Food fo, Young Tarkoys.

In some cases, even the best of care fails
to secure good number Of young turkeys
Before they have fully feathered UP they
are the tenderest of birds, but when they
have put on a full dress of feathers, moth
ing in the way Of poultry is more hardy
or less liable to disease or disorder. As
young turkeys, like young guineas, make
such very rapid growth Of feathers, when
young, they require constant care and food
in fair quantities and often, to enable them
to Withstand the great strain on their sys-
TENS; and not supplying them fully at that
stage of growth is what causes so many to
drop off suddenly from no apparent cause.
Boiled egg, chopped fine, no doubt makes
agood food for turkeys to commence with.
but it is not at all necessary. One of the

of red tcayenne) pepper was supplied.
They were treated to sweet milk for drink

Potatoes want Potash.

The potato fourishes the best in climate.
Of moderate temperature and moderate
moisture, in virgin soil unmanured by
animal manures- heterogeneous manures
do not seem to be favorable to the produc-
tons of the best potatoes. The recently
cleared regions of Maine, Vermont, parts
of Canada and the Michigan lumber di-
tricts especially, furnish the best potatoes.
The potato draws heavily upon the soils
mineral element. 1t needs potash and
consumes much of it. In soils almost de-
void Of vegetable matter, but Astounding
mineral matter, as in the foot hills OF the
Rocky mountains, the potatoes thrive Won
derfully. In seasons of potato rot, many
good crops have been grown on elevated
wind-swept land, such free course of air is
unfayorable to the growth of fungi But
fine crops in favorable seasons are raised
in swampy lands, and in such soils the po-
tato bug has frequently found that the Wig
orous tops were too much for him, and has
been unable to lnjure the crop. Having
selected soil you may plant on turf turn
ed, or on land in culture the year before.
I prefer the latter and would plant after
buckwheat, for buckwheat is said to. kill
out the wire worm, and does not require
manures of a kind to hurt the potato.
Plow and plant early. believe in deep
planting to four inches below the
level surface Of the ground is not too deep
for the potato.

History of the Alphabet.

A lecture in London, giving these
facts on the "History of the Alphabet .

Writing was that which made paper
speak, and without it we should have no
such thing as history, unless what was
misty tradition. Writing originally CON
sisted in drawing pictures of the idea in
tended to be conveyed. We are indebted
to the Israelites for something of the art of
writing, for it is spoken of in Exodus as
familiar to them. Probably the Canaan
ties were also acquainted with the art, as
one Of their towns is called ssthe town of
books" There was an Irish tradition
that a great grandson of Seth invented
the Hebrew, Greek, Latin and naturally,
the Irish alphabets. On tracing the let
tiers back to their origin, we find they
consisted of pictures. This practice still
finds favor with the American Indians.
The Mexicans also wrote their history by
means of pictures; but on their discovery
they were destroyed by superstitious
hand and now hut few. are extant.

He Was Not a Veteran.

An aged man came into our sanctum
yesterday. Deep-eyed sadness sat on his
eyebrows, like frog on the shore Of a
mill-pond. His attire was faultless in re-
gard to ventilation; in fact, he looked
as if he was a model for some house that
manufactured ventilators. His shoes
showed two long Sits for admitting air,
which could come out at his knee, elbow
or hat, the whole system of ventilation
being perfect and complete. He hung
his hat up on the third hook from the
door, being the one set in diamonds, and
drawing our new morocco footstool up to
our feet, sat down and opened fire.

Beginning Poultry Keeping.

There continues to be very general de-
sire to engage in keeping poultry. The
business does not require hard work, is at
tractive, agreeable and interesting. Ital-
SO promises profit to those who engage in
it earnestly, and profit is the chief induce
ment to the majority of tho novices who
desire to attempt it. A few general eau
tons are needed by those who would i'm.
dcrtake this business.
Anovice cannot by the nero use Of mon
ey, take up poultry keeping and make a
success of it. On the contrary he will be
more than likely to lose all the money he
invests, if he supposes that the business
consists only in buying some fowls and
feed, and in selling eggs and chickens, by
simply permitting tho hens to produce
eggs while he gathers them Success
comes only to the person of long expert
ence who knows precisely what is to be
done to secure this result. It is best to be-
gin with few fowls, making their keep
ing secondary business, until these can
be managed with success and profit. The
number may i've increased, and when the
business pays sufficiently, their sole atten4
ton may be given it. To commence with
it is more profitable to purchase fowls than
eggs. !

Household Hints.

To remove machine Oil, wash the spots
in cold water, using soap; must be done
before wet in anything else.
When color on fabric has been destroy
ed, sponge it with acid ammonia, after
which an application of chlorofor1n will
restore the original color
To make starch polish, take two ounces
of spermaceti,. two of white wax, and melt
them together with gentle heat; add one
teaspoonful to one pint Of starch. + 5t
Toremove mildew from light kid gloves
without injuring them, first dry the gloves
thoroughly; stretch, rub the spots well
with q moderately stiff brush, then with
small quantity Of egg albumen or -four
paste.
To clean zinc, take oxalic acid, dissolve
in soft water; wet cloth with Ii, rub the
zinc all over, and Immediately follow
with dry, soft cloth. Care must be ia
ken not to get the acid on The clothes, as it
will spot them.
Clothes can be bleached 10y putting six
cents worth of oxalic acid into gallon
| Of boiling water and pouring over them.
Stir them up and let them remain in it
till the water is cold, and then lay them
out on the grass to bleach. They will
soon be as white as snow.
A simple way to remove iron rust from
any white cotton or linen fabric is to soak
it for several days in sour milk. This
rarely fails, but if it should, phosphoric
acid Qiqui0 may be applied successfully
and without injury. No process is requir-
ed but to touch the spots with the acid
and let it dry.
Too clean engravings, put tho engrayings
on smooth board, cover it thinly with
common salt, finely powdered; squeeze
lemon;ju juice upon the salt so as to dissolve
considerable portion Of it; elevate one
end of the board so that it may form an
angle Of about forty FIVE or fifty degrees
with the horizon. Pour on the engraving
boiling water from 8. tea-kettle until the
salt and on;juice are all washed off;
the engraving will then be perfectly clean
and free from stains. 1t must be dried
gradually on the board or on some smooth
surface, being secured by drawing or 9TH

it will be tinged with yellow color

Persian alphabet was very large. In the
Egyptian Language a pair Of eyes slgnifed

the Egyptians had large number Of
signs for one letter, there being twelve
signs for the letter S, for instance. They
also appear to have written indistinctly,
for after writing a word they would affix
a picture Of a meaning they intended to
convey. The English alphabet comes,
perhaps, from the Egyptian; at all events,
the principles on which both are founded
agree. Our alphabet1s directly derived
from the Phrnicians, q race we'll qualified
to disseminate language. The Greeks
have tradition that their alphabet was
derived from the Phenician. The Phe-
nicians introduced the alphabet into
Italy, and from Italy it was adopted by
almost all the European nations.
