CBy ANNA GALIGHER.)


Turkey raising is one Of the easiest
things ever tried, as well as the most
paying industry for a woman.
If you wish to try out the business,
never allow old turkeys to lay out,
but watch them and see that the eggs
are gathered every night.
To keep them laying in the same
place, put two or three glass nest eggs
in the nest on the sly, and never let
the turkeys see you near the nests nor
do not disturb them while on the
nest.
A hen turkey will lay from IA to 20
eggs before getting broody, and If
when she does sit upon the nest all
day, you can catch her late at night
and confine in an outbuilding for a
week or SO with plenty of good food
water and grit, she will go back to lay
ing again soon after being liberated
and lay as many more eggs.
The first eggs laid can be set under
a common mother hen. Ten eggs to a
hen. and she will do quite as well as
job herself.
By the time the turkey hen gets
broody a second time after being con
fined and fed, she will have become
quite tame, and can be set in some
safe place, where wild animals, rats
etc, can not trouble her.
Every morning when she is setting
go and feed her with corn meal wet
with hot water, and put pan of clean
water handy.
When she matches have a rain-proof
coop, somewhere near a tree or clump
of shrubbery TO provide shelter from
the hot sun. The hens which Matched
turkeys should be fed and cared for
five times daily for about three weeks.
Never feed them under the coops, but
spread the food on clean board near
enough to the coop, so that the mother
can reach through and eat with her
little ones.
The first meal should be given after
"a hours, and should consist of corn

IMPORTANT I'M RATE
HEARING BEGINS
Eastern Lines Fighting to Raise
Freight Tariffs.

Washington. Nov. 2o.-Railroads OF
the country have felt the burden Of
the increased cost of living, like all
ether enterprises or individuals, but
unlike all others have not been per-
mitted so far to raise their prices or
adjust their charges in recognition
of that burden" Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, said in arguing before the
interstate commerce commission for
authority to increase freight rates
approximately 5 per cent in the ter
ritory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
In presenting the facts upon which
the railroads rely to prove the neces-
sity for an increase in rates, Mr.. Will
lard asserted that during the last
three years the railroads in the ter
ritory affected had spent in proper
ty investments $600,O00,0 900, or at the
rate Of $2O0,O0O,000 per year. Never
theless, he added, because of the
fact that operating expenses had in
creased faster than operating reve-
nues these railroads earned in the
year ending June 80, 1913, less by
$16,311,321 than for the year ending
June 80, 1910.
