Some poultry raiSers are accustomed TO
use chicken hens to hatch out the young
turkeys aud mother them. This is not well.
They sit around the kitchen door in that
case. and grow flavorleSs and stupid. The
turkey mother takes them far and near,
roaming over ths farm, and destroying in
scots hurtful to the farmers crops. Grass
hoppers and potato beetles are their natural
food. Left TO run with their turkey mother,
they mostly find their own food and their
meat grows delicate and high favored.
At first the old bird should be confined in
the COOP till the young brood feel their
strength. Feed them on chopped onion tops,
chopped clover. cracked corn and coarse oat-
meal When they are old enough to run at
large they will mostly feed themselves till

Last spring there was considerable trouble
caused by seed 20. atoes not sprouting. The
Late Rose was one against which this charge
was especially brought. The fact is tina,
potatoes run out, and new varieties must b.
started every few years. There are symp-
toms that even the favorite Early Rose is
beginning to run out in some localities. For
these places the Early Ohio, Early Sunrisa
and Lees Favorite are to be recommended
in>teld. They are oil very early. Try
them if the Early Rose fails with you.
1t would be a good plan for our farmers
to experiment a little with raising their own
new varieties of po.ato. They have only to
plant the contents Of one of the seed balls
found upon potato vine. 1t will produce
a large number of tiny tubers. Select the
largest Of these and plant them next year
You can tell the second year of the tubers
what the result is going to be. You may
thus happen to produce n very fine potato

THE EUREKA.

The inventor of this new combination OF
power is john Secor He has given much
time and experiment to the study of the
subject, and as Il complete test Of the capa-
bilities of hi, invention has constructed
vessel of about 100 feet in length. The
only difference between her appearance and
ordinary steam craft is that she
appears to have no visible means OF propui-
sion. There is no wheel or paddle, it is true,
but not far from the stern, on each side, I'M
der water, are two square pipes, from which
it is expected gas will be forced against the
water at pressure exceeding 100 pounds to
the square inch. The inventor claims that
he can develop continuous pressure OF hf-
teen tons against the water from the mouth
of each p.pe. If this proves to be fact, the
vessei viii move through the water at an I'M
heard-of speed, and without tho jar and
tremor that usually accompanies our present
methods of propulsion
Explosive engines of various kinds are
being used successfully for many purposes
now, but the method of increasing the force
by exploding a compound in compressed air
and releasing the tremendous pressure to
exert Itself against the water Is the novelty
in Mr. Secors invention. If successful, this
principle can only be applied 10 navigation.
though Gen Thayer Of Philadelphia, ex-
poets 20 use S ome such idea in propelling his
dirIgible war alloons through the air. 1t is
a question, though, whether the weight of
the powerful machinery Necessary can be
supported III ar. Mr.. Secor'S scheme could
not we'll be used on land, as there Is no con
venient medium for his high pres ure gas TO
blow against as in wafer, except The air,
and that would be impracticaole.
