Fish Pool and Park Near Heath Springs Work 1m progressing on I he fish pool and park nour Mouth Springs and when completed this place will ho very attractive uh there will pot only be a number pf small pool* in which IImIi will be reared but one large pool which will make u good sized lake. Two or more dams will he built to back up the waters of Hanging Rock (.'reek which flown through the premises. Above the flrst dain will be the tlsh rearing pools and beneath this dam will be a lake ' The pools are being built about three (juurterp of a inile south ol Heath Springs. A large* basin at this place makes |t g natural bowl so tlxai the matter of darning up the waters will not be difficult. While there Is a largo amount of work to he done the project calls for little material and most of the cost of the project will go for labor. It is doubtful if the project will be completed until the latter part of the summer of next year. A deep trench has been dug to date in the place where the first dam will he built. This trench which is about ten. feet deep urnl 1.00 feet wide will he filled with hard clay to inako a dam to back up the waters. While the project calls for an outlay of less than $20,000 and Is under the Wl'A It is probable that more funds can be supplemented by the state game and llsh department to beautify this place. At present the working force Is cutting down all the weeds and grass on the promises so that the pools will be clear when the dams are built and the water backed up. This place Is situated just off the road that leads south from Heath Springs going to Hanging Rock battle ground. On the fur side are a number of trees. About two miles below the placo where the pools are boing built is the site of the Battle of Hanging Rock. At this point a sharp fight between the British and Americans occurred during the Revolutionary war. It was here that Andrew Jackson at the age of 13 engaged In his flrst battle and he received a wound during the fighting that caused a scar which he carried through- life. Hanging Rock itself is about a city block from the place where the road crosses tho creek. It is a huge rock on the hillside and appears to he top heavy. . At present this place is well covered with trees and shrubbery. It. is said that the site of tile battle of Hanging Rock has not changed much since the battle. The site of this battle was such that little open fight ing was necessary as rock and trees cover the premises.?Lancaster News. It Is announced that President Roosevelt will attend the opening of the Texas centennial celebration next June at Dallas. * -rm-? ,c i.. i. y.+. ^rra.,1,1,. . I Fatten Turkeys For Thanksgiving Ch-timon, Nov it.?Furtners with turkeys for salt* should lose no time In getting the birds finished for the Thanksgiving market, for it is important that the turkeys be well finished before they are marketed, says l*. H, Gooding, extension poultrytnun. If they were hatched early enoUKh und have been kept growing well all summer. they will be 1:j good flesh and finish when the marketing season arrives. Mr, fiooding suggests that a well balanced mash bo kept before the turkeys to get the maximum growth of body and feuihers. Feathers uro largely protein and turkeys are not finished tor the market until feather growth is completed, "From now until the turkeys are I disposed of It will be wise," the spec, iallst advises, "to keep the birds to be sold in an enclosure and to feed ihem liberally on mash and grain. The grain may consist of yellow corn only and for the last week or ten days hefore marketing, corn alone should be fed. "If it is convenient to pen the birds they may be fed a wet maslf for five or six days before marketing, which will add several pounds of weight. This mash may he made by using 60 pounds of corn meal and 40 pounds of wheat shorts or whole ground wheat. It should bo fed us a slop and moistened, preferably with milk, but water may be used. The mash should be fed five times daily and as much given as the birds will clean up in 20 minutes." Happenings At Antioch School Monday, November 4 was the birthday of E. M.

What He Wants To See Wanted?before we die?to see one Marion county farm, in the dead of winter, completely covered with green and growing cover crops. Until that time comes wo will pay profit-robbing commercial fertilizer bills. When that time comes there will be a profit in farming, almost regardless of the price of farm products. Look at Texas, where commercial fertilizer is an unknown quantity. Those farmers can produce cotton at five cents and earn large profits. When a farmer produces fertility with cover crops he is not only building up his lands but he is also dodging farm costs. True farm prosperity will come to the south when her fields are green in winter.?Marion Star. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CHRONICLE.
