The bronze turkey is tho original bird
from which all tho knowD varieties have
descended. It inhabits the greater part
of this continent, and when well cared
for and fed, it reaches a weight of from
twenty-fivo to forty pounds at full
growth. It has been much improved
by careful and skilful breeding; its prin
cipal feature is its handsome plumage,
which is of a dark brown color and has
brilliant golden bronze reflections in the
sunlight. Breeders of theso birds are
to be found in almost every locality if
only sought for. iVeie York Timet.
HOW TO CATCH A FOWL.
Few persous know how to secure a
fowl to advantage. Never seize a fowl
by the tail, if a fine bird, nor touch tho
back, but grasp both legs at once, with
a firm, tight, quick hold, and then raise
free from the ground or perch and hang
the body down clear of any obstacle.
This method docs not radio the plumage
or turn a feather, which in a line bird
inu-t be avoided. When tho web of tho
feathers is once broken it can never be
united again, and where much bandied
this often occurs, giving to tho bird n
ragged appearance. It is tho source of
much annoyance to a nice, clean, smooth
bird to have the plumage rallied. Their
bodily coveriug is regardod with tho ut
most care, and the lustre and beauty of
it indicate tho health and strength of tho
fowl. Kantai Farmer.
such as phosphoric, acid, potash and
lime, are derived solely and entirely from
the toil. Nitrogon, on the other hand,
may bo taken into the plant from the
air or from the soil, and nitrogen la the
most valuable constituent of manures,
and by far the costliest ingredient of
commercial fertilisers. It now seem!
certain, from experiments and analyses
made both in Europe and this country,
that many of the so called legumes, es
pecially the clovers and peas, have the
power of gathering a part of their nitro
irerj in the form of protein.
The protein compounds form blood,
muscle, tendon, bones and other nitro
genous tissues. This makes plants of
this class especially valuable as loaders
in supplying the protein in which many
of our most common fodder plauts are
lacking. When they are plowed under,
or aro fed to stock and the manure is
returned to tho ground, they nlso supply
the nitrogen which other crops such as
wheat, rye, oats, grapes and root crops
aro uuable to acquire for themselves,
except through tho medium of tho soil.
It has thus become quite generally under
stood among farmers that, whether cul
tivation for the sake of their own prod
ucts may be profitable or not, there aro
but few soils where they can bo ignored
in the rotation of crops without leading
eventually to improvement. Vi York
KEEPIKO COWS IXDOOltS.
E. W. Stewart answers an inquiry in
tho Country Gentleman as to tho advisa
bility of feeding cows continuously in
stable, as follows: "The dairy cow re
quires less exercise, perhaps, than any
other farm animal. Exercise is opposed
to the secretion of milk, and the dairy
cow, if in a light, well ventilated stable,
enn keep healthy with only an occasional
airing in the open yard. Wo have known
herds perfectly healthy without being
turned out of tho stable during the win
ter season. Dairy cows will do better,
nnd give more milk on the samo food,
vdicu never turned out except for nn
Lour or so on a pleasant day. They
should be watered when they stand in
atnblo. When fed constantly in stable,
great care should be taken to give food
in the most digestible form, and special
attention should be given to its being
palatable."
', insects isjcmous to cloveiu
The Ohio Station describes three in
sects which do considerable dainairo to
clover: 1. The clover root borer is
small brownish-black, minutely spotted
beetle which deposits its eggs during
spring in the crown of the clover plant,
These hatch, and the larvae burrow
downward through tho larger roots of
the plants, doing serious injury, luo
remedy is frequent rotation of crops,
thus not allowing tho clover fields to
stand until they become breeding places
lor the insects.
I 2. The clover-seed midge is a small
orange colored maggot that develops in
the clover head at tho expense of the
seed. Fields infected by this insect are
at once distinguished by tho unnatural
condition of tho heads at the time of
blossoming. The best preventive is
mowing tho field as soon as the presence
of the insect is obstrved and before tho
seed has reached maturity.
3. Clover hay that has been standing
in the mow or stack for some time is
liablo to become infested by small brown
worms which web the dried stems and
leaves together and feed upon them. This
is most likely to occur when old hay is
left over from season to season for them
to breed in, consequently the mows should
be thoroughly cleaned out each summer
and new stacks should not be put on old
foundations until all the leavings of the
previous season are removed. Hay
-which it iuiested with the worms should
be burned.
Sews and notes for women.
CCRINQ HAT.
I Clover not thoroughly dried may be
safely put in barm with tight siding, so
that air caunot come in at tue sides.
But if very green it must be entirely freo
from water, either of dows or rain, which
carries bacteria to the hay, and creates
more violent fermentation than is pos
sible with the juices of the clover alone
The heat of fermentation dries up these
juices so that they make a sweet, gummy
substance that U reuliy preservative. If
no air can get in, then such hay would
keep, us preserves are kept in closed jars,
But the mixture of old hay or straw with
new prevents all danger of loss. A farmer
remarked thnt some yean ago he had a
stock of hay so poor that cattle ate only
a little of it, and he purchased grain
and fed straw with it instead. Next
having time he made a stuck of new hay,
drawing clover almost as soon as cut, and
putting on first a layer of old hay, then
of grass, until tno stacK was completed.
The mixture made excelleut hay. The
old and the new were euten witt equal
greediness, lie believed that tho same
result would have followed alternating
green hay with straw, excepting that the
straw has a lower nutritive value. Part,
however, of the defective nutritiou of
straw is due to its lack of attractive
flavor. In so far us it can be given the
aroma of new clover hay, iU digestibility
is increased. Whatever is eaten with a
relish does more good than when forced
down. Straw can thus be improved as
feed, besides helpiug to secure buy in
better condition tbau would otherwise bo
possible. This plan is best suited to out
door stacks. Few farmers have enough
barn room to stuck much btraw. Uotton

FA71M AND GARDE! NOTES.
Tho cauna is a popular foliage plant.
Oxalis needs littlo water after it has
finished flowering.
Heliotropes should be kept shapely by
frequent cutting back.
Bv supplying a good variety of food
the necessity for feeding condiments is
largely avoided.
Young poultry should not be allowed
to go on the roosts too early ; it causes
deformed breasts.
Old fushia plants for next winter's
blooming should be cut back and re
potted iu fresh soil.
Ducks aro so much clumsier than
chickens that it is not a good plan to
keep them together in the same yard.
Hens should never be fed so well that
whon they are given a good range they
will not forage a good portion of the
time.
Oneadvantage with stone-drinking ves
sels is that they will keep the water cool
much longer, while they ore cosily kept
clean.
Summer pruning of the vine, when
done at all, is usually overdone, and it is
but little practiced by successful grape
growers.
If the poultry aro conSned now a good
plan is to feed soft food in the morniug,
a green food at noon, and whole graiu
at night.
In selecting out the roosters to keep
for next season's breeding, take those
that aro compact, of medium size and
very active.
A good nest egg can lie made by mak
ing a hole in the large end, letting the
yolk Tun out and filling the shell with
plaster of paris.
To hatch out late chickens, the best
place to make the nests is upon the
ground. A more even heat and moisture
will be secured.
In nearly all coses chickens should bo
separated from the old hens whenever
they are full-feathered. Separate them
and let the hens go to laying.
One of the easiest and best ways of
curing a setting hen is to put her in a
box or cage with nothing to sit on or
amuse herself with but boards.
Store away the sorghum seed, some
millet and sunflower seed, a good bunch
of clover hny, as well as corn, oats and
wheat, to feed the poultry during tho
winter.
If the poultry are to be fed economi
cally during the winter care must be
taken during the summer to secure and
store away a sufficient amount of food
for them.
Sheep do not like tall grass, but pre
fer that which is short. They will pick
up quite a large share of their food on
fields that are but scantily covered, and
in wheat stubble they will eat down all
young weeds as fast as they appear.
Sheep are excellent scavengers.
Dairymen should remember that les
sening the cost in producing milk is
quite as short a cut to the profits, and
equally as certain, as an advance In price
per gallon. Improvement in tho cow,
the feed and the management wm insure
the first condition, and will most likely
be followed by the second.
Those who are obliged to keep their
poultry confined all the time may, by
giving an hour's liberty just at night,
provide a dally grass ration and quite a
supply of animal food without expense.
The amount of scratching a hen can do
In one hour in the morning is surprising,
but at night this may be avoided.
A successful plan in making lawns is
said to be to sow down in August, add
ing ubout two pounds of turnip seod to
the aero. The gradual growth of the
turnip foliage forms a congenial damp
shade for the vegetation and spread of
the young grass plauts. The large leaves
of the vegetable also protect the grass
from early frosts. Their gradual decay
and removal are effected before tho
grasses are so far advanced as to be hurt
by continuous shade, and a thick sward
is secured belore winter.

GKHMAN BEER MOURNERS.
It appoars that recently soma German
students, desirous of commemorating Connt
Von Moltke, under the leadership of a pastor
of a local cburcb who was master of cere
monies, drank a solemn "Trauer-Salauian-der"
in his memory. Any American min
ister who should lend himself to such a beer
drinking ceremony iu the name of mourning,
in this country, would give rise to a great
scandal. It Is n striking illustration of the
backwardness of the temperauoe reform in
Germany, that such a ceremony could take
place and be nothing thought ot as peculiar
or exceptional in that country. The agita
tion for total abstinence on this side of the
Atlantic, though it has not prevented a still
enormous consumption of intoxicants, bos,
especially in religious circles, deprived social
drinking usages of much of their old-time

really unique clock, which ii usually so
object of interest to group of passersby,
who stop to minutely inspect it. A gen
eral view and description of this curious
and artistio piece of mechanism is given
as follows by the Uorological Review:
The very charming case is composed
of three branches in rustic work. It
stands upon a square stono block, sur
rounded on its four sides by beautiful leaf
plants, ivy and grasses. Tho stone foot
stands within a water basin. The upper
part of tho enso contains a dial covered
with glass on each of its four sides. Upon
the cupola stands n stall which carries
th two bells for tho full hour ann quar
ters. At its upper end Is a small vane
in tho shape of a battle nx.
Tho frame for tho wheel and lovers of
tho striking work, in which a small cen-
trifugal pendulum takes tho plnce of tho

period of time; the country isnt peace with
foreign nations: there is no civil strife
within its borders; no agrarian war; no con
flict of classes has occurrei. Yet our jails
and work-houses are crowded , our criminal
courts are never void of culprits; our police
forces, though lnrge, are too small for the
work allotted to them. What is the cause? 1
answer: Alcohol. Intemperance is not the
sole crime of the day, nor is it the sole cause
of other crimes which men commit. Butas
Chief Justice Noah Chase, of New York,
says: "Amoug all the causes of crime in

chief." In addition to specific rum crimes,
alcohol begets numberless others, inasmuch
as it awakens the lower appetites, and hreaks
down nil moral barriers. It is the fruitful
feederof immorality, theft, rapine, tutir.ler.
