but that indirectly low wages and pow

The state accident board has ruled

The state railroad commission has
issued an order requiring railroads
operating in Michigan to file tariffs
setting forth the rate charged for
chair car privileges in addition to the
regular fare. The Pere Marquette
some time ago increased its chair car
rate from 25 to so cents on the De-
troit-Grand Rapids division, and Il is
thought this is the first move OF the
commission to compel the road to re-
duce the rate.

BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Many a city family man, when he
comes to pay from five to seven dol
lars for his Thanksgiving turkey this
fall, will be quite ready to affirm that
personally he has no objection to the
passing of the turkey, even as a holi-
day piece de resistance.
Prices Of turkeys this year are high
err than ever before. Last year in
the largest cities, first-class birds
brought from 35 to so cents per pound
and a five-dollar bill was hardly ade-
quate to secure a bird that would suf-
ficiently serve an ordinary-sized fam
lily.
This year prices will be higher still,
in spite of the fact that dealers have
been securing the country for
months, making contracts in advance,
and putting into cold storage every
bird that could be secured, long be-
fore the holiday season opened.
The fact is that fewer turkeys are
being raised every year, the decline
In the industry having started six or
seven years ago, when the terrible
disease of blackhead began to destroy
the flocks in the New England states.
The ravages of this disease have be-
come so great that in Rhode Island,
which was once the great turkey state,
none are now being raised. The dis
ease has spread to other states
throughout the east, and its ravaging
effects have been so disastrous that
thousands of farmers in New York,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and New
Hampshire all formerly good turkey
states, have practically given up the
business.
This disease has invaded the west
to some extent, but its ravages have
been checked because the means OF
preventing It are now much better un-
derstood than ever before, owing to

Alimony Puzzles Tax Experts.

Washington-How to tax allmony is
the most puzzling question to be
dealt with under the new income tax
law. Authorities cannot decide wheth-

The first question seems to be, should
alimony be considered a legitimate
part of mans expense or just lux.

as yet. 1t was suggested that such

IS THE DELECTABLE TURKEY
DOOMED TO PASS FOREVER

Blackhead is a disease Of the liver
and intestines which produces form
Of dystentry and is caused by minute
parasites, and called blackhetd, be-
cause the heads of the affected birds
turn black at certain stage of the
disease.
In many cases birds die from COM
plications induced by the presence Of
the disease rather than from its i'm
mediate effects.
Blackhead destroys about four
fifths of the young turkeys before
they are six weeks old, and Of the re-
naming one-fifth, one tenth to one
fifth die at later period.
The advice given by experts in the
disease is to quit breeding turkeys
wherever 1t appears, and this Is re-
sponsible in a very large degree for
the rapid curtailment of the industry
in the eastern states.
The hope OF the turkey-raising in
dustry appears at present to lie in the
west, and those portions OF the south
which have so far escaped this dread
ed disease. Breeders have now
learned how to prevent the disease,
and in the west where 1t has not pre-
vailed to any considerable extent,
farmers have taken up turkey-breed-
ing, encouraged by the tremendously
high prices that have prevailed dur
ing the past few years and by the
hope that they will be able to escape
the losses suffered by the eastern
breeders who did not know how to
cope with the disease.
Turkeys are great rangers, but as
they quickly become attached to their
attendant, Il Is not difficult to control
them They should be fed and cared
for by the same person from the time
they are Matched until they are ready
for the market. In this way they will
learn to come at the call Of the at
tendant, and follow him for long dis
\ tances, from the fields to the coops.

The globe gave out a heat of from
9S to 102 degrees, and soon the two
eggs developed two fine, healthy
chicks. These we're taken out to the
farm and both Of them were thriving
until one of them tried to swallow a
small lizard, which choked 1t to death.
These turkeys are now raised with
white Holland hens, and when young
birds are three-fourths grown they
are put under wire enclosures, raising
them under as natural conditions as
possible.

can be quickly housed In foreign
countries turkeys are driven to mar
ket in focks, and we once saw a flock
of nearly 800 birds being driven along
the highway to the railroad station
three miles from the farm, where they
were to be cooped and shipped TO the
city market.
The best-known varieties in Ameri'
ca are the Bronze, Naragansett, Buff
and Black. The Boubon Red is a fine
bird, coming originally from the noun
tains Of Kentucky, where 1t fourished
in wild state for many years. The
black turkey Of America came from
England, where 1t is known as the
Norfolk
The bronze turkey, which Is proba-
bly, the most popular turkey in this
country, was originated in England.

wild bird upon the black turkey.
The North American wild turkey
was at one time very plentifully dis
tributed over the entire country from
the Carolinas to Canada. and most
plentiful to the sections sub-divided.
as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky.
They were migratory, following the
food supply, often wandering distances
of from 200 to 300 miles in search OF
their favorite food, following the crops
| into the localities where the season
afforded the greatest production.
These early wild turkeys visited the
| barnyards of the early settlers OF the
country where tame turkeys, brought
over from the old countries, were
kept, and the result was a great I'M
provement in all qualities Of this bird.
Breeders were quick to observe this
improvement, and sought wild COB
blers to cross upon their domestic
birds. 1t is from this cross that our
highest standard turkeys have been
bred. They have been so carefully
selected, mated and cared for, by the
fanciers, that there has been produced
perhaps the most beautifully plumaged
and noblest table bird in the world.
Unfortunately, like the wild pigeon,
the wild turkey has almost disap-
peared from this country. A turkey
does not mature until IL is about three
years old, and to obtain strong and
vigorous offspring, hens from two to
three years old should be mated to
strong, active males of the same age,
or older. The males and females
should never be taken from the same
family, and no breeder should go into
the business unless he is willing to
start with the standard bred stock.
The critical time in the lives OF
turkeys is in the first six weeks. They
are tender little things, and must be
kept dry and warm until the red be-
gins to show on their heads. They
should never be turned out when the
dew is on the grass, but may be con
, fined in large yard, where they can
have plenty OF exercise. When they
are old enough to run out on the
range with the mother hen, they must
be brought in before every storm, and
always at night.
Buyers In all parts of the country

take the live birds on foot at the

all trouble of shipping and marketing

Be sure the eggs for Matching are

Keep the house free Of draughts and
keep a good clean litter to scratch in.
There is no need of male bird If
you are keeping hens for eggs alone.
Take good care of the stock you
have and you can develop 1t into good

1t is a good plan to occasionally
scald the dropping boards and roosts
with boiling water.
Give the hens a chopped onion oc-
casionally in the mash, 1t is excellent
as disease preventative.
If the rooster is old do not aave too
many hens in the breeding pen If
you expect the eggs to hatch.
Study your birds closely and learn
their habits. The better you know
them the better success you will have.
Soft-shelled eggs are often caused
by fowls being confined, becoming

Dust the hen with insect powder
