Tare of llair-t.ronn Turkeys.
"A Vat met' a Daughter" has the fol
lowing counsel to Rive in tie Country
(ientlenmn, with reference to the care of
young turkeys : Many busy house
keepers who stive their youDg turkeys a
great deal of care and attention when
they are quite small, appear to think
them fully able to take care of them
selves after they are half grown.
They step feeding them entirely, say
ing that the flock picks up so much
small grain and so many insects in the
fields that they do not need any food at
night. So the mother hens begin to feel
very Independent, having the whole
care of theii families on their shoulders,
and pretty soon forget to coma home at
all. but stop in the fields or the woods,
wherever night catches them, and eithei
fly up in the trees to roost where the
young ones become an easy prey to the
owls, or perch upon the fences within
reach of passing thieves. And before
very long half of the joung turkeys
have disappeared, and tha poultry raiser
is loudly lamenting her "bad luck" to
all the neighbors.
All this can be avoided by teaching
them to come home every niaht, and
the thought of a good supper awaiting
them is a great Inducement ; even it
their crops are full of grasshoppers a
small quantity of broken braad is very
much relished, and especially a pan of
buttermilk. Fowls are very fond of
milk, either sweet or sour, and nothing
Is more wholesome.
Of course it is some trouble to go after
them, so the best plan in not to let them
begin staying out. If mine are not In
the ard at sundown I begin to look for
them, and ocasionally have had to drive
them home by moonlight ; they are very
stupid after dark and have to be pushed
along.
After they are several months old
small graiu ran be fed to them, very
spaiinglrat first, else it is apt to give
them cholera ; broken bread crusts and
scraps from the table, sottened with
sweet milk or water, are to be preferred.
Care shou'd always be taktn in regard
to their food, as I have known a care
less servant to kill dozens at once by
spilltng salt accidentlly in their food,
and in one case when the flock found
foms salt which was put out for the
cattle, they ate of it, and many of them
died.
I have known people to put a few
ducks with the turkeys iu ordej to brlog
them home at night, because, they say,
ducks always start toward home at
night, and the rest of the flock will
follow.
How to Sell l'rvpcrly.
One of the most successful and ex
pert need auctioneers in this state ob
serves that in order to make property
sell well these rules must be carried
out : First ad vertisa the schedcie of
articles and a date of sale !n a news
paper which the people read for the in
teresting news it contains, and also by
handbills neatly printed and judiciously
posted to meet the public eve. Second
a person making the sale, if for him
self, should have little to do with it
while the sale is in progress. If fcthe
owner stands around and directs the
sale, would-be buyers will get the im
pression that he is going to bid in every
thing that he might think dots uct
fetch enough, and so where there are
no bargains in prospect the people won't
buy at all. The truth of this will be
apparent to those who recall the fact
that a deceased owner's eetate sold by
an administrator or executor invariably
commands better prices at public auc
tion than the same kind of property
does if sold by the owner himself.
Many persons have failed to .'earn this
truth, so plain that every observing
person must have it proven to him. All
that is essential is judicious advertising
in the columns of a good newspaper.
A Tragedian's Way.
A man walked into the principle hotel
of a Western citv the other day with a
valise and a big appetite, and going into
the dining-room tried for a few minutes
to work up a breakfast. He then broke
ont with :
'What, ho ! landlord ! Is there a black
smith withiu the precincts of this mightv
city ?'
Landlord 'Why, yes. of course.
Tregedian 'Then send one hither.
landlord 'Wrat in thunder do yju
want with a blacksmith in my dining
room V
Tragedian 'I would have him test
his steel and brawny arm by severing
is twain this steak from the shoulder of
the deceased bovine of many years, and
then, for my physical recuperation, I
would have him saw, file and chisel off
a few morsels from its hardened bulk,
for I would dinetho while. I pray thee
haste and fetch him quickly. Stay thee 1
Your biscuits you can take to a stone
quarry for a blast ; these grits I can,
with dexterous art and a glass of water,
manage to swallow whole. Go bring
the blacksmith.
Away !'
Tt-e landlord fainted, and awoke
almost a raving maniac.
Ilathing.
The tonic effect of bathing is caused
by the conttaction of the surface blood
vessels, which drives the blocd back to
the larger bl xd-vefne!s and lha heart.
These react and send the blood rushing
back to the skin, causing the glow
which follows the bath, or ought to fol
ow It, the free respiration, and the vig
orous feeling of the muscular system.
The bath should always be followed by
friction wilb the Land, a brush, or a
towel. The frequency with which it
should be taken depends entirely on cir
cumstances. It should be often enough
to keep the, pores open and the skin
clean, for the skin does one-third of the
breathing, and if it is logged the lungs
must do more work, atd tney will be
overburdened. As a rule, the more
rapidly a bath is taken, the better will
le Itstffect.
Weak persons shou'd be very cautious
about taking cold baths. A tepid bath
is the otiiy safe one for such persors.
WLeu taken before going to bed, rub
with a towel or s one quickly, it will
often soot La -i.d cause tt'.ti p iu nervous
perioua hLo suffer from iciouioai.

A Strang? Lore Story.
Ia Australia several attempts hare
been made to educate, the blacks oat of
tbelr oomadie babits and Into a cItII lif.
but in almost every caae t be philanthrop
ic effort has failed to eradicate the in
stincts o! barbarism. Mr. Ballon, in
Under the Southern Cross." tells the
romantic story of one of these failures.
A young native, a lad of 10 years, was
taken from bis wild life and to Brisbane
to be educated and to grow np In tbe
boms of a white family. Those engaged
in tbe experiment secured tbe consent of
tbe boy, of bis parents and of tbe tribe.
They did their best to make him com
fortable and bappy. Paring nitie years
everything promised success.
At school be proved an apt scholar
and became a favorite with the pupils
and teachers. He was dressed like his
associates and seemed so satisfied with a
civilized life that many good men and
women loosed forward to tbe day when
he would exert a strong and beneficial
Influence upon bis own people.
Oae day shortly after he bad passed bis
nineteenth birthday, be was missing
from Brisbane. No one knew wbat bad
become of bim save one young lady, and
she kept ber knowledge to herself. Af
ter months of March be was found at
bis former home living tbe nomadic
life of a naked savage. No lnd ce
ment could prevail upon bim to
return and live among bis friends.
At last there came out the romance
which revealed the secret of the young
black's nine years sojourn among the
whites of Brisbane. He bad fallen in
love with tbe lovely white daughter of
the white family with which he made
his home, she reciprocated bis attach
ment, for he was a fine specimen of his
race, and her influence mad bim studi
ous and a sojourner at ber father's
house. When his hereditary feelings
begat a longing for tbe bush aBd a
nomadic life she restrained bim from
returning to bis tribe.
At last he frankly told ber that be
loved ber too sincerely to suggest that
she should go with bim to bis savage
borne, bat that be was unhappy and
rect'eo and must seek bis native wilds.
he bad the good sense not to protest
agalcsttbe seperation, for he would not
remain and she would not go. Accepting
the inevitable, they parted ; be to live
as a savage and she to die.
Core for fits.
For a Ct of passion. Walk out in
the open air. You may speak your
mind to tha winds without butting any
one or proclaiming youtself a simpleton.
For a fit of idleness. Count tbe tick
ing of the clock. Do this for one hour,
and you will be gla4 to pull off your
coat for tbe next hour, and work like a
Negro.
For a fit of extravagance and foil v.
Go to tbe woikshouse and speak to tbe
inmates of tbe jail, and yoo will be con
vinced. 'Who make hit bad of briar and tborn.
Molt be content to lie forlorn."
For a fit of ambition. Go into a
church yard and read tbe gravestones.
They will tell you the end of ambition.
Tbe grave will soon be your bed cham
ber, tbe earth your pillow, corruption
vour father, and the worm your mother
and aister.
Fox a ft of despondency. Look on
the good things which God bas given
yon in this world, and to those which
be bas promised bis followers in the
next. He who goes Into his garden to
look for cobwebs and spiders, no doubt
will find tbem ; while be who looks for
a flower may return into bis house with
one blooming in bis boeom.
For all fits of doubt, perplexity, and
fear. Whether they remind, whether
they are a load to tbe shoulders, ;tbe
bead or tbe heart, tbe following Is a
radical cure which may be relied on,
for we have it from the Great Pbysclan :
"Cast thy burden on tbe Lord and be
will sustain thee."
For fits of Repining. Look about for
the halt and tbe blind, and visit tbe
bed-ridden and the afflicted and de
ranged, and they will make you ashamed
of complaining of your lighter afflic
tions.
Totatoes ia apple Orchards.
Shade is demoralizing to tbe potato
beetle, and tbe latter preferably seeks
tbe sunlight to deposit its eggs on po
tato leaves. There is a popular belief
among farmers that tbe potato beetle is
lets destructive to potatoes planted in
apple orchards than to those in open
fields. To this extent the belief is
probebly warranted. Farther than
this, where apple trees abound tbe lady
bug is apt to be numerous. It is at
tracted to tbe apple by the plant lice,
which often attack the foliage of
this tree early iu tbe spring. Tbe lady
bug and its larva destroys the eggs of
these ptant lice, and after these are
gone they take up their home on tbe
potato plant, and thriye on tbe eggs of
the potato beetle. The lady bug makes
its borne in winter under the rough
bark of old apple trees, and in sheltered
places under tbelr trunks. Thus they
are good eupply to begin with, and in
moist, wet seasons will alone some
times keep tbe potato tug from doing
much damage to the crop on the shade
of apple trees. But as no wages are
paid to these industrious little workers,
the potato grower must tot rely upon
their aid alone. If be does not himself
keep a shaipeye on bis crop, bis Insect
friend;, however beneficial as auxiliar
ies, will leave bim in the lurcL. It is
not safe for bim to depend on aught
save bis own vigilance. If be uses this
be cannot be cheated.
X Dozea Xegatives.
There are round dozen things that
you can never get a lady to plead guilty
to, be she old or joung.
That she laces light.
That bei shoes are too small.
That she is tired at a ball.
That she uses anything but powder.
That it takes her long to drers.
Tbat she bas kept yoo waiting.
That she blushed when yoo mentioned
a particular gentleman's name.
Tbat she says what she doasn't
mean.
That she is fond of scandal.
Tbat she ever flirted.
That she can not keep a secret.
Tbat ate is in love.

to keep old and young stock together
keep them separate.
When btes rob one another's hives.
contract tbe entrance to the smallest

to past in singly, thus enabling the bees

The difference between poor butter

is always great enough to pay for good
serrice in tbe dairy, where skill is the
prime factor In recuriog profit.
The farmer who carries a note-book

To make bens lay well jrlve tbem
plenty of pure water. Water enters
largely into tbe composition of an eer.
and you will theiefore see the need of
giving them plenty of it pure and

Blue-grass Is tbe better for pasture.
Orchard grass is a little earlier in the
spring, but does not make as much feed
through the season. Sow fifteen pounds
blue-grass seed to the acre, and twenty
flye pounds of orchard grass.
Fine straw, or "needles," make very
good litter for stables and an absorbent
of the liquor manure. But of them
selves they are not of much value,
Tbey contain six ponnds of phosphate
of lime per 1000 pounds, but very little
other useful matters.
There is perhaps not a nook or corner

by any other parte of the farm.
Attacks of tbe cattle gadfly which
produce the tumors or warbles on tbe
backs of cattle that are so common,
may be avoided bv applying carbolic
wash or crude petroleum to the backs
of cattle in July and August. Strong
butter is a useful application to keep
oil the fly.
Ilsve a place in which to deposit

made, cover the trench with boards to
prevent the ashes from being blown

outlay.
The Way She Did It.
At a residence upon Juneau avenue
the front door happened to be open the
other day, and a little dried up book
agent, with fringe on the bottom of his
pants, was wafted in by the fresh lake
breeze. The madam was just on the
point of going out at the time and ran
on to the little nuisance in the hall
Before she could get a chance to say a
word he opened on her In this style :
-I have here, madam, a little work
which is taking immensely among tbe
more Intelligent and refined classes, and
one which no family can well do with
out. It is entitled, 'How to Live For
ever; or tbe Best Way to Rid Your
Home of Disease Breeciog Vermin.'
It is complete in one volume, and sells
at the ridiculously low sum of one dol
lar, or six for five. It "
I do not wish the book, sir." re
plied the lady as soon as she could gath
er herself. "I am well versed in the
best modes of ridding one's house of
vermin, and tbe book would really be of
no use to me."
"Yes ?"replied he of tbe mammoth
gall. "Well, really now, I should very
much like to have you give me an out
line of your method or getting rid of
vermin, if you have time to explain."
Oh. no trouble at all, sir. it can be
accom pished in a moment." And,
turning, ehe called, "Bridget-oh,
Bridget."
"Yis, mum, here Oi am," replied tbe
domestic, appearing upon the scene, in
the shape of a six-foot crockery hustler.
"liridget, show this gentleman how
we rid tbe house of vermin."
"Thot Oi will, de tafe o' the wor
ruld." replied the eirl. and. catching
the poor fellow in seven different
places at one and the same time, she
tioosted him down the steps, where he
landed all in a heap.
To Sweeten a Tainted Barrel.
A tainted meal barrel may be sweet
ened by charring iL It may be cured
by slacking some lime in it and then
well washing it. but it is easier to
char it. Put a small quantity of drv
shavings in the barrel and set tbem on
nre ana let tbem burn out. Tbe barrel
may be swept out or washed and used
again at once. If lime is used, put a
peck of it freshly burned into tbe bar
rel, and pour a pailful of warm water
os it. When it is slacked down o.AA
boiling water until it Is thin enough to
stir round with a broom, and thorough
ly rinse the barrel several times during
two days. Then wash it clean with
fresh water.
Sherp and Hogs In Orchards.
A fruit grower avers that the prac
tice of pasturing sheep or hogs in or
chards is excellent, less for the value of
the pasture than for the benefit to the
fruit by destroying wormy specimens.
Tbe animals should be fed liberally
dally, at not late at night or early in
the morning, so as to encourage them,
to make early forays for fallen fruit.
