Encouragement.

Thousands of drinking men, who
always have drank, drink now, and
will drink as long as they can get
whisky, real tipplers and outright
drunkards, will support Prohibition
when the issue is squarely drawn.
This was shown in the municipal
election which was held recently
in a certain KanaWha Valley town.
Many of this class of men worked
manfully for the anti-license ticket,
and, in fact, their efforts elected it.
SO the saloons in that town are
shut up for the coming year by
those whom the whisky sellers con-
sidered their patrons and friends.
These men confess that they drink,
but say they want no saloons in
any community in which they
have to live and raise their fami-
lies.
Sensiblei,7 What a rebuke
to the sober men and professed tenn
perance people who are Indifferent
spectators of the contest between
license and no-license; or,
worse, who directly aid and abet
the perpetuation of the saloon out
rage! This is encouraging, also
Much of our help in the Prohibi-
ton battle will come from these
same victims and quomdam patrons
of the liquor traffic.

Raistng TURKEYS.

With the right breed and properly
managed, turkeys are useful on the
farm in the destruction of injurious in
sects, ornamental as a bird on the prem
ises, and are highly remunerative. The
cause of failures generally is in letting
the turkeys grow instead of raising
them. They need care and attention,
and that of the right kind In the first
place they must be domesticated, rem
dered tame 50 they will not run off as
soon as human face appears. Dogs
on no account must be allowed to run or
worry them, nor should they be clubbed
or frightened By kind treatment and IA
miliar feeding axe them feel that
about the house and barn is their home.
Naturally they are wild, and by bad
treatment they will hide their nests
longway from the house where the eggs
aud probably the turkeys will be
destroyed by wild varmints.
They always desire to hide their
nests, so for their safety and eOnyen-
fence of the owners they should be given
a good opportunity for hiding some
where near the house or barn. Select
in some out of the way place where
there is board fence. There are gen

large hole in each end so that a large
turkey can enter. Lay them down,
end to the fence. And in the fence
have a sliding board to close the barrel
or box, which can be moved from the
opposite side of the fence, and the nest
reached in case of necessity to remove
eggs or to handle the young turkeys
when first Matched Then throw brush,
old boards and some coarse straw over
the brush, making an effectual hide
for the turkeys, but leaving holes 50 that
they can find the nests prepared for
them. When they find such good places
to hide, and they do not see you watch
ing them, they will use them instead of
seeking nests on distant and dangerous
parts Of the farm.
When the turkeys are Matched, they
should not be allowed to run at large,
as the old hen. wise about many things,
does not consider the danger of taking
her young brood through tall wet grass
and weeds, by which they perish with
wet and cold. In some nice grass plat
make a pen with boards eighteen or

square. Put the young turkeys in this,
and let the old turkey go in and out at
her pleasure. BY the time the young

Jump over this fence they will be strong
enough to stand dews and rains in the
grass.
But teach them to come up twice q
day to eat out of the pen. Allow no
one to brighten them, but keep them
tame and domestic in their nature, and
then they will always come near. the
house to roost for safety. The i'm
proved breeds of chickens are easily
kept tame, but all turkeys are naturally
wild, and kindness and care always pay
with them. Nothing ornaments more
the landscape of the farm than a large
drove of healthy turkeys And they
make as good return for the good given
them as any other animal.-IO10a STATE

An OminOus Wedding.

What women who are apt to be SUI
perstitiOus in what concerns their affec-
tiOns, would call an OminOus wedding,
occurred here the other day. Elaborate
preparations were made for it; the spa
cious drawing room was gaily decora-
ted, and flowers, laces and diamonds
were superintendent Several hundred
persons were invited, and when they
had assembled the bride was absent.
Rumors arose that she had. at the last
moment, withdrawn from the contract,
and the expectation of a dramatic
denouement lent new interest to
the scene. But the rumOrs proved base
less. The bride was missing because
she had been taken seriously i'll while
dressing, and her determination to com
plete her toilet resulted in a dead swoon.
A physician was immediately sum-
moned, and he declared that if She per-
ished in descending to the dressing room
he would not answer for the cOnse-
qUences. The upshot was that the GER
emory was performed, in the pres
ence of her parents, brothers and sis
tiers, her remoter relatives, her friends
and all the guests remaining be-
low. The clergyman who was to tie
the nuptial knot was prevented from
doing so by a violent attack of rheuma-
tism, and another had to be summoned.
Afterward the bridegroom went down
stairs, and for several hours received
expressions of coincidence instead of
congratulations. His position, under
the circumstances, must have been try
ing, for ii was the reverse of what he
had anticipated.
1t was more like a funeral than
wedding, which | have heard only phi
losophers pronounce the more mouTnful
of the two. The couple are reported to
be deeply and mutually in love; so they
may defy augUry.-N y. Cor. Spring
betd (MaSS.) Republican.
