The general practice in the poultry
districts is, to fatten the early broods of
turkeys for Thanksgiving and the later
ones for Christmas, and to send each lot
to market in a lump. The advantages of
this are, that the warmer weather of
autumn is favorable for fattening, and
less food is consumed. The money also
comes in a pile, and much labor is saved.
But occasionally we linda farmer who
feeds his turkeys straight on through the
winter, selling in small lots, when he can
get his price. When we ask him for his
reasons, he tells us that there is always a
difference in selling farm produce at the
buyer's price, and in selling it at your
own price. The turkey crop is mainly
disposed of at Christmas—and he can
always get a better price if he waits until
February and March. The turkeys are
all the while growing, and are wanted in
the village markets at reasonable paying
prices. There is also a good demand for
them as breeders in March and April. It
pays him to winter his ffock.— American
Agriculturist, Feb. 1.
The republican leaders of the county
are becoming interested about who shall
be delegates to the State and National
Conventions. The discussion of the
question has developed the fact that there
is a strong majority of the party in the
county favorable to BLAINE, and who-;
ever represents the county in the Harris-!
burg convention will be bound by every
honorable consideration to aid in secur-1
ing a delegation to Chicago who will ad- j
vocnte his nomination to the Presidency, j
unless it should be thought advisable to i
recommend GROW, the most sensiblej
thing that could be done, in which case j
BLAINE would be the second choice. It |
is also pretty evident that the republicans '
of Bradford do not want Don Cameron
placed at the head of the Chicago dele
gation, and will probably give the dele
gates to be selected next week to under
stand this in a manner which it will not
be healthy for them to disregard. If Gen.
Cameron would accept the position the
State convention could do no wiser thing
than to send him as a delegate to Chica
go-
It seems incredible, and yet it is true,
that the price of wheat in New York,
Chicago and other American markets, is
almost as high as it is in the districts of
Europe where scarcity bordering on fam
ine prevails. This results from the ex
isting "corner" in wheat, whereby some
fifteen to twenty million bushels are held
by a syndicate of speculators, in the be
lief that the ncessities of the people
abroad, where the last crop failed, will
enable them to command still higher
prices. Among the financial reforms de
manded, there is none so important as
one that will prevent great speculative
combinations in food.
The Kansas City Journal says: "It is
often asked why the Journal does not
•
get up a 'Parnell boom' in Kansas City.
The reason is this, that every dollar in
the city that can be devoted to charitable
purposes beyond its own precincts should
be given to the white and colored suffer
ers in Kansas. Not that we are lacking
in sympathy for the unfortunate in Ireland,
but because an equal demand upon the
sympathies and purses of charitable peo
ple exist at our very doors." Very sens
ible.
Mr. Perrault's new Montreal magazine
entitled Canadian Emancipation , is out.
The following is the opening sentence of
the first article : "In unfolding the llag of
Canadian emancipation and commercial
union with the United States we answer
the earnest call of patriots, citizens and
business men all over the land."
A despatch from Pittsburg says : "There
was a general resumption of work at
nearly all the river mines to-day at the
old rates—3 to 3 1-2 cents per bushel; no
scale. The few pits remaining idle are
idle from a cause, and not connected with
the general strike, This virtually ends
the great coal strike.
