NEW SYSTEM OF
RAISING TURKEYS
Again Progress Jlas Proved
r- Thll Nothing Is Constant,
i . But Change
?:*?
With the- loose nins? of the shackles
of custom and- the girdling on of new
and simple revolutionary methods, tur
key raising has been given an added
Impetus, too frequently When old
recommendations have been followed'
to the letter, turkey raising was not
successful. A high mortality was
thought to be inevitable and it was
enlist? tolerated. "Olve the young
turkeys free range and feed scantily"
. were. the suggestions of tljoje In au
thority, and the high death rpnttaued.
Nearly everybody expected it. as a
matter of course and the "law" of
turkey raising was put down as un
changeable as the laws of the-M5des
and Persians.
But America is ever on the alert
watching fornew ideas in every phase
of hum'an activity, and even . in the'
art of turkey raising, there are peo
ple WWt> are making a success of this
work by doing ft. tn the unusual way,
and progress has proved that nothing
is constant in Chls world but chai)ge.
"Keep turkey* within enclosures and
give them all of the right kind of feed
that they wUl eat." is the new law of
turkey raising. This is directly oppo-,
site to the old system, and so are the
results obtained. The old way brought
a high death rate, the new law has
brought a low death rate and' a suc
cess rather than a dismal failure.
Turkeys really ? like to stay at home
when there Is Something there to eat.
The old system does not tolerate the
feeding of tUrkys. It is a root hog or
die proposition with the turkeys and
they leave only when forced to by the
excruciating pangs of hunger They
leave the haunt* of their master's
yard and roam over the farms of the
neighbors because more food Is to be
found there than at home. Well fed
turkeys never stay far away from- a
well filled feeding trough, and they
will return you four to five dollars
profit for 'every dollar spent on their
feed. . . -
Under the old system it is thought
that if turkeys were kept in enclos
ures Immediate death would follow as
certain as the long shadows that
, trail afjer you when the evening sun
Is low. Now It has been found that It
Is certain death to a majority of the
turkeys to let them roam at large
especially where chickens roam. The
blackhead disease of turkeys Is caused
1 b'y a germ carried by chickens, hnd
I chickens and tufkeys cannot be pro
duced on th? same ground. Turkeys
In enclosures are freer from disease
than those that roup, at large, and
they grow and fatten better.

-hSIs^MENT IN ALABAMA
?Washington. Jan. 25. ? Oscftr W.
Underwood, ot Alabama, one of the
notable political leaders of his time,
died today at Woodlawn, his country
home In nearby yjr^lnla where* he
.had retired at the end of publlo ca
reer which had seen his name repeat
edly brought forward for the presl
party.
Death came at 11: IS o'clook this
morning In the masslve hrtck struc
ture overlooking the Potomac hrtver
and the George Washington- Shrine
at Moupt Ve'rnon. The former sena
tor had been unconscious for two
days andjhls death bad been expected
since yesterday. His family, however,
withheld, notice of hie condition until
the"-hLst, hopeful that lie. would rally.
Mr. Onderwood died as a result of
a cerebral hemorrhage suffered early
: In December. Two weeks later he
had a stroke of paralysis from which
he rallied for a time, giving rise to ft
Belief that he nllght recover. Several
days ago, however, his condition be
came worse and he lapsed Into a state
of unconsciousness from which he
;. was unable to rouse himself. . ? j
The death of the Alabama states
man removed a man who left an In- !
dellble Impression of an individual
with unusual qualities 6f statesman
ship, and marked capacity as a leader.
Likewise he was a fighter, though not
a sensational one. His passim? re
called to political veteraiys that he was
the first 'of "thr young Democrats to -
challenge the leadership of William
J. Bryan when the commoner was all- !
powerful within the party ranks. He I
differed with Bryan over the Under
