Aemdn, writing on "variety OF food for

turkey on. Lay 1t on the back, not letting
the water reach II. Cover the boiler, and
steam two hours. Roast one hour. Boil

chop fine and put It in the gravy. Pour
the water from the boiler into the roast.

CALLS ON HoRsEs-Owing 10 defects
In collars and saddles, or lack of season
able attention in wet weather, the backs
breasts and shoulders OF horses become
badly CALLED. 1t is cruel to work them
in this condition, but in many caBes It car
hardly be avoided, especially on the ca
nal. In such cases the wounds should
be thoroughly spunged daily with strong
soap suds followed by a solution OF salt
petre and spirits of turpentine. Put one
quarter Of pound of the former and II
pint of the latter into bottle and shake
them well together and apply to the
wounds with a feather two or three timel
each day, or oftener II circumstances will
permit, till the healing process commences
when the application may be discontinued
