The remarkable popularity of the
grip in Japan was its prevalence
among the upper classes. whereas the
cholera selected its victims among the
poorer people. Some idea of the ex-
tent of the epidemic may be gathered
from the fact that, at Yokohama, the
sufferers officially reported numbered
over $4,000, and it is estimated that
the unreported cases throughout the
prefecture were nearly twice as great.
OF the 10000 inhabitants of Kobe,
%, 900 were attacked by the disease.

virulence, and similar reports come
from some of the Chinese cities.

the women convicts are sent To this
convent the male convicts are per
mitted to go for the purpose of select
ing wives, after they have Obeyed the
rules of prison life and earned the
right to live in liberty outside the
prison walls. Such marriages have
probably been permitted or encour-
aged on the presumption that married
life would eonduce to eontentment aud
better behavior, but the Mother Su-
perior of the convent thinks it Is a bad
plan. She asserts that criminals thus
paired off are more likely to descend
to lower depths of depravity, and that
the children of these unions are if
possible more degraded than their
parents. In her opinion, the regener-
alton of criminals through the family
life is prodigious failure.

Breeding TURKEYS,

Joseph Wallace manages to find somc-
thing fresh on this often-discussed sub
ject. In breeding turkeys the bronze is
the largest and hardest of its species.
If, however, a choice of other varieties
is made be sure that the breeders are
vigorous, A proper selection is even
more necessary in one sense than in the
case of common fowls bred for mere
utility, because the offspring will show
all the defects of the parents in a more
marked degree, as all constitutional
and hereditary defects are transmitted
at once, and even the condition of good
health at the time of mating is
not sufficiently. powerful to coun-
teract or TO influence in modifying
the constitutional defects in the off
spring, as it is more or less in the case
of the common fowl, that transmit good
and defective qualities dependent upon
their state of health and condition dur
ing mating.
The young poult is so sensitive to
wet and dampness that even in a wild
state the turkey seeks regions where
there is little rain or dew during the
breeding season. The young poults
feather so rapidly that they are weak
and tender, because there is a constant
drain on the system to start and nour-
iish a large growth of feathers besides
bone, flesh and muscle. 1t is seen that
proper food and care are necessary UNI
til :the birds begin TO show red about
the head, then the most critical period
is passed. Rural World.

Keep Economical Cows.

The COW for economy is the one that
from quantity of feed will produce
the most and best milk or butter. This
COW will not be any larger than is nee
essary to do her work and she will not
store up lot of fat that will be of no
particular Use to her owner. She will
eat much more feed than aywasteful
cow, but here one point showing her
her true economy comes in; while she
eats more feed she gives u. larger
per cent in return than the
wasteful COW, and if we, take a
herd of economical cows and com.
pare it with larger herd of
wasteful ones we will only have to fur
nish the food of support for the small
err herd while we get us much milk or
butter as the larger herd gives. The
difference between keeping herd of
economical cows and a wastcful herd
may be the difference between profits
and loss it certainly will he u differ
ence of wide margin in the profits.
The best is the cheapest, whether it be
COWS, feed or care, and the economical
cow is the best COW, no matter what
her breed may be or whether she is of
any breed; for dairy work alone we
must look to the individuality of each
COW. Stockman and Farmer.

yyhon 10 water Horses.

Suppose the horse is just brought TO
the stable from work or driving. In
this case only a few swallows of water
