Rye Bread.

To my young friend in the Western
Rural,-desiring Instructions in max
ing rye bread,-I will give my way.
At the same time if there are better
.gways [ am ready and willing to learn
them. l proceed in the same manner
as in making wheat bred, always max
ing my yeast of wheat flower, using
nilk for mixing (when [ can get it,
,EEaye used water and had good bread.
Mix a trifie harder, kneading longer,
and baking considerable longer. I am
pleased to hear inquiries of this kind j;
it;shows q willingness to learnEthe best
ways.
I'have made great deal of rye
bread, and have found that as in all
other kinds of work, practice only can
bning perfection. I am also satisfied
thatiif more people would use rye -four
in making bread, they would find it
much more wholesome and healthful,
as we'll IS economical. Mixed half and
half, o. &wo-thirds with wheat flour,
or corn Meal, it makes lovely bread. Il
hope Young Housekeeper viii try it,
then tell the readers of the Western
Rural of her success.

insufficient and Pickering. The eye OF
the workman should avoid the light
coming to him directly or difused
through the room. Working immedi-
ately after meals is Objectionable; also
uninterrupted use Of the eyes for long
periods of time. One should write on
an inclined plane, and not keep, the
head bent down more than is absolute
ly necessary. Reading in bed is bad
every way. Some good authorities
commend washing the eyes with cold
water, but the majority of the best
ophthalmologists advise, the use of hot
water for the less serious affections of
the eye. For tired eyes, we believe,
from our own experience, that water
hot as can be borne is refreshing and
beneficial. If the eyes are fatigued by
bad artificial illumination blue or
slightly smoked glasses Will be nseful,
and in order to avoid the lateral rays
they should be large and round. If
the irritation Of the eyes persists, all
work must be abandoned, and an ex-
animation made to see if there be any
disturbance of refraction, of power of
accommodation or of the mobility of the
eyes. Presbyopia, or so-called "far-
Sightedness, superYenes earlier with
those who are constantly at work than
with other individuals, and as soon as
it does convex glasses should be at once
resorted to, without which the muscle
of accommodation would be fatigued to
no purpose. At first they should be.
used for working in the evening, after
the fatigue Of the day; but a long
sighted person should only use Specta-
cles for looking at near objects, not at.
far ones. Work requiring close appli-
cation favors the development OF my
0pia, or 'neaT-Sightedness," precisely
in proportion rs the conditions of illu-
limitations are bad. IF the actions of
those causes continues, the mYOpia
will increase until vision is lost. A
slight degree of myopia may be favor
able to close work, but, as a general
rule, work requiring close application,
by the arrangement of circulation that
it inevitably induces liz the eve, is
much more injurious to the myopic,
and is the great cause of the develop
ment Of myopia and its complications.
Young people should be examined,
and if they are nyopic, hindered from
undertaking tedious studies and all
professions demanding close applica-
ton Of the eye.

The Narragansstt Turkey

The popular bird known as the Mar
Turkey, originated on the
shores of the bay of that name, some
years ago, and is very largely raised in
Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut.
It is q large gray variety, with lighter
or darker shades, according to the
fancy of the breeder. The aaest strik-
ing and uniform feature about the
markings of the feathers is a white
patch upon the wing bow. Not much
pains has been taken to bTeeGathem to
a feather as the chief thirg looked
after is size. There is probably no
other section, in this country lat least,
where turkey raising receives $50 much
attention among farmers, and where
the average weight of flocks Uuns so
high us in the above named localities.
The soil and climate are admirable, no
disease prevails, and the turkey crop is
about as sure as anything grown upon
the farm. This breed is the result of
careful attention to the selection of
parent birds, and good breeding, con-
tinued through many years. The ear
liest aa2d best formed birds are selected
for Exceeding every year. The prac-
tice Ofthreeding from two and three
year OLD hens is gainingin favor with
the mere intelligent farmers, Though it
is still Hhe exception. Great inpor-
lance lis attached to the selection Of
the ma9e bird. He must be perfectly
formed, ,aE it'll straight breast-bone,
rather coarse, stout legs, and a proud
carriage. A young cockerel, weighing
twenty-afG to twenty-eight pounds lat
the beginning of the breeding season,
is the maael bird to lead the flo6k.
The youmgbens should weigh thirteea
to fifteen pounds. Tt is not uncommon

POULTRY AS FO0D

There is no meat Says writer in
Country Geaatlenaa7a) so cheaply raised
and fattened as poultry. Most farm
ers' families prefer fresh to sailed
meats, especially during warm weather,
and there is none more available ey-
erywhere than that Of fowls. One
fowl makes a meal for a large family,
and there is none Of it left to be thrown
away, or to be salted to prevent it's
spelling. The next meal is running
around, preserved naturally until need
ed. A bushel of corn will keep a far
mer's fowl in good eating condition for
a year. The fowl will lay 100 eggs or
over, which will more than pay for the
grain given, and the butchers cart is
thus always at the door.

Whispering then, my fanc5es weave.

Pensiye for their glories flown,
When bright joys, to youth light hearted,
Seemed to beckon, lured to roam.

THE HYGIENE OF THE EYES.

The following hygienic rules are
compiled and codensed from eminent
French and English authorities. For
the worker the light should come as
much as possible from the left side
that is to say, from the side toward
which one turns in working. Daylight
is the best; but direct sunlight and
that reflected from mirrors should be
avoided. The aspect should be north
ern, and the light should come a little
from above White walls should be
avoided; highly vanished tables, and,
in workshops, shining articles Like silk
should be protected from the suns rays.
Artificial light is always bad on &C
count of the heat and the exhalation of
carbonic acid The best is that of
lamps fed with vegetable oil much
used in France, but seldom in this
and furnished with glass
shade. Gas is bad, because of its heat,
brilIiancy and mobility; the light of
oils is too hot. that of candles

In the American STANDARD Of excel
lence," for Pekin ducks, size and
weight figure thirty points, which are
the most important qualifications.
Weight will vary much with condition
and age. A neighbor adjoining pur-
chased Palmer's famed first imp0rta-
tiOn," and if mistake not, the pair
weighed fifteen pounds. They were as
| fine as any [ had ever seen. No doubt
their weight, like all other birds, NAV
be increased by breeding. They are
certainly the finest and handsomest
of all the duck tribe, but the writer,
never having bred them, cannot vOuch
for their good qualities in comparison
with other breeds. They certainly ap-
pear hardy. VIM. Cliff, in 1874 saws
Of them: "The Pekins come about as
near perpetual layers as any of the
gallinaceous birds that claim the title.
They bear all the marks of thorough
breeding, and carry the duck tribe to
its perfection. They have more than
fulfilled the premise of last year, and
for flesh and eggs are unquesti0nably
the most profitable ducks the farmer
and pOultryman can breed" The ear
Hest importation was made about
1873, and were first exhibited at the
Connecticut State Poultry Society, at
Hartford, in December Of that year.
Mr.. Cliff says: -"They elected many
inquiries, and were the admiration OF
the fanciers from all parts of the
country. The largest pair at the show,
only five months old, weighed fifteen
pounds, without any fattening or spe-
cial preparation, and another pair, later
in the season, weighed eighteen pounds,
and have bred well the present season.
Their record as layers is quite remark
able. One of the old birds commenced
laying the 9th Of February, and had
laid in September one hundred and
eggs, missing but four
days. The other old duck had missed
about two weeks in the same time.
One of the early Matched birds began
TO lay in August, and dropped seven
eggs. In all my experience with Rou-
ens, Aylesburys and Black Cayugas, I
nave never secured fifty eggs from a
single bird"
This is hattering description Of the
birds in question, for, from the small
that have been able to
'orm Of them, they are as far from
being perpetual layers as is the Pea
len. The duck that was brought IN
