Turkey StnflVd by Machine.
In England turkeys are generally
old according to the rule of weight
per pound, price per pound. That la
to say. If a bird weighs 12 pounds, it
U sold at 2i cents per pound; If Its
weight la 14 pounds, at 23 cents per
pound, and to on.
Naturally, all breeders endeavor to
make their turkeys as plump and
heavy as possible before sending them
to market Systems of fattening are
extensively carried on among poultry
farmers, turkeys being put into pens
and fattened for a period varying from
three to ten weeks, either by hand or
with machine.
The machine mostly used for this
purpose consists of brass noxxle
which Is Inserted in the mouth of the
bird attached to a piece of India' rub
ber tubing, and connected with a cylin
der. In this cylinder Is a supply of liquid
food, made of buckwheat or some oth
er meal, milk, and a little fat, and it
is o arranged that when a pedal is
pressed by the foot a portion of the
food, varying according to the stage of
fattening for it Is Increased in quan
tity each day until the process is com
pleted Is Injected through the tube
and nozzle Into the bird's crop. Stray

Marketing Potato Crops.
In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale university in bis book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers brought
by President Tuttle of the Boston &
Maine railroad before the senate com
mittee on interstate commerce. Noth
ing coold better show how a railorad
works for the interest of the localities
which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato crop,
ggregating annually eight to ten mil
lion bushels which find a market large
ly in Boston and the adjacent thickly
settled regions of New England. The
competition of cheap water transporta
tion from Maine to all points along the
New England coast keeps railroad
feright rate on these potatoes always
at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and j
rains brought a tremendous yield of I
potatoes from the Michiagn fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary
markets and the potatoes' wonld have
rotted on the farms. To help the pota
to growers the railroads from Michigan
made nnpreccntedly low rates on pota
toes to every reachable market, even
carrying them in large quantities to a
place so remote as B ton. The Aroos
took growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose ot them unless the Boston A
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate, which it did. By means of these
low rates, making possible low prices,
the potato crops of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potaotes, and that year every
body bad all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, tbey helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston & Maine railroad suffered a de
crease in its revenue from potatoes, but
it enabled the Aroostook farmers to
market their crop and thereby to obtain
money which they spent for the varied
supplies which the railroads brought to
them. If the making of rates were
subject to governmental adjustment
ucn rauicai ana prompt action could
never have been taken, because it is
well established that if a rate be once
reduced by a railroad company it can
not be restored through the red tape of
governmental procedure. II the Mich
igan railroads and the Boston & Maine
railroad had Iteen subjected to eovern.
mental limitation they would have felt
oongea to keep up their rates as do the
railroads of France and England and
oermany unuer governmental limits-

steel tool and the blnctf lining of Hi
aroove. which must be rlnllile, burnt III
with nitrate of silver or some other
chemical. In t tits way horses which
are often over 8 or U years of sge are
