Under the state laws it becomes obligatory on the part of city council to pass an ordinance shutting the COW out of all cities with a popula- ton of over 5000 people.

TEST COMES FOR
 THE NEW ROAD LAW

PHOENIX, Oct. 1o-Whether the territorial road law is valid or in- valid will be determined today. when the suit of the territory against the supervisors of Graham county, who for two years have refused to make . road tax levy of 25 cents on each &100 valuation of property. comes up for hearing before Judge Ernest w. Lewis, in Solomonville today. The road law passed by the last legislature. under which the territo- rial highway Is being constructed, provides that the supervisors of each county in which road Is to be con structed by the territory during any year. shall levy a tax of 25 cents on each $100, and in counties where no road Is to be built, the tax shall be only 5 cents.
 Taking the stand that the territo rial authorities had not constructed any road in Graham county and did not contemplate building any road during the year, the supervisors re- fused to make any 25 cent levy foi 1909. They again refused to levy for 1910. whereupon the board of con- ! trol took the matter up with Attorney General Wright and filed suit against tho supervisors on their personal bonds.
 | The supervisors of two or three ether counties threatened to refuse e make any levy but when the board shreatened to sue them on their bonds they made no further protest and complied with the law. In Ora. ham county, however, the supervis- CTS refused to be scared.
 The result of the suit will be far reaching. Should the defendants win 1t simply means that the road law is invalid and that work upon the territorial highway must be dropped If the territory wins, however. the validity of the statute will have been established.
 Attorney General Wright has been in Phoenix several days. He left last night for his home in Tucson and will go on to Solomonville in time for the opening of the case tomorrow Robert A. Craig, citizen member of the board of control, and Territorial Engineer J. B. Girand will leave to day to testify before Judge Lewis on behalf of the territory

what as to the way in which they are
fed Really, when the time arrives for
fattening them, / consider 1t only a
finishing process, as / always strive
to have them in good condition, only
needing finishing for the market.
When they are thus handled, If you
will provide plenty of good sharp grit
and fresh water about two or three
weeks of liberal feeding or corn, with
an occasional feed of soft foods, is am
pie time to finish turkeys for the best
markets However it is necessary to
begin thinking of the matter well in
advance to have them in good shape to
take on the finishing touch rapidly.
AS a rule when we first begin feed
ing corn we feed it on the ear until
the turkeys become accustomed to the
high feeding.
Then after we have our turkeys well
on the corn ration we shell the corn
and feed them all they will eat of II.
When our birds are well fattened they
are marketed at once, for we have
found it a dangerous thing to hold the
birds for higher prices as they cannot
stand long after they are well rat
tened under high feeding.
We have learned that If turkeys are
retained very long after they are well
fattened they are liable to contract
diseases which would mean death 10
a number of them and entailing loss,
perhaps of the greatest number oil
them. Therefore, we consider 1t much
wiser to market turkeys as rapidly as
they are finished and fattened.
All the worms and bugs-in fact all
and any insects that can possibly be
provided for them-seem to agree with
them. developing mighty giants OF
| them.
We have found it best to give the
turkeys liberal range and avoid con-
filming them when being fed heavily on
home grown cereals. 1t seems TO De
the nature of turkeys TO have liberal
and free access to all natural sur
! roundings. They will not wander far
away when fed all they require, yet
they seem to prefer to be at liberty 70
wander at their leisure over the hill
sides and along streams in search oil
worms and creeping insects.
| II might be we'll to remember that II
| is the natural foods fed to turkeys that
grow them to the enormous size they
now attain. If it were possible to feed
turkeys after frost comes all the fat
| Juicy worms they desired. just as they
find them over the fields, it would DC
surprising to see quite different tur-
key. He would indeed, be fattcned, and
! of larger frame and bone than those
! furnished with corn or other artiflcl-
al foods. However, that is hardly prac-
ticable. hence the necessity OF using
corn and other cereals.
Bring them up to within about three
| weeks of marketing time and then feec
them heavily for at least two weeks
when they should be promptly mark
eted, so as to avoid any possible losses
as a loss now does not only mean
loss Of poultry. but also of feed ano
time as well, just at the time wher
well-finished turkeys mean several dol
| lars to the owner.
The time is rapidly approaching wher
they will need fattening, and the soon
| or stems are taken for the same, the
| better shape they will be In when yot
! want to market them.
