admission for the leading Republican
newspaper Of the United States to make.
However, the Times undoubtedly will
notice that, after the fiscal year Of
1884, the Federal expenditures not
only can be reduced but will be reduced.
The gentlemen who at present are con-
trolling those expenditures, 1t is scarcely
necessary to remark, are making hay
while the sun shines, and intend to make
all they cantor it is their last chance.

Tx unhappy domestic troubles exist
ing for some months past between Mr..
and Mrs. Dion Boucicault, were the
cause of sincere regret to many middle
aged gentleman who still remembers the
pleasure afforded to him by the acting
of the sprightly Agnes Robertson of his
youth. Although her acting days have
passed it is, therefore, pleasing to know
that the lady has withdrawn her suit for
divorce. Mr.. Boucicault intended to
let the matter go by default rather than
consent to an open scandal in court of
law. Fortunately, the wise counsels of
friends of the discordant pair prevailing,
no such result is to be feared. Mrs. Bou.
cicault and her children sailed for Europe
recently, and, it is understood, Mr. Bou-
cicault will continue to support them,
although, at the same time, it is not
probable that husband and wife will
ever live together again.

Between Hay and Grass.

No season of the year is more trying to
sheep and cattle than that which occurs
after the snow leaves the surface of the
ground in the spring, and before the
grass makes any considerable growth.
Animals that have been confined in the
stable and yard and fed on dry food are
impatient to get into the pastures and
enjoy a taste Of green grass. There is
enough of it to tempt but not to satisfy
the appetite. They will wade through
mud and water to get the little there is,
and will often expose themselves to
rain for hours sooner than come under
cover and eat dry hay and straw. Not
unfrequently animals lose III weight and
fall of in condition during the month Of
April. Especially is this case with females
that are heavy Withyoung. 1t my be.
we'll to allow sheep and cattle to 90 into
pastures where the turf is tolerabIy firm
before there is much grass to eat, bat
those that are in an enfeebled condition
should not be exposed to rain or allowed
to sleep on the damp ground. Roots
are we'll relished at this season Of the
year, and with a supply of tnrnips the
flock master will find little difficulty in
keeping his sheep in good condition.
The Diet of hay and straw should be
varied by oil meal and grain, and every
attention paid TO the wants OF the ami
mails. M9ny animals suffer more from
dampness during the spring than they
do from cold during the winter. They
should be kept under cover during
storms, and be allowed not only dry
but a clean place to lie down.-Chicago
Times.

The Secret OF Raising Turkeys.

LIE secret Oh IIaIsluS turkeys.
One of our most successful breeders
remarks upon this point: One great Sc
cret of raising turkeys is to take care,
and take care ali summer; and even
then you cannot always raise them, for
sometimes they will not lay or they will
not hatch, or something will befall them.
Sometimes We raise turkeys withoutmuch
care, when the season is specially favor
able, but generally the measure of care
is the measure of success. A boy ten or
twelve years old, with little direction
from his father, can easily take care of
200 young turk oys, and he cannot earn
80 much money on the farm in any
other way. 1t is an Old maxim that If a
thing is worth doingit 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 (or the whole) of these slygges-
lions. 1fyou know a better course; by
all means pursue it. This painstaking
has made turkey raising about as sure as
any other branch of farm industry.
have usually kept from eight to eleven
hen turkeys for breeders, and have
raised from ninety one to 137 in sum-
mer. In 1868 sold my turkeys for
twenty-seven cents pound, and they
amounted to $180.40. In 1869 / sold for
twenty-five and twenty-seven cents a
pound gross amount of sales, $36S.lS.
That year kept an account Of expenses
and calculated the net profit at $213.5S.
In 1870 sold for twenty-five cents a
pound; amount of sales $3ll 80. In 1871
I sold for eighteen cents pound; gross
amount of sales, $2S6:l3. | would rather
raise turkeys and sell at fifteen

Early Vegetables.

DR.. t. NJ. Hexamer gives in the Amer
lean Garden this helpful hint toward
securing early vegetables: tomatoes,
peppers, egg plants, cabbage, caulihow-
er, melons. corn and almost every ki1d
of vegetables, may be STATED in pots,
and transplanted with the entire root
bali es soon as the danger of frost is over.
BY this method a gain of several weeks
is often secured, and at a tritting expense.
The pots may also be used for pot lay
erlng strawberry plants, and when once
purchased will last lifetime, Boxes
may be used for the same purpose. The
plants in those should not be placed
closer than three inches apart each way
and, to prevent the roots from interlac-
ing with each other, sharp knife is
drawn between them through the soil,
about every two weeks. Each plant may
