MANAGEMENT OF TURKEYS.
The Practical Experience of Woman
Who Has Tried 1t.

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, is
the road to success in the raising of
turkeys. Then, of whichever breed is
preferred, select vigorous stock. She
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
are 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 a 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 gang of turkeys peeping around
is q menace to the household. They
mover grow half as large as those that
range with the turkey hens, and If
they grow at all they eat their heads OF
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 a
rain.
Never pen turkey hens and their lit
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 a
day for the next week or two according
to the weather. Feed just corn bread
made with milk and eggs so it will be
light. Then feed them once 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 a 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 a question for persons
to settle in their own minds whether or
not it 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,

KITCHEN LORE.
Some Fresh Hints for the Culinary De-
partment.

Some Fresh Hints for the Culinary De-
partment.
There are no cooking utensils better
adapted to light housekeeping than
those of aluminium. They are so light
even in the large pieces that practical
ly no strength is expended in lifting
them; they are so thin that food is
cooked in them more quickly than in
ordinary utensils, and they are easily
kept clean and shining without scour-
ing. In using tin one has constantly
to be on the lookout for the corrosive
action of acids, or food is easily
scorched.
A better way to peel ripe tomatoes
than that commonly used is to put
them into frying basket, and plunge
the basket n second into boiling water
to loosen the skins This is particular
ly the best way to do when one is pre-
pairing quantity of tomatoes, and
wishes to keep them all firm and hard.
If boiling water is poured over them
in a pan, the tomatoes at the bottom
are quite sure to become soft before
they are peeled.
An excellent cottage pudding with
an apple filling, made by Swedish
cook, consists of a plain light cake
made in two layers, with thick layer
of tart apples peeled and grated spread
between. With these apples are mixed
the whites of two eggs, beaten to a
stiff froth, two teasp oonfuls of vanilla
and sugar to taste.
Rice and cheese are very good with
roast beef. They are cooked in much
the same way as we commonly pre-
pare macaroni and cheese. Boil the
rice until tender in sailed water,
drain dry, then put in baking-dish
alternate layers of the rice and grated
cheese. The layers of cheese should
not be more than sprinkling. Sea-
son with salt and little butter, cover
with sweet milk. sprinkle with fine
bread crumbs, and brown.
That despised dish beef la mode
may be made really delicious, especial
ly for a cold meal, if seasoned with
variety of suitable condiments
Rub the beef, which should be
from the round, with salt
and fine spices. Put skewers
across the bottom OF your saucepan,
and cover them we'll with thin slices of
bacon. Lay the meat on these, cover
with more sliced bacon, and two-thirds
of a cupful of vinegar cover tightly,
and simmer two hours. Then season
to taste with few whole cloves, pep
per, two bay-leaves, mushrooms, half
cupful of tomato catsup, and n small
sliced onion. Simmer in this gravy
until the meat is tender, adding a
little stock if the gravy cooks away so
much that there is any danger to the
meat being dry. If cooked TO be eaten
only when cold, strain this gravy and
boil it down, then spread the meat with
it.-N. Y. Post.

HOW TO KILL CHICKENS.
"A New Process Which is Being Adopted
nyar E,,rona

"A New Process Which Is Being Adopted
All Over Europe.
A novel method of killing chickens is
being introduced abroad. Instead of
sticking, bleeding, cutting the head off,
ETC., one takes the fowl in the left hand
by the legs, catching the points of the
wings to prevent the fowl from Tapping.
He lifts the fowl up, the head hanging
downward. With the right hand he
takes the head, catching the neck be-
tween the first and third fingers, the
thumb being on the face. The fingers
must not crush the head, but must feel
the bone at the back of the head firmly
Death is caused by lifting the left hand
and pulling down the right with quick
jerk, thereby dislocating the neck at
the very point where it joins the head.
Death is instantaneous if done prop
erly, which can be told by feeling the
neck, which ought to be quite soft and
entirely detached from the head, so that
there is nothing but flesh and skin be-
tween the thumb and finger. By this
method there is no flow of blood, but
the blood is allowed to run into the
head, which is carefully kept hanging
down until afteg. the biPd isglpqAed. f

Keep 1t Pure by Arranging the Well Curb
rs Here Described.
The purity of the family water sup
ply is of the highest Importance. To
secure this let no impurities remain on
the ground anywhere in the vicinity of
the well. Keep out the surface water
by rounding up the earth about the
well. Lay up tight brick or stone
wall to the top of the ground and lay
the curb on this, cementing joins to
keep bugs and mice out. Put in box,
with opening covered with wire mos
quito netting, for ventilator, and the
water will be kept pure. All these points
are shown in the illustration, but
special stress may be laid upon the
point Of rounding up the earth about
the well. Too often one sees heavy
