The Secret Of Raising Turkeys.

In0 secret Oh 1Sd1stu8 AurAoye.
A recent number of the Lancaster

One great secret of raising turkeys is to
take care, and take care all Skinner;
and even then you cannot 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
snecially faV0fab1S, but generally the
measure of care is the nieasttre of sue
cess. A boy ten or twelve years old,
With little direction from his father,
can easily take care Of 200 turkeys, and
ha cannot earn so much money on the
farm in any other way 1t is an old max.
i'm that if a thing is worth doing it is
worth doing we'll. Some may think this
constant care is too much trouble to
raise turkeys. This is free country,
and YOU can omit any part Tor the whole)
Of these suggestions. If you know q
better course, by all means pursue It.

Nutriment in Grain and Hay.

From the Western Rural.
Corn is fat producing food. Its fat
giving elements predominant so largely
that it Is not fitted for constant feeding,
except to lay On fat at the cost Of suffer-
ing loss to the general system. It is
hardly worth while to take it into con-
sideration as nutritious food and it is
wholly unfit to feed exclusively or in
any great quantity to colts. It is in no
sense what the developing system of a
young animal needs. The value of a
food for this class of animals and for an
imals that are heavily worked is in the
protein they contain, and common corn
contains only from 8 to IA per cent. OF
that. In thousand pounds; therefore
corn may be fairly considered as
possessing hundred pounds

ements as being useless, but they are SO
subordinate to the one named in point
of nutrition that, in noticing subject
not worth Willie To attempt TO consider
their value. Oats will average larger In
portion than corn will, and are pre-
eminently nutritious food, az every one
ofkexperience knows. They vary very
much in the proportions of their ele-
ments, but an average lot of oats is
worth double for feed for horses and
colts that corn is, and that is stating it
quite mildly. Timothy averages about 6
per cent, OF ,portein. but it is valuable
also as furnishing bulk, the value of
which cannot be ACCURATELY estimated.

Fashion Not ee.

The London Court Journal says:
'There is to be an entirely new style Of
beauty. The girls with the ru,ldy locks
or the golden hair and tho Saxon skin,
that have held their sway so long, will
have to abdicate their throne to their
dar k haired sisters. So fashion has de-
thing the result is as unalterable as d
general election. To be in the fashion
To-day you must have dark bair, dark
blue eyes, not a particle Or color and the
lips as rel as the cherry, These rather
varied requirements are to be met-with
art"
One of the earliest of this seasons
seashore bathers to fell under careful
observation wore garment of loosely
woven but rather thick blue flannel,
dark navy blue with very short sleeves,
that fitted the arm closely, and loose
collsr that showed her brown throat.
From her neck to just below the knee it
was one garment. Over this she wore
skirt of the same material, the belt of
which was broad piece of blue webbing
fastening with strong buckle. "Mod:
efate pressure on the waist does not in
says, land If the belt ,sho,i Id happen to
give out, She coGld easily kick of the skirt
and co me to shallow water, where d
cloak could be given to her in Which
she could walk to her bathing house.
She was barefooted, and wa one Of the
comparatively: few girls who haven't
cornslthat render their feet Unfit for pub
lication."
Travelling bonnets are made of dark
rough and ready straw, and fashion
iqnaPle trimming is silk handkerchief
Of differed ut colors; one or more which
correspond with the prevailing tone Of
the dress. Large bows are made up of
the handkerchief and keptin position in
front of the bonnet with an ornamental
buckle. Strings about two inches wide,
of ribbon to match the dress, are worn,
and recently an inner i'uching of white
tulle or net seems to presage the return
to favor of the old-fashioned cap-front.
The addition of this white finish is very
becoming to some faces, and likely to
gain favor. Modified pokcs are much
worn, and many of them, too, have ruch-
ings of lace filling the pointed poke. A
novelty in bonnets is the deeply-turned-
oack or rolled. over brim, surmounted
The btim being lined with velvet OF
cidseiy-shirred silk. A snowy French
hat; for young girl, is of very soft straw,
with high crown and brim, turned up
at one side. The trimming consists OF
band of broad velvet ribbon passing
through buckle at one side, while on
tho other side a dropping plume is kept
in position by bunch of pompons and
an ornament in oxidized silver.

Turkish Wives.

A Mussulman is allowed by the Koran
to have fouf wives, though many have
ab many as they can keep in comfort.
The first wife is called the hanun, and
takes precedence over the others all her
life. She has right 10 the best rooms
and to fixed share other husbands in
come, which he must not reduce to min
lister to the caprice Of his younger
spouses. As these points have generally
been settled through the imans before
the. Wedding, Danun's jolnture IS sate
as that of a French woman who has hal
contract drawn up by notary. She
visits and entertains the hanuns of other
gentlemen, but keeps aloof from wives
of the second and other degrees. These
are not equal in her sight, being gen.
orally ladies ofa lower social status, who
husband. Time was when pasha would
take four wives Of equal degree, all be-
ing daughters OF other pashas or Of the
Sultan, and all richly portioned; but
manners have altered in this respect
at all events, in the European part Of
Turkey. The Turkish wife is not slave.
The chief fault to find with her is that
she has to lofty E. sense of her own dig
nifty. An advocate of female rights
would have some difficulty in pursllad-
ing her that her lot was pitiable; she
has never envied the emancipation
of Christian women. whose
free ways shock her, while she has
noticed that they got much less respect
from the men Of their faith than that
which is invariably vouchasfed to
serself. She walls her face with no more
regret than weste. II lady unveils her
shoulders. Turkish women are not shut
up. They 60 out when they please. If
a husband meets his wife in the street
he makes NO sign of recognition. If he
perceives her hating before Diapers
stall and gazing at, silks dearer than he
can afford, he must possess his soul in
resignation, .muttering mash Allah
This respect for women prevails also in
the home circle, and it comes naturally
to the Mussulman, who las been taught
from his boyhood to behave courteously
affectedly modest. Z hose Of the lower
class who are engaged as servants in the
houses of Frank residents are much
preferred to Greeks or Armenians for
their excellent behavior, cleanliness and
regard for truth. Looking upon mar
riage as their natural destiny, they are
careful of their regulations, and when
married make frst-rate housewives. No
doubt g. tourist who compared
Turkey of to-day with
that twenty-five years ago
would find some departures from the
strict womanly reserve which used to be
the universal neutrality-suspicious.

most ecohomical macAinE to tiandfac

pounds Of corn on the ,avktaee to make
a pound OF pork; as is no doubt the case,
the farmer begins to see the economy OF
exporting one pound Of pork, BACON or
"a ham. instead of seven pounds Of corn.
The difference in cost OF freight makes
hne profit of itself; be-
sloes, the pound of meat is usually
worth more than seven pound of corn in
the foreign market. The production of
pork should be encouraged on the
1ur1her consideration that it carries less
OF the valuable constituent Of the Soil
than beef. The fat pig contains only
three-tourths as much mineral matter

therefore the production of pork on the
farm Will carry of only little more
than half the fertility carried off by q

comparative effect Of producing pork
and beef. It is thus evident that the
pig should have high place iii our agri.

predicting animal on the farm. The pig
is an excellent adjunct to the dairy,
