CHARCOAL FOR TCRKEYs.-A California
paper highly recommends charcoal for fat
tening turkeys, and says that it should be
pulveriz=d and mixed with mashed potatoes
and corn meal, rs well as fed 10 them in snail
Jumps. 1t mentions that in two lots OF four
each, treated alike, and one lot given this
mixture aud the other not, there WAS an av-
erage gain in the weight Of the first of
pound aud a half each. In commenting
upon this another writer says: "While We
condemn the Practice CT mixing the pulver-
lied charcoal with other food for turkeys,
compelling them to eat it whether they want
it or not, We have no doubt of the excellent
effect of supplying them charcoal broken
into small bits, especially when fatteninS for
for market. We have bad evidence Of what
We say, and for number of years have rec
commended charcoal for this purpose.

FATTEXING ANIMALs-A very com
mon error among farmers, which needs
correction, is the opinion that animals
may be tatteneG in a few weeks, and
ilted for market, by heavy feeling,
or, as is termed, by pushing. Many
farmers do not think Of beginning 10
tatIen their hogs or cattle for early
winter market un'il autumn has ac,u
ally commenced. Their food is then
suddenly changed and they are dosed
with large quantities Of grain or
meal. This sudden change often de-
ranges the system, and it Is frequently
some time before they rec yer from il.
From observation and inquiry we
find that the most successful managers
adopt very different course. They
feed moderately, with great regularity
and ior a longer period. The most
successful pork raiser that we have
met with commeTces ;he iattening of
bis swine for the winter market early
in The preceding spring. In fact, be
keeps his swine in a good growing
condition all through the winter. He
begins moderately, and increases the
amount gradually, never placing be
fore the animal more than it walt freely
eat. WIKI this trealmen:, and stric,
attention % the cleanliness and com
fort Of the animal, his spring pigs at
ten months usually exceed three
hundred pounds, and have sometimes
gone as high as tonr hundred and fifty
pounds, and pigs winlered over reach
a weight Of five or six hundred The
corn, which Is ground and scalded be-
fore feeding, nets him on an average
of not less than one dollar per hushel
when the market price of pork is five
cents per pound.

DEATH OF CARDINAL ANT0NELH.-A dis
patch from Rome announces the death OF
Cardinal Gracnmo Antuuelli. the cnnfidential
adviser of Pope Plus TX Deceased was born
at Sounino, near Terraceno, Italy. in 1905.
He was educated at The great seminary OF
Rome, and having at an early age given
proof Of great ability, was appointed by Pope
Gregory XVI 10 various civil offices, tain
ing III 1915 hat of minister of finance. After
the accession OF Pope Plus he Was made car
dilal, and year later, in 1913, prime min
lister. Al first he won the avor Of tn popu-
lar party, but later adopted more re'ro.re-
nisn policy. and thereby incurred the enmity
of the liberals. In 1861 he WAS made Curator
ad interim of tine University Of Rome. Ia 1866,
by the death OF Cardinal L gDlinU. be beca me
dean Of the order of cardinal deacUns. As
a srat-sman he became prominent for his re-
mons rance against Victor Emanuel's Italian
policy. He protested against the events that
led to Italian nationality, and gr-srly ipfla
enced if he did not dictate the policy Of Pope
PIus IX. An un-pccessful attempt was
made on his lite in 1855.

THE HUNDRED ToN GUy.-The big
gest thing yet attempted in the line OF
heavy artillery is the hundred ton gun,
iast completed at W WoOlwich, England,
for the Italian navy, for which eleven
other pieces of the like size are to be
manufactured. This tremendous en-
gine Of death has a base 500 feet in
length, II inches in diameter in the
clear, and it is estimated has & projec
tile force of $4,000 tons-that is, the
dynamite effect of It's discharge will be
equal to lifting 10000 tons on foot, or
one ton about six miles. For the
charge 400 pounds of powder will be
required, and the she'll projcetile will
weigh $500 pounds. The monster will
be worked by hydraulic gear, and
swabbed and loaded by machinery,
and with lis ION shell will be able To

Hardening STEEL WITH MERCURY
The Indianapolis Mechanics Journal

it is cooled, there are better materials
than water. which besides gives an

ice as jewellers and waichmakers in

HATING ONE ANOTHER. Two Scotch
men occupied the same cottage. each
being bound to keep his own side of the
house we'll thatched. They were sadly
divided religiously, one being Bur-
CHER and the other an nti-Burgher
After repeated battles of words they
were not on speaking terms. One day
these men were at work on the roof,
each thatching his own side. and they
met at the top and were forced to look
in each others faces One of the men
took off his cap, and scratching his
head said to the other; Johnnie, you
and me, | think, has been very foolish
to dispute as We have done concerning
Christ's will about our kinks, until we
hae clean forgot His will aboot oursels;
and so we hae fought SO bitterly for
what we ca the truth that il has ended
in spite. Whatever is wrong. it's
perfectly certain that it never can be
RIGHT to be uucivil, unpeighborly. un-
kind; ia fact, tae bate one anither.
Ma, ma. that's the devils work. and no
Gods! Moo. it strikes me that maybe
it's wi the kirk as wi this house we're
working on ae side and me on the
t'ither, but if we only do our work
weel we will meet at tho top at last.
Glen your han. auld neeghbor !" So
they shook hands and we're the best of
friends ever after.

Counting and Divorce.

An old story contains lesson which
many married couples have not ye,
learned When Jonathan Trumbull
was Governor of Connecticut, a gen.
tleman called at bis house one day,
requesting private interview He
said I: Il have called upon very un
pleasant errand. sir, and want your
advice. My wife and l do not live
happily together, and am thinking Of
getting divorce. What do you advise
me to do :"
The Governor sat few moments in
thought; then turning to his visitor.
said, How did you treat Mrs. w.
when courting her? And how did you
feel toward her at the time of your
marriage p
Squire W replied :: Il treated her
as kindly as l could, for l loved her
dearly at that time
"Well, sir" said the Governor, "go
home and court her just as you did
then, and love her as when you married
her! Do this In the fear Of God, for
one year. and then tell me the result
The Governor then said. 'tLet us
pray"
They bowed in prayer and separated.
When year passed away, Squire w.,
called again to see the Governor, aud
said; II have called to thank you for
the good advice you gave me, and to
tell you that my wife and are as
happy as when we we're first married
1 cannot be grateful enough for your
good counsel" /" Il am glad to hear it
Mr.. w." said the Governor. "and l
hope you will continue to court your
wife as long as you live"

A VENERABLE SLAB.-It is odd that
just now marble slab should be un-

N. j.. containing the following inscrip-
tion: "The citizens of Newark. in
grateful commemoratian Of the fiftieth
anniversary Of American independence,
have on this Fourth day Of July. A. D.,
1926, deposited this stone as founda-
tion of monumental memorial here to
be erected; and when the dilapidation
of time shall diacover this inscription
to future generations, may the light
Of the Gospel illuminate the whole
world" The memorial has never been
built; and the hope expressed has hardly
been fulfilled.

GERMAN W4vEs.-The culinary art
forms part Of the education Of the
women 10 Germany. The well. to- do
tradesman, like the mechanic. takes
pride iu seeing his daughters good
housekeepers. To effect this object the
girl. on leaving school, which she does
about fourteen years Of age. goes
through the ceremony of confirmation,
and then is placed by her parents with
country gentleman, or in a large
family, where she remains one or two
years, filling what may also be called
the post Of servant, or doing the work
of one This is looked upon as an
apprenticeship to DOMESTIC economy.
She differs from a servant. however, in
this-she receives no wages on the
contrary, her parents pay for the care
taken Of her, as we'll as her clothing.
This is the 6rst atep in her education
as housekeepsr. She next passes, on
the same conditions. into the kitchen Of
rich private family, or into that Of a
hotel Of good repute. Here she has
control Of the expenditures Of the ssr-
wants employed in it. and assists per-
sonally in the caQking, but is always
addressed as Miss, and is treated by
the family with Difference and consider
alton. Many daughters Of rich families
receive similar training. with this diff
ference. however. that they receive it
in princely mansion or royal resi-
deuce. There is reigniug queen in
Germany at the present time who was
trained in this way. Consequently the
women in Germany are perfec. models
of economy.
