WHITE TURKEYS.

This beautiful breed is probably more common in the South of Europe than elsewhere. At all our first-class shows few are to be met with, but they lack the size of Bronze American and Cam bridge Bronze. Those who breed them declare that the flesh is the finest of all in flavor, and l recently met lady o breeds both Bronze and White turkeys, and she declares that her husband, a well-known Midland baronet, will not have the former, and can at once dis tinguish them upon the table. This nay be partly prediliction, but he evi dently knows the difference and is strong in his preferance. A good White tur- key is very handsome, and he has all the qualities of his race. Personally I believe that the better quality is scarcely due so much to breed as to size, for the big birds are coarser in flesh and lack that fine flavor which characterizes small or medium sized turkeys. It would hardly do to apply this theory all round, for then we should have to alter many ideas and aims, but in poultry it is true. The biggest fowls are never the best, and frequently the largest eggs lack that flavor which is found in small CT ones. Weight therefore, should only have it's due influence. Country Gentleman.

DRAFTS IN CHICKEN-HoUSEs.

Only last week had another example of an erroneous idea, which is to be met with on all sides, namely, that fowls should have as much air as can be given to them. A large chicken-house had been built, but all the boards were placed quarter to half an inch apart, and the perches and boards were so that drafts could not fail to sweep over the birds. A more fatal policy could scarce ly be imagined, and it was not at all sur- prising that they were doing badly. We believe in fresh air and plenty of it, but rightly applied, by which we mean that there shall be circulation of air above the fowls, so as to carry away the carbonie acid and substitute for it pure air. This can bring no evil in it's train, and goes far to maintain fowls in health. But it would be far better to al- low birds to roost out in the open, where they might have to contend against cold wind, but no draft, than to be in such creations as noted above. This, how ever, is an isolated case, and we are frequently meeting with similar exper- fences, showing that correct idea has been grasped but applied in wrong way.-[Country Gentleman.

ization of society says: ssThere are cer- tain outward conditions, certain forms of social organization, which tend to en- phasize and promote the worth and goodness of men themselves; and there are other outward conditions which tend to belittle and discourage personal worth and goodness. There is a social philos- ophy, an economical philosophy, which disparages and ignores character; it gets itself incorporated into outward condi- tions; it makes the problem of arousing and developing men themselves very difficnlt business" And his conclusion is that, "The Christian people of this country are called to rule, great curse will rest on them and on the land if they come short of their high calling. If they are to rule, they must know how to rule. Not only the office holders, but the people also m ust know how to rule
 There is right way to rule a state as there is right way to sail ship or to plant field, and the Christian people must learn that way, and practice it."

 The moonlight evenings have departed. but still we notice that great number of the street lamps are not lighted, and we also notice that great number of the lamps are without globes, this being due to ordinary breakage, or carelessness of some boys. Why not start fund to help those who are unable to pay for Q new globe. Probably this would add a great deal to the appearance of our street.

HAPPENING POULTRY.

Reference has previously been made
 to the poultry establishment of c. E.
 Brooke, Master of the Poulterers' Com-
 pany of London, which is situated at
 Baynards on the Surrey and Sussex bor-
 der. MT Brooke is one of the largest
 salesmen in the city of London, and, as
 might be expected, looks at this ques-
 tion from the practical point of view.
 He has succeeded in turning out some of
 the finest dead poultry we have seen
 this country. The following notes from
 small pamphlet written by him en-
 titled "Poultry Keeping on Practical
 and Profitable Basis,'' will show the sys-
 tenn adopted: For fattening fowls for
 market, l would recommend the use of barred coop, about three feet long by two in height and in depth, for 12 birds
 These should be selected when three months old in summer, and four months and upwards in winter. Birds of a
 feather they must be, i. Q, having been
 reared together, lest in the coop they disagree. Ground oats mixed with milk in moderately liquid state, will fatten them in fortnight. Do not forget the fresh water or the turf, which, like the occasional supply of sand and gravel. may be placed on ledge or in trough, in front of the coop. Near the border the birds should have bar on which they may perch while feeding. The
 coops, especially during the examining process, must be covered with mating or sacks, and under shelter. Mutton fat. chopped fine and boiled with the milk, will be good ingredient " ith the ground oats or buckwheat, and the food is then administered in small doses or ''crama'' which are helped down to the crop. This process is repeated morning and evening. I need not here describe the various cramming machines used by
 those who can afford them. The danger of the fowl becoming crop bound may
 be obviated on the recurrence of the sec ond meal time by forcing some warm
 gruel or warm water down the gullet,
 and thus softening what remains in the
 crop. The bird, after digestion is con- PiSbCs may Di1SA oC 4cu UGIOTG. ADUuC
 three weeks of this treatment would suf-
 flee, and the bird should be made to
 fast for at least 12 hours before it is
 killed-a precaution which will permit
 of it being kept the longer before cook
 ing. It is better and easier 70 pluck
 fowl when it is still warm, and this is
 alsoaan additional guarantee of fresh-
 ness.-[S. B. in Country Gentleman.

II by ouI ncSlcCb biie CIVIL authority SHall fall into the hands of the ungodly and lawless? St Paul says, ssThe powers that be are ordained of God" The prin- ciples of good government are of divine authority, hence it is every mans duty to vote for and fight for if necessary, the righteous administration of the law of the state, for the safety and welfare of society. If politics is abused and cor rupted then it is every mans duty to try to redeem it from the curse of the law.
 EVEN THE WORD POLITICS
 needs to be regenerated by the persistent use of it in it's nobler and better meaning. The base and narrow sense in which it is so often used shows but too effectually the depths of it's degradation. Let us look at the original definition of the word: "The science or practice of gov ernment, the regulation and government of nation or state for the preservation of it's safety, peace, and prosperity. Politics in it's widest extent, is both the science and the art of government, or the science whose subject is the regulation of man in all his relations as the mem- bers of a state, and the application of this science. In other words, it is the theory and practice of obtaining the ends of civil society as perfectly as possible"
 Samuel is the great divine example of true politician and statesman. His ap- peal was to God and the loyalty of the people. More sacred than any form of government to him, was the divine law of life by which we must all live, in obe- dience or disobedience-in happiness or in misery.
 The law of God is the law of our own created nature, and whether in this life or in any other life the law of God must be the rule of our supreme good, in the conduct of life. The man who does evil can but injure his own soul and be the cause of harm to others. It matters little who rules if we do not govern ourselves by that law which is the righteousness of God. And still in the nature of the case, good government is of the highest im- portance because as the great apostle says: "For rulers are Lot a terror to good works, but to the evil" Samuel was divinely instructed to warn the peo- pie of the consequence of their choice to be governed by a king rather than to govern themselves by the commandments and statutes and judgements of God. It was nothing less than their own volun- tary submission to the tyranny of des- potic rule which. they demanded. Therefore ''the Lord said unto Samuel, all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have re- jected me, that l shall not reign over them"

AND THE LORD SAID

to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel. Goye every man unto his own city.' And so Saul was king. And then in the 12th chapter we find the personal example of Samuel set before us and witnessed by all the people, as expressed in our text, ssAnd Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that you said unto me, and have made a king over you. And now, behold, the king walketh before you and am old and grayheaded and, behold, nay sons are with you; and have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. Behold, here I am; witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed :; whose OK have taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have defrauded? whom have oppressed? or of whose hand have received any bribe to blind mine eyes herewith and I will restore it you.
 And they said, Thou hast not defraud- ed nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any mans hand.
 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. 7
