RAISING TURKEYS.
Eggs Must be of One Date-Young
Poults Need Lots of Room.


The turkeys roost out in trees the
year throus h, and few are lost. In the
spring the eggs are gathered with
great care, and each one is dated.
Seventeen eggs of as nearly the same
date as possible are placed under a
hen, butiwhen the first few fhave been
Matched the mother wants to leave the
nest and leave the other eggs to their
fate. She is coaxed to return to re-
sumo her maternal duties, however,
by dainty meals of dough.
When the little turkeys, or poults,
are a couple of days old, they are re-
moved with their mother to a remote
part of field and placed in a triangu-
lar pen. Four broods are given a 20
acre field, and if more were placed
within such limits it would be regard
ed as dangerous to the health of the
young ones. AS a result of this system,
it takes considerable ground to afford
space for 80 or 40 broods, and the task
of feeding them all means a three or
four mile walk.
For the first four weeks the poults
are fed on cornmeal and sour milk and
are given sour milk to drink instead of
water. After that cracked corn is
mixed with the meal, and the quantity
is gradually increased, until, at or
10 weeks old, their food consists solely
of cracked corn. In the latter part OF
October they are given all the corn
they can eat. White flint corn, new
and old mixed, is considered the best
fattener, and, moreover, it gives the
flesh the fine flavor that Thanksgiving
epicures sigh for.
Turkeys Matched in May weigh at
Thanksgiving time Is to 20 pounds for
gobblers and 10 to II pounds for hens

THANKSGIVING IN BRITAIN.

Wherever throughout the earth there
is such a thing as a formal harvest
there also appears an inclination to
mark it with a festive celebration. In
England this festival passes generally
under the endeared name of harvest
home. In Scotland. where that term is
unknown, the festival is hailed under
the name of the kim. In the north OF
England, its ordinary designation is
the nell supper And there are per-
haps other local names, but every
where there is a thankful joy, feeling
which pervades all ranks and condi-
tions of the rural people, and for once
in the year brings all upon a level

Colonel Stotsenberg has won iepu-
tation as one of the bravest fighters in
the army; he always led his regiment,
and had achievedlremarkable popularity
with his men since the war began, al
though during his first colonelcy the
volunteers, who we're not used to the
rigid discipline Of the regular troops,
thought him a hard officer.
The loss Of the Nebraska regiment in
the campaign is the greatest sustained
by any regiment, and today's disaster
has greatly saddened the officers and
men, who promise to take fierce ven-
geance in the next fight.
