A New Tunnel Under Lake Michigan.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE new lake tunnel
of the Hyde Park Water Works is nearly
finished. 1t will be exactly 5000 feet in
length and 4,750 feet are now completed.
Not single accident has occurred in which
life or limb was endangered, although
a "pocket" of sand and water
caused temporary cessation Of
the work and change in the
course of the tunnel. Electric lights, q

patent blowers have made the work rapid
and easy. 1t is expected that the tuanel
will be done by August l5 The contract

The one thing that mas paid the past year
is turkeys They had a quick sale at Thanks
giving for 20 cents pound and at Christmas
for p to % cents, and the farmers could have
had % cents at the last season if they had
known as much about the market three days
before Christmas, as they did three days after
And this price is not exceptional. The aver
age for good New England turkeys for the
last twenty years, ! believe will exceed is
cents pound if it does not reach 20 cents
If a farmer has reasonable luck that is.
If he has as good luck as generally comes Of
intelligent care he can make 100 pounds of
turkey meat for 500, easy, and sell the same
for $500, or putting it better flock Of 100
turkeys will not cost him in grain fed out
over SO, if they are killed before ThRnksgiv-
ing, and they ought to average J. pounds
each, which will make 1900 pounds in all. and
TO sell for 20 cents a pound or S24O I have
raised turkeys for many years, most years
with success, and whatever the success they
have always been the best paying production
of the farm.
This is my plan Keep over ten hens and
a tom the hens, the best birds in the fall
iock part old and part young. Old hens Of
good habits are to be preferred Feed lightly
all winter. About March /, increase the feed
and provide places for their nests, near the
house. When they begin to lay, be careful
that the eggs DO not get chilled DO all you
can to get your turkeys to setting as early as
possible. Early turkeys are twice as likely
to live as late ones. When the Young come
of, put them in little board pens in warm
place for a week or more, feeding them six or
eight times day with coarse meal and ohopp-
ed hRrd-boiled eggs, mixed with water, or
what is better, sour milk As soon as they
are strong enough give them pasture range
at first, then turn them into a meadow, but
by all means feed them at noon, and to this end
drive them up TO the house This will get
them accustomed to coming up for their din
ner, and SO they will not 60 far away from
home. See that they are always fully fed and
safely housed at night, so that foxes and
skunks will not and cannot destroy them.
Make 1t q matter of thought TO see that your
turkeys are safe all summer Begin to fatten
in September, and kill for Thanksgiving, and
! you will be able to put a few dollars in some
near savings bank which you may honestly
call pay for your care and work, and profit in

many Of the best farmers though it may not
be applicable to market gardens or to special
crops grown where land is high-priced. II
corn is planted late or If the land Is wet and
cold when it is put in, the use Of artificial
manures in the hill Is recommended. not only
for the purpose Of increasing the crop but
TO force it more rapidly and thus get il out

Peas should be sown about once q week
throughout this month, that they may follow
in succession as they are wanted Having
commenced with the earlier dwarf varieties.
about the first Of this month it Is well TO
plant the last row Of them and another Of the
taller growing varieties which require more
time for growth, and which, being sown at
the same time will be ready about as the
others are gone. As a second early, the Gar
actacus, Advance and American Wonder all
take rank as being Of good quality and yield
ing well. and all have been well tested and
approved both for family and market-garden
use All Of them do well without bushing,
though the two first named grow about q
feet high upon rich soil and do better when
allowed sticks to run upon. The Champion
Of England has probably more friends than
any other OF the tall, high growing varieties.
As it grows nearly six feet high, it requires
bushing but Its extra qualities for eating
and being very prolific make it worth while
TO take some extra trouble In its cultivation.
Remember that as the season advances, and
the ground grows dry and warm, the seed
should be covered more deeply to prevent its
being injured by drought 1t is "a good plan
to put the seed in O furrow which is not filled
quite full at first but which will be filed as
the peas are hoed. Thus the advantages Of
having the seed sprout quickly and yet being
deep rooted may be combined
Corn to be used green should also be plant
ed at intervals Of about week IN order to
have it fit for eating during the season. Little
is gained by getting 1t in very early but IL
ordinary seasons the ground If tit for garden
use, should be ready for planting early il
May Marblehead Early has "a reputation for
being the earliest good corn and the best ear
ly corn. There are several other varieties of
good reputation for productiveness or for ex-
ira quality at the table. but it is better for
the farmer to confne himself to one or two
sorts unless he wishes to test new varieties.
AS there Is tendency for garden corn to mix
with field corn, even when planted a quarter
Of mile away, it will be better to buy new
seed whenever there is any reason to suspect
a mixture to have taken place, as "a cross with

In a sermon preached April 9th, Rev,
Minot j. Savage OF Boston made plea for
working women, and his suggestions ought
to result in something more than mere intel
lectual assent In every considerable centre
Of population he would have schools for the
industrial training Of young women, fitting
them to become skilled workers. Such schools
would open O thousand new employments
and by raising the grade of work would raise
wages. Numerous as are the temptations be
setting young men. unmarried women, de-
pendent on their own e1ertious for living,
are exposed to more and worse ones if op-
portunities for earning fair wages in respec-
table employments are lacking There are
too many workers who can do no one thing
well and life is therefore q hard struggle.
Fortunately the demand for tue industrial
training Mr.. Savage invokes is being met to
some extent in few Of the larger cities, and
the work of extending it cannot 60 on too
