TURKEYS.

A little experience is a very good thing in
raising TURKEYS a, well - anything else II

be fed more than twice a day If kept in

while they are Young. The practice Of feed
lng vet raw corn meal is very injurious to
all kinds Of fowls, and especially turkeys.

ed with water and baked, then dampened

pan Of sour milk set out 70 them will disap-
pear in an incredibly short time. aud the
curd scalded and the whey poured off is ex-
oellent for them. Hens should be quite
young. but gobblers ought to be KEEP, over
until the second year. Breaking up the nest
and forcing the hens 10 lay a second time
Is not best, as the turkeys raised with com
mon fowls never do so well, and the late
chicks thus obtained do not often make up
in weight what might seem an advantage in
getting a few more eggs.

Preparing Chocolate.

| find tin quart cup, with bands mark
ing each half pint, the most convenient YES
sci in which to prepare a small amount of
chocolate. In this the quantity can be accu-
rately measured, and the depth of the cup
keeps the contents from boiling over For
one cupful Of chocolate take half an ounce
Of Bakers chocolate and FIVE Jumps Of
cracked loaf sugar dissolve them IN two
thirds Of q cupful of hot water, and boil
rather slowly until one-third Of the quantity
is left; then add half pint Of rich milk,
and simmer slowly until single cupful re-
mains. The liking for chocolate is in many
cases an educated taste. and often one who
would turn with loathing from it thus pre-
pared would partake with delight if only
half the quantity of chocolate was used.
In either case it proves healthful drink,
especially for dyspeptics.

Overlooking Young Animals.

Overlooking an animal is worse in its eff
fects than a spare diet. A deficiency Of
food prevents growth to an equivalent ex-
tent, or at least it prevents fattening, while
it may sustain the animal in moderate
growth. But a spare diet, especially of rich
food, is indispensable to the thrift of young
animals. 4 great many more of these are
stunted and injured by overlooking than by
under-feeding. A case has recently occurred
with me which may be worth noting: \
rather opiniona,ed and willful hired man.
who requires the closest watching in feeding
the stock, in defiance Of strict orders, gave
some young Berkshire pigs some cotton-seed
meal III their feed, in the expectation that il
would help them grow. Their feed had
been skinned milk with a quart Of mid
dlings 10 the paiful Considerably more
cotton seed meal was added to the feed dur
ing my absence from home for a dan aud
night. and on my return the next DAY. two
Of the Young pigs were taken With cou,ul-
SONS and severe spaSms. They died the
next day, when two more were taken. and
soon after two more. The whole ia died
IN the same way. First they slowly turned
round and round. then stood with the head
IN corner and pressed against the wall OF
yard fence the Jaws were chopped together
and they foamed at the mouth. Afer few
hours they lay upon their side and struggled
violently with the legs until they died. A
dose Of lard-oil allayed the symptoms for a
time, and had it been given at the first
would probably have saved them. On open
ing them the lungs were found congestcd
and yer. red in patches, and the brain. also.
was much oongested, the blood-yessels being
a dark blue The stomach and iniesiincs
were filled with co,ton-seed meal. the milk
having been diges,ed. So short a case Of in
digestion, or stomach siaggers, a. it is popu-
larly called. j. rare; bu, the pigs we're bu,
: months old, and had probably been mis-
fed previously. Couou-secd meal is too
rich food for Young animals. and so rich
a food that it should be gwen with caution
even 10 an old one. This is the first los, Of
any animals by death that Ia, occurred TO

Goats as Sheep Protectors.

A New York exchange says the farmers
of Hunterdon and Somerset counties, y.
J., use goats to protect their sheep from
dogs.
Two goats can drive away dozen dogs,
and two are about all each farmer puts in
with his sheep. As soon as dog enters the
field al night the goats attack him, and their
butting propensities are too much for the
canine, who finds himself rolling over and
over. A few repetidons Of this treatment
cause the dog 10 quit the field limping and
yelling. Formerly when the dog entered a
sheep field at night, the sheep would run
wildly around and cry piteously. Since the
goats have been used to guard them they
form in line behind the goats, and seem to
enjoy the fun. Inc idea Of utilizing goats
in this way came from the West, where they
are put in sheep pens to drive away wolves.

Summer Talk for Mothers.

Be patient with the little children this hot
weather. They are soon weary. Don't drag
them about in the sun, to show their fine
clothes. Don't seold them for rolling on a
tempting cool grass plot. Don't find fault
with their lingering to babble their little fat
hands in water. when they can find it.
Don't force them to eat quantities of meat,
because that is your hobby, when nature
calls for fruit, and vegetables, and a light
diet Don't put them to bed in close, hot
room, at sun down. ''to get them out of the
way" and doom them to lie there kicking
at mosquitoes, while you are leisurely taking
ice creams, or otherwise refreshing your
self, out Of sight and sound and hearing of
their cries. Don't ever doom your children
to that which you could not endure your
self

Cheap Bone Dust.

Nearly every farmer has surplus apples,
or some other fruit, the boys of the neigh
borhood, and especially of the neighboring
village, long for. Tell them you will give
them peck of apples for bushel of bones,
and you will have plenty of customers.
Then. late in the fall, take little waste wood,
pile it with the bones in heap, and burn
them until they are white and can be pull
yerixed with the back Of shovel. This
gives you what is called bone-ash, power
full fertilizer, and just what is wanted as an
ingredient of the compost-heap. 1t is the
cheapest way both to get and utilize the
waste homes. bushels of which lie around in
every community.
