EFFECTIVE SCENERy.-In witnessing a
blood and thunder melodrama, the Jap
anese insist upon having real blood and
a laundering racket. A play, which was
recently put on the boards at a theatre in
Yokohama, was not wanting in elements
of horror, such as the successful simula-
ton of wounds, but it afforded an oppor-
tunity for more amusing bit of realism.
One of the most terrible scenes was sup
posed to take place during storm. The
stage manager disdained to have recourse
to the make believe method of pease and
shot to simulate the sound of rain. He
must give his audience real rain, and so,
by means of concealed pipes, have regu-
lar pouring shower, continuing through
out the scene, deluging the stage and
drenching the actors. The effect was
really admirable, not only aiding the
mimicry of the scene, but in waiting u
cool and refreshing moisture throughout
the house.

Mammoth Bronze Turkey.

Noted for their great size, and rich,
changeable bronze colors. Bronze tur-
keys do not get their growth till three
to four years old, and, at maturity, the
hens weigh fifteen to twenty pounds,
and gobblers thirty to forty pounds each
greater weights even have been known.
The first year, good weights for hens are
twelve to fifteen pounds, and gobblers
twenty to twenty-five. Turkeys lose
from two to five pounds each, if changed
or shipped, but usually regain it in few
days, if well kept. The Bronze are No.
1 layers (too heavy for mothers), hardy,
make rapid growth, and being good for
ayers, are death to grasshoppers and in
sects. Mine breed true to color, and are
of the largest size. Young turkeys may
be raised by hens or hen turkeys. When
first Matched, we place them on clean,
dry, grassy spot, and for week feed
nothing but curd Chopped fine), seasoned
slightly with black pepper and few
green onion tops, chopped fine and mixed
in. Young turkeys digestive organs are
delicate. and they eat but little the first
week. After week old, we add to
their feed boiled eggs, about one half,
and at two weeks old a small quantity
of meal can be added After four weeks
old they are sufficiently strong to be fed
scalded meal or meal and sour milk, and
dish of all sour milk, at all times wi tn
in their reach, is good. After two week
old they should be allowed to range with
the mother, when the grass is dry, for if
drenched or drabbled in the wet grass
they get chilled, and often droop and die.
Their natural diet is insects, and they
should be permitted to forage as much
as possible. Turkeys grow very rapidly,
and, when Matched as late as August, will
mature so as to winter well. In fact, a
young turkey, unlike very late chicken,
will grow and thrive through the coolest
weather, with liberal feed, and, in this
latitude, it is better not to house or shell
ter fullfledged turkeys. For all they
consume during the period of growth,
turkeys make ample weight, and it costs
scarcely more to keep them than it does
ducks and chickens. On Il farm, where
insect food is abundant, they are very
profitable, and are fed grain to a good

"Wanted-A Boy"

A tradesman once advertised in the
morning papers for boy to work in
the shop, run errands, and make him
self generally useful. In few hours
the shop was thronged with boys of all
ages, sizes, sorts and conditions, all
wanting situation. The shop keeper
only wanted one boy, but how to get
the right one was the difficulty. He
thought he must find some plan to lessen
the number of applicants, and give him
better opportunity Of selecting Il
good one. SO he sent them all away
and thought the matter over a little.
Next morning the papers contained the
following advertisement:
"WANrEp--A hoy who obeys his mother"
"Now, then," thought the tradesman,
81 shall see soon who will apply" He
also put bill in the window with these
words on, and how many do you suppose
did Gomez The story is that there were
only two of all the numerous boys seek
ing employment in that big city who
felt that they could honestly come and
say, 81 obey my mother"
The crowd Of lads were indeed quickly
thinned out most effectually, and the
tradesman had not much trouble in Sc
lecting boy.
Such boys as these-boys that obey
their mothers-are in great demand
My little boy, if you saw an advertise,
ment for such boy, could you go and
truthfully offer yourself for the situation
If not, fear there is something wrong
about you. Look to the matter; seek
the Lords salvation; be an obedient son
and God will bless you.-Children'

COOKED FEED.-We think fowls cost
less, and return more, if fed warm, cooked
food once a day, early in the morning.
A mixture of corn, oats and bran, and
middlings, ground fine, is good or the
corn may be boiled unground. 1t is well
to add portion of boiled potatoes, APP
Piles, or turnips, and vary the mixture
occasionally, for a change. The feed
should be well cooked and not made
THU. In breeding season, fine bran and
oats, with vegetables, make feed suf-
ticiently rich for Asiatics, which are dis
posed to get so fat as to prevent laying,
increase broodness, and render eggs un-
fertile. In fact, they should be fed very
sparngly, and kept hungry and lively"
prefer whole grain in variety for mid
day and evening feeding. In cooking
daily there is quite saving, as much
stuff and scraps can be converted into
food that would go to waste. There is
nothing but what fowls will eat, if pro-
perly ''dished up."-Todd's Handbook.

PREPARING BROOM CORN FOR MARKET.
Notwithstanding the fact that the price
is governed by the color of the brush,
and that exposure Injuries the color, some
farmers still cure their corn in the most
careless manner. Even for home use the
brush should be cured under cover, as
exposure renders it brittle and leaves 1t
without that toughness and elasticlty
which we look for in a good broom.
All that is required is roof to cover it
and free circulation of air. Asserting
the brush is matter of importance; as
with most other products, when good and
bad are mixed indiscriminately, the whole
will sell for only the price of the bad
Hence the poor and crooked brush should
be separated and kept distinct until it
is baled for market. While the best
growers agree in doing this, they do not
agree as to when is the best time for
doing it. Some do the asserting when
the brush is delivered at the scrapers,
while others find it more advantageous to
Gull it before it is removed from the
tables. A man goes along in advance OF
the wagons and places the poor and crook
ed brush by itself, and both the straight
and crooked are stacked separately in
the wagon and kept apart in all future
operations, -American Agrieulturist.

The Position of the American
Farmer.

A correspondent of the Western Farm
Joaruat says; "In no country is sgri-
culture so despiscd as in America.
The Emperor of China holds the
plough one day in the year as mark
of respect to agriculture. But, says the
fast Yankee, China is barbarous.
China has better agriculture than
America. She has the largest popula-
ton. the longest canal, the widest

Two of Mr.. Llncoln's Stories.

Here are two fresh stories about Mr..
Lincoln /:
One day, a gentleman, speaking to
him about Mr.. Chase's political am
bition. expressed surprise that the office
of Chief Justice of the United States
was not sufficiently high to aliay the
ambition of any man. DO you know
Mr.. Chase well-very we'll - asked Mr..
Lincoln. "Yes. think so," somewhat
doubtfully replied the other. Well" I"
rejoined Mr.. Lincoln, let me tell you
about Mr.. Chase He is man who, if
be is happy enough to get to heaven,
will certainly aspire to seat on the
throne"
At another time, during a cntical
period of the war, two gentlemen were
discussing with Mr.. Lincoln on an i'm
portant matter which required prompt
decision Observing that other persons
were waiting to see him. one Of them
remarked that his work seemed TO be
endless, for as soon as one matter was
adjusted another arose. aud that many
matters must be brought before him
which it would be imp ossible for any
man to settle THAT reminds me of q
man out West" said Mr.. Lincoln.
He lived away out West, where he
had no neighbors, and worked the farm
himself One day some friends visited
him and walked out to look at the
place. The host pointed out the use of
this and that lot, and in one which he
said he was going to plough. the visi.
tors observed an immense tree which
had been cut down recently. They
asked him what he was going to do
with that tree. Well" said he, "that
tree has caused me considerable per-
plexity. | couldn't make up my mind
just what to do about it. 1t is so green
