TURKEY BREEDING.-A flock of we'll |
grown turkeys make such an agreeable
addition to the receipts of the farm, and
they are often raised with so little trou-
bic, that wonder at the seeming indif-
ference of so many farmers with refer
ence to them. The rules for breeding
are simple and easily understood. and
failures are due to two prominent causes
one, the weather, which, in some sea-
sons, puts at fault the utmost possible
care; the other. negligence. A hot and
dry season is we'll nigh an essential for
success with turkeys. This is so i'm
portant that it is of little use to be in
haste to get turkeys Matched early, as
we may do with chickens; though old
birds are tough enough, young ones are
exceedingly tender If broHght out by
the first of June, it will, in most cases,
be early enough. Even if they live
through such chilly and damp weather
as is common in May, they will not grow
much until hot weather and bugs come
to their relief; but, let them hatch out
in June, in weather which drives the
breeder to the shade, and little turkeys
just enjoy it; they will stretch them
selves in the sun and clay off with
every token of delight. Damp, chilly
weather is their ruin rain abomination
morning dew poison sure to blight the
. hopes of inexperienced or careless breed
eFs. Turkeys must be allowed to range
o very freely to insure success, but no
: while the grass is wet-that is, during
the first two months or so of their lives
n After that, one need not be quite so par
ticular. Early turkeys not being ad
# visable, the first litter of eggs from

,e in May, and the turkey hen be invite

SELECTING STALLION.-The selec-
ton of stallion is an important matter.
He should be from. q family with well
established characteristics which he, like
all other members of the same family,
will be likely to transmit and stamp up
on his offspring. He should be of good
size, have good bone and muscle, and
the ability to do what will be required
of his offspring. HeshOuld have kind
and tractable disposition, for vicious char
acteristics are transmissible. He should
have good action, for action is wanted
in a horse. If horse is wanted for
draft purposes, breed with that object in
view, and breed heavy draft horses. If
horses are wanted for general purposes
on the farm-to pillow, to NOW, and to
do all kinds of farm work, and also to
ride, to drive before the buggy or car
riage-then different horse is wanted
more active, and that can be used
more handily for any and all purposes.
If he has fine action and gets over the
ground rapidly and in fine style, he is
better to ride or drive and will command
a high price for all people will pay
for beauty and speed in horse if they
have the means. Many of our fastest

Voraeious Tigers.

The Lewiston Me Journal prints the
following extract from a private letter
from Rev. Mr.. Eveleth, a native of that

at the village Of Moan, the people there

from this village to a Karen mountain a
little to the east. This monster had
killed and eaten nine persons, and now
no one dared to go that way. He was q
great fellow, about seventeen feet from
tip to tip, very bold, and afraid of no
body of men. He captured whoever
came near him, whether Ksram, Shan or
Burman. II there we're several in the
party, he always sprang upon the last
one. he was so heavy apd sprsng from
so great a distance that he killed every
one the moment be struck him. The

seven men. The last one carried a

A father and bis little girl were going
home from their bszaring, when the tiger
sprang upon the child and carried Der

pursued the beast, and caught hold Of

the father placed the dead child on his

MAYOR FLIPPIN's message to the

startling statement of facts. Very

aware of the financial condition of

most judicious application of our

lars deeper in debt every year. The
truth must be told sooner or later.
and the truth is, it is simply and
utterly impossible to pay this debt
in its present shape" After stat
ing the case fully he asks to
be empowered to negotiate with
the creditors of the city for a
compromise Of the debt. Should
this be accomplished it is proposed

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
DORSEY B. THOMAS.

We are informed hat this gen.
tleman has announced his purpose
to run for Governor on a low-tax
platform, Independent of conyen-
ton or party. Mr.. Thomas, we be-
lieye, was an Old Line Wing, and
has figured occasionally in State pol
tiles, though not conspicuously or
with much success. His last APP
pearance was before the Democratic
State convention, at Nashville, Au-
gust, 1874. He received a very
complimentary vote and might have
been nominated but for the fact
hat Porter was regarded as a West
Tennesseean and certain politicians
were determined to forestall any
aspirant for the Senate from this
section by giving us the Governor.
Shelby county being divided, as
usual, Porter received the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Thomas lives on the east
side of Tennessee river. He is
a plain, well : informed man,
popular among his neighbors,
but not an able speaker. He is to
speak, we are advised, at Humboldt
Saturday and at Brownsville Mon
day. If he takes this course, it is
doubtless with the understanding
that the Republicans will make no
nomination, but give him the field
and their support. Personally he
is a ,ery clever man, and he can
make a strong race, but he cannot
be elected over the nominee of the
Nashville convention of August
9th.
