RAISING TURKEYS.
How to Rear Large Flocks of Fine !

How to Rear Large Fiocks of Fine Birds
Successfully.
Inquiries for the best turkeys for
breeding purposes are received from
my customers far and near, who arc
getting their ilocks ready for the breed
ing season, and great mamy ask:
How do you manage to raise such II
large flock successfully? What do you
feed the young turkeys, and so On. As
il would take great deal of time to
answer each privately, will answer
all with one letter through your paper.
First. would say: don't put off too
late TO mate your turkeys for the breed
ing season. which is generally the
month of February. have customers
send 10 me for turkeys in April.

and although the price OF gobbler
may appear high. yet the value to be
derived from the use of the ''arie;y is

and note the improvement n the flock
the next year.
When the eggs hatch and tho hen is

ONIONS FOR THE COMPLEXION.

wish to whisper a little secret,
especially to the girls who read
The Household columns. 1t is this,
girlS: If you wish clear, smooth
skin, just eat onions.
My sister and have as fine, fair
skins as you often see. We are
never troubled by pinples, bOils or
eruptions of any kiud, and this is
largely due, our family physician
says, to the fact that from infancy
we have had onions once a week
and usually oftener.
When my sister came home from
a prim boarding school q few years
ago, she declared that onions were
a "vulgar food" and she "shouldn't
eat any" But when her face would
shine, and even a liberal supply OF
powder would not cover up the
eruptiOns, then che decided they
(the onions) were not so very bad
after all.
Now, girls, do not be afraid OF
having an offensive breath, but
Just drink a cup of coffee or chew a
few coffee kernels, and, my word
for 1t, your company will not shor-
ten their call at all, at least, on that
account.-DetrOit Free Press.

Creameries.

The creamery question is the
issue of the day in butter-making
sections. We believe most heartily
in having these creameries run on
the cooperative system. Upwards
of 100 of the New England cream
enes that pay the largest net re-
turn TO their patrons are managed
comparatively, We believe it will
pay every community to investi-
gate this matter. 1t means less
work in the household and more
money in the pocket book. 1t is
bringing a gradual revolution in
our dairying that speaks we'll for
the future. Proprietary creameries
are well enough in their place, and
in many localities Will succeed bet
ter than the cooperative system,
but when the farmers of a neigh
bOrhood get educated up to the
benefits Of cooperative dairyiDg
they can make it pay and get all
the profits there are in the bust
ness.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
sTAeNANT WATERSHED ELK.

Professor Law, of Cornell Uni
verslty, canse some cows to dunk
for several days from a stagnant
pool of water that existed in a
swale, AID having examined the
milk found it full of living organ
isms. Then the water from the
pool was examined and the same
living creatures were found. Then
the cows were examined, and they
were found to be in a feverlsh con-
dItion, the result of their blood
being charged with these minute
organisms. Then some pure milk
was taken and some OF this pond
water was put with it, and these
same creatures multiplied within a
few hours so as to take possession
of the milk. After this test no one
can dispute that llVlng organisms
may be introduced into milk by
the use of improper food or drink.
Ii also shows that there is a close
relation between good, pure water
and fine, good keeping dairy pro-
ducts. From a sanitary stand
point the lives and health of the
consamers are, to a certain extent,
dependent upon the character Of
the butter and milk. Radical
cleanliness can alone be tolerated
IN the dairy of 1855.

SunhOWers and Malaria.

The sunflower has long been
popularity supposed to be pre-.
ventive of malariOus diseases. The
opinion is well founded, and for
the reason that hairy soft leaved
plants are supposed to greedily
take up malarlal gases. The sun.
flower has broad leaves, and in re.
lation to the size of the plant a
large leaf surface. The leaves of
the sunnower were long considered
to be specific for asthma, when
dried and smoked in a pipe. The
value in this direction has not yet
been successfully cOntrOverted.-
We recommend the planting of the
sunnower freely about the house
in all regions where malarial ema-
nations are likely to be found. This
is always the case in all prairie
regions or those where the original
sod is turned. The seeds are pro-
duced in proiuslon, form fattening
food for poultry, and may be fed to
all farm animals occasionally with
profit. The stalks broken up make
excellent kindlings for fires, and
thus every portion of the plant
may be put to good use.
When raised In regular field
rows, plant four feet apart between
rows by twelve inches in the row.
Cultivate precisely as you would
Indian corn. When the heads are
ripe cut and carry to the threshing
floor, or cut partially of aud let
them hang down on the stalk until
dry and then thresh. The stalks
may be cut next to the ground and
stacked up until wanted for fuel

The Family Medicine Chest.

Every household should possess
n medicine chest. 1t may be a
little corner closet or simply a box,
but it should always have a lock
and key. 1t should contain roll
of old linen, some lint, court.plas-
ter, fine, soft spOnges, small glass
syringe, a medicine tumbler, lime
water, linsOed oil, arnica and as
many OF the simple remedies as the
members of the family know how
TO use. The fact of having these
things all together IN a spot where
they can be found the instant they
are wanted will save much valna-
BILE time and considerable pain to
the patient.
