chicks get on. A good sign is to see
the young turkeys catching flies. In
order to get fresh, untaInted ground 1t
IS good plan to hurdle off part of the
field new lea, if handy-for the
coops, and the grass should be kept
mown closely to the ground.
Turkeys will take to any young tur-
keys, whether Matched by themselves
or not; so when our young birds get
fairly strong we generally transfer those
hatched under hens to the turkeys.
One has to be careful that the chicks
do not perch on the rails of the hur-
dies or the tops OF the coops; crooked
breasts will be the inevitable result.
They Should be induced to sit on the
ground as long as possible, and then
taught to perch on low bushes and
trees, and until they are shut up for
fattening they are better never to have
entered the fowl house. Having reach
ed the age of two or three months,
June has arrived, and the birds are
perfectly hardy, requiring little care,
but generous feeding. A more eco.
nomical food is now desirable, and
barley meal, with perhaps little scrap
cake. maize, barley and small wheat
is the usual food.
Turkeys for Christmas should be
shut up in light, dry roomy house
the first weei in November troughs
with as much maize and good barley
as they can eat should be always by
them, with two good meals day of
just as much barley meal mixed with
fat milk as they can eat, with milk to
drink. Sliced mangel, turnips, swedes
and cabbage are useful and necessary,
and plenty Of sand, lime. ashes and
brick dust should be in the corners of
their house. Let the troughs be we'll
cleaned every morning, all surplus
food removed; on farm there are
plenty of other fowls glad to clean up
after turkeys.
In conclusion, let me strongly adj
wise never to mate birds of their own
breeding with one another Every
year purchase new bird for stock un-
less the old bird is retained and hens
OF his breeding are not used. There
is no economy in buying a cheap bird;
little extra expense about the gobbler
will probably give three or four pounds
weight in each young bird next year.-

Breeding and Feeding of Turkeys.

Mr.. R. B. Sapernell, writing in a
recent English publication on The
breeding and feeding of turkeys, saws
considerable difference of opinion
exists as to the best age for the stock
birds. Undoubtedly two or three
year old gobbler, and hens from two
to four years old, would give the
strongest and best stock: but l find
the disadvantages arising from keeping
old birds so great that l almost always
ta,ten my stock birds and bring up
young birds for the next season, saving
only special favorites for a second
year. The advantages, 1 believe,
gained from using young birds are
that the eggs prod ce larger number
of gobblers than from older birds. and
these are much more valuable than
hens, and l find that young hens COM
mence TO lay fortnight before older
birds. The young gobblers are not so
savage as the older ones, and fewer
hens are injured and killed by them.
Hen turkeys generally lay about
twenty eggs. 1t is a good plan to set
the eggs first under hens, giving the
turkeys about fifteen of their own eggs
to sit upon. 1t is an unwise as we'll as
cruel plan to set all the turkeys egg
under hens and make her lay all the
season. Late hatched turkeys never
thrive as the early birds do, and they
never grow to a size to realize a profit

lost to her own offspring, for turkeys
rear their own young much better than
hens do; and it almost invariably hap.
pens that turkey becomes so debili-
tated BY laying all the spring that she

The time when turkeys require the
greatest care IS until they are six weeks
old, when the young cocks begin to
show little red on their heads Dry
ness is of the first importance. Large,
roomy coops with covered runs are
desirable, that the young bird be not
allowed TO roam about IN wet weather,

Alice was happy, supremacy happy
and did all in her power to increase
the Happiness of the man who had
honored her with lis name, heart,
hand and home.
Uncle Owen took her at once into
the best society the county and VII
lage afforded. The next Sabbath after
the marriage, the Redgraye carriage
was seen at the village church and
Uncle Owen and his new wife were IN
their pew. The local gossips nodded
their heads knowingly, and all eyes
we're fastened on the bride.
That she was pretty no one seemed
to doubt. There was an expression OF
ineffable sweetness in her manner and
Uncle Owen seemed very proud Of
her. Quite a little knot Of ladies
gathered round, to be introduced as
soon as the sevices were over. Uncle
Owen took the greatest pleasure IN
presenting to his former friends his
beautiful bride,
Mrs. Redgrave was not the '1east
stuck up at her grand CATCH" the
ladies declared, and was charming to
| all.

Redgrave," said friend and planter.
Three or four weeks sped rapidly
and Mrs. Redgrave became one Of the
most popular ladies of Burlington
society.
Her life was like happy dream.
One day she wanted to do some
small shopping at the village, and her
husband being away concluded she
would walk, as the village was moi
more than a mile distant, and the
smooth turnpike led to it.
She was belated at the stores and
the sun was down before she started
to return. On her way up the great
hill which was a gradual slope to hel
beautiful home she fell to thinking o.
the past,-that dark past which she
fain would bury beneath the turbid
waters of the mighty river.
"Oh if he should rise before me now
to dash aside my cup of happiness

Although it was night the moor
shone brightly ILLUMINATING the broae

seemed to disappear behind the grea

1t is almost needless to say which
was her choice. Alice as we shall still
continue to call her, Notwithstanding
she has intimated it is not her real
name, was but a woman. Twill never

former self lies buried in the Missis-
sippi, even if l were traced to Memphis
and aboard the Silverwing."
She sat down between alternating
players and sobs. Notwithstanding
the ease with which she had decided
the matter and tired to reason herself
into perfect security, there was a
gnawing dread at her heart, and a
sense of guilt on her soul. Could she
honorably accept this good man
whom she loved, and who loved her
without telling him all. But the
though of telling him all made her still
more selfish. He would reject her
perhaps if he knew her sad history
He might discover a legal impedi
ment to their marriage, and she would
lose him.
How often this selfish fear leads rs
into a vortex of misery, doubt and
ruin.
1t would be impossible to tell how
Alice Harcourt passed the next few
DAYS. She was not brave enough to
tell all and leave forever the man she
loved. She seemed dazed and con-
fused, and to say and do unaccount-
able things like one in dream.
Uncle Owen was silent reserved. and
and John and Edward be-
came more and more insulting. Their
shameful insinuations fell harmlessly on
the air. for poor Alice seemed to exist
in another sphere. Uncle Owen
noticed her manner and one evening
finding her alone in the sitting room,
he said:

me to call you by that title, ! cannot
