Tho secret Of Raising Turkeys.

A recent number of the Lancaster
FdT1ner says: One of our most success
full breeders remarks upon this point,
One great secret Of raising turkeys is to
take care, and take care all summer;
and even then you can not raise them,
for sometimes they will not lay, or they
will not hatch, or something will befall
them. Sometimes we raise turkeys
without much care, when the season is
especially favorable, but generally the
measure of care Is the measure of sue
cess, A boy ten or twelve years old,
with little direction from his father,
can easily take care of 200 turkeys, and
he can not earn so much money on the
farm in any other way. II is an old
maxim that II q thing is worth doing it
is Worth doing we'll. Some may think
this constant care is too much trouble
toraise turkeys. This is free coun-
try, and you can omit any part Cor the
whole) of these suggestions. If you
know better course, by all means
pursue it. This painstaking has made
trrkey-raising about us sure as any 9TH
er branch Of farm industry. l have
usually kept from eight to ten turkeys
for breeders, and have raised from
ninety-nine to one hundred in sum-
mer. In 1860 sold my turkeys for ~
cents q pound; they amounted 10
$280.40, In 1869 sold for rs to "a
cents per pound; gross amount of sales,
$SS6.l4. That year kept an account of
expenses and calculated the net profit
al. $2l3,58. In 1870 1 sold for 20 cents
q pound; amount of sales, $311:S2. In
1871 l sold for 18 cents pound; gross
amount of sales, 1926. Is. I would
rather raise turkeys and sell at Is cents
a pound than to false pork and sell at
10 cents a pound. Perhaps in fat
tening pork you can save the manure
better, but the turkey droppings, if
gathered and saved every week and
kept dry, are worth half as much as
guano, and are certainly worth cent
pound.
The turkey crop is steadily increasing
In value, not more by the increased
number of farmers who make this a
speciality in their poultry-raising than
by the increased attention and skill of
those who have long been in the bust
ness. Care in selecting stock for breed
ing brings ample rewards. The pros
pect was never better than now for the
extension of the business among the
farmers who have good range and
good markets. The average size OF
turkeys in the districts where the bust.
ness is made q speciality is steadily in
creasing, and we look for still further

The Rural NeU Yorker says toma-
toes raised in poorish light soil will
ripen ten days earlier than those raised
in rich soil. We know this from the
actual test during the past season. If
large, snowy tomatoes are wanted, re-
CARELESS of flavor or time of ripening,
then the rich soil and the rank growth
are needed. Cutting off all but one or
two fruits Of the clusters while they are
small and green will also cause those
remaining to grow to larger size.
Says lady writing to the Country
Genttgman; Few housekeepers prop
erly estimate the value of providing
covers for pillows in common use,
thinking If the cases are changed each
week the pillows are properly pro-
tected This is real mistake, as any
one can see by putting a white cover
underneath the case and noticing how
soon it becomes soiled. Old pillow
cases can be used, by tearing off the
buttons and putting buttonholes in the

Poached Eggs and Toast: Pour
some boiling water into frying pan;
then break the egg into saucer very
carefully, and slide it off into the hot
water. The water must not be boiling
hard, or the eggs would fly in pieces.
The water must be boiling hot to begin
with, but afterwards merely simmer
until the white is cooked so that no
limpid part remains; then the yolk will
be sufficiently done. Toast and butter
some evenly-cut slices of bread, and
lay them on q plate; then with skim
mer carefully lift out the eggs, and
place one on each piece of toast

All accounts affirm that Robin Hood
lived to very old age, and at last died
by treachery. He had q cousin, who
was the prioress Of a nnnnery called
Kirklees, and when he was aged and in
firm, and suffering from an attack of
disease, he went to her to be bled.
Robin was very sick when be reached
the gate Of the nunnery, where he was
met by his cousin. Little thinking of
treachery, he suffered her to conduct
him 70 room and open vein in his
arm. There he WAS left bleeding. The
door of the room was locked, and the
window was too high above ground to.
admit Of jumping out. He remained in
this state till the next day at noon,
when he thoughtt0 blow a blast on bis

about, waiting TO soc his beloved master.
When he heard the mournful blast. he
sprang UP and hurried to the nunnery.
he broke locks and dashed open doors
until he reached the room where Robin
lay dying. He fell on his knees, and
begged to be allowed to burn Kirklees

Some worthy historians have doubted
whether such man as Robin Hood |
ever lived, and have classed the stories
OF his exploits among the myths Of tho
past. Il Is hardly probable, however,
that this is the correct theory. The
safer and more reasonable conclusion
would seem to be that Robin Hood
