TURKEY FATTENIEd.-An nice plump
turkey-most people have weakness
that Wny-is what on many farm the
young people of tho household ure
now looking forward to produce.
Turkeys in Il few weeks will not be the
least rcmunerative department. Of the
farmyard when properly cared fornnd
fed. In the majority of eases in this
country turkey rearing hardly pays
for The large outlay III trouble and
other expenses, Bat they are undoubt.
cdly profitable to raise when reared on
profitable principles, which means
plcnty of food, care and exercise.
There Is II great difference of opinion
in regard TO Iattcning turkeys, but cX-
pcricncc has shown breeders that the
best way to get the greatest number of
pounds of flesh is TO feed the birds all
they will eat, right from the time they
hatch out TIL they arc ready for mar
kct. While they are running at large
is the time to develop chem. They l,n-
doubtcdiy get much food in the fields,
the scattered grain, the choppers, ("
worms, etc, etc, but then that must be
supplemented by daily or twice daily
feeds OF grain at the barn, TURKEYS
cannot bear con onlincmcnt, especially
when in small llocks or sinyly, and
should never he confined longer than
Il week or ten days before killing. An
ordinary rai pen is one Of the best for
the purpose, Tor they like to be on the
ground. AT this time feed principally
on cooked or soft food and plenty OF
milk, If you have it to spare, giving,
occasionally, hard, whole grain TO
keep the flesh solid and firm.

AGRICULTURE.

lNJURIEG THE HORSES EYEs.-lt has
been observed that of all domestic ami.
mails the horse is most affl ioted with
diseases Of the eye. Some of these all
ments are hereditary and from un-
known causes, Others-and these are
of painful frequency-are not inheri-
ted, and their origin may be readily
traced. OF this latter class of causes
may be mentioned insufficient or bad
arrangement of light in stables; blink
ers: high racks for feeding, ammonia
fumes in the Stalls. and the whip. AL
though the eye Of the horse Is well ad-
aptcd for seeing ut night, yet he Is not
a noctural animal, therefore the stable
should have daylight freely admitted
to 1t. A dimlyllghted stable imposes
on the horse sudden changing from
twilight to broad sunlight, which can
not fail to weaken the sight. If the
windows are arranged on one side or
the other Of Il stall, the horses head
will be directed mostly to the side from
which the light comes; one eye will be
more in the shade than the other, con-
scqucntly both eyes will be strained
from being exposed to unequal light.
Ii the window Is directly in front OF
tho stall, glare of light is directed
toward the eyes with a binding effect,
which is very injurious. Probably the
best arrangement for lighting stables
Is by means eff Il skylight or windows
placed near the ceiling. Much has
been said against blinkers, yet their
use continues to Il considerable extent.
If the eyes Of the horse, like those of
man, were directed forward, blinkcrs
might prove uncomfortable but not
injurious. ihc range OF vision in the
horse is much greater than in man by
limiting this range division and allow
ing IL forward direction only-whlch
Is not according to naturc--the mus
clcs of the eyes become strained and
their strength impaired. 1t Is not
reasonable TO suppose that the timid,
nervous horse, that starts at every un-
usual sight or sound, would be in
spirod with more confidence if allowed
to see all there was to be seen than if
strainlng the eyes painfully to see OBJ
jccts terrible to him just back of the
blinkers. The position Il horses head
has to assume when feeding from Il
high rack Is the one most favorable for
chatf or other hurttul matter from the
hay to iall into the eyes. The most Sc
rlous injury commonly arising from
this cause is from the boards OF grain
The sharp little hooks or pricklcss on
these attach themselves to the eye in
such way that the water from the
tcar-gland can not wash out the boards ;
inflammation follows, and even the
most judiclous treatment cannot always
save the eye.

but / am really sorry that he advises
the trustees of the free colorcd schools
not to give tho Radicals any more
schools. / don't really think thcro is
one true, honest-heartcd colored man
i'll this county would go to work and
swear a lie against the Democrats.
We have q sci of colorcd teachers in
this county, and ] don't think that
there was one of them taking any part
in the last election at all. From the
first of the Republican nomination,
when they nominated such as they did
nominate, for one said that did not
intend to support the ticket. l knew
very well that we needed men to.
represent this county who felt the in
lercs: OF the educational affairs, and I
knew that such as johnson, Martin
and Byrd could not do it, for the sim
pie fact that they had not the abilities,
and several others came to the same
conclusion. Again, we know that the
only hope of getting the little colorcd
children educated is by the svmpa-
thy of the good-heartcd white pcoDic,
and L hope that The white people Of
this county WORT accuse us ali for q
few insignificant individuals. 1t is the
only hope that | can sec for our col
orcd people 70 sec their own destiny,
and to vote for the interest of their
country-by their becoming educated,
and not until then. And YOU, my
democratic friends, will admit this.
There arc Il few colorcd men in this
county, if not the largest majority,
Will give the Democrats credit for
their kindness. You know there are
hot headed colorcd men who Arc really
unable TO think for themselves and they
must have some one think. for them,
therefore, You should not treat the
good ones bad on account Of The bad
ones, and L hope YOU, as Democrats,
will consider this matter over and
treat every man according to his scv-
cral abilities. b. l.. GLENN.

hCll, oll laSI EIltitlV evening, was one
of the most pleasant Of the series.
Although tho attendance was not as
large as might have been, this fact did
not prevent those present from giving
themselves up to mirth and gaicty for
tho entire evening. Only one Of the
readers for the occasion put in an ap-
pcarance-Aliss Anna Phinney-who
read a selection from "The Widow
Bcdott' in a very entertaining man
ncr. The Misses Gcrig sang two
sweet songs, and Mrs. Dwight rem
dcrcd Whispering Waves" on the
piano. The music, both vocal and in
strumcntal, was excellent, and was
much enjoyed by all present. The
treasurer, Mr.. w. II. Flcnnikcn, made
report Of the finances. the evening
being the anniversary Of the organizes
ton Of the society. His report showed
that ssl29.3S had been received by him
from the collections, and that S79.15
had been expended, leaving balance
'ance in his hands of $50.23. The on
pcndiIurc was made in the purchase Of
the handsome set OF pulpit furniture
for the Presbyterian church. This
certainly is a gratifying result Of the
readings, and the officers have reason
to congratulate themselves upon the
pleasant meetings during thc last ytnr.
