Counting Out Rhymes.

Somewhere about 1O0different variations
and versions of this rhyme alone are given.
The following is one of several versions
from Aberdeen, Scotland:
Emery, twaery, tuckery, tayven,

From work on the gypsies. by Mr..
Charles G. Leland, we have specimen OF
gypsy magic spell; it is as follows:
Ekkeri, alxain, you kair-an,
Fnlisin, fallisin, Nicholas jan,
Xiii, kari Irishman,
Sttni stani, buck
This, on comparison, will be found to be
almost identical with the first example we
have given of counting out rhyme; EEK
keEi, akairi" being the equivalent in Ro-
many for ''onery, twoery." Another very
familiar form is that commencing, "eney,
meeny," etc. This is a great favorite
among American children, the commonest
version being:
Eney, meeny, miny mo.
Catch Niger by the toe;
bs holers, let him go;
Ency, meeny, miny mo.
This example gives evident proof of adap-
ts&ion to American ideas; but the prelimi-
nary and concluding ''eney, meeny" are Of
obvious German or Dutch origin; such as:
Enc, tene, mony, mel,
Pastor, Lone bone, strei.
Enc, fune, herke, berke,

In reply to this oft repeated query
Fanny Field replies thus in her recent
book on poultry: II started out to raise
turkeys and to make them pay, and after
[ got the hang of the turkeys DISPOSE
lions and constitutions, understood their
moral and physical needs, l did
make them pay. And now, from my
own experience, can truthfully say that
when the work is thoroughly done and
the business wisely managed there is no
branch of poultry farming that pays so
well in proportion to the investment of
time, labor and capital as raising tur-
keys for market. I've seen a good many
times, but never yet one time when first
class Thanksgiving turkeys would not
sell at good paying prices. And besides,
Thanksgiving is not the only time when
market turkeys are in demand. From
early fall until late spring the city mar
kets call for turkeys, and MS the supply
of first class turkeys has never yet been
equal to the demand, hardly think it
will pay to lose any sleep through fear of
not being able to sell our turkeys after
we have grown them"

The first requisite in preparing the soil
for crop is to pulverike the soil, and
since the plow is very efficient for this
service-in fact indispensable-it is one
of the most important of agricultural
implements. Among so many varying
styles and different manufactures COM
