ints About Raising Turkeys.
Farm and Home

Correspondent Farm and Home.
The one thing that has pald the past
year is turkeys. They had quick sale
at Thanksgiving for 20 cents a pound,
and at Christmas for 81 to % cents,
and the farmers could have had 25 cents, j.,
at the last season if they had known as
much about the market three days be-
fore Christmas as they did three days
after. And this price is not exception
al. The average for good New England
turkeys for the last twenty years, be-
lieve, will exceed Is cents pound, if
it does not reach 20 cents.
If farmer has reasonable "luck"
that is, if he has as good luck as generally
comes of Intelligent carc---be can make
1000 pounds Of turkey meat for 500
easy, and sell the same for 5000, or,
putting it better; A flock Of 100
turkeys will not cost him grain ted out,
over $75, if they are killed before
Thanksgiving. and they ought to average
twelve pounds each, which makes 1900
pounds in all, ard to sell for 20 cents a
pound, or $240. I have raised turkeys
for many years, most years with fair
success, and, whatever the success,
they have always been the best paying
production of the farm.
This is my plan: Keep over ten hens
, aud tom; the hens the best birds in
the fall flock part old and part young
Ola hens Of good habits are to be pre-
ferred. Feed lightly ail 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 US
early as possible. Early turkeys are
twice as likely to live as late ones.
When the young come off put them in
little board pens in a warm place for q
week or more, feeding them six or eight
times day with coarse meal and chop
ped hard-boiled eggs, mixed with water,
or, what is better, sour milk. AS soon
as they are strong enough give them a
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 COM
ing up for their dinner, and so they will
not go far away from home Sec that
they are always fully fed and safely
housed at night, so that foxes and skunks
will not and cannot destroy them.
Make it matter of thought to see that
your turkeys are safe all summer. Be-
gin to fatten in September and kill for
Thanksgiving, and you will be able to
put few dollars in some near savings
bank which you may honestly call pay
for your care and work and profit in the
grain fed. This business cannot be
overdone, and I advise farmers to put a
few dollars into turkeys for next season
Gf they can find them) at once,

To KEEP LEMoNs.-W When lemons are
cheap, it is prudent to lay in a good
store of them, as they will keep we'll by
running fine string through the nib at
the end and hanging them up in dry
place, taking care that they do not touch
each other.
PAINTING WooDwoRK.-Here is sug-
gestion which should lie borne in mind |:
When you have the woodwork in room
painted it is good plan to have about
two inches of the floor painted also
have the paint the same color as that of
the Dashboard; then if, when changing
carpets, the carpet will not come close
to the wall, the little space left will not
be SO unsightly.
If your windows are narrow, or even
if they are of the usual width, and you
feel that you cannot afford double
curtains, single ones may be draped so
gracefully that they will answer admir-
ably. They should not be looped back
with ribbons, but be pinned or tackled
back in several places. Begin to tack
OF pin back quite high, or you cannot
prevent drawing aud awkward appear
ance lower down.
Malaria. in 80 cases out of 100 is g
synonym for disorlered liver. A treat
ment, the efiacy Of which has been
proven, is to take q dose Of cathartic
medicine before indulging in quinine.
A goblet Of hot mot lukewarm) water,
drunk every morning before breakfast,

To make fancy mats or tides, cut out
t-e required shape in coarse net; obtain
a paper patter1 of flower and leaves
for wool work. and small piece of can
vas not too fine, Lay the canvas and
tack it on to the net; work the pattern
On in colored silk, Or all in gold color;
then pull away all the threads of the
canvas and leave the worked design on
the net. The effect is very pretty and
the work easy. The embroidery is of
course done in cross-stitch The net
may be edged with delicate lace or white
silk fringe. This work is Russian, and
small table mats made thus are much
used. They are also pretty, made OF
soft white or colored muslin or satin.

but he has a large head full of character,
and as he sits at his deck compares very
favorably with those about him. Spoon
er's head is grotesque in Its emallness.
His face Is almost wizened in it's thiuness
and sharpness of line. The lower part of
hir face runs to q sharp point. His eyes
are small and deeply sunk. His nose is
s'oping. thin and straight. His mouth is
very large. His hair is a thick, sandy
red which is brushed up flpplntly as If

ear smooth into q solid bank ofh,ir which
stands cut at right angles from the left
side of his heao, completely covering she

head is also brushed 10 this central point.

A MAN OF STRAW.

POWDER SPRINGS, GA, Feb % 'S5.
MesSrS. Editors-In your issue of the
18th of February appeared communities
ton from A. G. Mckinney. He seems to
put the stock-law in front in order to make a
thrust at the cotton buyers of Powder
Springs and brings up his rear with the
road business to let the people know that he
is one of the Grand Jurors.
With your permission, we will try and
give a true statement about this business,
less the cotton buyers of this place be injur-
ed lone of whom has passed over the river
| of death and cannot defend his own fair
name). McKenhey $ remarks are just as
applicable to Rome. and Atlanta cotton buy
ers as to the buyers of this place, because
for time a certain cotton buyer gave
more for cotton in Marietta than the buy
ers gave in either of the other places.
The cotton in the warehouse here was TAX
en- out and sold in Marietta Even the mer-
chants did this, so did the warehousemen in
Marietta sell to this certain buyer, and this
same certain buyer even went to Atlanta
and bought cotton there
Our cotton buyers kept so close to the At
lanta market that they realized nothing on
the business 1t is fact that some quit
buying because it was loseing business.
Did the Atlanta and Rome buyers pay
any attention to this cotton buyer? Not a
bit.
Then why should the buyers here do so ?
1t was none of their business if certain
buyer in Marietta thought proper to give
| above the market price.
A good many of the men in the club mem
toned are buying their guano here, having
only bought part direct from the manufac'
turers, and the business relations between
the buyers and the farmers are not at all dis
turbed. We have seen no folly nor braga-
docio, we are denied none of our rights
This is all straw-man conjured up by an
incongenial spirit to be demolished to the
delight of his maker.
The cotton buyers here will buy any man
cotton, guano or no guano, club man or not
May be one buyer in Marietta did buy
more cotton than all the buyers here, YET
we know one buyer in Atlanta who bought a
great deal more than all the buyers in Ma
rietta, and what does this signify? Nothing
but the size of the cotton market of each
place.
The cotton buyers of this place have used
every effort to build up a trade for the place
1t is to their interest of course to do so.
They have been foremost with money and
brains in all of our undertakings
We guess the stock law will be disposed Of
according to law in due time All are ia.

have as good or better roads than any other
