Thoroughbred GobbIers.
american Agriculturist.l

Thorough breeding i'm the poultry yard
pays quite as well as among larger animals,
though very little attention is paid to it.
Most farmers are satisfied with breeding
turkeys from the runts of the flock, which
generally means birds Matched in August or
September which have not had time to ma
ture for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
markets. Toms weighing fifteen pounds, and
hens ten pounds, will indeed perpetuate the
race, but there is very little profit in breed
ing such stock, when birds third or more
heavier, are within their reach, and can be
bred with no more care or cost. The intro
ductiOn of n thoroughbred Bronze or Mar
ragansett gObbler weighing twenty pounds
or more, at eight months from the she'll
among flock OF mOngrel turkey hens, will
add from three to five pounds weight per
head to the turkeys raised the first season.
The cost OF such young cock is not far
from s.. Suppose 4 hundred birds to be
raised, the gain would be about 400 pounds,
which, Mt the price that Rhode Island tur-
keys brought the past season in Eastern mar
kets-20 cents a pOund-would be $50. As
turkeys with good range get their own liv-
ing through the summer, the most of this is
clear gain. 1t will pay those who raise tur-
keys to invest in thoroughbred gobblers.

Fattening an old Cow IN Nile.

Fattening an old COW is generally a slow
and sometimes an improbable process. I'M
less she gives milk enough meanwhile to
pay for the extra feed. A writer jim the Ma
tionai Live Stock Journal, who has made
good beef of cows at sixteen to nineteen
years of age, causing them to weigh 100 to
go pounds more than at any period during
their Younger life, thus describes his pro-
cess, which he has, without exception,
found satisfactory, the animal always lit
tie more than paying at the pail for all teed
consumed and sometimes good deal
more"
"If the old COW is quite thin and skinny,
as she j. very likely to be, she should not be
piled strongly with cOrn-meal on the start
This is apt to make her feverish, and to in
duce "a state opposed to thrifty fattening
Besides, this feverish state will render her
milk gargety. Give her slightly loosening
and cooling food at first-such as pumpkins
potatoes. sweet apples, succulent rowen
grass, one or two pounds of oil meal, cheap
molasses, and clover hay, or, better, green
clover: and with any of these may
be given on the start one or two
quarts Of cOrn-meal per day. The
food must be gradually increased. A pint

with three parts of water and mixed with

stomach and bowels in excellent condition
when beginning the corn-meal. And all
these foods will make prime milk. Another
food that will be found successful, and in
many places cheap, is one bushel of flax
seed ground with fifteen bushels of corn.
This fiaxseed will render the corn-meal
jus. laxative enough for health, and

entered an office in Park Place the other day
and thickly inquired if ne could have the
use of their telephone for a few minutes.
AS a matter of fact, the office had none, but
the clerk in charge placed an old champagne
bottle on the desk, mouth toward the
stranger nd told him to go ahead. He
drew up his chair, eyed the bottle long and
closely, and finally put his mouth at the
opening and called out:
"Hellol hello. Shay, hello"
After waiting half minute for an answer
he lifted up the bottle, snufIed at it, and
then turned to the clerk and said:

the ffaxseed is worth, rs food, all
il usually costs. Cotton-seed meal may also
be fed to advantage up to three pounds per
day Linseed meal, made BY the new pro-
cess, is excellent to feed with corn-meal, as
it has large proportion of nitrogen, and
thus balances the corn-meal; but two pounds
per day is sufficient of this. The principal
gram food may properly be corn-meal,
which is usually cheaper for fattening than
any other grain, Bran and cOrn-meal
go well together for feeding an old COW,
and after the COW gets accustomed
to the use of the grain you may feed
her six quarts of bran and six quarts of corn
meal in three feeds per day. IL is always
better to begin feeding her on pasture, be-
ginning the use of grain lightly. as men
toned, and increasing little by little up to
her capacity. IL the COW be young that you
desire to get rid of, because she is too small
mixer you may be surprised at her sud
den improvement in milk when you try fat
tenipg her on the plan suggested. Many
dairymen do not know the capacity OF their
cows TO give milk, because they have never
fairly tested il by full feeding"
