Point About Raising Turkeys.

The one thing tina. has paid the past
year is turkeys. They had quick sale at
Thanksgiving for . cents pound, and
at Christmas for II to % cents, and the
farmers could have had 25 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 except onal.
The aver ge for good New England
turkeys for the last twenty years, 1 be-
lieve, will exceed Is cents pound, if it
does not reach 20 cents.
Ii farmer has reasonable "luck"-
that Is, if he has as good luck as gener-
ally comes of intelligent care-he can
make l,C0) pounds of turkey meat for
800 easy, and sell the same for
5000, or, putting it better: A flock of
100 turkeys wi not cost him in grn n
feed out, over S75, if they are killed
before Thanksgiving, and they ought
to average twelve pounds each, viii h
makes ] 200 pounds in all. and to sell
for 20 cents Lound, or $240. | have
raised turkeys for many years, most
years with fair success, and, whatever
the SUI cess, they have always Eeen the
best paying production of the Earm.
This is my plan: Keep over ten hens
and tom; the hens the best birds in the
fall flock; part old and part young.
Old hens of good habits are to be pre-
ferrcd. 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. TO all
you can to get your turkeys to setting as
early as possible. Early turkeys are
twice as kelly to live as late ones.
When the young come off 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
chopped hard 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 tn I'm into a meadow, but by all
means iced them at noon, and TO this
end drive them up to the hou e. This
VIII get them accustomed to coming up
for their dinner. and so they will not
go far away from home. See that they
are always fed and safely housed at
night, so that foxes and skunks will
not and can not destroy them. Make
it 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
10 put a few dollars in some near
savings bank which you may honestly
call pay for your care and work and
profit in the grain feed. This tus ness
can not be overdone, and advise farm
ers to put few dollars into turkeys for
next season (if they can find them) at
once.-F'drnl and Home.

Mine Ventilation.

The connection between the north and
south drifts on the 3, 100 level of the
Union CONSOLIDATED mine has now been
thoroughly orened. About week will
now be required in which to grade down
the north end of the drift, put down the
| car track, and the like. This connec-
ton completes fine large air gallery,
running through the leading north end
mines at the great depth of BOO feet.
1t also commands all the water in the
ground above. From it supplies of air
may be lie Il to all points on the levels
above where work is going on. The
current of air rushes through the gal
lery at the rate of $50 feet per minute,
or seven and half miles an hour. The
volume of fresh surfce air thus intro
duced upon the 3,l00-level amounts to
10000 cubic feet per minute. When
we consider that 800 cubic feet of air is
sufficient for one man for twenty-four
hours-that every minute enough air
passes into the mine to last forty men
twenty-four hours we begin to see the
great value of this natural circulation
of air as compared with that which can
be forced down into the mines by
means of blowers. Each candle in a
mine consumes about the same amount
OF air "a is required for man, bat with
a supply of 10000 cubic feet at COM
mand at the lowest point in the north
end mines, it will be seen that many
men may be worked and much pros
pecting economically done. Such a
great volume of air will soon sweep out
all the foul gases and hea.ed air that
have heretofore given trouble in the
lower levels. The rapid motion of the
air makes it an easy matter to turn it
and carry it to points on the 5000 1900,
or any of the levels above where it may
be required. The current of air in this
deep gallery moves more rapidly than
does the air in any of the galleries
above. The deeper the point at which
such connections are made the more
rapid the circulation of the air.-Er.

"A Milledgev:ne CTenn.0 merchant

"A Milledgev;lle (Tenn.) merchant
suspected one of his clerks of pilfering
from the cash drawer. In order to
make sure of it he marked number of
coin piel es and posted other merchants
where young Adams dealt to watch for
them. His suspi ions were fully con-
tirmed, and he determined to dismiss
the thief and say nothing about it. One
morning he was surprised to receive a
cha lenge from Adams to fight a duel.
The second explained that his principal
lad discovered marked coins in the

replied that he had found similar
marked coins in sundry places where
they reflected much stronger on his
character. The affair was settled with
