MANAGEMENT OF TURKEYS.

The Practical Experience of Woman
Who Has Tried 1t.
Writing on the management of tur-
keys lady correspondent of the
Practical Farmer is very practical.
She says that unlimited range, where
they can do no injury to gardens, il
the road to success in the raising OF
turkeys. Then, of whichever breed is
preferred, select vigorous stock. She
prefers the Mammoth Bronze or White
Holland to other varieties. Then have
them tame, so their eggs can be pro-
cured without having to hunt for their
nests, as in the latter case half of them
will never be found. About three hens
ara as few and ten as many as it pays to
Keep with one gobbler. This is owing
to the time one can spend to look after
them and the kind and size of range
they have to ramble over with their
young. She prefers wheat or oats
stubble opening out to prairies or hills.
BY all means raise the young ones with
the turkey hens. An old chicken hen
with a gang of turkeys peeping around
is a menace to the household. They
never grow half as large as those that
runge with the turkey hens, and il
they grow at all they eat their heads oil
twice over. She always sets chicken
hen when she sets the turkey hen, plac.
ing about eighteen eggs under the tur.
key and nine or ten under the chicken
hen. Then when all are Matched, she
gives all to the turkey hen. She will
then have fine brood large enough for
her to hover at night and during Q
rain.
Never pen turkey hens and their lii.
tie ones, as is sometimes advised, but
look after them tenderly for the first
months of their lives, feed them light
bread and milk or hard-boiled eggs for
a week, three times day, then twice q
day for the next week or two according
to the weather. Feed just corn bread
made with milk and eggs 80 it will be
light. Then feed them once a day
cheese curd, mashed potatoes, corn
bread, or most any thing they will eat,
just to keep them SO they will not grow
SO wild, until they are six weeks old.
Then if they have been on a good range
they will be fully feathered out to
stand rain without shelter, except
what they naturally seek under trees,
and can take care of themselves until
time to sell them in fall. Where there
are large wild animals, such as wolves,
foxes, etc., it is question for persons
to settle in their own minds whether or
not 1t will pay to raise turkeys, consid.
ering the low prices that have prevailed
the last two years. This lady's expert.
ence has proven to her that they are the
very hardest of poultry, despite all les.
sons to the contrary.

Dry Dirt and Leaves for Poultry.

The best work that can be done for
the fowls in the fall is to lay in supply
of leaves and dry dirt under shelter.
It Is scratching in she winter that
keeps the hens in best laying condi.
ton, and when the snow is on the
ground pile of dirt and leaves in the
poultry house will afford an oppor-
tunity for exercise, and greatly tend
to make the hens more eontented in
confinement. Too many leaves cannot
be put away. They will be found very
useful, and will also assist in retain
ing warmth in the poultry house by
preventing cold drafts of air along the

Mark Twain's Debt Paying Tour.

In the heroic resolve to spin from
his, brain the money necessary to wipe
out great accumulation Of debt Mark
Twain has two notable examples. One
was Sir Walter Scott, who, when an
old man, undertook to pay and did &C.
tually pay to the last farthing load of
debt under which the hearts of most
men 80 years younger would have
quailed. The strain killed him. how
ever. The other example is that of brave
Susan B. Anthony in our own country.
When The Revolution, suffrage paper
established by herself, Parker Pillsbury
and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
failed, it was $4,000 behind. That
sum Miss Anthony took on herself to
pay. Thirty years ago $4,000 was as
much as $4,000 would be now. There
were not SO many people in the country
to go to lectures, and the facilities for
getting about were much poorer than
they are now. Yet Miss Anthony perse-
vered in her heroic endeavor till the last
dollar of the obligation was met and
she walked the earth a free woman.
Success will certainly attend the great
American hnmorist, all the more as he
has the best wishes Of civilized man
kind with him. Through Australia,
India and South Africa he will go
wherever people have laughed till they
cried over the "Innocents Abroad and
'"Tom Sawyer. Then next year be will
come home and tour his own country.
In four years he expects to have met all
his obligations, after which, at the age
of 81, says Mark, Il can make q fresh
and unincumbered start in life" Good
luck attend him wherever he goes

The Most Fertile Counties.

Some statistics lately published in re-
gard to the leading agricultural counties
of this Union will be a surprise to those
who talk Of the wornout farms of the
east. In the scale Of money yielding fer
tillty the wheat and corn growing re-
gions of the west are far down when
shown up against five counties in three of
the original Is colonies of America.
The comparison is made by the
amount Of money realized in the coun-
ties for agricultural productions last
year. The banner county is Lancaster.
Pa, which yielded in round numbers
So, o0o,ooo worth of agricultural prod
pcts. The second richest county is St.
Lawrence, N. Y, with $6,O00,0OO,
though St. Lawrence county is three
times as large as Lancaster The third
richest county is Chester, Pa, while
the fourth most productive is found no.
where else than in Massachusetts,. It is
Worcester. Pennsylvania again steps
up with the fifth county, Bucks. The
most productive county in the whole
western, middle and southern portions
OF the Union is Colusa, CAL, whose az.
ricultural yield last year amounted to
$6,soo,ooo.
The most significant fact in connec-
tion with the figures is that counties
which raise diversified crops and live
stock are richer than those combining
themselves to single crops.
