Turkevs for Bree,ers.

Save the earliest and best turkeys
for breeders, or buy the very best that
can be found at any cost. To kill the
best and breed from inferior speci-
mems will run out any stock, says
American Fancier. Breed from choice
old hens as long as they live; they
lay larger eggs, are the most reliable
mothers, and their progeny are larger.
Breed from gobblers already tested the
previous season, and it is we'll to have
an extra tested gobbler in reserve in
case the head of your flock is lost, by
accident or disease. One three years
old will produce more thrifty stock
than a younger one. According to our
experience and that of Rhode Island
raisers, turkeys that roost out of doors
the year through do the best. They
can Withstand wind, rain and snow
without injury if they roost in the lee
of a hill or thick wood. On land
where the wind has full sweep wind

ing turkeys, but I would use nothing
smaller or tighter. They may be al.
lowed to roost on trees in the orchard
or on roosts built where they will be
protected by some building. Large
poles laid on frame 10 or Is feet
high answer the purpose. At fatten-
ing time the breeding birds should re-
ceive less food than those that are to
be slaughtered. They should be kept
in good condition, but not fattened.
Feed them very lightly towards spring,
lest they become too fat to lay well, or
to produce strong stock Give less corn
and more oats, wheat and clover.

CHAPTER II1.-fCoS11xuEp.)

.he day following there was sim
ole funeral, in solitary burial-place,
seldom used, and lying within short
distance Of the spot where the body
was found. Mr.. Lorraine betrayed the
expenses out of his own pocket, saw
that everything was decently, though
simply arranged, and himself read the
beautiful burial service over the coffin.
He had now no doubt in his mind that
the drowned woman was the mother Of
the infant left under his care, and that
by destroying herself she had simply
carried out her desperate determine
zion.
All attempts to identify her, how
ever, continued without avail. In
squiries were made on every side, adj
vertisements inserted in the local
newspapers, without the slightest re-
suit; no one came forward to give any
Information. But by this time the
minister's mind was quite made up.
He would keep the child, and, with
Gods blessing, rear her as his own;
he would justify the unhappy mothers
dependence on his charity and loving
kindness.
So it came to pass that late in the
cleaning of the old bachelors life the
cry of child was heard in the lonely
Nouse; and somehow or other, despite
Solomon Mucklebackit's prognostica-
tons, the house became brighter and
'nerrier for the sound. Solomon him
self soon fell under the spell, and whe-
q little warm with --a.iony ne would al
l,.x-.o tue child, with comic sense
OF possession, ~ "oor BARN"
At last, one day, there was a quiet
christening in the old kirk, where Mr..
lorraine had officiated so many years.
Nysie held the infant in her arms,
while Solomon stood at hand, blinking
through his horn spectacles, and the
minister performed the simple cere-
'mony.
After long and tender deliberation
the minister had fixed upon name,
which he now gave to the poor little
'castaway, who had neither father nor
mother, nor any kinsfolk in the world
after whom she could be called.
He christened her Marjorie AMMAN.
Marjorie, after that other beloved
Marjorie, who had long before Joined
or so he dreamed-the bright celes-
ttai band; AMMAN, after that troubled
water wherein the miserable mother
had plunged and died.

srparators on tho Farm.

SepaFACOE8 ON inc F0Tms
The fact that the farm separator has
passed the experimental stage, and its
utility is no longer open to doubt. it
seems little surprising that more Of
them are not met with, writes E. p.
Smith in Wisconsin Agriculturist. The
question that may possibly rise in
considering the value of separator is,
VIII 1t pay on small farm? The ini-
tai cost of the separator seems high,
from $50 up. One of the great virtues
OF the separator is thoroughness, and
thereby much is saved that by old
methods would be lost. Count this
waste up through a series of years.
and 1t would be found to amount to
far more than the cost of the separa-
tor. Moreover, much of the ordinary
farm butter is faulty, and this is due
IN most cases to poor Dreaming Of the
milk. Good butter cannot be male
from faulty cream. Here is where the
separator comes in as a valuable ad-
1unct. The cream of fresh milk that
comes direct from the separator is as
near perfection as possible, and there
IS no wonder that such cream makes
the gflt-edged butter that commands
a premium in all the markets. Delay
In Dreaming milk is always more or
less fatal. Dispatch is the prime ne
cessity in handling the cream in a
dairy. This, however, is only possible
with separator. The fresh milk has
not had time to get contaminated by
coming in contact with impurities be-
fore 1t is creamed, and this is very
important point to consider. Cream
raised by the old method always be-
comes inoculated with the bacteria of
ac1dity, while the separator cream is
not so injured. 1t is the opinion of ex-
perts that a separator ought to pay for
itself In one season on a farm large
enough to accommodate twenty COWS.
1t Is impossible in this age to COM
mand the highest price for butter I'M
less it is made after the most APPROX
ed methods. It is no use for the farm
er and dairyman to turn up their noses
at the so-called fine favored butter;
their "just as good" butter will not
do. 1t is this fine-favor that consum-
ers pay their extra money for.

mo Fish,"

Fine as are the salmon of New
Foundland, they are without honor in
their own country, as the following in
cident from DR.. S. T. Davis's Carl
bou-Shooting in Newfoundland" will
show: Our way into the interior was
over lovely pond. We had made an
early start, and left the foot of the
pond just as day was breaking. We
had not proceeded far when the writer
thought he could occasionally see the
water break with a splash in close
proximity to the canoe. Seated as he
was in the bow, he turned to the native
who was handling the paddle in the
stern, and inquired whether there were
any fish in the pond.
Fish? No, sir, no fish, SIR
Presently, when about halfway u,
the pond, and just as the sun was peep
ing over the eastern horison, he saw,
not six feet from the bow of the canoe,
magnificent salmon rise to the sur
ICE, and with swish of his tail. dis

fail. Then we say the FOWLS have
taken cold, but we would not have had
the trouble had 1t not been for the fact
that we neglected to change the drink
ing water daily during the hot season.
Are you feeding lice or poultry?
This is a question that must be an
swered in some manner by all keepers
Of poultry. Could we but know the
food that is consumed by these de-
stroyers Of thrift 1t would doubtless
cause to revise our methods in poultry
culture. Wage incessant war on the
parasites.
Old hens should be sold or eaten
before they lose their vigor. While
they are in good shape for laying it
is sometimes hard to part with them.
but we must draw the line somewhere.
Doubtless many hens are kept for
years without laying a single egg.
Such hens can generally be told by
the amount of blood appearing in their
combs.
During the summer months road
dust can be easily obtained for scat
tering under the roosts, provided one
does not wish to save the manure. If
the manure is an object the road dust
will be Of no value, for this dust will
burn up all parts of the manure so
completely that hardly trace of nitro
gen can be found in it, and it is the
nitrogen that is valuable.
The hens that continue to lay after
found to be the ones that have been
fed on cooling ration through the
winter and spring, and that do not
have much fattening food at this time.

Useful Age Of q Cow.

Many dairymen and others who
milk cows for profit believe that when
a COW reaches the age of seven or eight
her useful years are over, and that she
should be replaced by one younger,
says writer in the New York Trib-
une. But, other things being equal,
this is a mistake. A COW that has
been we'll cared for, with generous ra-
tions and proper attention given to
her comfort, through all seasons of
the year, is better and will make a
more profitable return at eight years
old than at an earlier age; in other
words, she is in her prime, and she
will continue in this condition several
years, and will not be considered an
old cow until fourteen or fifteen years
have passed. Cows with first calves
at two or three years-are generally
Improbable in their milk yield. and
only really good COW between sew
en- and eight years old will pay a bet
ter revenue than two that are perform
ing their first years duties in the
dairy herd, and she will probably con.
sumo but little more food than one
of the younger ones. This fact is
worthy Of the consideration of those
who are dairying for profit.

"Yes, monsieur Monsieur Leon. He
is my guardian and my foster father;
and Solomon is my foster-father, too"
Solomon"
Solomon is our clerk and sexton.
He lives in the manse. He was living
there when the minister found me,
nearly seventeen years ago."
The young Frenchman had arisen
and stood facing Marjorie Amman.
"Ah, yes, I have heard" he said.
"And you have dwelt all these years,
mignonne, alone with those two old
men?"
Eyes, Monsieur Leon"
"It is terrible-it is not right! You,
who are so young and pretty; they,
who are so old and dreary! And you
have never seen the world-never trav-
eled from your native land! Never?
You have lived in desert, you have
never known what it is to live! But
you are child, and it is not too late.
You will see the world some day, will
you not? You will find some one to
love you, to care for you, and you will
bid adieu to this triste Scotland, once
and forever!"
AS he spoke very volubly, he bent
his face close to hers, smiling eagerly,
while his breath touched her cheek.
She blushed slightly, and dropped her
eyes for moment; then she looked up
quite steadily, and said:
II should not care to leave my home.
Mr.. Lorraine took me to Edinburgh
once, but soon wearied, and was glad
to come back to Annandale."
Edinburgh" cried Monsieur Leon,
with contemptuous gesture. "a city
where the sun never shines, and it rains
six days out of seven, what you call q
Scotch mist! You should see my coun-
try, la belle France, and Paris. the
queen of cities of the world! There
all is light and gay; it is Paradise on

"Mr. Lorraine told me to give you

So saying, she drew forth a small

answered the Frenchman. "Some otn-
er time, if you insist, but not today. It
is reward enough for me to have such
pupil. Take the money and buy
yourself a keepsake to remind you of
me-"
But Marjorie shook her little head
firmly and answered:
please do not ask me, Monsieur
Leon. My guardian would be very
angry, and he sent me the money to
pay YOU"
The Frenchman shrugged his Shout
ders.
well, as you please, only I would
not have you think that teach you
for the moneys sake-ah, no. You
have brought light and sunshine to my
heart in my exile; when you come /
forget my sorrows, and when you go
away I am full of gloom. All. you
smile, but it is true"
Goodbye, now, Monsieur Leon"
said Marjorie, moving toward the door,
for she felt embarrassed and almost
frightened by the ardent looks Of her
teacher.
Goodbye. You will come again on
Monday, will you not?"
Eyes, Monsieur Leon"
And Marjorie left the room and
passed out into the sunny street.
