WHEN ADAMS FIRST MOVED
Started the Custom Which Mankind
viii Probably Never Be
Able to Drop.

A good many sympathetic PERSONS
have felt sorry for our first PARENTS
because they had to leave the beauti-
ful garden they called home, and at
the same time they have been inclined
to regard them with considerable
harshness because among other evils
they introduced moving into a happy
world.
The spectacle of poor, old Adam
with the original stovepipe under one
arm, the sun-dried bricks of the family
hearthstone under the other, and the
family wardrobe rustling in an osier
basket on his back, may be calculated
to excite pity, but that doesn't exon
crate him from the enormity of his
offense.
Even the sight of Eve, barefootedi
and otherwise unfortified against fall
of temperature, to say nothing of the
familiarities of the unfriendly cactus
and the stinging nettle, cannot atone.
Their day of folly was followed by
moving day. and ever since they per-
spired their way through the Edenic
gates, mankind has been moving, here
and there and everywhere-and some
times back again toting his household
goods on his straining back, and VOW
ing that nothing short of combina-
tion of earthquake and tidal wave and
typhoon could ever force him to move
again.
But he goes on moving just the
same-and no doubt will keep on mov-
ing very much as if this game which
we call life were simply an exaggerat-
ed form of chess, wherein the player
moves and moves until the grim ref
cree calls "Mate."-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE SENDS
THOUSANDS OF LETTERS TO
BADGER CITIZENS.
FACTS A D OPINIONS SOUGHT
Information Desired as to Number snd
Location of Resorts, Names, Rec
ords and General Conditions
Throughout Wisconsin.

Madison.-What do you know about
the white slave traffic? Also, what
can you tell about vice in general, its
incentives and results and why it is
permitted to exist? What are the
moral conditions in your city or com
munity? These, in substance, are the
questions that the state of Wisconsin,
by its legislative committee on the
white slave traffic and kindred SUBJ
Jects, expects its citizens to answer,
for use in a campaign to eliminate
vice.
Thousands of letters are being sent
out by the committee to residents of
the state The letters are in the
form of appeals to aid in a legislative
fight to conquer to monster evil. Ac-
companying each letter are lists OF
questions that the committee would
like to have answered and by which
they expect to compile statistics for
their report at the next session Of the
legislature. These letters and ques-
ton lists will be sent Unfortunately
10 thousands of citizens in Milwaukee
and hundreds to every other city
throughout Wisconsin.
An especial request is made that
names of resort keepers, panderers or
immoral women be given the commit
tee, the letter assuring by pledge that
all information thus impaired wills be
strictly confidential.
In this way the committee expects
to compile statistics on vice, its in.
crease or decrease, the percentage of
nadonalities connected, the reasons
why women go wrong, and what per-
centage of immoral women come from
different occupations. The letter is
signed by Senator Howard TeasdaIe
Of Sporta, chairman of the committee.

CAUSE OF BLAST UNKNOWN
coroner's Jury Ends Inquiry into
Goodyear Fire at Milwaukee,
Which Killed Nine.

MiIWaukee.-The investigation into
the causes Of the explosion in the
Goodyear Rubber company's building
on Oct. 26, which killed nine firemen,
came to an end when the coroner
jury returned a verdict that the cause
Of the blast is unknown. No testi-
mony had been given to show why the
explosion occurred, what exploded or
that any one in particular had any
thing to do with the disastrous blast
While the examining officials were
practically certain that dynamite blew
up the Krocker and Goodyear build
ings, this was adduced merely through
theory. The Krocker building had
once contained dynamite owned by
the Du Pont powder company, but as,
this explosive had been removed every
night of the powder company's oc-
cupancy and the terrific blast could
only have been caused by from four to.
eight sticks, the dynamite Theory was
practically shattered

Held at La Crosse.

La Crosse-A federal law of the
stripe of the Mann white slave law,
passed for the purpose Of reaching the
runaway husband, was urged as a
necessary reform at the opening meet
ing of the state conference on chart
ties and corrections by Katherine l..
Van Wyck of Milwaukee, president of
the association.
I'VE can not recognize too soon,"
said Miss Van Wyck, that the fault
is not all on the mans side and to be-
gin IN our schools to lay the foundation
for home-making. A great part of the
illness, infant mortality and poverty
is due to lack of this fundamental in
struction
For the prevention of poverty,
crime and vice and disease we must
all work together, the state depart
ments, social workers, clergy, church
es, business men, women, physicians,
judges and teachers. The state de-
partments, Overpressed already, need
the services and the loyalty of the citi-
zenS. Think of the wonderful power
that would result if all these would
give thought to understand, time to
know and work together throughout
the state for the cooperation for the
good we all desire"
Besides delegates from fifty Wiscon-
sin cities, representative reform
workers from Minnesota, Illinois and
Michigan, attended the session.

IS THE DELECTABLE TURKEY
DOOMED TO PASS FOREVER

Blackhead is a disease of the liver
and intestines which produces a 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
ffths Of the young turkeys before
they are six weeks old, and of the re-
naming one-ffth, one tenth to one
fifth die at a later period.
The advice given by experts in the
disease is to quit breeding turkeys
wherever it appears, and this is re-
sponsibIe in a very large degree for
the rapid curtailment Of the industry
in the eastern states.
The hope of the turIey-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 it 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, it 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.
If young turkeys are carefully han
died by the same person they can be
easily driven from one place to an
other, and when storms come on they

can be quickly housed. In foreign
countries turkeys are driven to mar
ket in fiocks. and we once saw 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 it flourished
in a wild state for many years. The
black turkey of America came from
England, where it Is known as the
Norfolk
The bronze turkey, which is proba.
bly, the most popular turkey in this
country, was originated in England,
through the crossing of an American
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 800 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 it 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 a 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
are numerous, and are quite ready to
take the live birds on foot at the
farm, and thereby saving the owner
all trouble of shipping and marketing.
OF course, if the birds are slaughtered
on the farm and properly packed in
clean white paper and new boxes, they
will bring a price enough higher to
pay for the labor involved.

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 holt
day piece de resistance.
Prices of turkeys this year are high
er than ever before. Last year in
the largest cities, first-class birds
brought from 50 to so cents per pound
and a five-dolIar bill was hardly ade
quate to secure a bird that would suf-
ficiently serve an ordirarT-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
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 I'M
derstood than ever before, owing to
the Industrious and intelligent inves-
LEGATIONS started several years ago by
the Rhode Island Experiment station,
and supplemented by the work Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.
