Professor Henry claims that the inl-
portant point in stock feeding is TO con
stantly Lear in mind that q young
animal gives better returns for feed con
sumed than an old one. A pound Of
meal or a pound of hay adds more to the
weight of calf than to the same animal
when grown.

Among specimens represented in the

handsome one, Nine. Drexel, which is
shown in the cut.
In reference to the chrysanthemum of
the future, correspondent of The Gar

seedlings and selecting varieties to intro
duce, should aim especially at (D Bril-
liancy of color; delicate standings of
color being quite desirable, If clear and
well defined. (2) Full and regular flow
ers, well intoxicated. Odd and grotesque
forms are pleasing as novelties; but,
unless possessing other elements Of de-
cided beauty, we soon tire Of them, and
the market is now well supplied. (3)
Have we reached the limit Of size? (4)
Very late and early varieties. Especially
late ones are called for. Perhaps we
cannot get very early varieties that will
be healthy and bloom well. (5) Hardi-
ness. Among our fine new varieties
there are some which can be wintered
in the open ground with little or no pro-
lection and others are pretty sure to
winter kill. The flowers Of some stand
much more cold than others. We want
set that will not only survive our or
binary winters, but such as will hold
their flowers bright after light frosts at
least, and florists should, in describing
them, state if hardy or tender.

and society and the world. OF such value
that no one can appreciate it, unless his
mother lived long enough to let him un-
derstand it, or who in some great crisis of
life when all else failed him, had a wife to
reinforce him with faith in God that
nothing could disturb. Speak out We
cradles, and tell of the feet that rocked
you and the anxious faces that lowered
over you! Speak out ye nurseries of all
Christendom, and ye homes, whether DESC
late or still in full bloom with the faces of
wife, mother and daughter, and help me
to define what woman is."-Talmage.

1t will be just as we'll for all parties if it
shall turn out that the republicans have an
actual majority in the house of represen-
tatives. With the president and the SEN
ate the party will have the undivided re-
sponsibility for the government of the
union for two years TO come, and if its
power be badly used it will be all the
easier to vote it out again. AS matter
of fact, a political antagonism between
congress and the senate has seldom
proved advantageous, and has very often
worked badly.-Philadelph Times, Ind.

For Dyspepsia

Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate.
DR.. Lorenzo Waite, Pittsfield, Mass.
says: "From its use for period of about
eight weeks, to the exclusion of all other
remedies, I attribute the restoration to
health of a patient who was emaciated to
the last degree, in consequence of nervous
prostration and dyspepsia. This patients
stomach was in such an irritable condition
that he could not bear either liquid or
solid food. An accomplished physician
of many years. experience, whom called
in consultation, pronounced his case an
incurable one. At this stage decided to
use Horsford's Acid Phosphate, which re-
suited as above mentioned"

Examining a school Report.

Said Pasha as lad was very clever,
but enormously stout. One day as NJ.
de Lesseps was talking with the pasta,
he said to him: "Snce you take an in
terest in my son, here are his reports
l don't look at them. l did not know
how to read at 40, and even read very
badly now. But I look at the last col.

have him punished; if less, have him
rewarded. THE Spectator.

NARRAGANsETT TURKEYS.

Just now turkeys are important birds;
attention is naturally drawn to them,
and many who have never kept them
begin to consider the question of do
ing so:
Varieties are the first point to be
thought Of Among these the Narragan-
sets, represented in the cut, are classed
as the most domestic. Favor is claimed
for them as strong and hardy stock, the
young turkeys being easily raised and
not subject to as large a percentage of
loss in the early stages of raising as are
many breeds. They are commonly de-
scribed as gray in color.
The Bronze are also a favorite kind.
being said to grow more rapidly, fatten
more quickly and weigh more than any
others.
Turkeys are fully grown at from three
to four years, but the young birds begin
to lay earlier in the season and lay more
eggs than the old ones, besides being less
savage.
AS the time is drawing near when our
national bird will be in demand for pur-
poses Of family festivities and thankful
ness it will soon be in order for farmers
to put the fowls to be used OF sold for this
purpose into a proper condition. No
matter whether at present fat or lean,
turkeys ought to be confined for few
days previous to killing in limited quar-
tiers and receive plenty of good, whole
some food and pure water, and not be
left to forage for themselves on whatever
they can find, whether clean or unclean.
The effect Of such change of diet for
few days, or weeks if q longer time is
required to put on the right amount of
flesh and fat, will be juicy and well
favored birds fit for such feast. To bc
of the best the fowls must be young, for
no amount of care or feeding will make
tough old specimens suitable for such an
occasion. A mixture of meal and oats,
with boiled potatoes, in which should be
put little powdered charcoal, if alter
mated with corn anG scraps from the table
will form good ration and produce the
best quality Of meat. The greater the
variety of food the better, SO long as it
is clean and wholesome and relished by
the birds.

Wolves are doing great damage in
northern Montana by destroying stock. In
Choteau county, Charles Adam was com
PEELED to fly from the beasts the other
night when they destroyed eighty of his

$50 sheep were killed in one flock, and,
also, thirty colts belonging to another

May do for stupid boys excuse but
what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
to recognize the want OF a tonic and
blood-puritier? Formerly, course OF
bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule in well-regulated families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant
TO the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan S. Cleveland, q E. Canton st..
Boston, writes: My daughter, now 81
years old, was in perfect health until
year ago when she began to complain of
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
indigestion, and loss of appetite. 1 con.
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her to take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood-making organs to
healthy action, and in due time reestab-
lished her former health. l find Ayers
Sarsaparilla most valuable remedy for
the lassitude and debility incident to

Important Facts About Chrysanthemums

1t is fact not generally known that
twice as many chrysanthemums are be-
ing grown this year as last. According
to American Gardener not less than a
million Of plants were sold by the florists
of America last spring; and as to varie-
ties, such superb kinds are added each
year and in such numbers that it seems
impossible to find room for more, yet i'm
provement goes on, and as long as it
does, why then there is room. The new
varieties which have been on probation
and are to be seen this season for the first
time will astonish even enthusiasts.
There are new forms, new colors, better
growers, earlier and later Towering va
rieties.

Why Red-Haired Girls Dent Tan.

. A red-haired girl, T believe, never
turns brown. That, understood from
| q learned physician, is because she has
too much iron in her blood. 1t is the
iron that gives the fine Titan hue to
4 her hair. If she had less iron in her
blood her hair would probably be brown
or chestnut, or perhaps blond. The
varying degrees of redness that you zee
in different red-headed girls is due to
the different proportions of iron IN their
iblood. A girl with glossy, brownish hair
that shows red in strong light has
only fair share OF iron in her blood,
bnt q bricktop, if may be permitted
tho. expression, bricktop is full of
iron. The doctors know of no way of
lneutralizing the effect of the iron. Per-
haps they wouldn't resort to it, even if
they know il. For it is the iron
in the blood that makes the red
headed girls SO. strong and hardy and
rood natureds It also is the cause Of
freckhs, which are very good for tho
health. And it is noticed as singular
thing -probably also having some rela-
ton to the iron in the blood-that mos
quitoes never bite red headed girls. So
you see, according to the dictum of this
learned physician, red healed girl has
many advantages over her dark-haired
sister. Philadelphia Press.
