costs twice as much per pound as
the other components of the mix
ture. In feeding the fowls, the mix
ture should be dampened for the
first morning feed, so that the chick
ems will eat of it more generously
than they would otherwise. But
after the morning feeding the stuff
may be place about mixed in a dry
condition in little hoppers so that
the birds car not waste it and then
there will be all day pecking and
feeding on it, so that by roosting
time the birds will be quite stuffed
with the fee and being ground and
soft they will digest it rapidly, which
adds weight to the1n right along
each day.
The farmer who will take the
trouble to apply this system CT feed

his hens and roosters will find that
he has added dollars to their value,
and superior merit to their flesh.

Alabama too has a bumper crop.
Even the negroes who even plant

through this method that the money

good. We glory in this years yield

ABOUT FATTENING FOWLS FOR
MARKET
MARKET.

The natural condition of a bird, or
fowl, under normal circumstances is
leanness. Not scraWny, or very thin,
but the flesh is normally red and lean.
In this condition the flavor is sweet
and good, with a taste to it that
smacks more of the wild and the I'M
tanned, than Of domestic conditions.
This is especially true Of chickens
that have a large range, and little
feeding in the fall and winter. They
lack in weight, and they also fall
short of that tender and juicy con-
ditiOn of flesh that comes Of less
roaming and more practical feeding.
1t is estimated, or rather it has
been demonstrated, that fowl that
is healthy and out on the range I'M

Good results have been obtained in
even less time,-a pound or more
being possible in ten days; and a
pound is ordinarily one-sixth of the
normal weight of the fowl that is
farmraised without any particular
attention having been paid to it.
The additional pound does not only
represent so much additional weight,
but it also means sweeter, more ten

get this result simply from the

BELIEVE in clubs. Not the
kind you carry in your hand
for the other fellow, but the
kind you join with him for
your mutual benefit.
If I had my way, the legislatures
of every state would pass laws MAX
in it compulsory for the farmers
in every militia distric to organize
clubs in their neighborhoods for
intellectual, moral, economic and
financial Improvement. After that,
I'd have a game warden appointed
for each state to see that the clubs
STAYED ORGANIZED.
The best "club" I know of is the
local organization of the Farmers
Union. Get every non-member
around you to join, and then instill
in each local the spirit of harmony
and pull together.
Even out de the union, you can
organize improvement associations.
Let the members-and there
needn't be too many, for then it
would be unwieldy-gather once a
week at different homes, and make
out plans to beautify their respec-
tive premises and houses, to get
good roads, rural phones, Union
warehouses, cooperative enterprises
generally, more and better schools,
more and better churches.
Discuss also the best breed of
hogs and cattle for your special

CLEANLINESS OF THE TURKS
Wonderfully Fastldious Habits Prac-
tised by Some of the Women Of
Constantinople.

The habits of the Turkish women OF
Constantinople are wonderfully fas.
tidious. For instance, when they wash
their hands at tap from which water
runs into marble basin the fair ones
will let the water run until servant
shuts 1t off, inasmuch as to do this
themselves would render them "un.
clean" They cannot open or shut
door, as the handle would be unclean.
One of these fastidious women was
not long ago talking to small niece
who had just received present of a
doll from Paris. By and by the child
laid the doll In the lady's lap. She
was Mortified and ordered the child to
take 1t away. AS the little girl would
not move 1t and no servant was near
and the lady would be defiled by
touching doll that had been brought
from abroad, the only resource left
her was to jump up and let the doll
fall. 1t broke in pieces.
Another Turkish woman would not
open letter coming by post, but re-
CURED servant to break the seal and
hold the missive near her that 1t
might be read. Also, should her hand
kerchief fall to the ground 1t was Inn
mediately destroyed or given away. so
that she might not again use it.

"HAPPY THoUsH MARRIED"
Wives No Longer Nope at Home
While Husband Spends His Time
at the Club.

If wives continue to grow sensible
at the present rate, the time will
come when everybody will know
"how to be happy, though married"
Time was when the picture Of the
wife moping at home, while the hus-
band took his night off at the club,
was true one 1t isn't SO these days,
a writer declares.
When the modern husband says to
the modern wife, MY dear. I'm go
ing to dine at the club Thursday
night; l may be rather late" the mod
ern wife says cheerfully, Very we'll.
DEAR" and sits down to indite invf
tations to a dozen or SO Of her friends
for a nice little hen party for Thurs
day night.
And there's just as good time at
the hen party as the husband is
having at the club, too. There is a
perfect little dinner of the most ex-
pensive delicacies of the season. and
then there is bridge. And who wor-
ries about what her husband is doing
at the club when there is bridge to be
played? Not the modern wife.
They play for stakes at these hen
parties, too In fact, all the comforts
of the club, to change an old saying
little, are fast being appropriated
by these poor deserted wives.

Discipline Of Children.

For the good of the child, if for no
other reason. discipline should begin
as soon as child is old enough to
manifest its own will. That is earlier
than many people suppose. Discipline
should be conformed altogether to the
good of the child and not to the COM
fort and convenience of the parent, al
though these also are to be consid-
ereS.
Make few simple rules for the
government of the child. and enforce
them. They can be added to as the
child grows in strength and knowl-
edge. And enforcement of these rules
will be better through the means of
commentator or reward for .obedi-
ence than of punishment for disobedi-
ence. Lead the child onward rather
than try to force 1t forward,

readily consented, and. knowing that,
among other worthy things the lodge
prided itself on it's charity, he decided
to make that feature OF the prayer.
Needless to say, he did the thing
beautifully. He painted a realistic

and showed the helping hand extend

One Mans Ex-

Can ada:

MORGAN PARK, Ill. Aug. A. Edi-
tor Chicago Tribune) Your readers
may be interested in an unbiased re-
port concerning western Canada
from one who has been there five
times in the last three years among
the farmers as an evangelist.
The facts are 100000 have gone
and thousands are still going. Why?
One visit there will answer this
question. Soil unsurpassed, yielding
wheat 20 to 60, oats 40 to 1870, barley
so to 40. flax 10 to 20, potatoes 900
to 500 bushels per acre, freedom
from rust and insect enemies to
grain.
This land is still offered at SIS to
$25 per acre. one-quarter cash, bal
ance in five annual payments. Two
crops often pay all cost. For 80 years
l have travelled the western states,
but for good, large and quick re-
turns, enterprise, contentment and
general prosperity there Is no coun-
try which surpasses Western Canada
One man said to me: II put 500
acres into wheat last year on Dor
rowed capital and made some mon
ey. 1t went 80 blu. Per acre. l sold it
at Fort Williams for s102 per bu. An
other: I've been here IL years and
have never had q failure; some
yields have gone SO bushels of wheat.
Another: Out Of ten crops | have
had seven that went 40 bu. to wheat
Mr.. Head of Russell, Manitoba, re-
ceived $4,000 bushels of oats from
500 acres. Another party from 1900
acres received $4,000 bushels of oats.
There is some poor land on which
few have failed, which is true of
any country, and others may and will
fail for want of energy AS to the
winters, they are cold at times, but
we prefer it to the slush and chill of
