Some New Suggestions Which May Prove
of Practical Benefit.
The subject of the making of vinegar
at home has been one which has been
discussed at some length, but perhaps
the experience given below may give
some new suggestions to the reader,
writes Jennie Kale in the House
keeper.
The old ways of making this article
which is fit for use on the table, by the
aid of molasses, or sugar and yeast. is
probab well known to all, also the
abominable way of making it with the
use of acids bought of druggists; but
an entirely, to me, new way, was dis
closed the other day. It was to take
a cabbage leaf and soak it in molasses,
lay in the bottom of a keg or crock, or
whatever is desired to use to hold the
vinegar, and then fill up with rain
water and set in a warm place till
ready for use.
The same person who told me of this
way also told me of another, which
was not made SO clear to me. but may
be familiar to others 1t was to pour
hot water over grape seeds, and when
they had soaked for some time till all
the juice was extracted to pour this
into an old vinegar key and set away
for some time, and the result is said to
be a nice vinegar of a beautiful red
color. My experience tells me that
honey is a good foundation for vinegar
IF given plenty of time. One thing
learned after long trials, and much
spelling of good vinegar, or what
would have been good vinegar if left
alone, and that is that it will not be
good vinegar till a mother" has
formed, and this forms on the top, like
blush scum, and when it becomes
thick enough. it will sink to the bot
tom. /, thinking this was mould, re-
moved it with a spoon, and it formed
again and was removed again, and my
vinegar was spoiled.
The quickest vinegar and the best I
ever made was from some over-ripe
fruit It was not in any way rotted, of
use to put up. l dropped each piece
into a crock and poured warm
soft water over them, till the crock
was well filled. This was set in
warm place, and in less than week it
had begun to form the mother"
An exchange says that the vinegar
made from the washings of jelly crooks
and dishes and such truck is more or
less dirt, but l think that any house
keeper who has her dishes clean and
clean water in her kettle, can, to ad-
vantage, use this otherwise waste ma
terial, and not have dirty vinegar.

MONEY IN TURKEYS.

suggestions Regarding the Feed and Care
of Young Birds.
If new blood were brought into the
Hook every year there would be fewer
complaints of young turkeys being
delicate. The truth is that these birds
have been too much inbred. The
easiest and quickest remedy for the
trouble is the introduction of wild
blood, which gives the desired stamina.
When the young turks are first
Matched they, like checkers. require no
food for the first twenty-four hours,
but the mother should be given little
corn to keep her on the nest. After
squeezed dry or bread dipped, but not
soaked, in milk or slightly moistened
with egg. Later on they may be given
scraps from the house, wheat, corn, bread
and green bone. Always feed on clean
board, and allow them as much as they
will eat up clean in the space of a
quarter of an hour. For the first three
weeks they should be fed three or four
times day; afterwards three times
daily will suffice. Of course they must
be supplied with plen ty of water and
gravel.
As soon as the turks seem strong and
the weather is bright and warm, they
may be allowed to ramble about, but
must be got home at night, or, in case
of shower. as damp is extremely fatal
to them. After they reach the stage
known as shooting the red," they are
hardy, and need but little attention.
But for the first three months they
need to be well cared for.
Lice are as fatal as damp to young
birds. AS soon as they are Matched,
the hen should be examined for lice,
which are certain to be transmitted to
the young ones. The large lice will be
found on the head, neck, under the
wing and also on the flight feathers
around the quilts on the wing. A little
oil or melted grease should be we'll
rubbed in and the hen thoroughly
busted with snuff or insect powder.
The same should be done to the turks
when they are about a week old. and a
drop of oil rubbed on their heads.
This should be applied with discretion,
as too much grease is fatal to them.
Turkeys are great foragers, and cam
not be kept in confinement. After the
first three months they should be given
absolute freedom. About month be-
fore marketing they should be fed lib
orally with as much corn as they will
eat. Old corn should always be used,
as green corn is indigestible and often
retards fattening, if it does not cause
actual loss.-N. Y. World.

Raising sheep for Mutton.

The mutton breeds of sheep grow so
faEidly compared with scrubs as to al
itust surprise those who have not used
them. Such breeds as the Oxford
Downs, Shropshires and Hampshire
Downs will gain from IL ounces to a
pound a day the first year. if forced by
high feeding. 1t has been demon
strated by act-ial tests that lambs can
be made to attain 100 pounds live
weight when 100 days old, and indi-

gaining as much as possible, have
reached $40 pounds when / year old.

He went to bed one night about six years

The interviewer sought out Mr.. Ware to
