price arbitrarily on the very threshold
of spring has caused indignation and
effort will be made to break the COM
bine by securing independent compe-

Any contracts obtained by means of

a guarantee from this society to re-
imburse the company for losses, etc.
