HOW TO RAISE TURKEYS.

The object of this article is to tell
how to care for the young turkeys,
and to be successful in the business
of raising, the turkey chicks need at
tention when first Matched. When
first Matched they need warmth more
than food, and if the mother has been
we'll fed while performing her duties
of incubation, she will be capable of
supplying it, but we think it good
plan to give each young chick
whole peppercorn as soon as all are
Matched and dried off. Farther than
this, remove the shells and let them
alone for twenty-four hours. On the
second day after Matching, the chicks
need food and can be taken from the
nest. The old turkey should be con-
fined in roomy coop in warm, dry
place, and there should be good
sized yard enclosed for the young
chicks to run in. Three boards,
each twelve or fifteen inches wide,
and twelve feet in length, will make
a nice run for this purpose, by set
ting them ON edge in the form of
triangle, with the coop at one of the
corners.
With the coop prepared, three
boards, ten stakes, and very little
time a good turkey run can be set up,
and this is just what is needed until
they get large enough to run at lib
erty. If more than one brood is to
be provided for, another run can be
made adjoining one of the sides of
the first, and then only two boards
| are needed. We think it a good
plan to have two broods hatch at
nearly the same time, and when they
90 to the coop give both clutches to
one hen. The coops should be SO
made that they can be closed at
night to guard against night prowling
animals and rats. Rats are sure
death to young turkeys if they once
get taste, and rat poison is the
only remedy, but remember it is the
rats only that are to be poisoned and
not the young turkeys; so rat poison
must be fed in the night while the
turkeys are shut up, and all poisoned
food removed before the young are
let out. Cold and wet are very Diet
rimental to young turkeys, conse-
quently they should be kept up until
the wet or dew is dried off, even af-
ter they are allowed their liberty,
also keep in confinement, in rainy
weather until after they are large
and strong enough to stand such

Subsequent Removal by Surgical

Mr. Oscar Craigg Was foreman in cement quarry.
at Rosendale, Ulster Co., N Y. By explosion one
day in the quarry he lost eye-lost totally Under
the impression that the matter less serious the
local physician told Mr. Cragg that his eye was not
lost wholly but could be saved by treatment. The ex-
pertinent was tried and failed. Worse remained be-
hind. for he in danger of losing the other also,
through sympathetic Inflammation. In this strait he
consulted DIR. David Kennedy of Rondout n. Y,
who told him the injured eye must be taken out to
save the other. To this Mr.. Craigg demurred and
went back home in doubt. His local physician said :
$50 TO New York." To New York the patient went,
and one of the most eminent ocusts in the country
having looked at the case sad ''You have lost one
eye entirely go back and do what you to save the
other" Briefly. DIR. Kennedy removed the ruined
eye and treated Mr.. Craigg with ssKennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy'' to build up the system, and the
result was successful.
DR.. Kennedy's great success as a Surgeon is due
to the use Of s'Favorite Remedy'' in the after

THE QUESTION OF MOTHS.

The common clothes moth was for
merly the only one that troubled
housekeepers, but of late years the
"buffalo' or carpet moth has in many
localities come to plague them. To
keep woolens and furs from moths,
two things are to be observed-1st,
to see that none are in the articles
when they are put away, and I'd to
put them where the parent moth can
not enter. Tin cases soldered tight,
barrels headed so that not even liq-
uid can get in or out, have been
used to keep out moths. A piece OF
strong brown paper, with not hole
through which large pin can enter
is just as good. Put the articles IL
close box, and cover every join
with paper, or resort to whateyel
will be a complete covering. A
wrapper of common cotton cloth, 81
put around and secured, is Otter
used. Wherever a knitting needl
will pass the parent moth can enter
carefully exclude the insect, and tn
articles will be safe. As to the buf
falo or carpet moth, this fortunatel
exists in only few localities. n
better remedy than that we gave
year OF two ago has been offered
Wet folded sheet or other cloth
lay it over the place near the edge c
the carpet, and use several hot fla
irons, moving them about from tim
to time so as to send the steam dow
through the carpet and into all tt
cracks of the floor, and it will kill tt
moths. Where properly tried, it h;
been effective. -American Agricalt

ABOUT MAKING COFFEE.

All the French methods appear to
be based upon the very simple one
in use among the coffee growing
countries, which perhaps is the rea-
son that the beverage produced in
the latter is so much more celestial
in its flavor and effects. The ma
tives of these favored climes parch
the fresh bean Immediately before
using, not quite to the chestnut brown
considered the perfection of roasting
by us. They never grind it but
bruise it in mortar, and large ia
blespoonful of the fragments is used
for each cup. This is placed in
conical shaped flannel bag and boil
ing water is strained three times
over. The result is invariably adj
mirable, as any one knows who has
partaken of it after long mornings
ride through those torrid countries,
before indulging in the grateful noon
tide siesta. Bruce, the Abyssinian
traveller, relates the curious fact that
the Gala of that country, who are al
ways warning with their neighbors,
are able to traverse immense deserts
with no other food than coffee roast
ed, pulverized and then mixed with
butter to a consistency which will
suffer it to be rolled up into balls and
put into leather bag. A ball of
this composition, about the size of a
small billiard ball, keeps them, they
say, in strength and spirits during a
whole days fatigue better than loaf
of bread or a meal of meat This is
very likely to be true, for the coffee
is classed among the cinchonace@ Oh

Total voting population

The total vote actually cast in the
above counties now accomplishing the First
district, in the last Presidential election,
was 80 lT6, or 4,953 votes less than the
number of voters.
BY rcdistricting, the following coun-
ties have been taken out of the First
district, viz: Calhoun, Peasants,
Richie, Wood and Writ. These coua-
ties represent voting population OF
1888, and they actually east in the last
Presidential election, 800 votes.
Thus by redistricting the State, the
First district has lost 1888 of its voting
population, and at least 1920 votes
that would be cast.
Divided between the respective parties
the votes taken from the First district
are as follows:
The Democrats lose 5,Ol4 votes. The
Republicans lose 4,O66 votes. The
Greenhackers lose l 40 votes.
Ifthe same proportion of votes to the
voting population be cast this year as
were cast I'm 1880, the total vote of the
First district will be about $4,000.
AS each of the political parties have
been reduced IN about the same proper
ton in the new district, their relative
strength may be said to remain about rs

ITDGED BIZ PRACTICES RATHER
THAN PLATFORMS

Some of the leading Republican jour-
mails of the country are just now discuss
ing this question: "What is Republic
can doctrines"
The New York Times has discovered
that the congressional committee ofthe
party to which it suppOses Itself to be-
long, having raised campaign fund by
extorting money from office holders Is
using a portion of it to print and dis
tribute congressional speeches upon the
Southern elections in favor of protection
and i'm defense Of political assessments.
AS that journal does not support a pro-
tective tariffnor approve Of blaekmail-
ing public employees, it finds itself in
Iuandary rs to its own orthodoxy.
ATpcr's Weekly is in a similar di-
lemma and finds little consolation in
consulting its party platform and esPec-
tally party practices in the different
states.
There is one Republican journal,
however, that knows where it stands,
and is not mixed upon either Of the
platforms or practices of the party.
Neither does il hesitate to speak out in
meetin'.
"The managers of the Republican
organization" says the Boston Herald,
.'have permitted the better clement in
the party to incorporate its demands
in the platforms for the past dozen
years. The most correct and beautiful
sentiments have constantly gone forth
as the simon-pure Republican doctrine
while the bosses thrust a tongue in
their cheeks, and winked knowingly to
the boys, or INDUCED in open 'hilarity,'
rs recently ut Harrisburg. And what
has it all amounted to? Look at the
way the offices are being filed. Figure
up the tax reductions and economies of
the present Congress. See HUBBELL'S
emiSsaries invading the Departments
with their bag and book, and their invi-
tation to stand and deliver. Hear the
Congressional Committee pirate of free
and fair elections, as it enrolls 100000
office-hOlders as canvassing agents, and
scatters its corruption fund in doubtful
districts.
What is the use Of attempting to find
out what the Republican doctrine is,
when the Republican practice isso clear?
The lightest action of that party, in dis
triet, State or nation, browns its weigh
test word. 1t breaches economy and
practices extravaganza. Itpromises re-
form in the civil service, and makes the
gathering Of spoils its chief business. 1t
talks tax reduction, and votes to keep
up the tax. Why should it not be
judged by its deeds?'
This criticism from a Republican
source strikes about as nearly the root
of the matter as We can get.
Summed up, the Republican doctrine
as exemplifed in Republican practice,
is pap, not principle. 1t goes for the
offices upon the same principle that the
father advised his son in regard to
money getting: any son get money;
get it honorably If You can-but get
money"

RELATIVE PARTY STRENGTH IN

BY reason of the Encouragement OF the
Congressional Districts, the candidates
fer Congress this Fall will, to certain
extent, be operating in new territory.
An additional district has been cut
ont of the State and, Of course all OF the
new districts include less number OF
counties and smaller voting population
than heretofore.

90 mites, however, is known, aud will
not be changed by being placed in a
new or different districts.
In order that We may start in the
campaign with fair understanding OF
the status of the respective parties, we
have taken the pains to compile from
reliable tables the figures showing the
actual voting strength of the population
ofthe First district, the relative strength
osthe two parties, and the possibilities
and probabilities thus growing out OF
the new order Of things.
The counties composing the First dis
triet at present, with the actual voting
population, are shown by the following

MAYOR GRACE, Of New York, be-
Iieves municipal administration should
be distinct from party politics. His
term expires this year, and his success
sor will be elected in November. In
terviewed about again being candi-
date, the Mayor said:
Ifevery Democrat in this city should
ask me to accept a nomination and
promise to vote for me / would not con-
sent to be a candidate. The only way
in which would be willing to continue
my work here would be as a citizens
candidate on an independent platform.
l think that the sooner municipal OIL
ces are separated from politics the bet
ter it will be for the taxpayers a. well
as laborers ofthe city. l do not wish to
accept a nomination from any party,
and thus place myself under obligations
TO that party.
There was a great deal of prejudice
against the Mayor when he took office,
but it is admitted he has been one of
the best executive officers the metropo-
lis has had for many years.
