there should be no difieulty OF kno wing lust a,

turkey Is old or young, when it is offered for
sale. Now the following is offered as a rule by
which poultry can be safely judged. which. il
read over a few times, and then laid away for
ready reference when needed, no person need
purchase old, tough poultry unless from choice.

and short, the nails sharp, the uuderbill soft
ana the comb thin and smooth.
An Old hen turkey has rough scales on the

OF al these marks. When the feathers are on
and the old turkey-cock has long tuft or

when they are on, the smooth scales on the lcgs

The Hdine Farmer says: One Of our substan-

his experience in training neat stock affected
with habit OF eating wood, chewing bones, etc
His cattle were one spring affected in this wav
they became thin in flesh, refusing to eat hay,
and presenting sickly appearance. He had an
impression that their food lacked the constitu-
ents for making bone, but his neighbors used
bone meal without noticing any good results
whatever. Last spring be put about four
bushels of leached ashes in his BARNARD and
threw out to them about a shovelful each day.
They all ate as ii with evident relish. After
turning them out to pasture he put one peck of
dry ashes per week on the ground in the pasture.
They ate 1t all up, and gnswed of the grass
where it had been lying. The cattle began to
improve, gaining flesh and looking better than
they had for several years. He says this morbid
appetite was unnOticed years ago, from the fact
that the land was new and ashy from the burn
ings of the woods, and the land clearings. He
has another proof of the value OF ashes for stock
from this incident. He had large tub full of
leached ashes which remained in 1t some time
1t was afterwards used as a watering tub; actu-
ally biting out pieces and eating them. Lat
terly he gives one quart of ashes mixed with
the same quantity of salt, to twelve head OF
cattle, about once q week, and finds it to agree
with them wonderfully.
