rATTENING TURKEYS.

Taking for granted that the turkeys
you wish to turn off pretty soon have
been under proper feed for the last
two months, it is now time to give
them the finishing touches. Every
pound of fat that can be laid on the
bird is profit at the present price of
grain.
Shut up those that you wish to keep
over or until later in the season, and
let those to be fattened have free
range turkeys often grow poor in con-
hnement though they have heaps of
iood before them), and feed them
three or four times day with pota-
toes cooked with corn meal, or corn
meal mush made with milk, and Mt
night give nil the whole corn they will
eat; some other grain might be given
for change once or twice.
Do not feed more than they will eat
up clean, and let there be as long an
interval between the morning meal
and the closing meal of the day as
daylight Will allow.
If the food is dropped by the hand

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Why He Resigned.

a romantic tale ia going the rounds
among Chicago business men OF man
who voluntarily resigned a $4,000
salary. A business had gotten into bad
shape through the owner being in Eu-
rope most OF the time. The SOS, 900
a-year man was employed to put the
business on it's feet. For year or two
he worked like steam engine, putting
in eighteen hours a day. When the
manufa Glory was once more on a pay
ing basis the manager told the proprie-
tor that, as there was nothing further
for him to do, he proposed TO retire,
and handed in his resignation, to take
effect at once.
But we don't want you to go. You
made the business what 1t Is" said
the proprietor.
Yes, but you can take care OF 1t
yourself now, and there is no use in
its being taxed $500 a week to support
a person who isn't needed"
"Well, at any rate let us run till the
first of the month; that's only three
weeks longer"
mo, won't take what don't earn.
I'm going to quit Saturday. I've been
working hard and need rest"
The man has had his rest, and wants
a job where he can get big pay and q
chance to earn it.-Chicago Tribune.

witty 1rishman whom correspondent

at stone quarry, pulling up loads Of

The windlass was exposed to the sun,
and the labor was very hard. but the
man had on his head straw hat from
which the crown had been torn.

HINTS on FEEDING srLAGz,

In feeding silage 1T is much better
to always feed from the top, and the
area of the feeding sur ace should not
be much greater than five square feet
for each COW feed. 1t is common
mistake to have the feeding surface of
the silage too large, and under these
conditions the slla9e has time to heat
and spoil TO some extent. All heating
OF silage is at the expense of feeding
value, and in good silos, after the first
heating, the silage cools, and remains
cold to the touch for an indefinite
time unless again exposed to the air
Tor some days. Silage should be fed
after milking. Almost any substance
possessing an odor at all marked has n
tendency, when fed to the COW Just
before milking, to have it excreted
with the milk at the time of milking.
II, however, turnips or silage, etc.
are fed after milking, then the odors
have time to escape from the blood of
the COW, through the lungs, kidneys
and skin, before it is again time to
milk, and the milk will not be tainted.

THE COW PEA.

The COW pea is highly esteemed by
Southern farmers as crop for blow
ing under, and also to grow for its
forage. An esteemed correspondent
writes in letter published this week.
urging its cultivation by Northern
farmers as substitute for clover, or
rather on land where clover cannot be
grown. But the time when the COW
pea is to be piowed under must alwny s
be at the end of the growing selson. 1t
requires warmth and long season to
attain maturity. Some of the earlier
and smaller varieties might1ipen seeds
In our Northern States in favorable
seasons, but these could not be de-
pended on. The farmer who can grow
clover viii find it much more satisfnc.
tory than to grow the COW pea. If a
large amount of foliage is turned I'M
der late IN the season it will rot, and
much OF its nitrogen will be washed
away before spring. In most cases it
Will probably pay better for those who
grow COW peas to cat and feed the for

stead of blowing it under. The plow-

after feeding the pea forage, what man
