ing young turkeys, as found by exper-
iment at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Some persons feed
everything they imagine the poults
will eat. 1t must be remembered
that in the wild state they fed most
ly on bugs, worms and seeds. If the
grower wishes to succeed he must
feed a ration that is made up of SIM
liar ingredients. For the first meal
is made up of finely cracked wheat or
corn and very little graduated meat
scraps. Meat in a ration is very good,
because a little infected meat will
disturb the bowels in a very few
hours and cause trouble.
1t is not advisable to feed wet food
unless properly given When using
bread soak it in sweet milk, press out
as much milk as possible before feed
ing. Care must be taken never to
use sour milk. After day or two,
hard-boiled eggs can be added to this
ration. There is very often trouble
in over feeding. Turkeys should
never be given more than they will
eat willingly. Feed them early in
the morning and at frequent inter-
walls during the day. Avoid the use
of rich food grains in hulls, and mil
let seed. Improper feeding is the
principal cause of large per cent of
loss due to the fact that it causes in
digestion. This can be prevented to
some extent by feeding finely broken
charcoal.
After four or five weeks the fowls
may be given whole wheat and crack
ed corn in addition to their other
food. When feeding grain avoid the
use of poor, shriVeled and musty
grain of any kind. 1t is a mistake to
feed inferior grain to any kind of
fowl. A flock of turkeys that wan
der continually should be fed at least
once a day. During hot weather
more feed must be given. Turkeys
fed this way will grow faster and ma
ture earlier.

How to Raise TURKEYS
Mammalian Kans March D

Manhattan, KanS. March DIST
1t is just as easy to rear turkeys as
chickens;the most difficult task is TO
know how to care for the poults. AS
soon as the poults are ready to leave
the nest, the mother hen and her
young should be put in coop. The
coop should be kept dry and clean and
free from insect parasites. If old
coops are used, be sure to clean and
disinfect thoroughly before using--be-
cause no kind of young poultry is so
susceptible to the effect of unfavor-
able conditions as young turkeys.
Chief among the insect parasites are
lice and mites, which attack the
young directly after Matching. The
best remedy is to remove them from
the body of the hen three or four
days before Matching, by the use of
insect power. On the young, the in
sects are usually found ON the head,
under the throat, and about the
wings. They may be destroyed by
the use of sweet oil. A very small
amount must be used as too much is
injurious. Kerosene should never be
used for this purpose. The coop in
which the hen is placed must be
large enough to provide ample space,
because small coop will annoy the
mother; she becomes restless, tramps
about, and kills her young
The mother should have plenty of
food and fresh water. AS soon as the
poultS begin to run about, let them
out on the grass when it is dry. but
be sure to keep them in when the
grass is wet, because there is Moth
ing more detrimental to their growth.
There are various methods of feed

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Discoveries made
by detectives investigating the death of
John NJ. Quinn, in his home in South
Michigan avenue, have lead them to
believe that they have encountered a
murder mystery similar In its essen
tial aspects TO the Vermilya case ex-
cep; that pistol instead Of poison is
alleged to have been used in taking
human life.
Wien the police arrived. Quinn told
them and DR. Fred A. Bonfeld, who
also was summoned, that lie had been
shot as he lay asleep, but did not
know by whom. Mrs. Quinn declared
her husband had been shot By burg
lar according to the detective She
was taken in custody and held as a
suspect.
Examination of Mrs. Quinn the fol-
lowing day led to her being asked to
reveal her past life. She did this, but,
according to the police, told OF her first
marriage to a man named Mcdonald
and neglected to tell them of her second
marriage to Warren Thorpe, In Jack
son, Mich. This fact led the detectives
to Jackson. where they learned that
Thorpe, too, had been shot and killed
while asleep In bed.

Garbage in New York
Is Accommodating at
an Alarming Rate.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-The drivers
strike in the street cleaning depart
ment began to make itself felt today
when ashes and garbage accumulated
in several hundred thousand house
holds. Although the drivers quit work
only last night. facilities for taking
care OF refuse in the average private
house and apartments are so limited
that if the strike continues for twenty
four hours it will cause Inconvenience,
and longer than that may develop a
serious menace to health.
The drivers struck because they did
not like the new method of removing
refuse at night. The men were called
after Mayor Gaynor had told the street
cleaning commissioner to notify the
city employees that the city was not
in the position of private employer,
and that they could strike as soon as
they saw fit The strike is organized
by the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters.

Two distinct Depocratic successes in
New Jersey are the election of Thomas

The success of these two men is

not in such strong terms.

the Republicans were almost univer-

the members of his Oakland stock COM

young and pretty girl named Mooney,

while working in Oakland and married
her. himself taking a small part in the

jolly Mood.

Jolliest prisoner in the jail--that is
how Allison NJ. mcfarland, who will
stand trial in January for numbering
his wife with cyanide of potassium, is
known to warden and deputies at the
county je''.
With his wife dead and his two little
children, Robert and Ruth, practically
orphans, he spends his time laughing
and joking with whoever will talk to
him. His merry laugh rings out time
and again during the day from the cell
in which he is imprisoned.
Instead of a man facing the electric
chair, he might be jolly visitor at a
summer hotel.
THAT case against me is a joke-a
real joke" he told one of the deputies
today. why should 1 worry about
such fool thing as that Why, there's
not the shadow of truth in the absurd
affair. Everything that they try to
prove | can easily refute or show in
its true light.
Anyway, you can bet Tn not worry
ing about it."
On the subject of his infatuation for
Miss Bunny" Bromley, the blonde
Philadelphia stenographer, whose let
ters are being held as evidence against
him, mcfarland Is more reticent than
upon his own affairs
He said to an attendant, however, in
a mood of especial condolences:
t'Ill go free so quick that the prose-
cutor won't know what's happened
Then I'll be able to marry Florence"
Although he rarely speaks of basil
ness, he has done some Joking about
advertising.
'eYou know I'd have hard job pay

in this affair. Why. the papers have
wasted an awful lot of space with
stories about me and absurd stuff of
all kinds.
"If I could have got that much ad-

AS far as his presidential aspirations
are concerned, the result was a disas-
ter. Worse than that, it was a calam-
ity. Whatever hopes he might have
had have been dashed hopelessiy to the
ground by the voters of New Jersey in
their views expressed at the polls on
Tuesday.
Another straw, which shows the way
the wind was blowing on Tuesday, lies
in the fact that in the counties where
Wilson campaigned most actively he
was utterly repudiated, while in Essex
county, which he refused to visit, the
Democrats made relatively far better
showing than in the counties where
Wilson spoke.
candidates, Harry V. Osborne, in Essex,
and George M. LaMonte, in Somerset,
both of whom wanted to go to the SEN
ate, and for whom Wilson made per-
sonal appeals, went down to defeat by
big margins. His own county-Mercer
Union and Morris were other counties
that went back from the Democratic to
the Republican column by decisive YER
diets.
Change of Aspect.
AS candidate for the presidential
nomination the situation which con-
fronts Governor Wilson is this Last
year he was swept into Office by plu-
rality of $4,000, forty-two out of sixty
Democratic assemblymen We're elected
with him and four of the seven sena-
tors then chosen This year the Re-
publican plurality in the State on the
Assembly returns is in excess of 10000
more than 1t is usually expected to be
in an off year. Only twenty three
Democrats have been elected to the
Assembly and the party remains in a
minority in the Senate. The whitening
effect of the Wilson regime is tersely
shown by the fact that the Legislature
will be Republican on joint ballot this
year by a plurality of seventeen, while
last year it was Democratic on joint
ballot by twenty-one.
Just few days before election John
j Clifford, president of the Woodrow
Wilson League, told Governor Wilson
at Trenton that the Democratic ticket
in Essex county would be beaten by
10000. The figures demonstrate that
Mr.. Clifford was off in his calculation
as the showing was far better than
that.

which last year went Democratic by
5000, this year is Republican by from
