Turkey Diseases.

Turkeys are subject to the same dis
eases that affect chickens, and it is much
more difficult to treat them when they
are attacked with disease, as they are
restless i'll disposition and difficult to
handle. When they have a roosting
place in the trees and are protected by
a windbreak, they can endure quite a
serious exposure, but they are subject
to roup and frosted feet. The proper
place for them is high roost under a
shed, which should face the south.
Swelled eyes and lameness are serious
draw back in winter, the former from
exposure and the latter from jumping to
the ground from high perches when the
turkeys are stiff and cold.

How to Make Mustard Sauce.

A cup vinegar a teaspoon salt, tea
spoon sugar, tablespoon butter, ia
blespoon mustard, the yolk of an egg.
Put vinegar, butter, salt and sugar in a
saucepan over the fire. Mix the mustard
in a little cold water. Beat the egg.
When the vinegar is hot enough to
melt the butter, add the mustard grad
ually, stirring to prevent Jumping. The
hot mustard mixture is now added to
the beaten egg. Pour in small, steady
stream, stirring constantly to prevent
curdling. Return to the saucepan, place
over the fire and stir until it thickens.
Pour out at once. If properly made,
this sauce will be as thick and smooth
as the best mayonnaise, delicious sauce
for all meats and an excellent salad
dressing.

Choose large lobster and two small
ones. Reserve piece Of the coral pick
and pound the remainder with little
fresh butter, a little salt, red and white
pepper, blade or two of mace, little
nutmeg and desertspoonful of anchovy
sauce. When we'll pounded, add the
yolks of two eggs, the white Of one.
Lay the mixture on a pasteboard, roll
it out until an inch thick, cut into
small squares, do them over with egg,
dip in bread crumbs and fry light
brown in lard. Mix the coral remaining
with a little melted butter and anchovy
sauce. Pour il into the middle of the
dish, with the outlets arranged around.
Gut the horns of the lobster into pieces
an inch and half long. Place them be-
tween each outlet and serve hot. A very
pretty way to dress them is to form into
the shape Of lamb outlets, placing a
piece of the horn in the center of the
extremity to resemble the bone.

The White Minorcas--those hens with
great combs. which look exactly like
roosters and are called Galatians by the
Spanish-will lay perhaps more eggs in
a year than any other sort of hen, but
they will not lay them in cold weather,
and it is unlikely that any one of them
was ever known TO hatch a brood of
chickens The Minorcas will indeed
sometimes begin to sit, but they seem
TO be under the impression that three
days ought to be, in all conscience, a
an egg, and at the expiration of about
that time they will abandon the attempt
with great futter and much denuncia
tory oratory. II they are fastened down
on the nest with board placed above
their backs, they will stand up as high
as they can under the board and let the
cold air addle their eggs 1t is doubtful
if any human being, male or female
wicked or pious, Christian or pagan,
ever got Minorca hen to sit.

In an interesting article in The Coun.
try Gentleman II. S. Babcock says:
without having made an investigation
and not having sufficient material for it
as / breed ducks on limited scale
only-my impressions are in favor of
the American type-the deep keeled
bird. In ordinary domestic poultry ]
have satisfied myself that birds with
deep and long keels carry the most
meat. But analogies do not always hold,
and this may not be true Of waterfowls,
In the meantime fancy that American
breeders will continue TO value the ducks
which have longest and deepest keels,
in the belief that such ducks will prove
the most valuable for market. Theoret-
ically the deep keeled bird is the desira-
BILE one. The muscles which are attach
ed to each side of the keel make the
breast meat. The deeper and longer the
keel, provided the muscles are large
enough TO fill up the space along the
sides of the keel, the better will be the
bird for market purposes. Still it is not
theoretical but practical knowledge
which we are seeking, and if there is
not more meat on the deep keeled birds,
if in fact the keel makes simply a bony
protuberance and nothing more, then il
is not desirable characteristic and
should be avoided with as much care as
1t is now sought. 1t will, if such be the
case, only disfgure the carcass. Duck
meat is good, and we want to get it as
abundantly as possible on our ducks II
the deep keel will do this, we want
birds with deep keels. But will 1T

Three Indispensable Toilet Accessories.

Three Indispensable Toilet Accessories.
A fashionable lady says that three Of
the most important necessities of an ev-
eryday toilet are a good toothbrush, a
hairbrush of the best quality and a
clothesbrush that will do the work
without tearing a delicate fabric, or
leaving it as if it had been through the
process of teasing.
The.hairbrush that breaks or splits
the hair or passes over the head with
the smoothness of its own ivory back is
to be avoided.
What is wanted is one which finds
each separate hair, but does not tingle
the scalp of the head, which, pleasant
sensation as it is, should not be too
freely INDUCED in.
The ideal toothbrush does not cause
the gums to bleed. New York Ledger.

have started April 25. In reality 1t has
not yet started, and the officers in
charge OF this station are skeptical of its
ability to produce 10000 gallons.
Key Vests water resources are most
primitive and limited. Everyone is afraid
to drink water from several shallow wells
in town, all being more. or less brackish
and under suspicious surface drainage
Two companies, at various times, have
driven artesian wells 1.SG0 and $500 feet
deep, but they have never secured fresh
water.
The town lives by cisterns and rain
barrels, and the latter are only shade
less unhealthy than the wells These els
terms are filled during the rainy season,
and usually run very low by the close of
the dry season. which is due now.
This year, in addition to the rains
coming very late, the town has practi-
cally had its population doubled by the
presence of troops, ships and war vessels,
and the army Of newspaper correspond
ents and their tugs which vessels take
water by the. thousand gallons, not only
for their crews but for their boilers.
OF course the war vessels and some of
the hospital and other craft have con-
ply is still abnormal The torpedo boats
have no condensng apparatus. and they
have been scouting for fresh water as
keenly as buccaneers after Spanish gal
Icons. Every discovery of a fresh cistern
is hailed like the striking of Klondike,
and every gallon of water has three pur-
chasers, all with money and anxious to
outbid each other.
Under these circumstances, it is not as
tonishing that water has advanced from
~ cents to 10 cents gallon within the
past two months. All who can afford it,
that is to say, the newspaper correspond
ents and the officers, drink bottled wa
ter, and a dearth of this supply is ap-
preaching.
The Government reservoir at the Naval
Station, from which the engine room is
supplied, contains less than 1900 gallons
of water, and 1t is reported among the
despatch boats that there is less than
1000 gallons Of rain water available in
town, and this supply is of a very poor
quality.
