MAKE your farm so valuable by con-
slant improvement, skillful culture, good
fruit, ornamental shTubbery and pleasant
surroundings that no money viii tempt
you to leave it. We think it should be the
settled purpose of every young man to
put down his stakes for life, to make a
permanent home which he will never
wish to part with till he is called TO the
better land.
FARMERS who live in sparsely-settIed
districts, astounding in large dry pas
lures, can afford to give the time of
faithful and intelligent lad the whole
summer through, to be devoted exciu>
sively TO rearing turkeys. The young
broods must be watched as constantly as
ever shepherd watches sheep in region
infested by wolves. Every night, or
during the day on the approach of
rain, they must be driven to a IoOmy
shed with a tight roof. The mother
birds and the young can soon be trained
to being driven as easily as COWS are
driven to pasture. Give good forage
ground, and keep out of rain and dew,
and success is almost certain.
BREAD THAT Will KEEP MOST
Take pitcher that will hold two quarts
of water, scald well, and then put a pint
of warm water in it and little soda (no
salt) stir in flour enough to make bat
ter, not very thick, for it will not rise so
soon set it in a warm place to rise.
When the emptyings are about light
enoug b to mix use, for four or five lOaves
of bread, two quarts or more OF -four in
your bread pan and pour into it three
quarts of boiling water, stirring with a
spoon while pouring it in, forming thick
paste let it cool so as not to scald the
emptyings, then stir them III we'll and
sprinkle some -four over the top and set
it away to rise. When light enough to
make into loaves aud set them to rise !;
have your fire just right, for great deal
depends on baking; it must not bake 700
fast.
THERE Is one point in poultry manage
ment to which we wish to call especial
attention, as but few persons who rear
poultry for profit ever attach much i'm
portance. Notwithstanding it has great
influence upon the profits. It is to keep
your birds tame, whether they are kept
up in suitable Enclosure during the ea~
tire year or permitted to have unlimited
range, for it pays to do so, in many ways.
Ii you keep your birds tame, so they
/ will come to you quickly at the call and
eat out of your hard without any sign of
fearor distrust, they will always be quiet
and content, and will fatten and thrive
much better This is we'll understood by
I breeders of the larger kinds of stock,
/ such as cattle, horses, sheep and swine,
while there are a sensible few who apply
/ the same principle with poultry. Many
/ a fine nest of eggs has been destroyed by
wild and frightened hen, hen which
had early learned to fear her master or
owner. If uniform kindness and gentle
ness had been resOrted to, the hen would
suffer herself to be handled while on the
nest, and never once think of leaving it
in such hurry as to endanger the eggs.
If the poultry on the farm is kept tame,
it is not very difficult matter to catch
one or more when wanted for table or
/ other usAs
