Men of Palestine, already some of
the state papers are beginning to ex-
press surprise that Palestine has not
long ago closed up the bonus matter
for the new State railroad. Are we
going to let our reputation suffer in
this matter? We have been several
years establishing a reputation for do
ing things. Are we going to let that
reputation suffer now? Get busy.

The Herald force has been worked
to the limit this week. The merchants
are hustling, and our presses have
been running day and night to keep
up with the orders for printing. The
local merchants are hustlers, and they
mean to get the trade to Palestine If
there is any way of accomplishing
such results. Incidentally the Herald
feels very good this evening.

Palestine Advertisers
Deserve Your Patronage.

Just scan the pages of the
Herald and note the Palestine
merchants who advertise. You
will find them liberal people to
deal with. They represent the
very best of Palestine's bust
ness people. They invite you
to their stores because they
want you to come, and because
they appreciate your trade.
They are the merchants who
can be trusted to give you the
best for your money-good,
honest goods for your honest
dollars. You cannot go wrong
when dealing with Herald ad-
vertisers.

Remember, This Is
A Good Old Town.

There are hundreds of Pal
estine people who have not yet
learned the lesson of giving,
when the interest of the city is
at stake. These have done
nothing towards securing for
Palestine a new railroad. The
opportunity is given them the
same as it is given every other
citizen. Let them give. If the
committee fails to call on you,
you call on them, and contrib
ute your mite towards secur-
ing the road and towards pro-
noting the general prosperity.
AS a good citizen you owe this
much to your town.

Tomorrow we will write 1907,

Another year is numbered with
the past, and it is deemed a sea-
son in which we usually take a

will be we'll if all can find their
year devoid of failure, and if not

done, useful to self or some 9TH

a strange looking account if per-
mitted to look through the inven-
tory of each individual person.
It is probably well that such in
sight is denied us. It will be
sufficient for each to take a view
Of his own life, and ascertain

How to Kill Fowls,

The best method of killing fowl Is
by seizing it by the feet with the left
hand and by the head with the right
and then stretching its neck with a
jerk to the utmost extent and at the
same time bending its head back
ward, SO as to dIslocate Its neck and
sever the spinal cord. A fowl may
be killed by holding 1t In the left
hand with its head hanging down
ward and then striking it hard blow
on the back of the head with heavy
stick, like ruler, or it may be killed
quickly by chopplng of its head. 1t
may also be killed quickly by twisting
the neck until it is dislocated and the
spinal cord severed

into retirement. The future is

men. Senator Foraker is a fight

fights on the wrong side. In his
present effort to put Roosevelt
''in a hole" he will come out Sec

pie have faith in their chief mag

We are glad that Taft has con-

phere. A thousand pities if a

able to prevent the nomination of
the upright, able, fearless Judge

Preparing Bird. For Exhibition.

Washing white birds is one of the
greatest accomplishments of an ex-
hibitor, and few there be that possess
the accomplishment. says Farm POul-
try. The few that do possess the Sc
cret have an advantage at the start
that is hard to overcome.
The most successful exhibitors of
white birds wash in three waters-a
very warm water With lots of suds
made with soap or soap bark In a
great majority of cases; second tub
which contains water which has had
the chill taken off and is perfectly
clean this forms the first rinse; the
third tub forms the second rinse and
Is perfectly cold. This is generally
the final rinse, but all the soap must
be got out or the feathers will curl
The drying room must be kept close
to 80 degrees F. The birds are gen.
orally allowed to dry overnight. They
are then gradually accustomed to the
normal temperature. Some of the best
washers give repeated washings.
Ammonia is often used in small guam
titles in the washing water.

One should mark their turkeys for
future identification. The leg band
bearing your initials or number can be
readily placed on the shanks of young
turkeys about the time they begin to
wander far from home, says Feather.
Some mark their turkeys by clipping
the toe nails or one or more toes or diff
ferent toes Many different brands Of
markings can be made use of by this
means. The toe punch may be used
and Identification marks stamped
trough the toes. Some use rubber
stamp and indeliDle ink to brand the
wing feathers. This cannot be de-
pended upon.
A needle and indelible ink may be
used to prick an indelible ink mark in
to the web Of the flesh and skin at the
union Of the pinion with the second
joint of the wing. This can be done
and the mark never obllterated.

FRESH AIR IN HOUSES.

should Not sleep In the Open.
There is a vast difference between
using well ventilated or open front
fresh air houses and permitting birds
to roost - =. in the open. says p. I.
woods in Reliable Poultry Journal.
Fresh air is essential TO life and
health. 1t is one of the best things
that we have. but even oar best pos
sessions may be abused. and it is
sometimes possible to have too much
Of good thing. While ro0sting out Of
doors in the trees may be productive
of no harm during summer weather
and early autumn. we firmly believe
that much harm may result by per-
mitting them to continue to occupy
these airy perches after the severe,
changeable late fall and winter wealth
er sets in. Birds kept under such con-
ditions could not be expected to give
satisfactory returns in either eggs or
fertility. With an open front house
they have all the advantages OF the
pure air obtained by sleeping in the
open and none of the disadvantages.
II
They are well protected by the tight
roof overhead and the snug back and
sides of their roOsting quarters. The
cold, chilling winds cannot reach them,
and storms cannot injure them.
OF the many types of fresh air poul.

best examples of satisfactory buildings
for breeding and laying stock: The

house, with wide doors which open

ing a two part door in the front of
each pen. the upper half Of which may
be made to give place to burlap or
muslin screen. Nearly all closed poul-
try houses may he adapted to the fresh
air plan by simply substituting screen
of heavy unbeached muslin for the
upper half Of one window in the
south front Of each pen, provided the
house possesses sufficient depth to per-
NIT the birds to 'rOOst in the rear pOr-
ton without being exposed to direct
