BREEDING TURKEYS.

In selecting turkeys for breeding pur-
poses choose those that have long. sym
metrical bodies, full breasts and broad
backs. The neck shonld be slender but
not too long, head small and keen look
ing, covered with short black hair; the
waffle and gils should he of a bright red
color
The legs should be OF moderate length,
and in birds eight or nine months old
are dead black color; rs they grow
older their legs become lighter in color.
until they are quite pink. The plumagc
of healthy bird is bright and gIistcn-
ing.
When you select birds take those that
are gentle-not wild. They will cause
you much less trouble than those that are
easily frightened. Generally better re-
suits will be obtained ii YOU mate birds
that are not related. Would at least
change "Toms" every second year.
Turkeys will not stand crowdin"; they
should be allowed to range at will. They

An Algerian Horror.

A performance which is quite out of
tn" common rut is that Of the AiSsaouaS
i'll the Algerian concert at the Paris Ex-
position. The AissaouaS are not actors,
dancers, or athletes; they belong to Il
tribe where religious Juggling is kept in
great honor. L" please the Divinity they

their eyes project from their orbits, pierce
their checks with long rccdlcs, have
themselves bitten by viprrs, swallow
snakes or keep their equilibrium on IA

out shedding blood ard without appar-
rnt pain or injury to themselves. After
roasting for few minutes over IL brazicr

and give to the head rotary impulse
which leaves them in sort of hypnOtiHcd

REPAIRING TINS.

Farmers who live remote from any
place where there is tinsmith are often
troubled by leaks in tin roofs, or cave
troughs. Any farmer can repair then,
and make them stronger than before
Find the leak, and apply good coat of
rather thick paint; put on piece of old
bagging or coarse muslin, then second
coat of paint, rubbing it well in and
smoothly. Then cover with piece of
tin, mailing it down tightly close to the
edge, using large-headed tacks; those
known as twenty-four or thirty ounce
Iron tacks are best. Then give another
coat of paint, and the leak is not only
repaired, but that part will last much
longer than the rest. Old fruit cans are
just the thing for the purpose; set them
on top of hot stove till the solder is
melted, and then natten them out t.-Mew

THE CABBAGE WORM.

prsr~SRAeING THE CABBAGE WORN.
-d. Andrew s. Fuller finds that the
green cabbage worm is discouraged by
the following treatment: Two quarts of
coal tar are put into an open vessel,
which is set in the bottom of barrel,
and the barrel is filed with water. In
forty eight hours the water is impreg-
mated with the odor of the tar, although
the tar is not dissolved in it. The water
Is then sprinkled abundantly on the cab
bages, and the oaor penetrates every
portion of the head, killing or driving
away the worms. AS the water evaporates
no stain or odor remains OH the cabbage.
The same quantity of coar tar can be
made to impregnate several successive
barrels OF water.-Boston CuHicotOr.

lays at this time. If she steals her nest
and brings off a nice brood Of turks be-
fore you are aware she is laying, don't
show your disappointment by neglecting
her and her brood, but give her to under
stand that you appreciate her sagacity
and success in getting the start of you.

THE WHISKY HABIT.


The Itdirie Farmer has insisted-does yet
eratc drinking Of spirituous and fermentcd
liquors is to have it considered degrading for
persons TO DO seon drinking Mt public bars,
and especially that tho treating habit bs

average man becomes ashamed 70 be sn9n i'm
educated thereto by tho moro sober-mindcl,
that can bring this about. Accomplished, it
would reduce the public dram shop nuisance
one-half at once, and, finally do away almost
entirely with these pest holes Of drunkenness
1t would mako Sundays orderly i'm our great
cities, save money to tho homes of working
from the country, and carry tho hundreds of
drink into making the homes of the now in
temperate classes comfortable. IL would do
away in n great measure with strikes and
other labor troubles, for then the working
men could think not only earnestly but CO.
gently toward riShting the differences be-
tween employers and themselves.
1t has been said that the consumption of
spirits is yearly decreasing through the cna =
ment Of prohibitory laws. Tho New York
Tribune gives, from official sources,
the decrease and increase in sales to tho
people from 1877 to 1887. A digest shows
that, taking the quantities consumed in con.
secutive periods of thrco years, tho average
in 1888 wns l.23 gallons, against lG gallons
in the three years ending with 1879 This iu-
cludos every man, woman and child in the
country. What q presentation! In 1888,
counting fivo individuals Us tho average
family, this would give each adult over 81
gallons OF strong whisky yearly.

in France. In n recent issue Professor G..
Bunge. who is considered an authority upon

OF total abstinence principles, says that when
once established they suffer no arrest by oh

reviews the prohibition movement in
America, and says that in England there aro
5000, COO total abstainers; in Norway,

600. He continues: Tho society Of the
Blue Cross, nt ten years of age, counts 5000
members, and tho movement gains from day
to day. They have established the fact that
where the principle Of total abstinence is
once accepted the movement stops for no OBJ
stacles; it continually progresses, until ut
'ast it secures n strong majority in tho Gov
crnment and attains its end-the prevention

THE GYPSY'S WARNING.
BY 11ANDA L. CBoCKER.

"TheO"
She was christened Theodosia, but
the good old name had long since been
dropped for the shorter one of TheO.
"Theo!" The call was repeated and
she rose from where she had been
resting and came out of her hiding
place. A shadow was on the fair face,
for a vague sense of approaching evil
had settled ever the delicious after
noon in Gerald's absence.
Are they not beautiful? they are so
fragrant, too" And his tones were
those of delight Il gathered them
purposely to surprise you with the
earliest of the season.
The slender white fingers touched
the fragrant offering reluctantly, and
a terrified look crept into the blue
gray eyes.
"Do you not love vioIets 2" he asked,
in surprised and panied accents; Il
thought they would please you, Thee. "

In the dusk, and he clasped the cold,

''you know I love you.
"And that ig why. Alasl" she cried,
that we ever met. Those viOlets were,
for me. dripping with horror! I threw
them away on the hills.
Gerald vOuchsafed no reply. He
felt that he dared venture no further

"and I had reason to believe that he
