Don't COOK too fast or let it get
brown. This makes a tough food
like custard, and after you have fed
this for six or seven days mix corn
bread with it until they get used to
the bread, then leave the custard out
and feed them bread for awhile.
Then feed them just little smear
case. make it real wet Change the
last two named feeds as often as you
can. Spread an old oil cloth or car
pet on the chat and no feed will be
wasted or get dirty. Be sure not to
give water unless it is warmed, and
not more than what could make one
half teaspoonful to each one. But
you can give them pint OF warm,
sweet cream. and if they get it all
over them so much the BETTER Every
morning cut up some grass and clover
fine, put in also pan of ashes and
one of gravel. If they are not shut
up and they get to the water they
will kill themselves before they will
quit drinking Keep on feeding the
bread and cheese till they are big
enough to eat corn, but never feed
raw meal, and the trouble is over

How to Raise Turkeys.

Gather the eggs before they get
chilled, keep in not too cool nor too
warm place in the light. Turn
them over once day, that is to the
other side from the side they lie on.
Treated this way they will all be
likely to hatch. Keep the eggs till
the hens all commence to set, If it is
not too long. then set your tamest
hen with ten or fifteen eggs. and If
you want the others to lay again you
will set the balance of eggs under
chickens but the turkey hens would
be the best. Try to get them all set
the same week if you can.
If your chickens have gapes your
turkeys will have them worse. The
best way-and it is sure way--is to
keep them on board floor we'll COW
cred. Have 1t made so that il the
hen does get out the young turkeys
can't, and give them all to one tur-
key hen. Have four or five inches OF
old hayseed chaff all over the floor
If it is cool weather it must be kept
as warm as possible, and If it is warm
weather the sunlight must get in
the greater part Of the day. Keep
them in till six weeks old, then when
you put them out choose a day that
is not too hot or it will kill them.
Watch them for the first two or
three days.
Until they are quite a good size
when it comes a rain / always drive
them up and put them in coop, and
keep them in coops till the dew is
dried off mornings. Until they are
six days old feed them nothing but
this: Beat up three or four eggs like
you would for custard in pan, then
add four tablespoonful of sweet milk
for each egg, then set in the baker.

pushed ahead and the full advantage
be secured of the extra work.
The cultivated crops should be put
in good condition so that they will
keep growing while the harvesting
is going on. This should be done
even if 1T is necessary TO hire little
extra help. Generally help will cost
less before than during harvest. and
if the hiring OF extra help in cultivat-
ing will lessen the necessity of hiring
help during harvest it will be good
economy to do so.
As a large part OF the work of har
vesting is done by machinery it is a
very important item to have what is
needed on hand and in good working
order in good season. II new ma
chinery has to be purchased look after
It in good time. 1t is poor economy
to wait until the wheat is ripe or the
hay ready to cut before purchasing
the binder or mower. If you have
these and other machinery on hand
then see that they are in good work
ing order. Go over them and tighten
up all bolts or screws. If any of the
working parts have got rusted rub
or clean with coal-oil. 1t never pays
to start into harvesting crop of any
kind with a machine that is liable to
break down at any time. Better re-
pair before harvest begins than stop
after it has fairly commenced.
After certain stage of ripeness
has been reached very little delay
will often lower the quality very
materially. If the binder is used for
wheat and oats be sure of The Irvine
needed in good season. Have plenty
of good oil. 1t is poor economy to
use anything else but the best. and a
good supply should be secured in
good season. Every item that will
save time should be looked after and
every advantage taken to secure in
the best condition. With a good
outfit of machinery a considera BILE
acreage of wheat and grass can be
handled in a short time ana at a
reasonable expense: but if done to
the best advantage it is very
necessary that everything be ready
in good season so that the work can
be pushed. Ordinarily there will be
enough to hinder without taking the
chances on anything that can be
avoided. journal of Agriculture.

Getting keady lOr Harvest.

After crop is grown it is quite
an item to harvest at the time and in
the manner best calculated to save in
the best possible condition. With
some crops like hay and small grain a
very little delay will often make a
very serious difference in the quality
OF the product. and of course in the
the value, as the quality with all
farm products is the measure Of
value The majority of farmers
reasonably expect to work little
harder during harvest than at almost
any other season but even this will
not answer to always secure the best
results unless proper care is taken to
prepare aheal so that the work can be

A GOOD AND SIMPLE RATION
FOR A STOCK BOAR.
Skim Milk and Meal Ration How to
Raise Turkeys-Getting Ready for
Harvest-Peaches on Heavy Soil

Feeding a Stock Boar.

The food for a stock boar is not an
elaborate ration. which only the few
may use. 1t is very simple; the op-
posite of that mysterious complexity
which many are apt to associate with
successful feeding. The individual
selected for stock purposes will have
learned to eat nicely before he is
taken from the sow. He will then
be put in quarters which are not con-
fined.
When from 10 to II weeks old,
says Canadian writer, the follow
ing rations will cause him to thrive
admirably if it can be secured for
him. viz: a good supply Of skim milk.
with meal ration composed of one
part ground rye, seven parts green
peas and sixteen parts shorts, The
meal may with profit be stirred
into the milk and fed in the form of
Cruel. When skim milk or butter
milk cannot be had Stops from the
house may be used; where peas can
not be had substitute corn, and
where shorts cannot be obtained use
ground oats.
The relative proportions OF the
grain substituted will remain the
same. Along with this ration green
food should be used in summer. such
as clover, peas and, in fact, anything
in the form of vegetation in a green
and succulent condition. In winter
some green food may be supplied in
the form of roots or corn ensilage.
The ringing of the boar should be de-
ferred as long as he remains tract
able. The exercise OF roofing will be
good for him while he is developing.
If he should be inclined to get too fat
the peas or corn ration may be re-
duced, but this is not likely to take
place where he is allowed plenty Of
freedom.
When he is we'll developed the
same ration essentially in kind may
be given him. but house Stops will
answer in lieu of the skim milk. A
tablespoonful of ground oil cake
given three or four times week has
good influence upon the digestive
organs, and now and then some char
coal or charred corn is thought to act
benefcially. In time of severe use
the food should be made stronger.
but great care should be taken to
avoid an over-fatty condition of the
system.
When the boar is kept strong and
vigorous, and in good condition as to
thrift. but yet not overloaded with
fat, the results are likely to prove
most satisfactory. 1t is equally hurt
full to rush the growth of the boar on
too rapidly when he is young. or to
hinder it by feeding him too lightly.
When conditions thus natural are
observed. and when the services re-
ouired are not undue, the usefulness
of the boar will continue for several
years.

CABOT.

Memorial week at Cabot was observed ia
about the usual manner this year May %
the Post and $. of Y, gathered at G. A. II.
hall and marched in a body to the NJ. E.
church where the sermon was given by the
pastor, Rev. j. O. Sherbunc, from II ChrOn
1O:1G: "And now David see to thine own
house. The theme was our national peril
from q selfish and devisve spirit against
such q spirit our boys contended in 1S61-65.
The sermon was very appropriate for the oc-
casion. The church was tastefully decorated
with flags and flowers. Marked attention
was given to the sermon, the choir render
ing fitting music.
Decoration Day dawned clear and faultless.
The Post and Relief Corps, with tie school
children, fQrmed in front of the NJ. f.. church,
at 10 a. m, and marched to the cemetery,
with the S. of Y. acting as an escort. The
different organizations formed around the
cenotaph and the beautiful service was read
by the commander and under officers. The
Post then broke ranks and decorated the
graves scattered about the cemetery; after
which they formed again and the s. of Y fired
a salute of three volleys. The procession
took up the line of march back to the church
and broke ranks, to meet again at 70 p. m,
to listen to the address. A. A. Niles, Esq, of
Morrisyille delivered the Memorial Day adj
dress at the church, where the decorations of
the previous Sabbath had been retained.
The address was largely a review of the gal
liant work done by the Vermont troops in
the war. The theme was ably discussed, and
it is to be doubted if many towns in the
State were favored with n more fitting and
able address. Although Comrade Niles stay
in Cabot was short he won the respect and
esteem of all. F. l.. KNAPP, Commander.
