allowed unless they are disposed to g
harm, says a correspondent Of Farm
Progress.
To raise turkeys in the way that
auses least trouble and always in.
sures the raising Of the largest flock
is as follows:
First fence off with a small meshed
high woven wire fence-say seven or
even eight feet ~high-several acres of
land. 1t is better If some Of the land
Is covered with brush of almost any
sort and, II possible, some open land
and running water on 1t. In such in
closures, If there are good places for
them to make their roosts, the turkey
on their eggs where laid.
And when they have Matched the
hens and young ones can remain In
the Enclosure and roost there and be
fed there till the young ones are three
months old. With the same arrange
ments along these lines we formerly
raised large numbers of turkeys at q
minimum cost and sold them at a fine
profit. After they got half grown and
had become edible we trained them to
come to the %houseyard and roost in a
large tree to ave them from possible
poultry thieves.
We have always fed u very young
turkeys on crumbled hard boiled eggs
for a few days and afterward we'll
baked cor bread and a little wheat,
then cracked corn and finally whole
corn.

DAMAGE FROM THE RAINS YESTERDAY Car Tracks Inundated-Op- eratiOn of Trains Great
 ly Delayed

The excessive rains yesterday caused
 severe damages locally interrupting
 street car operations as well as caus-
 ing slow operations on all railroads
 In the city the worst conditions were lear the Boys club on Fifteenth street. The street car tracks near there were inundated for some time, destroying schedule on three car lines. The ne- gro houses in that neighborhood were water bound, it being impossible to go into the houses or leave them The ne sroes affected felt for a time consid- erable apprehension which subsided
 after the rains ceased and 1t appeared
 as if the water would flow away.
 The car tracks on Twentieth street and the railroad tracks as we'll were Inundated while the Southern freight house platforms were almost inaces- sable on account of the water climb ing up on them. Drays and automobiles were hub deep in the water which rushed over Twentieth street with ter rife force. Several small slides of earth occurred on the Southside of the city near the mountain.
 The various railroad officials were cast in deep gloom yesterday The rains caused further soaking of the track beds which have received far loo much moisture during the past few
 weeks. Exceedingly keen precautions were taken to keep operations from be- ing dangerous, which, so far as re- norts % to show, were effective. The slow order programme followed seems | to have brought all trains through without any serious damages.

HOME RULE BILL NOW ON SECOND READING Bonar Law Savagely As- sails Both Bill and the
 Government

London, April 16.-The home rule bill passed it's first reading in the house of commons tonight by vote of s6O to 26o. The announcement of the fig- ures was received with deafening min- isterial cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs
 In the debate Andrew Bonar Law. summing up for the opposition, savage ly assailed both the bill and the goy- ernment. The people of Ulster, he do- clared. were ready in what they be- l,eved to be the cause of liberty and justice to lay down their lives. In con- clusion he said:
 You will not carry this bill with out submitting it to the people If you try to do so you will succeed only in breaking the parliamentary machine. The bill has been introduced because inc government is dependent upon tho Irish votes.
 The prime minister gave a solemn pledge that he would reform the house of lords, but that debt of honor must wait until he has paid his debt of shame"
 T. P O'Connor said that in Ireland they believed the true democratic road was through liberty to loyalty God save the King" would be sung again in Ireland when 1t was not degraded into song for party faction.
 Tifnothy Healy said the bill, instead of repeating the union. as contended by the opposition, made it perpetual with the consent of the irish people.

THE CAPITOL PARK
 LIGHTS ARE ASSURED
White Way Along Twentieth Street Awaiting Action of Con-
 mission

The great white way along Twentieth street from the Louisville and Nashville railway to Capitol park, inclusive, and the lighting up of the park is an assured fact. and only needs the official sanction of the city commissioners for the actual work to commence.
 Louis Gelders. who has been advocat- ing the installation of the street illumi- nation, stated that a sufficient number of signatures had been secured from the property holders and tenants of twen- tieth street to install the lights and the city commissioners had practically de- cided to put in the standard lights in the park.
 MT. Gelders has presented his plans to the city commissioners and says that the installation of the standard lights in the park will be less costly than the present system of arc lighting. The Twentieth street white way is destined to be one of the many attractions of the city.
