REARING TURKEYS.
Allow Plenty OF Liberty, as Confinement
Kills Young Birds.

Allow Plenty OF Liberty, as Confinement
Kills Young Birds.
1t is best to confine the brood for a
week -. least after Matching. Should
the mother hen then become restless,
she may be let out during the middle
of the day. As the turkey retires
early and dislil1es being disturbed after
settling down for the night, be sure
The young turkeys will eat but little
the first week. Feed separate from the
mother, for she will devour all the
focd within reach. For downright
greediness, an old turkey hen has few
equals. Dry bread soaked in sweet
milk is one of the best foods for the
young, as is curd from fresh butter
milk. A whole flock has been raised
on warm curd. A custard made of one
egg to pint of milk, thickened with
bread tho sugar., is a good food. When
about two months old, feed whole
wheat part of the time and mix corn
meal with their feed; this should not
be fed exclusively Allow plenty of
liberty. as confinement will kill young
turkeys. When the mother hen be-
gins tramping wildly from one side Of
the coop to the other, better let her
ont unless the weather is unfavorab BILE.
When about the size of cartridges
and old enough to follow the mother
in long rambles, the young will need
but little attention, simply little feed
morning and evening. They much
prefer bugs, grasshoppers, insects and
seeds to a more civilized ration. Do
not neglect to bring them home at
night and put under shelter until old
enough to fly into trees and care for
themselves. Turkeys do not always
select wisely the best resting place for
the night, hence vermin sometimes at
tack and annoy them. Teach them to
come at the sound of your voice; it will
save many a weary tramp in searching
woods and fields.
Six weeks time is sufficient to fatten
for market. Feed twice a day all the
whole corn they will eat, but do not
attempt confinement, as a turkey
chafes under restraint and will lose
flesh rather than fatten. They will
not take more exercise than is neces-
sary to keep in good health.-Mrs.

be greatly improved by using a Picking
drake. Their white, elastic feathers,
largely mixed with down, are almost
as plentiful as those of the goose, and
form an important source of revenue
when the birds are raised in large num-
bers.
Duck culture is business that is
rapidly extending, especially on Long
Island, where the duck farms are grow
ing in size and numbers. The circurn-
stance that the Picking is the favorite
breed among all the large duck farm

with others, proves conclusively their
belief in its superior merits.-N. Y.

What He supposed.

The efforts of certain literary man
to turn himself into successful "hen
farmer" on an estate of two acres,
afford his agricultural neighbors some
excitement, and no end of amusement.
1t is credibly related that during the
first year of his poultering the anna.
teur farmer discovered that all his lit
tie chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing and dying.
He went over all his books to see If he
could find what allied them, but in vain.
At last he called in one of his neigh
bors, and, showing him the thin and
weak surviving chicks, asked:
'What do you suppose is the matter
with those chickens?"
well, / dunno" said the farmer.
"What do you feed 'em?"
Feed them? Why, don't feed them
anythingl"

The Picking breed natures earlier

them valuable for market at this age.
They are hardy, easy to raise, fine for
the table and good layers of large white
eggs. They grow rapidly, and do well
when there Is no water. They are not
as tractable as the Rouen or Aylesbury,

SIMPLE DRAPERiES.
Tasteful Furnishing That Finds Equal Ia

Time was-and not very many years in
the past-when draperies, as now seen in

Among the most simple and popular of

used, entering not only into the furnish

less pretcntlous of city houses, but being
frequently, with ladies of refined taste,
the preference above the cheaper grades of
lace for the under curtains of bedrooms,
boudoirS and the usual haunts of the wom-
en- of the household. A favorite finish Of
the cottage muslin hangincs is a tlutCd
rufile, but they are sometimes only hem

used for looping the curtains back, whilo

varicolorcd oval beads which is sent out

came from his reticcnco during the cOun-

the others had to say, smoking his cigar
and occasionally taking ii drink as this
hospitablC refrCshmcnt might be passed
around. Then, when tho talk was all over
and every one had expressed his opinion
US to what should be DONE Grant would
leave the tent and go to RaWlins, his chief
of staff, and begin issuing orders. Nc one
know to what decision he had arrived, and
they would have no idea what the next
movement was to be until their orders
we're received. Especially to General John
i. Logan, who commanded the division of
which my regiment was part after Nc
Iherson was killed, was this trait vi
Grant a trial
"D-n it Gll!' Logan would say in his
impetuous way. IF Grant would only
