Mr.. Montgomery Blair's death re.
m0ves snatbeF Of the notable Wen Of
the generation who was active in the
discussions whiSh preceded the late
war and in the work of carrying on
that struggle for Union and Constitu-
ton. Mr.. Blair was an anti-slavery
Democrat, and as such joined the
Republican party when that was
formed for the purpose of putting a
constitutional check to the further
spread of slavery. He was MIR. Lin
coins Postmaster General, and was
one Of the ablest and most effective
members of Cabinet composed for
the most part of men of uncommon
ability. la that Cabinet Stanton,
Chase, Blair and Wells came origin
slly from, the Demoeratia lido, sad

Of 1t. Z !" M
After the war Mr.. Blair gradually
drifted out of the Republican party,
in the company of many others, lika
Trumbull, Palmer and Lucius Robin
son, who considered that the purposes
of the limited partnership which gave
rise to the Republican party had been
fulfilled in the destruction of slavery
and the Suppression Of the rebellion
In the political events which followed
Mr. Blair took always a lively interest
without holding any conspicuous pc.
sition. He held the theory that The
Southern States are largely Whig, and
therefore properly Republican, snt
strongly desired the Democratic party
to out loose from the South, whose

to be wondered at But the carrot
flavor, when liked is valuable addi-
ton to meats, to gravies and to soups.

Raising Turkeys.


With the right breed and properly
managed, turkeys are useful on the
farm in the destruction of injurious in
seots, ornamental as 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 so they win 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 dubbed
enlightened. BY kind treatment and ia
miliar feeding MAKE them feel that
about the house and barn is their home.
Naturally they. are wild, and by bad
treatment they win hide their nests
long way from the house where the eggs
aud probably the turkeys will be
destroyed by wild Yarmints.
They always desire to hide their
nests, so for their safety and conven-
fence of the owners they shouSl 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
orally plenty of old barrels or boxes.
| Take out the heads. or at least have a
| large hole in each end so that a large
| turkey can enter. Lay them down,
end to the fence. And in the fence
have 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
| -, kn
! when first hatched Then throw brush,
old boards and some coarse straw over
the brush, making an effectual hide
for the turkeys, but leaving holes so 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
twenty inches wide and sixteen feet
square. Put the young turkeys in this,
and let the old turkey 90 in and out at
her pleasure. BY the time the young
turkeys are old and strong enough to
Jump overthis fence they will be strong
enough to stand dews and rains in the
grass. t.
But teach them to come up twice a
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 win always come near the
house TO roost for safety. The inn
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 landscapeof the farm than q. large
drove Of healthy turkeys. And they
make as good return for the good given
them as any other animal. -IoWa STATE
