LONDON, June l9.-Great crowds Of
people throng all the streets in the neigh
borhood of the parliament house; the out
porting of the people to-day is greater by
far than at any time since the beginning
of the present crisis in public affairs. The
police have great difficulty in keeping the
entrances to the houses Of parliament
clear.
The Liberal leaders have not yet given
to the Conservatives any pledge of assist
ance in the conduct of the government.
The privy council was not held to-day at
Windsor castle for the formal transfer of
the ministry, hence the Liberals will re-
tain their old benches when parliament
meets this afternoon.

Bronze Turkey.

The Bronze Is the king of turkeys.
In short they are noted for their great
size and rich, cbangeable bronze col
ors. They are always beautiful; are
pretty good foragers, and cost but
little to raise them where grasshoppers
and insects are plenty. They are No.
layers, hardy. and easy to raise; they
make very rapid growth, and if the
winter is not too hard. or does not set
IN too early, young gobblers will weigh
twenty-five pounds at abpu six months
of age and hens thirteen to fifteen
pounds. Turkeys, unlike chickens,
grow all winter, and make weight for
the seed they consume. The Bronze
do not get their growth till they are
about three years old. At maturity
hens weigh from fifteen to twenty
pounds, and goblers from thirty to forty
pounds each.
In most sect ons turkeys are very
profitable, and no doubt the weight
can be made from the same feed and
trouble tina, is given to the rearing OF
small common turkeys. 1t pays to keep
the best blooded stock, if we get much
larger returns for our outlay. We give
it as a fact, which many persons do not
understand, that turkeys shrink from
three to nine pounds in Shipping, and
being nervous they eat but little, and
the journey worries them. They soon
recover, however. Customers are APP
to weigh them on receipt, and many
a seller gets curslug for sending
lighter weights than he represented,
when it was owing to the shrinkage O
the birds. They should not be weigh
ed under three or four weeks of gooc
keeping after their arrival on new
place. Shrinking happens the SAME
with other fowls, too.

This malady is classed among con-
tagious diseases. It is peculiar to
young cattle kept in high condition. 1t

the very beginning ofthe disease, bleed
ing is sometimes found beneficial; but
when done in the advanced stage, or
twelve hours after the beginning, it
will be apt to hasten death. Prugative
medicine should be given at once: sucn
as an ounce each of common soda and
Barbados aloes, dissolved in half a
pint of hot water; to which add an
ounce Of oil of turpentlne, and pound
of Glauber's salt dissolved IN a half

for cattle over year and a half old;
half this quantity to cattle nine-months
to year and half old. and one third
of the dose to younger ones. Give fire.

Kansas Letter.

Ed. GRAPHIc-DEAR Sir: As ! am in
the far west, and a former Kirksyilllan
| will endeavor 10 write a short
sketch of the beautiful country known
as Comanche county, Kansas, which
may be of interest to those of your
readers that are meditating over the
subject of going west. At first | will
say that our county was just organiz-
ed this spring, and we held our first
county election the 21st ofApril, 1885,
and elected our county officers and also
settled all county seat quarrels by vot-
ing orr permanent. county seat, to be
located at the fast improving town
Coldwater. | will give limited de-
scriptlon of this beautiful town and
the country, Just as beautiful, sur
rounding it. The town Is located near
the center of the county on a nicely ele-
yated.plot of land, to the southwest and
west one continuous valley, extending
clear to the southwest part Of the coun-
ty, while 10 the north and east of 1t
the land is high rolling prairie, ex ten
ding for miles each way. The town
contains about 225 buildings, among
which, are two hotels, seven grocery
and dry goods stores, three hardware
stores, four drug stores, one bank, one
school house and several other business
houses. This town was located by an
enterprising town company, June 1st
1884, and now it is town of unexpect-
ed size to those travelling; and Is tar
superior to any town of its age in the
west. We will not attempt to give a
very minute description of al towns
in the county, but will speak of one

Value OF an Egg.

Every one is familiar with the value
OF the yolk of an egg as hair wash,
but perhaps may not be aware OF its
virtue in clothing cleaning. Beaten
up with alcohol, eau de cologne, or
ether, like OK gall, it keeps better and
is more powerful; or in simple cases, 1t
may be used alone, or merely mixed
with water 10 be rubbed on with flannel,
for removing from colorei materials
the stains of mud, or of coffee and
chocolate, when prepared with milk.
1t Is frequently applied to velvet col
lars and cuffs, ect., and proves a clean
er as well as spot extractor. When II
has done its work it is washed off with
soap. and the material thoroughly rim
sed in pure water. Egg has a specially
good effect on those annoying patches
of wheel grease belonging to the COM
pound class of satins, as they repre-
sent a mixtnre OF stale grease, iron and
other substances.

Care of HerSeS' Feel.

Horses in civilized lands suffer more
from ailments OF the feet than from any
other cause. The feet of a horse are
subject to many injuries, both from
bad shoeing and from ill-kept roads,
and it is important for owners of horses,
to study well how these causes OF
diseased feet can be avoided. But in
the consideration of this question there
are some points not veil understood.
The London Stock-keeper" gives a
statement that a horse weighing
sixteen hundred pounds, when drawing
load, bears a weight upon the feet of
two tons. the extra pressure being
caused by the downward force of the
act of drawing, Now, an average
horses draf-power amounts to 81
pounds As the horse Is only exerting
this forward force by pressure upon the
collar it is clear, the feet cannot press
with any more force upon the ground
SO that the above explanation of the
canse of injury to the horses foot, Is
imaginary. 1t is not the force exerted
by work at all. A wild horse, galloping
at the top Of his speed, presses upon
the ground with his feet more than a
horse moving a ton IN wagon upon
the road at the rate OF two miles an
hour; and yet wild horses have excell-
ent feet and are never lame. But they
have a choice Of a smooth path, and
have no blacksmiths to cut away the
frogs OF their feet, and SO deprive them
of the vesy means nature provides pro-
lection of the foot. II the roads were
kept In good condition aud free from
loose stones, and the frog OF the foot
were never pared. horses would rarely
suffer from foot-lameness. Frog-press-
ufe expands the heels, toughens the
horns, cures corns, and does much
toward giveing horse sound feet

Home and Farm,
waste Ia Farn WtchInery.

We have no feeling whatever against
machinery agents they are goodparous
but we will feel better after speak
ng our piece, We asked an intelligent
and deserving farmer from the Boyer
how the folks were getting along. He
replied that they were all right except
for machinery Then he told of several
cases of farmers who had become
involved. and had lost their property,
been sold out by the sheriff, the main
cause being that they had bought too
much machinery. He himself had tax
en- some corn from neighbor at Is
cents, to enable him to raise money to
pay machine note. We have closely
observed it for fifteen years, and we
verify believe that there has been more
money lost in Sac county by unnec-ss-
airy machinery than in any other way.
We do not refer to p.ows, drags,
cultivators, and other Ike implements.
They are an absolute necessity, and
their cost is but light. Yet we would
ike to ask our readers if any of them
have the Cahlll riding pillow attachment
that was sold SO extensively in this
county some two years ago. II any
have them, will they please report?
We cannot imagine why any farmer
IN Sac countv-beyond perhaps twenty
four-should raise enough wheat TO
require a seli-binder, which cuts IS
acres per day. How many bushels OF
wheat has it taken to pay for binder,
at any time in the past five years?
How many self-blnders have paid for
themselves before they were worn out2
This is fast age, it is true, and in
some respects ii is entirely too fast.
There are many fine machines made
that would be very nice IN our Office.
If we were able to get them We would
probably use them once month. The
use of them would about pay the
interest On the purchase money
Suppose our Office were stacked with
them, how long would it be before
we would be closed by the Sheriff? L:
it not true that farmer often buys ar
expensive machine from a desire tc
appear as well as his neighbor? Why
not stop this, and go back, if need be
to the cradle of forty years ago? Which
is the profitable machine for the farm
er, the cradle or the sei-binder?
Now, We don't suppose our remark
sill stop the sale of one of tbes
machines. Rnt we would ike to see tn
the people follow more closely some Q
the customs which made Our father
happy and. contented, and kept tn

industrious hand Of the husbandman
and the same country IS being made
into beautiful fields and rich gardens;
and civilization is not only spreading
around and throug hout Comanche Co.
but the entire west. The land which
a few months ago was lying open for
settlement, will in few years lie
worth from thirty to seven y-f7e dol
lars per acre. We can refer you back
to the past years of 1871 and u whea
the counties Of Cowley AMI Sumner
was settled up and to the years OF ~
and 70, when Harper county was set
tied and only distant from Us 50
to no miles and they are asking that
for their land in those counties, and
it is changing hands at the enor-
nous fig ures Of from $4,000 to $4,000
per quarter section. Men who went
there with little means and took up
claims, now have farms beautiful to
behold. And why should not those who
come to this county and endure the
hardshlps Of frontier life, be re-
warded in the same measure. Ny adj
vice to those who want to seek fine a
country, progressive one, IS to visit
this part of sunny Kansas. Il was not
all sunshine during the past winter,
for several days the bleak winds howl
ed around the little OLD shaaties on the
claims and seemed to say to the occu-
pants within, there are better days
coming, not far distant. Twill not at
tempt to give a description OF the sod
shantles and dug outs that are so COM
mon here, for it is the writers luck to
have to live in one, but they are only
temporarily constructed places of
abode until time to build more sub
stantial and beUter dwellings. I came
here from Cowley county, last Noyem-
Der, and located on a claim seven miles
down the valley from Protection. Ny
claim is on the west side of the San
5anta river, and three quarters of a
mile from It's banks. At the tune
when selected my claim there were
thousands of acres lying around, and
near me, vacant, and a greater part of
it was the choicest land; but within
the past two and half months the
emigrants have been pouring in here
by the hundreds and thousands until at
the present time there is no more va
cant land N this part Of the country.
l hope | shall ever praise the day and
idea, that over ruled all others, and
started me west. think I shall make
this my future home. As have CON
tinued my letter to great Iegth aad
may want TO wliteagain, will close for
this time, Respectfully,

Poultry Department.
Prepare Tor the Matching Season.

The timeis now approaching for
the interested poultryman and the thrift
ty farmer who think. and rightly, that
fowls properly managed, are good
p aging stock on the farm, TO make
preparation for the annual setting of
eggs and Matching of chickens. 1t will
not be well for those having no warm
place for the young chick ems, to at
tempt Matching before the last OF
March or the first Of April. PulIets
coming out at this time lay in October,
and with good care, will continue to
Law all winter, when eggs are scarce
and high, and cockerels will bring more
for boilers at three months than when
raised later and kept much longer.
Keep watch OF your flock, SO the differ
ence in thlir disposition can be noted.
Use only those hens for settlers that are
quiet and aot inclined to be nervous,
for they will invariably make surer
hatchers and better mothers. n hen
that is uneasy and wants to be off her
nest frequently during incubation, es-
pecially IT. the cold weather of spring,
should not be depended on. Provide
the hens with large, aattish nest, and
place whole corn and fresh water each
day near them. II is most necessary to
keep the nest and the body of thu fowl
free from vermin, for ii they are not,
they will not sit quietly, and the labor
and the eggs will be lost. 1t cannot be
expected that success will follow attemps
at Matching and raising chickens, un-
less the hens have been kept IN clean
and thrifty condition all winter. Filth
causes weakness and breeds disease,
and the product, if any, of slovenly
kept flock of fowls, will always be
weak and Improbable in the extreme.
