Nv 1. M. BENNINGTON,

Many 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 IS 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 win 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 rayaging
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
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.

er was so great that if he command
ed the sea to retire it would obey.
This appears to have been too much
even for a Danish king of the tenth
century to believe; and when he put
it to the proof, and the sea continued
to come on, we are to suppose that
those courtiers experienced a bad
time. 1t is a story which has been
seized upon with enthusiasm alike by
moralists and humorists; and 1t
would be difficult to say which have
had the best turn out of SO promising

We may readily trace the western
defences of the town, made trebly
strong after the French and other al
lied fleets had suddenly descended up
on it, midway in the fourteenth CEN
fury, burning and Staying until half
Southampton lay in ruins. The curious
deep-arcaded walls are relics of that
time, in the determination Of the
townsfolk to build SO strongly that
no sudden foray should find them un-
prepared.
Here, also, is a very curious and
archaeologically valuable old build
ing: a roofiess ruin, it is true, but
with its external architectural fea-
lures well preserved. This is the So
called King Johns Palace a Late
Norman house. Modern times have,
from the picturesque point of view,
distressfully qualified the ancient pic
turesqueness of this western shore.
In the days when Henry the Fifth's
army Of pikemen and bowmen EN-
barked for France, for that campaign
which gave the English the glorious
victory Of st. Crispin's Day. they went
aboard directly out from under the
arch of West Gate. That same veri-
table archway remains, but roadway
now runs along outside the walls
those walls whose feet once went
sheer into the sea, and were washed
by every tide.
This landmark brings Us into the
middle Of the town, where the church
Of Holy Rood stands, with It's lofty
spire zone of the two old churches Of
Southampton. The other, st. Minh-
ael. is on the right, in St. MichasIis
Square, and is remarkable for It's

seven black marble Belgian fonts to

from its having been used To house
the prisoners Of war in the eighteenth
century.

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 it's 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 a 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 win 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 difncult 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 win
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 ham

easily driven from one place TO an
other, and when storms come on they

HISTORIC OLD TOWN
Port Of Southampton Has Pic
tureSque Attractions.
NO Place on South Coast Of England
Situated 50 Beautifully as This
Ancient clty--Wool House on
Quay One Of the Sights.

London. The fifty-third annual
church congress, which opened on
September 80, had for its place Of
meeting the historic town and port Of
Southampton; still, in spite of the
vast developments of docks and ship
ping which render it rival even Of
Liverpool a town of much pictures
que attraction. There is no place on
the south coast Of England situated SO
beautifully as this ancient port; and
the voyage from 1t down Southampton
water, displaying scenes Of quiet
woodlands, pastures and sunlit fair
way, adds another pang Of regret to
the Englishman's departure from
home, just as the passage past the
Needles and Calshot Castle, between
the Wight and the mainland, and up
to Southampton heatens the wander
er's return from overseas.
This way came the Romans voyeg-
ing to and from their port Of Clausen-
tum, identified now with Bitterne,
some two miles higher up the estuary
of the Itchen, spot where the coins
Of the Caesars and the potsherds Of
dead and gone civilization are yet
plentifully found. The saxons, follow
ing their usual custom, established
themselves on a new site when they
came here, and left the ruined and
deserted Clausentum to the spirits Of
the dead and the evil things which
they ardently believed inhabited the
deserted homes of men. Thus South
ampton arose where we now find It.
We do not nowadays trace any Saxon
remains here, although in those days
this was a place Of Importance, and
the building called Kings Ganute's
Palace" is later than his time. It was
here as that monkish chronicler,
Henry of Huntingdon, would have us
believe--that Canute, the immediate
successor of the Saxon monarchs, put
the gross tlattery of his courtiers to
the test They had told him his pow

to the Mexican wild turkey, which
was domesticated in Mexico at the
time, Of the conquest, the virginian
advocates the crossing OF the native
turkey with the wild Mexican bird.
Finding a couple Of wild turkey
eggs last summer and upon exam
nation finding they would soon hatch
out, he placed them in a basket over
an electric globe which hung in his
room, the globe being Of ordinary
16-candlepower. The bottom Of the
basket was protected by a piece Of
cardboard; over this was placed a

countries turkeys are driven to mar
ket In flocks, and we once saw a flock
Of nearly 300 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 bestknown 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 iourished
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,
through the crossing of an American
wild bird upon the black turkey,
The North American wild turkey
was at one time very beautifully 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 great inn
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 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
win bring q price enough HIGHER 10

Hon. Harry Bailey Shot To Death o.
Streets OF Cynthiana By J. Newt Ar
mold. Dead Man Prominent Lawyer
And Mason And Well Known
Here

Hon. Harry Bailey was shot Monday
on one of the main thorouhfares of
Cynthiana by j. Newton Arnold of
Bourbon county and died almost in
stantlv of the wound. The killing was
the result of note held by Bailey for
collection against Arnold, and about
which he accosted him, when Arnold
struck him in the face, Baily retaliat-
ed by knocking Arnold down, and when
he arose inquired if ''he had enough,
Arnold with an oath replied that he
had not, and drew a revolver from his
pocket; Bailey grappled with him but
Arnold being much the stronger man,
wrenched loose and shot him. Excite
ment ran so high in Cynthiana over the
killing that sheriff fearing trouble,
smuggled his prisoner to Lexington
where he was placed in Jail.
Harry Bailey was popular all over
Kentucky, and was man of consider
able prominence. At the recent No
vember election he was defeated for
Congress by Hon. W. j. Fields, Demo
crat by only a small majority. He
was one of the most prominent men,
bers of the Masonic fraternity in the
state, being Past Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of Kentucky and Grand
High Priest of the "Grand Lodge Roy
al Arch Mason of Kentucky. Mr.. Bal
ley has visited Lancaster upon several
occasions in his Masonic official capa-
city, to inspect the local Chapter of

warm friends here who were deeply
grieved at his untimely end. Mr.. Bal
ley was unmarried, and is survived by
his mother and three brothers, all of
whom reside in Harrison county.
