IOWA AND THE YUKON EXPOSE
y ZION

The Iowa legislature will be asked
at its present session to take official
notice Of the Alaska Pacific ex-
position, which will be held during the
summer of 1909 in Seattle, Wash. A
state appropriation for building de-
voted to the exploitation of Iowa pro-
ducts will probably be asked, and the
representatives who will appear before
legislature will be we'll prepared to
present 2 convincing argument.
e In an advance notice sent out by the
press bureau of the exposition refer
snce is made to the aid being given by
organizations of Washington citizens
who emigrated 10 the west from other
parts OF the country. And of these
the Iowa society is the largest by far.
There are $4,000 former Iowans in

The primary purpose Of the exposi-

territories in the United States and
the Dominion of Canada, and to make
known and foster the vast Importance
Of the trade of the Pacific ocean and
Of the countries bordering upon it.

sons live In this section of country in
the United States and Canada within
a radius of 1000 miles OF Seattle, who
are directly interested in making the
exposition the true exponent of their
material wealth and development.
The exposition will represent an ex-
penditure of approximately $4,000, 900

will excel in capacity the old Brook

bridge traffic In the world. The big
gest bridge, which, OF course, will
span the noble Hudson, may cost any
where between $50,000,000 and $780,
100000, while the other structures
will run the aggregate cost OF New
York's bridges up to about $3.50 ,0O0,-

a Fair Census.

In Washington the census bureau is
even now making preparations for the
national census to be taken In 1910.
1t is a vast work, involving infinite de-
tail, and must be carefully planned.
The millions of people who inhabit the
United States are to be enumerated,
together with the livestock, and com.
prehensiYe reports also are sought on
the innnmerable industries of the
country, its development and re.
sources. That all of this can be done
with absolute accuracy is out of the
question, but that it can be done in
far more thorough manner than the
census records of the past bear out in
many. many instances is certain, says
Poppyland. The faithful enumerators
are in the minority, and in self-protec-
ton the interested public should see
to 1t that returns as nearly correct as
it is humanity possible to make them
should be sent to Washington for
final summing up and publication.

BEST POULTRY AND EGGS.
The Consumer Is Coming to Realize
That They Are the Cheapest.

Consumers of dressed poultry are
gradually realizing that the best table
poultry and eggs are the cheapest for
them to buy; that the edible portion
of nicely fattened. well fieshed fowl
Is nearly twice that of thin one of
the same size-sufficient to more than
offset the difference in price. The
quality and flavor of the meat of the
we'll tieshed and fattened bird is also
superior to that of the poorer fowl.
though it necessitated but little diff
ference in the labor required to mar
ket the two kinds.
1t happens, too, that the old claim
that IAN egg is an egg" has silently
crept out of existence. Whatever may
be said regarding the color of the shell
as an indication of it's contents, it is
certain that dozen eggs of good size
and of uniform shape-and color also
lis better purchase than a dozen of
assorted shapes and sizes at the same
price. And it is the nice, clean, fresh
looking, eggs heaped up in basket
that always attracts the purchasers
eye and leads him back again to the
same place when more of this staple
is wanted.
AS the people become better ac-
quainted with this matter, says North
western Agriculturist, they will insist
upon having the best quality, and the
dealers will be able to pay the poultry
men better prices and buy more stock.
AS there is more profit in this better
quality, the breeder is certain to re-
ceive his full share of the benefit.

RAISING TURKEYS.
How One Successful PouItryman Han.
dies His Flock.


In regard to raising turkeys, will
say that at first we feed them stale
bread and milk, not sloppy, and corn
meal wet with milk, so it will stick to-
gether. After they get few days old
we let them run in the lucern to get
bugs and grasshoppers, but do not let
them stay out too long at time, as
the little ones get thirsty. When they
come in we have plenty of feed and
water for them, says writer in Rocky
Mountain Farming. After they get a
few weeks old We feed them cracked
or whole wheat, and as soon as the
grain is cut we never feed them until
the stubble is cleaned up. We drive
them out twice a day and let them fill
up and the more grasshoppers they
can get the better We had lots of
grasshoppers here last fall. | think
they are the finest thing there is for
turkeys. But above all. we must give
them good care and not let the chick.
ems rob them of their feed. Another
thing that is good for them is to cut
up green lucern with a pair of shears
and feed it to them: they will eat lots
of it. This is as near as can tell you
how we handled our turkeys last year
