whatever turkeys the farmer may have
ready collected. Six or eight men can
drive a flock of 1000 turkeys 10 to II
miles day. AS soon as possible after
the turkeys are received at the dress
ing plant they are killed, dry-picked,
cooled and packed in barrels or boxes
for shipment.
Killing and Dressing.
In killing and dressing turkeys on
the farm they should first be deprived
of feed for "a hours, but given plenty
of fresh, clean water in order to clean
the crop and intestines of all feed.
When ready to kill, the bird should be
hung up by the feet; holding the bird
in one hand a sharp, narrow-bladed
knife is used to sever the veins in the
throat by making a small cut inside
the mouth on the right side of the
throat at the base of the skull. After
making this cut and bleeding begins,
the knife is thrust up through the
groove in the roof of the mouth and
into the brain at the back part of the
skull. On piercing the brain the bird
gives a peculiar Squawk, the, feathers
are loosened by a quivering of the
muscles, and death is instantaneous.
In dry-pfcking the feathers should be
plucked Immediately, and if the bird
has been properly stuck they come out
very easily. The tail and large wing
feathers are removed first, after which
the body feathers are pulled out. When
the turkeys are to be marketed locally
or are to be shipped but short dis
tance they are cooled to temperature
of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit by
hanging in the open air, provided the
weather is cool enough; otherwise they
are plunged into ice water and kept
there until thoroughly cooled. After
cooling they are packed undrawn in
boxes or barrels. 1t is inadvisable fol-
the producer without proper refrigerat.
ing facilities to ship dressed turkeys
as losses from improper cooling an0
from their being exposed to warn
weather during transit are liable tc
occur. Aside from this it is seldom
profitable to ship turkeys any great
distance except in carload lots; wher
this is done the turkeys are coofed tc
80 degrees Fahrenheit, packed in boxes
or barrels, and shipped in refrigerator
cars.

elements are interviewer in
this story, which has been
well described as the first
up-to- -the-minute novel OF
America in the great war
for humanity and world
freedom. 1t is a gripping
story of a man who "came

battIefieIds of France for
the honor of the army that
had discarded him. Victor

excellent stories but none

One of the most important
steps toward success in turkey
raising is the proper selection
of breeding stock. Birds for
breeding should be selected for
vigor, size, shape, strong bone,
early maturity and color of
plumage. Turkey hens will
usually lay about IS eggs in
their first litter, while those
that do not have to be set can
be broken up on becoming
broody and made to lay sec
ond and sometimes a third lit
ter. The high mortality COM
mon in young poults is usually
due to some of the following
causes: Exposure to dampness
and cold, improper feeding,
close confinement, lice, preda
tory animals, weakness in the
parent stock.

WHY THE PRESIDENT INSISTS ON SURRENDER

The attention Of the American people, and Of the peoples of the
world, has been called frequently by President Wilson to the unre-
liability Of the promise of Prussian autocracy. The president has
said that America and it's allies cannot deal with the forces that have
governed Germany in the past, unless there be certain assurances in
the form OF a guaranty that the pledges which the German high com
mand may make will be kept.
The president, be it understood is not speaking upon hearsay
evidence. lie remembers that Prussia had a treaty with Belgium,
and that, despite its pledge to observe the neutrality of its small
neghbor, the Prussian military hordes not only invaded Belgium,
but crushed it, to all ntens aa purposes, holding It's people III bond
age that amounted to slavery.
That's among the first outward evidences that came to the presi-
dents notice regarding the autocratic mind. National treaties were
treated as mere scraps of paper when, in the opinion of the central
powers their interests could be best subserved by 50 doing.
The next striking testimonial respecting the relation of autocracy
with its pledge is found in the early submarine campaign. Respond
ing tothe exchable pleadngs of the notorious admiral Of the German
navy, Pfusslan autocracy began the destruction Of sea-gong craft in
utter disregard OF the loss of life thereby entailed.
Upon the vigorous protests of the president, the Prussian auto
em&s promised ia refrain from further molestation of the passenger
ships Of neutral countries. This ruthless destruction of innocent lives
Yves suspended, but subsequently,, with but a few hours notice, it
was resumed with even greater vigor.
But these were not the only instances of an utter disregard for
of Germany. The ordinary rules Of modern warfare have been held
in contempt upon numerous occasions. A species Of brigandage has
been practced III Belgium; cities have been compelled to pay tribute
to save themselves from annihilation; men and boys have been forced
to leave their neutral homes to till German soil and operate German
factories; women and girls have been carried away. families separated
and scattered about like cattle.
The president, therefore, can but regard The pledges Of the ruling
class of Prussia as yaueless. Obviously he looks upon the German
fplea for an almistice as but a means for permitting tie foe an oppor-
tunity to strengthen lines nearer home with a view to r.nnaratin
its power Of resistance.
The president does not intend to be caught again with autoc-
racy $ promise. leis@ from Missouri when it comes to dealing with
the Prussian autocrats.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 30.-Homer
S. Cummings, acting chairman of the
democratic nationa1 committee, in a
formal statement tonight charged
that the nations selfish interests are
seeking to get control of the govern.
ment by electing a republican congress
next month, and asserted the country
will be appalled, when it learns of the
money used for the purpose.
LAS the campaign progresses, said
Cummings the purpose of the
selfish and r~eactionary interests of
Americans become more and more APP
parent, These interests distrust and
fear the president and have no sym.

which have been enacted under his
leadership. They seek to tie the hands

in America is to return d congress in
full sympathy with the presidents

Before America came into the war;
Mr.. McAdoo says, the allies had suf'
fered repeated reverses because there
was no unity of command. They were
undecided among themselves. The
first act of the president WAS to com
pei a unity Of command under Gen

products are grown under war conditions, war prices must be paid.
II large production is sought under extraordinary cost, then itis only

cit also is important to guard producers against a too rapid fall
