A Funeral i'm Turkey.

Preparations for the funeral are be-
gun as soon as life is extinct, as the
Turks believe in burying the dead as
quickly as possible. The eyelids are
closed and the lower jaw bandaged the
arms are stretched down the side and
the feet tied together. The priest and
his assistants are now summoned to
wash the corpse. AS with us, no mat
ter how person may have been kicked
and buffeted through life, he is handled
very tenderly after all sensibility has
departed. The Turks are even more
careful of this, because any lack of
tenderness in handling corpse would
bring upon them the curse of the dead

THE STOCK RANCH.
Good EIorses-Good Prices.

There has been some complaint for
few weeks past that the horse market
was dull, yet there has been steady de-
mand for good horses. One of the largest
horse dealers in New York City
says:
1t may be said that carriage horses of
first class quality are scarce. Money
doesn't seem to bring them into the
market as fast as they cam be placed.
When pairs of high quality, fine action,
and ability to do what is required Of
them without exhaustion are on hand
they cam be sold at once, and at paying
figures. There is no gruGnbling about a
fair price for such animals, but the
cheaper carriage horses aue more readily
found, and of course sell for moderate
amounts. We cannot have too many of
the higher quality.
Prices of pairs? They will nun from
$500 to $4,000, according ito merit.
InotteTs are also asked for, but the
demand is not large. They may be OBJ
tanned all the way from $500 to $1,000,
but the requirements are gentleness,
steadiness, and speed. A gentleman 60
ing on the road for pleasure don't want
to be bothered and worried, fearful,
perhaps, that his new purchase will show
tkaJ he as not ala right, but has tricks
which are dangerous. And the same
may be Said of all horses. Keep faith
with Your customers. Never deceive
them about all animal. Let them know
a2llthat you know about them and then
there wall be plain sailing.
There is also a demand for heavy
draft horses, but there is room for big
Improvement in this particular. These
horses vary from $300Fto $3.50 each.
Animals for the express business are
Also called for, and the better grade
may be purchased for $3.50 ito 1926. In
this class there should also be more
marked demand in the near future.
SO Let als sum ap the whole matter in
a nutshell. This is one of the seasons
OF the year when a failing off in trade is
expected. There are large number of
first class and healthy horses on hand,
and a moderate business is being

THE POULTEKER,
Chickens We. Eggs,

The question often arises which paws
the best to raise, chickens or eggs for
the general market? This cannot be
answered salts factorily unlessa an account
is kept and a comparison made for a
series of years. Our own experience
1--WE are wTthln twenty-f five miles of Chi
cago), rs that IT pays better ito raise eggs
than to raise chickens, as We have no in
cubator. AT a farmers meeting held in
Boston some weeks ago, Mr.. ". Ell. Rudd,
who lives near that city, said that it paid
him better to raise chickens for market
than 1t did to raise eggs, and gave the
figures to prove it. He employs nothing g
but artificial means for Matching. In
mldwinter his success has been to
hatch half of the eggs and ito raise
50 per cent. of the chicks. In other
words: when the eggs We're worth 40
cents dozen by the case it costs 81 cents
ito hatch each chicken which arrived at
marketable age, but it reached ONE and
one half pounds April LIST. when it read
lily brought 40 cents per pound. neither
drawn nor headed. As the entire cost
of Matching and feeding did not exceed
Is cents, the profit ON each chicken (say-
ing nothing about cost of ineubators
and brooders) was IS cents.
TO recapltulate: Our 100 eggs were
worth 1888; we Matched fifty chickens
and raised forty OF them at a cost of
$6.67, making total cost Of $40. The
total receipts from forty chicks at 60
cents each, $24. Difference between
selling the chicks and the eggs, $l4; or
it We have sufficient room and think il
desirable, the chicks can be held until
the last week in June, when they should
dress three and one half pounds each,
and bring, with a few cents per pound,
as much for roasters as they would have
done April LIST for broilers, because what
few early chicks were raised have already
been disposed of for brothers, and the
market for large roasters is consequently
short. They can be carried to this age
at an additional cost of rs cents or less,
making their total cost so cents each,
and as they will bring on an average
$1.25 each, the profit on them is $50
In this case the advantage of setting our
eggs instead Of selling them is $26.67,
and as neither $14 nor 1876 grow on every
bush, we put it in our pocket at every
opportunity" The moral is, keep an
account and see which, eggs or chicks,
pays you the best.-Farm, Field and

THE GARDEN,


The .Jessica grape is variety as yet
but little known. We have no hesita-
tion to advise it as one Of the most de-
sirable kinds for the private garden. Its
quality is high, and it is one of the first
to ripen, coming into use a week or
more before the Delaware. It is a
good grower with good foliage, and cam
be depended upon to stand the sun.
Size of clnster and berries about the
same as Delaware; color, red.
The Diamond grape, of which a most
favorable opinion has heretofore been
expressed In these pages, has as yet
shown no fault on flaw in any respect in
any essential quality of vine or fruit,
and it undoubtedly now stands in ad-
vance, all things considered, of all the
varieties of white native grapes in Gull
tivati0n. It's season is but little, if any,
Later than that of the Delaware. Tt must
become very popular when we'll known.
The Nergennes and the Worden have
now been so long before the public it
may be thought needless to mention
them, but to some it may prove word
fifty spoken" to say that these varieties
are thoroughly reliable both for the pri-
vate garden and the vineyard.- Weeks

THE APIARY.
When to Buy Bees.

To one who is thinking of purchasing
their first hive Of bees, the question
often arises, 'sshall l buy in the fall7 or
in the spring?"
Mrs. L. Harrison, who has had much
experience in the apairy, writing to an
exchange, says that if bees are puphased
in the fall, there cannot possibly be any
profit in the investment, except they can
be sold at an advance, until the follow
ing summer, and the risks are large.
Veterans, who have grown old in the
service, often lose many colonies during
the winter. The seasons are so variable,
and we have not the gift of knowing
whether fhe coming winter will be very
cold, moderate, or mild; if we had, we
could advise more wisely.
have seen bees die dtring the winter
when the conditions were favorable for
their living. When I took out the combs
and examined everything connected with
the hive carefully, I could not see any
cause for their death. simply knew
that the bees were dead. Perhaps if

Dairy Notes

No SUGAR is put in first class butter
in these days. The effort is to get every
thing out, but an allowable amount Of
pure brine, saline enough to suit the
palate of the buyer.
A cLEANLY kept COW wida yield sweet
milk with an agreeable, sweet odor, and
quite free from any faint Or injurious
quality whatever. True such milk is
very rare, and this is the reason why the

The main object Of the butter-maker
should be to sell product Of butter

THE DAIRY,
The Average JERSEY.

Hunter Nicholson, in the Dairy World,
says the Jersey leads the whole cattle
kind wherever butter is made. We do
not mean the phenomenal Princesses,
Oxford Hates, or Mary Annes, but the
plain, every day, average Jersey COWS.
Such cows. if properly fed, will yield
an average of one pound of butter day
for every day in the year, or 365 pounds
Jerseyaeows that does not yield at this
rate when properly fed and the milk
rightly handled ought not to be kept.
They ought to give place to COWS that
will do it. Even at Is cents pound
this makes $91.25. Allowing SIS for
feed we have $45 clear profit. This al
lows the manure to pay for labo~ in at

aggerated statement. There are thou

A Good Early Tomato.

The Dwarf Champion tomato has
proved to be very superior variety.
The plant differs from other kinds by its
stocky, bushy habit, allowing it to be
planted closer than others. It is very
productive, and it is estimated to pro-
duce a larger amount of fruit than any
other kind in cultivation. The fruit is
of medium size, purplish red color, solid
and quite heavy, quality good, among
the earliest to ripen, and when ripe the
fruit is we'll colored all over and quite
up to the stem-no green part about the
stem, as in many kinds. One peculiar
ity is that the fruit grows larger in size
the latter part of the season. This va
riety was raised by Mr.. F. E. Black, of
Marion. Ohio, from seed saved in 1884,
from selected plants of the Acme

When colony OF bees that belongs to
a person who owns many colonies, dies,
the loss is trifing for he can, another
season, use the live end comb. But
when person pure bases colonies in the
fall, and they perish during the winter,
he may lose his combs by the moths be-
fore he can procure swarms to put into
the hives. Occasionally colonies are
sold at sales ror not more than the
honey and hives are worth; then it
would be safe enough to invest.
In the spring a good, strong colony
of bees promises to be a good invest
ment. [ have never seen season but
that, during some period of it, bees laid
up stores for winter. It is true that a
crop of honey cannot be depended on
every season, in most localities. Last
year and this, We're partial failures,
owing to the severe drouth. Agricultu-
rists and horticulturists have losses and
failures in crops; pigs and chickens die
of cholera; apples fail; while corn,
wheat, oats, and potatoes are not always
sure. On the average, taking one year
with another, three crops Of honey out
Of five can be depended on.
Apfary Notes.
!, THERE are in North America about
100000 persons keeping bees. The
amount of the honey product is about
100, 900 pounds, and its value nearly
$15, 100000 The annual wax product IS
about SOC, 600 pounds and it's value $780,
900.
MRS. S. E. SHERMAN, of Salado, Tex,
says that last spring her apiary con-
sisted Of forty good colonies of Italian
and hybrid bees. She increased them
to sixty colonies, and obtained from
them 5000 pounds of honey ,ymostly ex-
tracted. How is that for woman?
The editor Of the British Bee Journal
says cellar wintering is not much prac-
ticed in England; the reasons for which
is, that the hives are OF. SO many differ
ent patterns, and too large and awkward
to admitsof ready handling" The eli
mate ON the isle is much more mild than
in this country; bat inasmuch as it is
variable, cellaring might be followed to
advantage.

The Middle Point of the Union.

If the average boy or girl were asked
what Is the middle point Of the United
States-that Is, the halfway station be-
tween the extreme east and the extreme
west-the answer would probably be
Somewhere in Kansas"
But that would be wrong. The United
States comprises the Territory of Alaska,
and that stretches SO far to the westward
that the middle point is not in Kansas, but
in California.
This seems SO astonishing that some
figures may be necessary TO prove the as
sertion. Here they are: The eastern most
point in the United States is Quoddy Point,
on the coast Of Maine, longitude 66 degrees
IS minutes west of Greenwich. and the
westernmost point is Attoo Island, of the
coast Of Alaska, longitude Isl degrees "a
minutes west Of Greenwich. The middle
point Is thus 80 degree. 80 minutes west
Cow, San Francisco is I'D degrees "a min
utes Is seconds west, and that is very near.
~ the middle point. Perhaps the actual
middle point is Groveland, or Coulterville,
Cal
There Is something startling in these
figures when we study them. Omaha is Al
Eastern city. So is New Orleans. and also
St. Paul. Topeka, Ysukton, and, in fact, all
cities east of l07 degrees minutes.
The real Middle States and Territories
are Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Colorado,
New Mexico, Utah, etc ; and the only real
Western States and Territories are Wash
ingson, Oregon, California and Alaska

ures, and thus impress upon the youthful
