How wild Turkeys Foraee.

A writer thus describes troop of
wild turkeys on marsh in Missouri:
He said they started out in the morn
ing like regiment Of soldiers taking
the fields and woods and everything
that came before them, each turkey
marching perhaps ten feet from it's
neighbor. They went away every
morning and usually came in an hour
before shutdown, keeping up the same
line Of march in all their raids. About
an hour before shutdown they emerged
from the woods, in a long line, all
abreast. AS they went over the pas
ture lot every cricket, grasshopper.
bug and worm was pretty sure to be
detected by their keen, sharp eyes.
and you could see them do their work
as they moved forward. OF course
they got into the corn fields some, but
it is generally considered that they do
enough good in their march to atone
for the corn they take, for corn is
cheap down in Missouri.

A Cure for Cholera.

Ed Girardin, Wisconsin: The surest.
quickest way to get rid of cholera is
to kill all the sick fowls and burn the
remains, or else bury deep, having
first covered them with Quicklime;
then clean up the quarters and burn
the matter gathered. When you have
got the quarters as clean as possible.
close them up tight and put a pound
Of sulphur in an old kettle. pour On
half a pint of alcohol, and have it
where you can reach it from the door.
set fire to it, close the door, and leave
it to burn out. Do not have any fowls
in the house during the burning
Wherever the sick fowls have left
their droppings, wet the ground thor
oughly with copperas disinfectant and
scatter lime freely. Do this daily as
long as the cholera remains on the
premises. Give the flock pulverized
charcoal Tablespoonful to pint of food,
three or four times a week, and once
IN every two or three days add five
drops of carbolic acid to a quart of
water and use it to mix their food
with; also, until after the cholera has
disappeared. give Douglass Mixture
daily in their drink.
Douglass Mixture is made as fol-
lows: Dissolve a pound Of copperas in
two gallons Of water; then add two
ounces Of sulphuric acid. Put in stone
jug and keep we'll corked. The dose
is a tablespoonful to each quart of
drinking water. When handling the

H0gging Down.

Those who take the trouble to read
the very exhaustive crop report of.
Illinois, published under the date Of
June 20, will be struck by the extent
to which wheat fields and Oat fields
are this year abandoned to the hogs In
that state, and, to considerable extent,
this will prevail elsewhere.
Where the crop is cut, it is still quite
common to turn the hogs into the stub
bic field and let them hustle for liv-
ing, Notwithstanding the fact that the
conditions are very different from
those that existed when the practice Of
making the hog a cleaner originated.
The stubble field that is cut with an
improver reaper affords thin picking,
as compared with the old-time stub
BILE field. Shade is absent and the heat
is oppressive and while the older ami
mails may worry through without
much loss, the spring pigs often suffer
severely. ~ =, II.
When a crop Of wheat that 1t does
not pay to cut is turned over to the
hogs, the case is different Then the
feed afforded is ample, and it is, per-
haps, the most profitable disposition
that can be made of q crop that has
failed to repay harvesting.
The change to the wheat or oat field,
however, should be made gradually,
by cutting and feeding for few days,
and in almost every instance special
pains will have to be taken to provide
plenty of good, clean water as 1t is not
usually found in the field, and may be
forgotten. The fields are. also, so ex-
posed, as a rule, that provision of some
kind Of temporary shade under which
the hogs can take refuge during the
hottest portion Of the day, is one of
the essentials Of the reasonable care
necessary to keep the animals in
healthy. thriving condition.-Iowa

Some Garden Pointers.

Save the soap suds for, the garden.
They make an excellent fertilizer for
tomatoes, and should not Be thrown
away. - Sfss
If, when the turnips come up, they
are too thick to make a good growth
thin them out. Unless this Is done. the
crop will be failure. 500
A good fertilizer for the garden is
said to be one bushel Of wood ashes,
in which has been mixed Ave pounds
of nitrate of soda. We should think
this would make a good combination.
When onions get ripe their tops
break down, and they should be pulled
and carefully dried and stored away,
or wet weather may cause them to
make second growth or rot, either of
which would spoil them.
If the tomatoes show a disposition
to rot on the vine, pick off every one
that has spot on it and throw it
away, as it serves as a center of in
lection. Some varieties are worse in
this respect than others and should
not be planted
The United States plants nearly q
million acres more to potatoes than
Great Britain does, vet the latter coun-
try raises the most bushels. This
shows the difference between thor
ough work and the average American
style of spreading out over wide
area and sighting the cultivation.
Watch the squash vines and If any
Of them show disposition to droop,
you may be sure there are borers in
the stalk at the root. Scrape away
the soil and look for holes, and when
found split the vine with thin-bladed
knife, as carefully as possible, and dig
out the borers. Then return the soil,
heaping it over the vine ct the base
and the splitting will not hurt it.

Summer Msnuring of Pastures.

Good barnyard manure applied right
after the meadows and pastures are
mown in the summer give very bene-
hclal results. 1t can be hauled out
from the yards and stables in August
or September, and spread over the
stubble. The earlier after the mead
oWs are mown the better, and where
they are cut in early July the work
can be done proftably then. Thin
pastures will also be greatly improved
Dy midsummer manuring, and
where the grass has been very thin at
cutting 1t is an easy matter then to
apply the manure where most needed.
BY following this method up system
atlcally patchy meadow land can be
made even and regular. So believes
the American Cultivator.
Even strawy manure that has not
been entirely composted will give good
results. The straw protects the roots
OF the grass from the hot sun, and
helps to retain the moisture in the
soil after each shower. About ten
good loads of manure to the acre ap-
piled several years in succession will
make such difference in the yield
Manure applied in the fall, and then
narrowed over lightly, will tend to
make new grass seeds sprout at once,
and on the whole the pastures seem
to be benefited by this narrowing, es-
pecially If a rain follows right after
1t. By applying the manure in this
way late in the summer it does not in
terfere with the next seasons crop of
hay, but rather tends to increase it's
yield. OF course, it keeps the cattle
of the pasture for time, and this
certainly should be done for few
weeks In midsummer anyway. Pas
turing stock on the meadows right
after moving, when the soil is dry
and the sun very hot, Is the surest
way to run out a good piece Of grass
land. After moving the land it needs
a rest, and q little stimulating then
will help matters a great deal. =.
BY handling our hay fields in this
way we can crop them more years in
succession than if we neglect them.
Six successive crops Of good timothy
OF the hay field is something unusual,
and yet that Is just what this system
will do every time. The question is
whether the labor of spreading the
manure in late summer will not pay
II SUCH results are obtainable.
This year hay is apparently going to
be high. Already prices are tending
upward, and holders are keeping their
old stock for further advances. The
coming crop will not be a large one
unless more rain falls. We have had
