Meun. Editors: The people
of our country ere notably a'
turkey-eating and turkey-loving
people yet comparatively few
of our Southern farmer* raise
turkeys in sufficient numbers to
supply their own tables.
The chief reason given for the
neglect of this most profitable
branch of the poultry industry is
that the death rate among the
young poults is generally so
great.
WHY YOUNO TCaKEVS DIE.
The fact that one hundred
years ago tnrkeys roamed iu
endless numbers "far from the
hannts of man," throughout the
forests of the whole Southland,
together with our own experi
ence in raising them, has con
vinced us that the mortality
among the young poults is due
largely to over-feeding, un
natural foods and useless at
tentions.
With intelligent handling and
plenty of range, turkeya thrive
with comparatively little care,
finding the greater portion of
their own food and keeping
strong and healthy. No other
species of live stock will gather
up so much oi the wastage of
farm and convert it into gold.
As foragers, they have no equal
in the poultry world—grasses
aud clovers of every description,
insects, bugs, worms, the seeds
of every plant, refose vegeta
bles, scorns, nnts, henries,
fruits, melos, succulent roots
and waste grain, are all greedily
devoured aud converted into
the most palatable flesh.
HATCHING THE BIRDS.
When it is desirable to raise a
large flock it is advisable to use
sn incubator and at the same
time to set a gentle turkey or
chicken hen, and at hatching
time confine her in tbe brooder
with tbe whole hatch.
The mother and her brood
should all be carefully duated
with insect powder to destroy
parasites which are always fatal
to tbe young poults.
Tbe brooder should be placed
where the poults will have ac
cess to an abundance of grasses
and insects and small doors
shonld’^be arranged to allow
them to go in and out at will.
HOW TO FRED TH* YODNO ONES.
Tbe mother should be con
fined for three weeks, and dur
ing this time the poults should
be fed regularly three times per
day on scraps from tbe table and
given all the buttermilk they
will drink. After three weeks
tbe mother can be given her lib
erty and full control of herbrood.
If allowed free range on the
farm, but little further attention
will be necessary.
CAES IN SUMMKE AND FALL.
From the spring and snmuier
pastures of clovers and bermudas
we turn onr turkeys upon tbe
pea field* sod from tha pea
fields they go to the cotton fields
> which have been sown In rye
and oats, and these, with tbe
rutabaga turnips, furnish nil the
food they require until tbe com
ing of tbe next spring's vegeta
tion, By clipping the flight
feathers they can bn confined
anywhere . desired, bat they
thrive best is perfect freedom.

_JS* consider the pare-bred
Whits Holland the ideal turkey
for the fanner. They are beau
tifai, extremely hardy, prolific
layers cod of a **«tfc di.po.i
lion. They are of medium site
sad mature no rapidly that tbe
poults batched is July and
August will make excellent
breeder* for the next season. If
not allowed to hatch the bens
will lay almost continuously
from March to October.
From the sale of eggs for
batching in the spring and snr*
pins stock in the fall each White
tnrkcy hen can be made to pay
a net profit of from $20 to $25
per annntn. The income from
a flock of twenty bens would be
no insiguificaut sum to the aver
age farmer, and yet it involves
no annnal outlay of capital and
no worry with unreliable laborers.

Government maps of the
southern portion of Mecklcnborg
county have been sent to Poet
waster Smith. Tbe survey for
these maps was made last sum
meI a number of experts,
and work on them has been in
progress since that time. Mr.
Smith sa expecting tbe north
ern sections in a few days when
ha will have an accurate geolog
ical survey of tbe county.
The maps will be of great as
sistance to tbe rural routs in
spectors in making their sol
vers of the various deliveries
throughout the county. Mr. D.
M. Hershberger, who has been
in the eounty for several weeks
on a tour of inspection with a
view of getting every route in
proper shape and making rec
otneudalious for changes, if
necessary, will be enabled to do
this work much more rapidly
with the aid of these maps. Of
the 30 routes in the county, he
has thus far inspected six. He
will very likely be engaged in
the work nntil fall.
Up to this time, Mr. Harsh
berger baa not recommended
that any of the routes be dis
continued and states that he la

There was quite a large con

morning to hear the annual ser

was a full turnout of the Jasper
Light Infantry under command
of Capt. John R. Hart.
Captain James B. Allison, of
the Seventh Infsotry, United
States army, is in Yorkville, on
s visit to the family of hia father,
Dr. James B. Allison. He ar
rived last Snnday from Fort Mis
soula. Montana, and will proba
bly remain here daring several
weeks. Capt. Allison's last visit
to Yorkville was in the fall of
1902. He was then a second
lieutenant, and bad been sta
tioned for quite a long while in
Alaska, helping to keep order
among the gold miners up that
way. Since then be has teen
service in the Philippines and
baa spent two months traveling
in China and JaDan. He was at
Manilla when the two Russian
warships took refuge there just
after the battle of the Sea of
Japan and witnessed the eager
ness of the Japs to get the Rus
sians ont sad the anxiety of the
Russians to remain where they
were.

from people at a distance. Tbe
available supply la now reduced
to only a few hundred copies,
wid if, when tbe present edition
is exhausted, tbe ladies do not

there are lota of people who will

That is an interesting propo
sition that Mi. Babington, of
the Piedmont Telephone com
pany ia making to tbe fanners of
York and Cherokee counties,
and it seems worth an immedi
ate investigation. Mr. Babtng
ton made ancb an offer to the
farmers of Gaston county not
long since, and within a very
short time scores and scores of
phones were added. As we un
derstand the offer, where neigh
bora work together and bring a
line to tbe corporate limits of
Yorkville or Blacksburg the
Piedmont company will sell
them phones and give them
service at 50 cents a month,
against the present rate of two
dollars a month, and where the
metalle connection is desired it
may be included for $1 a month.
Mr. Babington says that he
desires to cover both these
counties with a network ol
wires, and the rates be Is offer
ing sec in very well calculated U
accomplish that end. Mr. N,
Crate McCorkle, of Yorkville,
or Mr. A. M. Bridges, of Blacks

proposition.

A reporter sauntered iutu Mr.
J. D. McCall’s office this morn
ing, and put a question to him
that is very much in tbe minds
of Mecklenburg people just at
the present.
"Will you run for Congress,
Mr. McCall?” tbe reporter be
gan.
Mr. McCall looked op quickly,
out of tbe corner of bis eye,
shifted himself in his ehtir, and
answered quite indefinitely:
"Nothing to say.*
"Bat Mi. McCall, couldn’t you
tell us a little something about
it? You know the public is
interested."
Mr. McCall looked up again,
thongbt a second and answered
again:
"Nothing to aay—not a word."
"You have beard that your
name was mentioned in con
nection wkb the nomination."
"Nothing to sey," be again
answered.
"Well, will you deny it?”
"Nothing to aay!”
Who do you think will get the
nomination?"
MkT.iLl__ a. __m
"Do yon think Mr. Webb will
get it?"
"Do not know—nothing to
aay."
" Heard of anybody else who
will run?"
"Nothing to say.”
"Couldn't you give ui a little
something to print?"
"Don’t know a thing to tell
you."
" Vou will at least tell ns when
you do make np your mind,
won’t you Mr. McCall?”
"Sure."
The reporter took hope and
fresh breath. Mr. McCall set
tled farther back in his chair,
and forced his face to become
expressionless.
"Well. Mr. McCall,”—the re
porter started at it again—"do
yon think a Mecklenburg man
will get the nomination?'*
"Not a word to say."
"Do you think that any of
them will get in the race?”
"Nothing to My.”
"It would be a good thing
for Charlotte to have a man in
Congress, wouldn’t it? ’
"Maybe; nothing to say,
though.”
Mr. McCall was enjoying the
interview more than the reporter.
"Have any of your friends
spoken to you abont the nom
ination?”
"Nothing to say.”
"Won’t jron say y*s or no.”
"Nothing to say.”
"It’s a pretty day,Mr. McCall?"

Editor Beasley, of the Monroe
Journal, has never pulled the
bell cord over e urale, but be has
formeJ opinions about farm life.
Among other things ha baa dis
covered that the contented fann
ers' wives of this country ere in
a mighty bad state of slavery,
and with sympathetic tears run
ning down bis cheeks as big as
bulled walnuts he makes the
following suggestion which he
considers n knockout Mow to
Our Home. "The ladies of the
Sunshine Society ought to ask
Editor Green now be explains
the large proportion of the in
mates of the insane asylums that
come from (be ranks of tanners’
wives.” Just for the in formation
of Editor Beasley we will say
that the explanation is dead
easy, it's because there ate
mors farmers’ wives than any
other kind of wives. That's
mighty simple. Ask ns some
thing: hard.
The Journal mas accuses us
of befog opposed to diversion
and recreation for women—a po
_*-« - _ _ a . _ a .
■ *uvu wg UBTT WTO MKU. Ah
if a straw ou the Journal baa
built and then knocked down
lor bit own amusement. The
position we have taken in that it
is not uccessuy for women to
belong to dnbs sod societies in
order to get* diversion and recre
ation—that societies do not make
them any better or brighter folks
than those who get "diversion
and recreation" independent of
sodetics. We have also said
that a greater store of intellect
ual information can be obtained
by good reading ia the borne
than through societies and cluba.
Getting down more to facta.
Our Home makes the statement
that socially speaking, there ia
no more genuine hospitality,
free from pretention and decep
tion, than is found among farm
ers’ wives of this country. And
in justice to farmers themselves
Onr Home will say further that
they do not tnake slaves of their
wives and they generally allow
them as much "diversion and
recreation” as the wives them
selves arc willing to take. Be
cause they do not hitch up to a
rubber-tire baggy and sail out
every afternoon is no sign that
these farmers’ wives are not con
tented or that they are slaves to
bouse drudgery sod to a "home
treadmill.” They get out in the
open air in the garden and track
patches and in the poultry yard
sad it makes them fed better
and healthier—sod it's shout as
elevating and inspiring ns h
would be to sit down in a crowd
and listen to the idle talk. And
by this little outdoor exercise
they get the benefit of nature's
remedy for weak folks and be
come strong enough to get along
without cooks ana servants.
And now we will say farther
that a woman who has sach n
restless disposition that aba can
not find n way to get "diversion
and recreation" outside of a dub
or society will not be happy af
ter the joins one, and joining a
club or society will not keep Her
out of the asylum if abe's beaded
that way. Bat wby go farther
with thia diacuasion? Let the
Journal man dry op hia tean
