Suggestions Regarding the Feed and Care
of Young Birds.

Suggestions Regarding the Feed and Care
of Young Birds.
If new blood were brought into the
flock 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 chickens, require no
food for the first twenty-four hours,
but the mother should be given a little
corn to keep her on the nest, After
wards feed them some milk curd
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
andgreen bone. Always feed on clean
board, and allow them as much as they
will eat up clean in the space of
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 a 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.
Bat 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 fight 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
drop of oil rubbed on their heads.
This should be applied with discretion,
as too much grease is fatal to them.

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.

Stylish Fabrics for Fall Costumes for the
Ladies.
Rough-surfaced woolens are inn
ported for the first autumn gowns
These come with knotted bourette
threads and in boucle effects in loops
Of mohair; also in irregular weaving
SO open that it seems too sleazy and
light for winter gowns. This light
weight is, however, well considered in
view of the heavy silk Innings and 9TH
err accessories of soft wooden skirts
New Scotch tweeds are a melange of
colors without the suggestions of
checks used in summer tweeds. The
quiet and grave grounds of brown,
gray, or mixed black and white, are
enlivened by occasional threads of
bright green, vivid red or glowing
orange.
One of the most novel effects among
the importations is a wool fabric re-
sembling Turkish towelling, the
threads projecting from the surface
very thickly, and divided by stripes or
slender lines of plush, or velvet placed
an inch and half apart. These are
very attractive in violet or damson
shades striped with bright green veil
vet, or in golden brown wool with dull
green plush lines That there may be
variety in winter outfits some very
soft and fine camel's-hair twills are inn
ported in plaids not too large, and
usually of single color, mordore,
prune or green with black. Other twills
of dark ground have a design of dia-
monds, or of stripes in black mohair
loops that are as glossy as silk. Medi.
terranean blue with black, plum color
and black and the popular green or
brown with black are the combinations
most used in these boucle woods. -Far-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HOMEMADE VINEGAR.

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
probably 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. 1t was to take
q cabbage leaf and soak it in molasses,
lay in the bottom of 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 keg and set away
for some time, and the result is said to
be nice vinegar of a beautiful red
color. My experience tells me that
honey is 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 spoon, and it formed
again and was removed again, and my
vinegar was spoiled.
The quickest vinegar and the best !
ever made was from some over-ripe
fruit. 1t was not in any way rotted, of
course, but it was too ripe to be of any
use to put up. I dropped each piece
into a crock and poured warm
soft water over them, till the crock
was well filed. This was set in a
warm place, and in less than a 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 I 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,
either.

Raisinr sheep for Mutton.

The mutton breeds of sheep grow so
rapidly compared with scrubs as to al
most surprise those who have not used
them. Such breeds as the Oxford
Downs, Shropshires and Hampshire
Downs will gain from 10 ounces to a
pound a day the first year, if forced by
high feeding. 1t has been demon
strated by actual tests that lambs can
be made to attain 100 pounds live
weight when 100 days old, and indi-
vidual rams, fed for the purpose OF
gaining as much as possible, have
reached a7o pounds when I year old.
Aram was exhibited at the Centennial
exposition that weighed <2s pounds

CORN CUTTER.

cred. There are machines that do the
work expeditiously by horse power,
but in many cases these are entirely
out of the question and hand-cutter
has to be employed. A good one is
shown in our illustration, taken from
the Ohio Farmer. The edge half of the
blade is corrugated-crimped by being
passed fatwise between two ridged
rollers-and the blade is ground to an
edge from one side only. The result
of this is an edge serrated and toothed
like saw, but the cutting edge of
each tooth is smooth like that of a
knife, and the blade can be sharpened
on a grindstone like any knife. The
advantage of this knife is that it sticks
wherever it touches. and it cuts, too.
1t requires only half as much effort to
cut hill of corn with this cutter as
with the smooth cutters.

crosspieces may be one foot apart, the
length corresponding to the width of

Thou aged seer, oh. what Is love.
Tell me, for would know the truth
Is 1t an essence from above,
Or does it come from far below?
Tell me, pray thee, would know.
Oh, ardent youth you ask OF me
A battling question, deep and wide,
Love is as deep as yonder sea,
Is wide as lofty mountain-side
Yet love Is simple, love is true,
The truest thing one ever knew.
For love is truth, and love is life.
AS true as faith, as strong as hope
Its presence banishes all strife,
Converts the gloomy misanthrope.
Love is fetter light as air,
Yet strong as anchor cables are
