Shirley GilIiland Asks Question
Glenwood, Iowa. Nav 81. 1

GlenWood, Iowa, May 81, 1870
Editor Burlington Hawk Eye-Dear
Sir: 1t seems to me the spirit and
attitude of cur senators throughout
the session have been unfriendly to
the administration They have shown
disposition to attack and destroy
rather than that of friendly purpose
to assist in shaping and forwarding
administration bills. President Taft
is treated as thought he were either
a fool or a public enemy These men
demand endorsement from Republi-
can state for work like this. And
they demand this endorsement by way
of destruction of another faithful pub
lie official-Governor Carroll. The
question is thus brought squarely up
to the Republicans OF Iowa.
Shall we strike down the head OF
the party in the state to show our ap-
proval Of the efforts of our senators
to strike down the head of the party
in the nation?
Very truly yours,
SHIRLEY GILIILLAND.

TURKEY RAISING
 IS PROFITABLE
No Other Kind of Live Stock that WtlI Return So Much Money to Successful Producer
 as Poultry.
GBy R R. WEArHERFoRpl


 There is no other kind of live stock that will return so large a profit to the successful producer as will poul- try, and no kind of poultry is more profitable than turkeys when handled properly.
 The fact that turkeys will from the time that they are six weeks old till winter sets in gain the greater part of their living from bugs, grasshoppers and waste grain that they pick up in their wanderings over the range as sures their existence through this period at little or no cost to the grower.
 They may be termed self-sustaining foragers where they have sufficient range
 The chance for profit in the produc- tion of turkeys is gradually improving as result of more general use of the flesh
 They are now used not only for roasting. but to as increasing extent IS cold cuts for sandwiches and for alads. and a large number of poults re used for broilers.
 Late matched poults do well for this purpose. and, while there cannot be luch opportunity for growing poults maturity when they are matched ate in the season. they may be sold 1T broilers at a good profit
 No dish is more valued in our large
 ties at the present time than broiled

low wagon Is a decided advantage at times on the farm If the roads are firm. With a low wheeled rig a man can go into a hay field or corn field and load the rack with half the labor involved with high wheels.
