Fattening Turkeys.

Too much stock reaches the market

factory neither to grower, marketman nor
consumer. A well fattened bird not only
weighs more, but brings more per pound
Turkeys must be fed all they will eat after
the middle of October if intended for the
Thanksgiving market. Corn should be
the basis of fatiening food. both in the
kernel and ground. Corn meal mixed up
with boiled potatoes is a great tattening
food. Milk is a great help. Feed in
troughs numerous enough for all to get a
chance at the food. Do not feed much
sour food of any kind. Ii their bowels

The birds which are not full grown at
Thanksgiving should be kept for the

To seek country home in old age is
better than not to seek 1t at all. But it
is difficult for an old man who has always
lived in the city to get acclimated to farm
conditions. He had better be contented
with village home, with few farm
animals and large garden. To build up
a perfect fam house is the work of busy
lifetime. 1t requires all young mans
enthusiasm and ability for hard work and
hard thinking. and life is none too long to
get everything just to ones liking. A
young man grows up with the improved
farm, and becomes attached to the results
of his work. The man who has been
brought up on the farm and made it what
it is, is the only one who can enjoy it to
the utmost.-PloueAman.

narrow and the Industrial specialties alone

fluctuations and Sugar was affected by
