DELEGATE MAKES
 STRONG SPEECH

President Taft has promised Senator Jones that if the bill giving Alaska an elective territorial legislature were passed, he would not veto it. He has always before threatened that he would. So we are going to get our territorial legislature, not without a great deal of opposition-oppositio I am sorry to say, much of which is right here at home-sorry to say it. Because how an American with any warm blood in his heart can denounce man as demagogue who is standing for an elective territorial legislature in Alas ka | don't understand. But it is being done. No opposition of that kind is going tU avail. We are Americans, and we are entitled to an American system of government, and we are going to get it. We are going to defeat Mr. Taft to get it. He is going to be renominated by exclamation and defeated just as badly. But he isn't going to veto that bill. It was my platform l have stood for it ever since. 1 have been making a fight against the greatest odds, but we are going to get that bill through and we are going to get the mining bill passed.-Delegate James Wickersham, in speech before the Fairbanks Con- mercial Club, Sept. 28.

we're living on that side who were de-
pendent upon a single ferry to reach
the city of Seattle, their main market.
AS this is really a part of a county
road, it is believed that they should
have the support of the balance of the
county in their demand for transporta-
ton. 1t was shown that the present
ferry is inadequate and often out of
repair.
A resolution was passed asking for
the establishment of a board to take
up the country life problem. This
is to be composed of a member OF
the teaching corps of the State Uni
versity, from the State College, one
high school superintendent from
east of the mountains. high school
superintendent from west of the
mountains and the state superintend-
ent.
Eight candidates we're initiated in
the fifth degree, and on report of
several Oranges, it was shown that
most of them we're prosperous. They
are adding new members and their
influence is extending.
A committee was appointed consist
ing Of Fred Nelson, Ralph Hewitt and
D. .. Getty to superintend the cir
culating of the local option petitions.
A committee was appointed consist
ing of Frank Terrace, A. Jorgenson
and J. D. Dean to appear before the
Commissioners in regard to the mat
ter of the fight the settlers are max
ing in the Green River district.
The proceedings were closed with
a fine clam bake given by the citizens
of Des Moines ande Lake Grange,
and all went home feeling that they
we're glad to have been there.

Pomona Grange Meets.

The quarterly meeting Of the King
County Pomona Grange held at Des
Moines on the 18th of the month was
not as largely attended as usual. This
was owing to the fact that a mum ber
of the members were busy in the hay
field, and could not spare the time.
However, those who were in attend
ance we're royalty entertained, and
spent very pleasant day. The meet
ing was held in the hall owned by the
Orphans Home, and at noon the
luncheon was served in the grove near
the landing.
Mr.. G. e. Cline, who is working
under the supervision of the State
College in the interest of Country
Life'' addressed the gathering, and
gave some excellent advice as to the
benefits derived from the civic center
idea. This is the plan now advocated
in farming communities where q
central building will be used for all
neighborhood gatherings, making it
social center. They are usually
under the direction of Changers or
the Farmers Union. The idea is
growing rapidly and bids fair to solve
some of the "Back to the farm" ques-
tions. Mr.. Cline made strong plea
for better agricultural teachings in
our high schools, and especially in
high schools in country districts.
This address was followed by one by
Prof. Jas. Taylor, of Seattle devoted
to political questions of the day. He
had been a granger in early life and
gave great deal of history of the
trials of the order in Ohio and sur
rounding states.
On returning to the hall, the Resolu-
ton Committee, consisting of j. ID.
Dean, Fred Nelson and j. 1. Gilmore,
presented the resolutions presented
by the members.
Several resolutions were presented
supporting the demand for local OPP
tion election in King county outside
of incorporated cities. This was
passed unanimously. A resolution
was passed supporting the County
Commissioners in their contention
that King county tax payers should
not be compelled to appear before
Pierce county courts. This is in the
matter of condemnation of lands
which are known as the Green River
Water system of Tacoma.
A strong resolution was passed de-
handing that Congress pass a parcels
post system, and the members were
requested to correspond with their
Congressman, requesting that they
vote for such law. A resolution
was passed endorsing the fight of the
east side residents of Lake Washing
ton are making for a second free
ferry. 1t was shown that 20, 600 people

TURKEY RAISING

poults. The chickens will hatch them
just as we'll as turkey, but when it
comes to the rearing, the young
poults thrive better with the turkey,
for they get more of their natural
food, which is insects, bugs and seeds.
Then the lice on the chickens are
detrimental to the growing turkey.
After the poults are Matched do not
be in hurry to feed them; it is best
that they should remain under the
hen unmolested for "a to SO hours to
gain strength. Then they may be re-
moved to a dry, sunny place, away
from the other poultry. The first
food should be stale bread moistened
with sweet milk and then pressed
dry. To this may be added dandelion
leaves cut fine. | have had them eat
the dandelion in preference to the
other feed. AS they grow older, add
a little cracked corn and wheat, cot
tage cheese, and, in fact, anything
they will eat. Do not over-feed. A
little at time and often until they
go on the range and then morning and
evening to induce them to come home
will be enough. They should be pro-
vided with grit, charcoal and a liberal
supply of fresh water. II the weather
is pleasant they may be allowed the
range of the farm at four weeks old.
A flock of turkeys ranging over a
farm is benefit to any farmer, be-
cause of the many troublesome insects
they devour daily. Turkeys rarely
destroy wheat, oats or corn in the
shock. This can not be said of any
other poultry. Young turkeys are
very susceptible to the effects OF
unfavorable conditions. Therefore,
they should be carefully protected
from the attacks of parasites, also
from excessive heat and dampness,
until they have gained sufficient size
and strength to wander with the
parent turkeys and are able to care
for themselves upon the range. To
guard the young turkeys against lice
and mites, the plumage of the turkey
hen should be busted with insect
powder, worked down to the skin.
Careful attention should be given
this. The young poults should also
be examined closely for lice and
should any be found, they must be
freed of these enemies. They may
be found on top of the head, under
the throat, under the wings or around
the vent. The lice may be destroyed
by rubbing small amount of clean,
unsalted lard upon the head and
throat; insect powder is usually
sufficient for the other parts OF the
body. Another disease which has
become very troublesome in the east
and is coming west is called "Black
head" because as the disease pro
crosses the head becomes black. Nc
remedy has been found. In case OF
any contagious disease, isolate the
affected birds and bury deep or burn
the bodies of any that die. Disinfect
the coops very thoroughly thus keep
ing the disease in check.

Among our native fowls the turkey
is entitled to rank first. No other
kind of domestic poultry has come
into such general use for Thanksgiv-
ing and holiday feasts. Although to
an extent domesticated, the turkey
retains the instinct of a wild bird,
and this should be recognized by
those who wish to make a success Of
raising it. The nature of the turkey
is now quite we'll understood and few
people would think Of attempting to
raise them in confinement, thus the
farm more and more becomes the
home Of the turkey. Its many acres
form a natural breeding spot, and
provide an abundance of food such
as grasshoppers, bugs and plenty OF
green stuff that is particularly pleas
ing to his taste. No matter what
variety one may keep for breeders,
he should always select those that are
strong, vigorous, healthy and we'll
matured. The hens should be over
one year old, and OF good medium
size. The male may be a yearling or
older, and he, too, hould be OF medium
size, strong and vigorous. He should
not be akin to the hens in order to
get strong poults. 1t is not necessary
to have more than one male, should
you want to keep as many as six or
h0
readily induced to select nesting
places in empty barrels or boxes, ii
fed near them. 1t is best to prepare
the nests few weeks in advance of
the laying season, which usually be-
gins during March or early in April
Turkey hens produce such a limited
number of eggs, and are almost In
dispensable to the successful rearing
of the poults. This makes it neces-
sary that they hatch them, so they
will own and raise them. Frequently
a turkey will lay more eggs than she
can cover conveniently, in which case
it would be best to give part OF the
eggs to a chicken at the same time
that you set the turkey, then the
pouIts may all be given to the turkey
to rear. 1t takes from II to % days
for turkey eggs to hatch. The eggs
usually are fertile. frequently every
egg in the nest will produce poult.
if one has three or more turkey hens,
and wishes one or two of them to lay
the second lot of eggs, he may pre-
vent them from setting. Place the
first eggs under chicken and by the
time she has covered them for three
weeks the turkey will become broody
again, when she can be given the
eggs. She will own the poults and be
as proud as though she had done all
the incubating herself.
In this way you will have the turkey
Matched Just as early and will also
have more eggs from the same number
of hens. 1t will be of a further adj
vantage to start the eggs under chick
ems, as you will not need to keep
them so long as you would if you wait
for turkey to become broody. The
fresh eggs will produce stronger
