Fattening Christmas Turkeys.

As a morning feed for fattening tur-
keys f. J. Marshall says that he would
use warm mash made Of boiled poo
tatoes, mashed and thickened with meal
made OF equal parts corn, oats and
wheat bran, enough hot milk added to
take in about as much Of the meal as
potatoes. Feed as warm as possible
not to burn them. IL is advisable to
feed a little linseed meal in this mash
but il must be done with care. not to
get too much in, which will cause them

bucketful of the warm feed put i'm Of the
meal just about what one can hold in
the hand and close il up, increasing il
gradually until about double that
amount is used. and feed ii every morn
ing. Feed three times a day At noon
feed a mash of meal made Of all corn
thickened with milk, If you have il; if
not, use hot water, and season well with
pepper and salt. Make il quite thick
not sloppy
Meat in some form should be fed I'm
this feed at noon; beef scraps or beef
or hog lungs chopped fine enough to be
readily swallowed. and mixed well
through the feed. Feed i'm clean trogghts

At night feed whole corn, good and

In regard TO penning them up that
depends upon the dispositions OF your
turkeys. If they stay at home and do
not seem inclined TO roam about any,
let them have their liberty: but if they
are accustomed to travelling all over
the fields and woods and rambling all
day, they will run off as much flesh as
you can put on. In that case / would

kind does very well; In fact they do

The Novice ON the Farm.

Many town people have a longing for
a home on a farm. but fear that they
would make a failure at farming. The
following cautions and advice from the
pen OF Waldo Brown are good:
Two points must be observed IL the
novice would expect success: First, the
farm must be so managed as to furnish,
far possible. the family supplies.
and. second, until one has learned what
income the farm can be depended en- to
produce the expenses must be kept at a
minimum. The mistake too often made
by the beginner I'm farming is 10 under

with debt. My advice Is 10 make IL the

RECORDER cARsoN,s DEATH.
1t Came ns Surprise 10 His Many
Friends.

The death Of Peter Carson, county re-
corder came unexpectedly 10 his family.
notwithstanding he had for a long time
been in poor health. He was at the re-
corder's office last Monday and con-
versed pleasantly with a Sentinel re-

did not retire TO his bed. but devoted
most of the day TO reading. Wednesday

spasm. He recovered from this. but
shortly after lepsed into a second con-
vulsion. followed by a third i'm which
he died before his physician, DIR. Cum

About four months ago Or. Cunning

troubled with progressive paresis. Just
previous to his last attack his mind be-
came so badly confused that he was

A Babcock Milk Test.

The Babcock milk test came at a
time when the very life of factory dairy
ing was threatened. Patrons were deliv-
ering milk in the creamery and receiv-
ing pay for it by the hundred-weight
regardless of what it contained Such
a system tended TO make men dishonest
in every possible direction. A CORE
spondent who patronized a factory wrote
to the Gazette a couple of years since
inquiring about feed for his cows. say
ing that he did not care TO produce rich
milk, as milk was bought by weight ana
not quality. Dairymen were buying
COWS that gave the largest flow or milk
even though it was mostly water. The
man who could skim or water and not
get caught was just so much ahead.
Factory dairying stood apart from every
other industry, quality and honesty re-
ceiving no reward. With the adoption
of the test patrons are turning about
face and beginning to be dairymen and
milk producers in earnest. Men are
more careful with their COWS in feeding
and breeding. They soon learn that it
is not the man that has the most milk
that necessarily receives the most
money. but the one that delivers the
most fat at the factory There is now
reward for intelligence and well-dlrected
effort and patrons are not slow in seeing
ii and taking new interest in their work.
Already in all progressive communities
the Babcock milk test is doing its work
quietly but with marked efficiency.
Much as it has accomplished it has occu-
pied but the smallest fraction of its
proper field in the great dairy industry.
This little machine was the invention
of one of the leading dairy authorities

agricultural experiment stations and

our experiment stations may do for the
farmer provided they study his wants
and interest themselves in the living
questions of the day.-Breeders' Gazette.

a combination of the middlemen and the

TO pay almost as much per pound as

rest has caused sensation. She had ar
ranged to sail for Europe on Wednesday,
but will be detained until after the hear
ing. She is said to be worth from SSO0,00

France and Siam.

LONDON, Aug 3.-Sir Edward Grey, par-
lamentary secretary Of the foreign Office,
announced in the house Of commons yes
terday afternoon that the French blockade
Of Bangkok bad been raised.
Immediately after Sir Edward had made
the announcement that the blockade had
been raised Sir Richard Temple, Conserya-
tive, asked for information as TO certain
points Of the Franco-Siamese dispute. lie
said that there was an impression in many
quarters that British diplomacy had re-
ceived check in the negotiations carried
on by France and Great Britain Siam, he
added, had been treated in "a hard man
ner, and British interests had not been
safeguarded.
Hon. George M. Curzon, Conservative,
said he doubted Frances intention to exc
cute her pledge to preserve the integ-
rity of Siam. France had acted In most
arbitrary manner from the very outset Of
the trouble, and had shown scant consid-
GRAFTON for her victim The assurances
given by France to England have not been
kept, Mr.. Curzon concluded by declaring
that the foreign office was on trial at the
bar Of public opinion.
Sir Richard Grey reproached Mr.. Cur
son with trying to embarrass the govern
ment while negotiations Of a most delicate
character were pending. The position OF
affairs, he said, required him TO still main
tain considerable reserve He was conf
