The Peed In Voting Turkcj-s,
"Why it i that one farmer will raise
nearly sjyci-y turkey-chick that comes out
of tb shell, and do this nine years out
of ten, without ranch respect to wet or
dry seasons, whilo another loses from
half to three-quarters with about the
same uniformity? We know of men with
whom success is the established rule.
They are very systematic, in this, as in
all their other business. We visited
one of these thrifty farmers, who raised
165 turkeys last year from nine hens,
and upon inquiry found he did about
the same thing every year. We d Mired
to know just how ho managed to secure
thistiniform result, and found him com
municative. He insists tipon good
stock to begin with the best always se
lected to breed from. Then lie places
great reliance upon regular feeding dur
ing the fall and winter, so that the flock
becomes very gentle, and the hens make
their nests immediately about the sheds
and barns iu places prepared for them.
This is a great safeguard against fox
es, skunks, crows, hawks, and other crea
tures that destroy the birds or their
eggs. When the young first come off
their nest they are confined in pens for
a few daya until they are strong enough
to fly over a board enclosure one foot
high. He feeds frequently with coarse
corn meal and Bour milk until four
o'clock in the afternoon. He found in
his experience that he lost a good many
chicks from the food hardening in the
crop. There is danger from overfeed
ing. As the chicks grow, the sour milk
diet is increased, and during the sum
mer it is kept constantly in a trough for
them. They are exceedingly fond of
eour milk and buttermilk, and they
grow very rapidly upon this diet. An
incidental advantage, and a very impor
tant one, he thinks, is that the young
birds are prevented from straying very
far from the house. They return many
times during the day to the buttermilk
trongh for their favorite food. This,
with Indian meal, constitutes their
principal food until about midsummer,
when insects are more abundant, and
they wander further from the house.
This method can easily be tried on
dairy farms. American Agriculturist.
Fnrni Notes.
The grasshoppers went through a
portion of Minnesota, cutting a swath
thirty miles wide.
The best bearing orchards we have
seen thia year are surrounded on all
aides with forest trees.
Good vinegar can be made from the
juice of watermelons by letting it staud
as if it were cider.
A new way to learn calves to drink is
to nail the linger of an old glove in the
bottom of a trough.
Tho Quarterly lieview, an English
publication, says that " the soil of Eng
land is in a state of exhaustion."
The wool crop of Iowa is larger than
ever before, for the farmers have dis
covered that sheep are much more profit
able than grain or cattle.
Set it down as a fact that hay, corn,
oats, and fodder of all kinds are worth
50 per cent, more if fed out on the farm
than if sold to be fed elsewhere.
One of our friends is saving all the
egg-shells he can get to give his hens
next winter to make them lny ; he did
so last winter, and had success.
A good summer drink is made by
pouring hot water on cream of tartar.
A sprinkling of lemon peel helps the
imagination, and the finished article is
nearly as good as cold water.
During all the dry weather some
farmers had green crops. Their wheat
and clover were first-rate, and their po
tatoes still grew. This is because they
plowed deep and manured well.
To Bon, Rice. Take four times as
much water by measurs as rice ; let it
boil very fast, then put it on the back
part of the stove and let it dry off.
Don't forget to put salt in it.
At Talma City, Iowa, a horse was
found prostrate, with his left hind foot
in his mouth, the heel of the shoo so
caught in the teeth that the poor ani
mal was utterly helpless. It took three
men to get the foot out of that horse's
mouth.
Whitewash applied to walls, ceilings,
fences, etc., has a highly sanitary influ
ence at this time of year. In the coun
try this covering is applied with good
effect to the sides of barns and farm
outhouses. It is cheap, easily applied,
freshens and improves tho appearance
of things, and is salutary in its influence
upon tiie health.
: The Sugar Beet.
Herr Horsky, the well-known Bohe
mia farmer, a correspondent who visited
his farm says, has always been a firm
advocate of the beet-root sugar, and
since his acquisition of the farm the
number of sugar manufactories in Bo
hemia has raised from 59 to 160. His
extensive establishment in Kolin was
erected and fitted up at a cost of $250,
000, and it pays annually a large inter
est although it must lie idle a good part
of the year. The process of making
the sugar as practiced in this manu
factory may be thus briefly described :
The roots are washed and elevated to
the upper story, where they are finally
Biiuru turn Hre maceraieu witn water un
til the sugar is dissolved out, and the
fibre is afterward pressed to extract the
liquid ; to this liquid is added lime,
which forms with the sugar sacchyrate
of lime, and all impurities fall to the
bottom and are removed. Carbonic
aoid is next introduced, which precipi
tates the lime, and the solution of sugar
remaining is subjected to the ordinary
method of evaporation and bleaching.
Arresting Decay iu Potatoei.
Various plans for arresting decay in
potatoes after digging have from time
to time been made public, such as dust
ing with quick-lime, gypsum, charcoal
dust, etc. Prof. Church, of Cirencester,
England, the eminent agricultural
cheuiis., announces that sulphite of
lime appears to exercise a very remark
able influence in arresting the spread of
decay in potatoes affected by the potato
disease. In one experiment the salt
was dusted over some tubers, partially
decayed from this cause, as they were
being stowed away. Borne months
afterward the potatoes were found to
have suffered no further injury. A
similar trial with powdered lime proved
to be much less effective.
The Boat Itace.
It is rather a curious result of the
University boat race that the referee
finds it necessary' to come out with a
card explaining that the crew that won
the prize did not come in ahead owing
to the fact that the line across the stream
at the end of the course was drawn
diagonally, so that the Yalecrew reached
it first merely because they were nearest
the eastern bank, and Harvard really
was ahead. What a botch these fellows
made of everything ! They should not
have drawn the line iu this absurd man
ner in the first place, ar d if it was so
drawn, the crews should have known it.
Dr. Carpenter on the Gulf Stream.
The influence of the Gulf fitreirn bn
the temperature of jirMhterh Europe is,
aoeordirt to Dr. Carpenter, usually
very much exaggerated. In that enter
taining work, "The Depths of the Sea,"
the course of the Gulf Stream is well
described. It may be considered as be
ginning on the west coast of Africa,
within the region of the trade winds.
These cause a westward flow, which is
known as the equatorial current On
reaching the coast of Bratil, the greater
portion of the current bends northward,
carrying with it the waters of the Ama
zon and Orinoco, and passing through
the Caribbean sen into thegulf of Mexico.
In that great basin, into which no north
ern counter-current can enter.il 1b further
heated. Until it rUBhfes out through the
only outlet, the straits of Florida, with
a force which carries it a certain dis
tance along the American coast, whence
it crosses the Atlantic toward the north
ern coast of Europe. In the gulf of
Mexico the Water is 83 deg. in summer,
and 77 deg. in winter. Over the bauks
of Newfoundland the water is still 20 to
30 deg. warmer in winter than the sur
rounding sea,
It is now as?ertnsil that by the time
tha stream reaches the middle of the
Atlantic "it is thinned out almost to a
film." In accounting for the eom.pnra
tively mild and rnoM climate of the
coast of Ireland and Scotland, Dr. Car
penter and others assume a more gen
eral agency than that of the Gulf Stream.
Wyville Thompson says: "On working
up the temperature results o the Por
cupine expedition of 1869, Dr. Corpen
ter satisfied himself that the mass of
comparatively warm water, 800 feet
deep, which we had established as ex
isting, and probably moving in a north
easterly direction, along the west coasts
of Britain and the Lusitanian peninsula,
could not be an extension of the Gulf
Stream, but must be due to a general
circulation of the waters of the ocean
comparable with the circulation of the
atmosphere." Thus the cold water of
the polar seas would be constantly sink
ing and flowing toward tho equator
along the bottom of the ocean-, and the
warmer and lighter waters on the sur
face of the tropical and temperate re
gions would be ever flowing poleward.
Summer Brinks.
The general want in summer of some
refreshing drink is widely known by the
return to the shop windows of the ice
cream advertisementsand here let it
be remarked that no more injurious cus
tom obtains man tnnt ot eating or
drinking iced preparations ; the sudden
check to the stomach has, n mere than
one occasion, caused death. Thirst is
commonly caused by the loss of fluid
from the blood, through the pores of
the skin ; therefore aj certain amount
of water is required to counterbalance
such loss i and this requires to be
piquant and palatable, for, owing to the
enervating influence of warm weather,
the mouth becomes constantly dry. The
fluids which best quench thirst are,
first, hot tea, which, if sipped, slightly
inflames or stimulates the mouth, anil
causes a constant flow of saliva ; second
ly, rerated waters, which are very re
freshing, but they lack an important
element. Another pleasing drink is
made by adding to a tumbler of water
two teaspoonfuls of lemon syrup. This
last may be made as follows: Obtain
two and a half ounces of citric acid, and
two scruples of essence of lemon ; boil
four pounds of loaf sugar in a quart of
water, skim it carefully, and add tha
acid and essence. This will keep for
any length of time in well-corked bot
tles. Ordinary beer, spirits, etc., do
not quench the thirst effectually, the
first, savored with salt, really tends to
increase it, while spirits, by inflaming
the coats of the stomach, increase the
want ; weak wine and water is a refresh
ing draught, but is not reqnired except
in enfeebled systems. Iu huge iron
works and other factories, where the
ine,n are exposed to great heat, oatmeal
is mixed with water and drunk with
great benefit ; we fear it would not re
commend itself, however, to a fanciful
palate. For children, toast and water
is very wholesome. Toast slowly a thin
piece of bread till extremely brown and
hard, but not the least black.'then plunge
it into a jug of cold water, and cover it
over an hour before use. The waer
should be of a fine brown color before
drinking.
" Cloud-Bursts."
Waterspouts are generally formed in
the shape of a double cone, having its
least diameter in the middle, and reach
ing from a low sloud to the surface of
the land or water. When created at sea
by the action of the wind, they begin
to form at the surface of the water, ri
sing gradually until they meet the upper
portion, which, nearly at the same time,
begins to descend from the cloud. On
land they almost invariably commence
in the under surface of a cloud and de
scend rapidly until they reach the
earth. At sea the spout or spouts, when
formed, move in the direction of the
wind, with a horizontal whirling mo
tion ; and when several of them are ob
served together, as is frequently the
case, they present a majestic spectacle.
Even when thereis apparently no wind,
the spouts may be seen to move along
trie sunace ot tne water, sometimes in
different directions, and to bend and
twist as if violently agitated by some
inferior foree. The formation of these
spouts is accompanied by a dull, rum
bling noise, like that of a heavy cata
ract heard from a distance ; the part
ing is sometimes followed by a loud re
port. Many of the most remarkable
waterspouts have appeared on land,
and these are frequently very destruc
tive in their march. We have an ac
count of one which is said to have broken
in Lancashire, England, which for the
distance of a mile tore up the earth to
the depth of several feet, as if it had
been furrowed by. some gigantio plow.
In the autumn of 1859, a waterspout
burst near Calcutta, India, inundating
a graesy plain to the extent of half .a
square mile to the depth of six inches ;
two weeks were required to drain off
the wate
In the Sick Boom.
Invalids are naturally querulous, and
as good a motto as can be adopted by
those who minister in the sick room is
one of Charles Beade's : Put yourself
in his place." This may render thenf
patient, thoughtful, kind, tender, and
assiduous. To all of us come, sooner
or later, pain and languishing, when we,
too, need the gracious offices of loving
attention, the cup of cold water held to
feverish lips, the healthful hand on the
aching head, and the healing presence
of a genial and wholesome nature. We
should give all these when we can, and
trust that we shall have the same in
time of need. A bouquet, a pleasant
picture, a beguiling book, an inviting
delicacy for the appetite, these relieve
the tedium of the sick room and enliven
its fatiguing monotony. Those who
wish to impart cheer without weariness
to the invalid, can by these little tokens
of remembrance do more sometimes to
charm the long hours of pain, tkan by
their personal presence.
T'? Shah of Persia.
R.tiont for the lienors Paid Him In
Europe.
It is understood, says Murray, that the
Shah of Persia is merely a curiosity
which is being exhibited by Baron
Renter to enable that shrewd porson to
float certain railway and other schemes,
for the realization of which the Huron
has received the most extraordinary
concession ever granted to a financial
speculator. It" does not really matter
much, for the concession can be and
certainly will be cancelled as easily as
it was eiven and the silly business has
been to much talked about that it is
needless to insist upon it again. It will
probably suit the turn of Baron Beuter
and his friends ; then by and by we
shall hear that there are endless wran
gles about it, till iu due time' the British
shareholders and workmen will be bun
dled neck and crop out of the country
together. However, the Bliall is a
promising (subject at present. He is
unquestionably the absolute, raler and
master of hi countryk ntid ho has a
legal right ttJ pledge and alienate its
resources, at least, during his lifetime.
After that Baron Reuter's concession
will be waste paper. The Shah, how
ever, has certainly got hold of the right
end of the stick. He is a very porsi
monious prince, and took excellent care
to have his traveling expenses paid by
his showmen before he set out on his
travels He gnti it is mi, dbdtit two
hundred thousand pounds for his trip,
and it is not likely that Baron Reuter
will lose by his bargain. Persia has no
national debt. The Shah is about to
create one.
Plenty of greedy people like to fancy
they will get ten or twelve per cent, for
their money, and will lend it as eagerly
on these terms to the Persians as they
have done to the Spaniards and the
Turks. Many persons will make con
siderable fortunes out of the first in
troduction of Persia to the Stock Ex
change, and then all at once there will
be a talk of dividends in arrear and re
pudiation . It might be also as well,
too if widoWsk half-pay officers and
trustees, who are geuerallv victimized
in these cases, would reflect, before it
is too late, that Persia is a very poor
country. The little money that there
is in it is buried away for fear of the
government, and certainly no Persians
will place the smallest Confidence in any
security guaranteed by their own gov
ernment. The greatest trnrt of Persia
is a parched and uncultivated desert. It
has no commerce worth mention, and
the population is scarcely numerous
enough to render railwav remunerative.
The cost of making iron rails over al
most impassable mountains and stony
plains will be immense, and everything
required to make them, from the labor
ers to the steam engines, must be
brought by land carriage, on the backs
of mules and pack horses from abroad,
Nor will managing men of the right
stamp be very anxious to take places in
Persia. The climate is abominable,
and so unfavorable to the health and
vigor of the European and American
race that after a short residence there
they are invariably attacked with dys
entery, which commonly proves fatal,
and their hair falls off, their teeth drop
out or decay, and they are racked by
fever and ague.
It is all very well to say that business
men will do anything for money. So
they will ; but a sensible man will want
a good deal of it to do Baron Reuter's
yvork for him, aud his shoreholders can
only expect the riffraff and sweepings
of the labor market upon anything like
the usual terms. It is quite true that
living was formerly cheap in Persia,
and perhaps it is still so as compared
with the prices of New York, Paris and
London ; but it will be cheap only so
long as foreign consumers are kof t, as
they have been hitherto kept., out of
the country, by the difficulty of getting
into it. Teheran is more than a thous
and miles by land from Trebizond, the
nearest seaport to Europe, and the
journey must be performed on horse
back, through pathless roads and over
mountains which cannot be passed
without extreme danger and difficulty.
Jjuring na't tne year tuey are covered
by snow ; for three months more they
are perilous from mud and slush. In
the hot season the sun and the east
wind beat pitlessly on the traveler.
There are no inns on the way, nothing
but a Tew empty and desolate barns and
posting nouses, which swarm with ver-
min and afford nothing but a dubious
shelter. The wild tribes on the fron
tier between Turkey and Persia are al
ways in movement, and wander about
in armed bands thousands strong.
They are ferocious and filthy robbers.
Woe to the snus railwav clerk or well
fed engineer of plump aud rosy aspect
who falls into their hands. Some years
ago they caught an English attache (a
Mr. Tod) and ate up his pomatum
What was worse for him, they made

pricked him up behind with a spear's
point when he flagged and ultimately
neid mm to ransom.
Uaron Iteuter s friends will be a rare
prize for the Koords, some of whom, by
the way, are worshippers of the devil.
Then, if the English speculators are
ever allowed to get to their journey's
end their comfort will be small. Until
the railways are made (an end of the
business which will hardly come about
in the present century) everything
winch constitutes the comtort of
civilized household mu6t oe imported,
and land carriage is expensive. A
moderate man, too, will be obliged to
keep a dozen servants and half a dozen
horses, neither of which articles are
cheap or good, and upon the whole
salaries must be calculated much higher
in Persia than even in India. Nothing
under a thousand pounds sterling yearly
will keep a family decently ; and to go
to I'ersia for mere victuals and drink,
without being able to save a dollar,
would be a poor business, indeed.
There is no mistake about tke actual
cost of living and moving about in
Persia, and tents, cooks, guards, tent
pitchers, interpreters, food and wine
are not to be had and carried about for
nothing. There is, indeed, a certain
queer sort of respect paid to the Frank
in I'ersia. .tor instance, tne soldiers
presents arms to every man who wears
a chimney-pot, under the belief that he
is a foreign ambassador or one of his
suite ; but the fanatic Shiites, or here
tical Mohammedans, will not allow a
Christian to enter their publio baths
lest he should defile them. They will
not drink out of a cup or glass which
he has used or sit upon
him.

Ingenuity of an Insane Man.
The Lancaster (Penn.) Express re
lates the following in giving an account
of an attempted escape by an insane
man: " In the insane department of
the Lancaster County Hospital there is
connned a man named jonn jjicnoume.
He is not dangerous, but is not safe to
be let at large. A short time since he
managed to scale the yard wall, four
teen feet in height, but was shortly
afterward captured. Yesterday evening
one of the assistants, in making a tour
of the yard, discovered hid under a pile
of stouts in a comer, a singular looking
ball, which he took to Superintendent
Cox. On examination it was found that
this ball was made up of a rope, some
thing thicker than broom twine, and
that the material used in making it
were tho leaves of peach trees, with
which the yard is studded, the bark of
the small limbs and some grass. The
rope when unwound is nearly 300 feet
in length, when ia a ball it is as large
as a twenty-four pound round-shot. It
is so tough that the strongest nanus
cannot tear it apart. The man must
have been working upon it for several
weeks, his obiect being to escape from
the institution by its aid.
"Ah Sin" In New York.
The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Journal relates that J
is a well-known broker who is given to
constant poker-playing. He has be
longed to the aristocratic circles and
various clubs,and has for some time en
joyed the reputation of being a most
expert player, and navmg a wondenui
run of luck at cards. But now he is in
terrible disgrace, the topic of scandal
in society and Wall street circles, dis
carded by acquaintances, and refused
admittance to his old haunts. As the
story goes, he was, not long since, play
ing poker with one of the Lorillards at
an up-town club. "lJoor after "pool
had been " raked" in by him, until his
earnings for tne evening footed up be
tween 89,000 and S10.000. Lorillard's
countenance lengthened. He looked
fierce and savage, as if suspecting some
thing was wrong. Suddenly springing
from bis seat lie seized s nand
and, throwing down the cards before
the lookers-on, showed them that Mr.
Blank was a cheat."

the Goss mystery has been solved. The
poor fugitive has been tracked through
all his devious wanderings, from the

the burning of a dead body p.....ureu
in New York, in a little board shanty
at Waverly, which he called his labora
tory. His brother took him to the pres
ident of the Street Department, in a
buggy hired from Dr. Thome, and he
set out on his travels northward. He
passed through the State of New York,
and crossing over into Canada, spent a
couple of months at Montreal and other
towns in the provinces.
Then he went to his old home in Ten
nessee, but the pending ease agaiiist the
Mutual Insurance Company, like a bale
ful loadstone, drew him back to the vi
cinity of Baltimore, and the other con
spirators were obliged to provide him a
hiding-place where they could commui
cate with him aud prevent him from be

tained a home for him in Chester Coun
ty; iinrt whlri he had tforn out, his credit
and his welcome iii tlittt neighborhood,
he went to Newark, N. J., and spent a
portion of the winter and spring in that
city.
When Judge Bond postponed the
hearing of the motion made by counsel
for the Mutual Insurance Company for
a new trial till November, Uddetook
became alarmed lest the plot should be
discovered, and then poor Uoss was tie
coyed back to Chester county, and when

which he had imported from New York
seventeen months before to personate

anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently, when we neard, some
eighteen months ago, that a physician
iu California had compounded, from
the juices and extracts oi certain herbs
found there, a medicine that cured
almost every variety of blood disease,
we were incredulous. Since then we
have had opportunities of testing the
accuracy of the report, and are free to
admit that our doubts nave vanished.
Seeing what we have seen, knowing
what we know, it is impossible for us to

Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermittents,

The Wear and Tear of Life.
Tbe cares, anxieties and misfortunes of life have
aB inucb to do with shortening it as disease. Tbey
are in fact tbe source of many ailments and physi
cal disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspepsiu,
affections of the liver, disturbances of tbe bowels,
neaaacues, nypocnouatia aud monomania are
among tbeso distressing fruits. It is, therefore, of
great importance tbut persons whose minds are
oppressed witb heavy buaiuess responsibilities,
or harassed by family troubles, or exoited by spec
ulation, or perplexed by a multiplicity of enter.
prise, or in any way overtaxed or overworked
should keep up their stamina by the daily use of a
wholesome ulc. Thousands if persons thus cir
cumstan ced are enabled to bear up against the dim
culties iu which they are involved, and to retain
their strength, health aud mental clearness, by tbe
regular use of Hi stutter's Stomach Bitters. Dis
eases which are prone to attack the body when
debilitated and broken down by ever-much brain-
work, or exhausting physical labor, are kept at
buy by the resistant power which this incompara
ble tonic endows the nervous system and the vitil
organs. At this seasou, when the beat is evaporat-
lug tbe elements cf strength from every pore, an
iuvigorant is absolutely essential to the safety and
comfort of the public, and la required even by the
moreiobusttf tbey desire to keep their atheletic
capabilities In status quo. Hence a course of His
tetter's Biiters is particularly useful at this period
of the year as a defence agaust tbe invisible dis
ease afloat in tbe aultry atmosphere. It ia the most
pntetit cf all prcTentitre medicines, aud fir all com
M'aiuts which anVct thn st'imacb, tha livur and the
