In England turkeys are generally
told according to the rule of weight
per pound, price per pound. That is
to say, if a bird weighs 12 pounds, it
is sold at 24 cents per pound; if its
weight is 14 pounds, at 28 cents per
pound, and so 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
farniers,i turkeys being put into pens
and fattened for a period varying from
three to ten weeks, either by band or
wth machine.
The machine mostly used for this
purpose consists of a brass nozzle
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 so 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

A Minister's Chart. -
The Rev. Dr. Herrick Johnson was
president of the McCormick Theologi
cal Seminary in Chicago. A chart
hung in his library, showing by pyra
mids the amount of money spenf in
various countries of the world for al
cohol. Corresponding pyramids on the
same chart showed the sums spent by
all denominations for missionary work
in the world. At the bottom of the
chart in large type were the words:
"How God Is Robbed."
One evening while Dr. Johnson was
walking in the business portion of his
city he was stopped by a man who
asked him for ten cents. Dr. John
son told the man that he would give
him the money if he would tell him
honestly what he wanted it for.
The man replied: "I want to rob
God."
He formerly had been employed
about the seminary and hau seen the
chart referred to, and of course he
knew Dr. Johnson. He got the ten
cents.

Marketing Potato Crops.
In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of 1 ale university in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers brought
by President Tattle of the Boston &
Maine railroad before the senate com
mittee on interstate commerce. Noth
ing could 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.
aggregating 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 transports
Hon from Maine to all points along the
New England coast keeps railroad
feright rates 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
rains brought a tremendous - yield of
potatoes from the Michiagn fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary
markets and the potatoes would have
rotted on the farms. To help the pota
to growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecentedly low rates on pot a
toes to every reachable market, even
carrying them in large quantities to a
place so remote as Boston. The Aroos
took growers had to reduce the price oii
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston &
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate, which it did. By means of theBe
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 had 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, they 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
eubject to governmental adjustment
such radical and 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. If the Mich
igan railroads and the Boston & Maine
railroad had been subjected to govern
mental limitation they would have felt
obliged to keep up their rates as do the
railroads of France and England and
Germany under governmental limita
tion and let the potatoes' rot. Ex

to some one In the store: "Take out
Mrs. Blank's liver. She says she can
get along without it."
