MAKE PROFIT IN c0cKERELs
Neglected by Many Poultry Raisers
When They May Be Made Profit
abIe-Fatten When Young.
az R. G. wEATHERsToNEl


Too many poultry raisers neglect
the cockerels, when in reality they
may be made very profitable Many
persons do not know what to do with
them, and they grow up without much
care and are marketed when in poor
condition.
Cockerels ought to be separated
from the puliets as soon as the sex
can be easily distinguished. The
cockerels may be pretty closely con
nned If they are to be fattened for
market, and as they are of no other
use they should not be allowed TO
range. because this prevents the lay
ing on of fat
Feed them twice daily on porridge
made of corn meal, four parts; mid
dlings or cheap -four, two parts; beef
scraps, one part, chopped very fine!
This should be mixed with milk OF
water and should not be too sloppy.
but just SO it viii drop from the end
of wooden spoon.
If any is left after feeding it should
be removed and the feed dish thor
oughly cleaned and scaled.
The birds should be kept as quiet
as possible and given plenty of shade
and clean water.
When they are three months old
they will begin to grow very rapidly
under this method of feeding and are
soon ready for the market Their
flesh is firm, but not hard and dry as
those of the birds that are fed too
much dry grain.
Many poultrymen use small coops
containing four to six birds each, but
eockerels can be confined just as well
If confined in lots of say so, with
floor space of about so square feet
They should have a lot large enough
to give them some exercise, but not
too much
The time to fatten cockerels is when
they are young, because it costs less
than when they are six or seven
months old. Fattened at three or four
months their flesh is of much superior
quality than when allowed to attain
their growth.

P0lEKRYMlS

Get rid of the culls as early this fall
as possible.
Cleanliness is half OF the battle in
turkey raising.
Eternal vigilance is the price of sue
cess with turkeys.
Feast one day and famine the next
is money losing policy.
Keep turkeys, ducks, geese and
hens in separate quarters.
Now is the time to buy good breed
ing stock for next spring.
Do not confine your show birds too
closely in order to train them.
When the hens take 70 the trees,
something is wrons in the house
Tic new plan is to sell eggs by
weight and is done in some parts of
the east.
A kerosene bath for roosts and
nest boxes is in order any time during
lice season.
A good. live interest in exhibition
stock is commendable in the market
poultryman.
Reserve some good, bright alfalfa
hay out of the last cutting for poultry
feed next winter.
Lots of cold storage eggs on the
market, but fresh eggs are always in
demand at better prices.
Turkeys always find ready sale and
are almost clear profit. There is al
ways a demand for them; the market
is never glutted.
Turkeys are good for the fields.
They can be driven anywhere you
wish from one field to another.
Do not feed very much corn to
your white show birds because fat
has a tendency to give the plumsge
a creamy appearance.
The farcIer who cares not for rne
egg or meat production OF his birds
and caters to the ornamental only, has
a small field of usefulness.
A good many sudden deaths among
older fowls may be laid to apoplexy
caused BY too much ever stimulating
and fattening food like corn and

Man Believed Murdered.

Trempealeau-The finding of the
body of Arthur Grover, Sc years old,
a pioneer of this place, on the Bur-
lington tracks, leads the authorities
to suspect murder, for with the ex-
ception of a broken leg there was no
other signs of being struck by a
train. firing of waiting for a night
train at East Winona, Grover started
to walk home down the railroad
track and was within six blocks of
his destination when he met his
death AS he always carried a large
sum of money on his person, it is
thought that he was murdered and
robbed and then placed on the tracks
to cover up the crime.

Floor Plan.

A concrete foundation makes the
house rat proof. The concrete is
covered about foot deep with earth
and the earth is supposed TO be
covered about foot deep at all times
with straw.
Both inside partitions are wire and
there are wire doors in these parti-
tons opening into the different apart
ments. Loose strips reach across
from one plate to another and the
space above these strips is filed with
straw to secure ventilation without
draft. This is helped by windows in
each gable covered with thin cotton
cloth. Twice during the winter sea-
son these strips are pulled down, the
straw all taken out and fresh straw

anesville-Addition mystery
surrounding the death of Matilda
Bereresterman, who was supposed to
baVe been murdered in the kitchen
of her fathers home, resulted in the
arrest of Harry Berger, II years old,
and Edwin Meyer, 10 years, in con-
nectIon with the case Fred Berest-
erman, the father, is now in jail,
charged with his daughters death.
The two young men tell a story,
IN signed statement, which coin
cldes to some extent with that told
oy Bereresterman. They say they met
Bereresterman, who was on his way
nome while in an intoxicated condi-
ton, and that they assisted him to
his house, which is on the outskirts
of the city.
Arriving there, they were met by
Miss Bereresterman, with whom they
admit having improper relations
Ihey retired to the rear part of the
house, and according to their story,
the young woman became uncon-
scious and, thinking she was dead,
they carried her into the front room
where they placed her on a couch,
after telling the father of her condi-
ton. Then they went to their homes.
When the police arrived at the
house the following morning, after
being notified of the young woman s
death by the father, her face was
battered and her body showed
numerous bruises as though she had
been kicked. A bloody hammer,
with which it is supposed she was
struck in the face, was found in the
house.
Berger and Meyer are unable to
account for the condition of the
young woman's body when found by
the police, but they say it is possible
that she was mistreated by her father
after they left the house.
