MEHMED v. RULES;
ABDUL HANID DETHRONED
Turkey Has a New Sultan, Brother
of the Former.
cONSTANTINOPLE GREETS HIM
The New Ruler Was Born November
8, 1S44-He Was Heir to the
Throne, Being the Eldest Of the
Family.

Constantinople, Turkey. - Abdul
Hamid has been deposed and his
brother, Mehemmed Rechad Effendi,
has been made Sultan in his stead
under the title of Mehmed v. The
new Sultan was proclaimed by the
firing of 101 guns.
The dethronement of the old Sui
tan was accomplished by unanimous
vote of the two houses of Parliament,
acting as a National Assembly, i'm
mediately following its receipt from
the Sheik I'll Islam of his authorize
ton. The announcement was greeted
with universal JOY. The streets were
filed with cheering throngs, and
houses throughout the city were dec
GRATED with flags.
Abdul Hamid will be permitted to
live hereafter in palace in some re-
tired spot, where he will be closely
guarded. He has disgorged large
sums of money that he had Sc
questered.
Thanks to the iron rule of Chefket
Pasha, the Young Turk military COM
mander, perfect order prevails in this
city. Reactionaries and Moslem
fanatics have been arrested by the
thousand and led through the streets
ito Imprisonment. In the War Office
barracks alone there are 5000 pris-
oners.
These arrests were based Oh lists
of members that we're seized on the
premises occupied by reactionary So
cieties. They were made as a neces-
sary precaution to prevent any trou-
BILE in connection with the change of
Government.
Mehmed v. of Turkey was born Mo-
vember 3, 1874. He was heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, according to
the Mussulman law, as the eldest
member of the reigning family, ex-
cept the Sultan. Because of the close
surveillance kept over him by the
Sultan's spies, he is little known as
a man. He had his palace on the
shores of the Bosphorus.
He is tall and well proportional,
but inclined to stoop. His features
are regular, but he has hooked nose
like that of Abdul Hamid. His eyes
are blue, and his hair and beard are
light red His manners are very
gracious and easy, and he IS exceed
ingly generous and kind. He is not
at all fanatical, but he is sincerely re-
ligious. He plays unusually we'll on
the piano, and is great admirer of
classical music.
Like the deposed Sultan, the new
ruler of Turkey is a good draughts-
man, and he sketches we'll. He has
two wives and several children, three
of whom are boys. His wives are
both highly educated, and are the
daughters of distinguished Pashas.
They dress at home in the French
fashion.

Feeding For Eggs.

To produce a number of eggs in
winter l feed the fowls at daylight a
light feed of mixed grains, about four
quarts to each 100 fowls. AS soon as
they have their first meal the vessels
are filled with warm water, and these
vessels should be kept free from ice
by adding boiling water when neces'
sary during the coolest weather.
At in the morning the fowls
should be given all they will eat of a
warm mash that has been steamed
over night in covered mixing box
The last feed should be given them at
8 o'clock in the afternoon, and made
up of mixed grain thrown in the lit.
ter To increase the egg production
cut of raw fresh bone and meat
should be given the fowls twice a
week during cold weather. - A. G..

MARKETING CHICKEN FEATHERS
Dry Pick and Save the Feathers Until
Yon Have Enough to Sell.

YOn Have Enough to Sell.
Tons of feathers are probably lost
each year in small amounts because
farmers and poultrymen do not think
it worth while to save the few ounces
plucked from birds used at home and
for local market. Another reason
probably is that the prices are
thought to be too small to make saw
ing these few feathers seem worth
while.
If a few minutes be taken when
plucking is done to separate the vari-
GUS grades and to practice the best
methods Of curing them, there is no
reason why a nice little sum could
not be saved in each case, and the ag-
gregate make considerable advance
in the annual returns from poultry.
Chicken and duck, as well as goose
feathers, are always in demand, and
should be saved, but ought to be kept
separate, and the larger feathers
placed by themselves. In no case
should chicken and turkey feathers
be scalded, because the hot water re-
moves the animal oil and reduces the
grade very greatly. Such feathers
scalded command only fraction Of
the price paid for dry picked ones.
Another good point is to keep the
white separate from the colored feath-
ers, because white stock brings a
higher price than dark. After pluck
ing, the feathers should be spread out
until the moisture is thoroughly dried
out. During this time they should
be turned daily if they are spread at
all thickly. Turkey body feathers,
while too large as they come from the
bird, are often chopped and used in
cheap pillows.
A leading dealer writes that hen
and turkey body feathers have only
saving value when dry picked, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. They
should be laid out on the floor and
forked over daily, and should be in a
marketable condition in three days,
when they can be shipped in burlaI
bags. These grades are worth in
mid-autumn between four and five
cents pound. Chicken quilts should
be thrown away, never mixed with
softer body feathers, because they
spoil the grade. Turkey quilts should
be graded; the long tails placed in
one box, those from the first two
joints of the wings in another, those
from the last joint in a third. The
shorter quilts and those from the
rump, ranging from five to eight
inches, placed in burlap bag. After
thorough airing theym may be packed
for shipment. Moisture allowed to
remain in them rots the quilts quick.

1t is best to set at least eight hens
at time. Start them on china eggs
and If they settle down well put in
good eggs the next night. When sup
plying the eggs dust the hens and
eggs with insect powder and apply
the powder twice again before hatch
ing. Test the eggs about the eighth
day, put the good eggs under fewer
hens, and reset the other hens. Do
not be discouraged if some of the
hens leave the eggs many hours at
time. The eggs will hatch, although
a little later than If they had not been

NUMBER on HONS m A FLocK.
The Subject Discussed From the Sim
gle Point of Utility.
BY M. Ray Dawley.

There is considerable controversy
over the subject of the size Of the
flock In the Australian laying con-
test six hens are kept together. Some
breeders even keep hens in individual
pens. Laying aside the matter of
breeding and considering only the
utility points, we want to know what
size flock should be to make the
most profit Sometimes thirty hens
will lay as many eggs as fifty hens in
the same pen. The reason for this is
that, with fifty in the flock they were
too crowded. BY reducing the num-
Der we better the conditions. Sup
posing house eight by ten feet to
be large enough for twenty hens, we
give each hen the privilege of eighty
square feet of floor space, while II
the house were built sixteen by TWEEN
ty feet, each hen would have 800
square feet to roam over, or four
times the room. The latter house
should be large enough for eighty
hens. The former house would cost
about $25 and the latter one some
$50. That is to say, it costs $1.25 to
house hen in the small focks, while
in the large focks 81 pays for the
house.
So we have double advantage for
the hen by building the house large.
Moreover, the sunlight and ventila-
ton in the large house are better;
hence, it is easier to keep dry and
healthy.
A factor of as much Importance as
the above is the amount of labor re-
Quired. In having only one water
pan to fill, one place to feed, one
place to gather eggs and one roost to
clean, instead of four roosts, the
work can be done in much less time,
and therefore the profits are more
and the cost of equipment less.
On the other hand, large house
cannot be drawn about like colony
house. It has to stay in one place.
The hens have to come out on the
same ground, and so find less green
food and forage than the hens scat
tered about in small focks. Diseases
are very contagious, and so the risk
Is greater in the large house.
/ have had splendid results keep
ing two hundred hens in one flock in
a house sixteen by fifty feet with a
yard 100 by 800 feet. Part of the
yard is in sod and part is plowed and
sowed to oats or wheat twice each
season.

chatterboxes in the Hotel.

Now that the English travel so
much it has often surprised me that
they have not insisted on a greater
degree of privacy and comfort in
hotels. One family rises early, the
other goes to bed late, and the chat
tering, laughing and coughing go on
necessarily. All this discomfort
comes from the communicating doors,
which run through the whole floor
Of hotel, and which are SO badly
fitted that every sound can be heard
through them.-London Graphic.

Poultry Yard Notes.

Charcoal is essential to the good
health of the chickens.
Pillow at least part of the chicken
yard up, spread little lime over it
and SOW thickly with clover seed.
The bulk of poultry comes from the
farm and not the fancier. but the best
poultry usually comes from the fam
cier or small farmer.
A house 8x72 is very convenient
size for sman flock of fowls. If a
large flock is to be housed two or

more small ones would be better than
very large houses.
One rooster is SUFFICIENT for ten or
twelve hens or pullets.
If you force your utility hens to
moult early, you will be sure of a
good supply OF eggs in the winter
when prices are high.
The incubator is always on the job,
never has to leave the eggs for feed
or water, and requires less time and
care than the average busy old sit
