Tuesday, Aug. Is, was set apart by
Rain bow grange to be observed as field
day. The day proved an ideal one for an
excursion, and by 10 O'Clock many
grangers and their friends had assembled
in the pine grove near the residence Of n.
f. Norton, of South Penobscot.
The meeting was called to order by
Worthy Master John +. Dority. Rev IL.
f. Norton welcomed the assembly in a
hearty manner 1t was particularly APP
propriate that this office should be given
HIM, as this farm is he one on which
Rev. Mr.. Norton spent his boyhood days,
and which he still calls home.
Mrs. Hartman, of Bucksport, re-
sponded in peculiarly well-chosen words.
Noon came and the many groups OF
families and friends We're gathered at he
long tables, or seated on the highest
rocks, where both dinner and view OF
the beautiful scenery could be enjoyed,
and the murmur of happy voices attested
to the good times that grangers always
have.
AT O'Clock music called the assembly
together and some time was spent in lis
tening to recitations by the children.
Five minute speeches were then called for,
and the allotted time WAS well occupied
by the Master John II. Dority, Rev. \.
l.. Smith, {. Valentine, A. Dresser, y. +.
Norton, A. Herrick, Andrew Grindle,
Nathaniel Gray, Hiram Hartman and
Rev. Mr.. Norton. A song by Curtis Dur
gin was heartily applauded.
Flashes of lightning and the ominous
mutterings OF thunder warned us that
goodbye must be said, and with many
expressions of appreciation of the pleas
ure of the day and thanks to y. F. Norton
for his efforts to make the gathering a
success, the grangers wended their way
homeWard.

He inquired why he work of repairing

consumption (not hatching) only, the
hens may be stimulated somewhat
by the use of cayenne pepper or 9TH
er warming condiments of any sort,
unless salt may be classed as one. 1t
is not bad rule if condiments are
used, to season the food as you would
for your own taste. Tastes differ, but
the longer one uses condiments, the
stronger or thicker he wishes them
follow the same plan with the fowls
Always season with a little salt
whether you believe in condiments or
not.
Rock salt, or salt that contains
large crystals, should not be exposed
so fowls can help themselves, as they
would be apt to help themselves to it
for grit, and it would not take long
for an injurious, if not fatal, amount
to he swallowed. Experiment has
shown that a quarter of pound of
salt may be fed to 100 hens each day
without injurious effect, after they
have been fed smaller amount for
some days previous. 1t is probable
THAT an ounce a day for 100 mature
FOWLS is about right for health and

Fved.n Z for Eggs.

When the pullets are fed for egg
re to be guarded against-too much
md too little, Too much produces
lat, and fat hen will not lay-too
title gives insufficient nourishment,
md a weakly hen will do little lay
ing. The amount fed is not the only
thing to be considered-the quality,
rs we'll, has something to do with the
laying, and the condition of the hen
when through. The draft on her sys-
tenn is not slight, and the amount the
hen eats to supply this draft is great.
The digestive organs are taxed to
heir utmost to take care of the eX-
ira feed, and the wise feeder Will pro-
,,de the ration that can be easily di-
gested, so as to use all the surplus
energy of the hen in producing eggs;
not in taking care of whole corn as
pecially at night, but let the food be
varied Cooked or scaIlded meal and
middlings, cooked and raw vegetables

Provide lime in some shape. Give
ground bone; crushed oyster shells;
; piece of lime daily in the drinking
water; burned bone; refuse from
NOR tar beds. All these will furnish
lime, which, with that in the wheat
hat ought to be fed, will provide
enough. If egg shells are fed they
must be finely pulverized or the hens
may form the egg-eating habit.

Geese.

No fowl can be reared with as much
profit and with so little care as the
goose, says the Poultry Fancier. At
ter they have attained the age of four
months, but little attention is requir-
ed other than supplying plenty of
fresh water, a good grass range and
a scrupulously dry roosting place,
which must also he free from lice and
other verunin fatal to the young.
It is impossible to provide free
range, the next best substitute is
Wire netting which need be but about
IS inches high to confine them until
ma tured. Give them fresh water
twice each day, also green food, such
as turnip tops celery and cabbage,
or allow them free range morning
and evening.
When Thanksgiving time arrives,
you can generally dispose of young
goslings at 10 cents per pound, and
their average weight will be about
ten pounds. Suppose, for instance,
you have 10 ''gooselets" at 81 each,
the receipts from the sale would be
$12, and the cost of feed has been but
a tTife. 1t is safe to say that your
profit will have been $40 ON the trans
action. OF course they cannot always
be disposed of at 81 each; but, on
the other hand, the price is often
more than a dollar; hence we take it
as basis on which to figure. We
doubt if fancy FOWLS would pay bet
ter, considering, of course, that we al
ways have ready market for our
geese. By crossing a China gander
on Toulouse geese large gosIings are
obtained, quick to grow, nicely mark
ed, with medium length necks, yellow
bills and remarkably easy to domes-
ticate.

National Christmas Birds.

The turkey is the American nation
al 'bird in respect of Christmas. He
rules the roost here at yuletide by
virtue of ancient custom, and, no
less, in token of his own succulent ex-
cellence. But in other countries it is
different In England, for example,
the sirloin of beef is the prime dish
for Christmas day, though many be-
sides Bob Cratchitt prefer goose.
In Russia, as bullist might say, the
favOrite fowl lis a roast pig, dressed
with boiled buckwheat and garnished
with his own liver, heart and other
important organs. Frenchmen love
their ''poulet" ON Christmas, aus on
other days of the year. 1t is served
10y preference with the famous Lam
guedoc stew, which lis a mess of beef,
bacon, garlic, cognac, wine, etc. Their
neigh'bors, the Belgians, yearn at
Christmas time for turkey, with truf-
fies, but will compromise on a goose
stuffed with 0hestnuts, SO that the
famous Walloon WATERS be thrown in
Give a German a smoked goose and
plenty of cabbage, and he will make
his Chris tmas dinner The Dutch
man is fond of goose also, but likes
it after the Belgian fashion, roast
and stuffed with chestnuts. The Hun
garian national goulasch makes room
on the Christmas table or a roasted
goose. The same estimaible fow.
satisfies the inner longihgs of the
Swiss, as well.
The turkey has a friend at Christ
mas in AUSTRIA but the subjects OF
Franz Josef divide their allegiance
with such other matters as carp, sau
s'ages and even geese. Denmark votes
for goose, too, though with strong
reservations in favor of beefsteal<,
roast pork and other varieties. Por-
tugal eats turkey at Christmas, and
many other things beside, SO that

Poultry Pickings.

Where poultry is kept in large
numbers about 100 to the acre is
enough.
No fowl will fatten rapidly if lice
are present, and this is an important
matter to look after.
Young green rye may be cut and
fed in winter, but should be used
only moderately, as it causes bowel
difficulties.
Get your hens fat, and thereby Sc
cure quick sales and high price, as
the fat fowl will sell even in an over
stocked market.
Very few people become rich by the
sale of poultry and eggs, but many
"a comfort is purchased with the prod
uct of the poultry yard that would
not be enjoyed otherwise. Egg and
chicken money does not come in
large sums, but it comes between
meals. as it were, and when it is mosl
needed.
If you have not a warm house for
YOUR fowls make them one at once. 4
straw or manure packing will Civ
warmth and comfort; a glass window
on the south will give light and
cheer, and that is all hen wants
with variety of food.
The average farmer does not care

much about color in eggs, neither,
probably, does the average country
market; butt for the fancy market
they must be of the required color.
New York seems to wish white eggs,
while Boston prefers the brown. Re-
member that a crossing in breeds of
any kind will not give eggs of a uni
form appearance.
The best laying hens will generally
be off in the symmetry of the breed
she belongs to. They are usually
long-bodied, full behind and compar-
atively thin breasted. They also sac
rifice color to usefulness, black ones
becoming the color of rusty stove
pipe, the white ones becoming dingy
and dirty, and parti-colOred ones los
ing the fine markings that pertain to
their blood and lineage.
The following will effectually cure
fowls of the bad habit of feather eat
ing: Take a piece of wire of the
thickness of an ordinary hairpin,
bind it round the top portion of the
bill near the end, sufficiently tight as
not to allow it to slip off. This will
not prevent the bird from eating or
drinking, but will prevent it's closing
it's bill sufficiently Tight to draw
feathers, and the bad habit is soon
gotten.-California Poultry Keep

At a country school examination
one day, a visitor noticing the great
promptness and correctness with
which the questions were answered
by the scholars, suspected that the
children were only given such ques-
tions as the teacher was sure of their
knowing. So requesting the privilege
of asking a few himself, the gentle
man addressed "a small child thus,
'Where is Turkey, my dear?"
The little girl was greatly confus-
ed for "a minute, then suddenly a
bright Look came into her face, and
she piped forth, ''In the back yard
With the poultry, sir!"-Harper's
found Table.

HOLT WILL CASE.
Opposing Sides Now Ready to Join

Opposing Sides Now Ready to Join
Issue.
The issues to be submitted to jury in
the matter of the contest over the estate
of the late Judge Advocate General Joseph
Holt will probably be filed in the Probate
Court some time during the coming week.
1t is understood that the issues have, with
single exception, been argued upon by
Messrs. ]. J. Darlington and Blair Lee.
representing the executors and benefi-
Charles under the alleged will of February,
1873, and Messrs. Jere M. Wilson and A. S.
Worthington, counsel for the heirs-at-law.
But for the sickness of Mr.. Wilson, it is
said, an agreement would have been reach
ed in the matter today. Mr.. Wilson will
be able to consider the matter in a day or
two it is thought, and the issues will be
ready for submission to the Probate Court
not later than Friday of next week, 1t is
believed.
The contest grows out of the receipt
by the register of wills of the mysteriously
mailed will last August. Until then it
was believed generally, of course, that
Judge Holt had died intestate, and when
the executor, Mr.. Luke Devlin, offered 1t
for probate the heirs-at-law promptly OBJ
jected denying that it is the will of Judge
Holt, and also declaring that if it ever was
it was revoked. These are the questions
which jury will be called upon to answer,
and counsel in the case hope to nave the
issues prepared in time for trial thereon
some time in April or May.
