ChfgGers on Turkeys.

The question confronting most tur-
key raisers at present is How can
manage my turkeys so as to reduce the
death rate of the young flock"
Most people can raise turkeys to
three or six weeks. In this there really
has been change since we raised our
first turkeys. If in those days we
brought young turkeys to weeks old,
we considered them safe at least until
the late fall, when we usually lost a
few and never could tell why they
died Last year and the year before
the report was prevalent that after the
turkeys were weeks Old they seemed
to grow thinner day by day and finally
died without any apparent cause. Many
Of them were examined and no disease
revealed. This was mentioned several
times In The Reliable Poultry Journal,
and correspondent of The Journal
wrote the following, for which he will
please accept our thanks even at this
late day:
"Tell Mrs. Mackey that the trouble IS
the poults are killed by the chiggers.
They do us more damage than any
thing else"
We presume this is the little grass
chigger which buries itself in the flesh
at least it does on people-and is very
hard to exterminate and very painful
to endure. We had never thought Of
this. The only remedy known to us is
grease. and too much of that is fatal to
the poults. If the gentleman meant
mites, which often infest poultry build
ings. liquid lice killer and whitewash
will extermlnate them. The houses or
coops must be whitewashed early in
the morning and well aired during the
day. 1t Is dangerous to use the liquid
lice killer for the little ones, as they
might be smothered by the fumes,
Mrs B. G. Mackey In Reliable Poultry
Journal.

Cucumber Pickles.

Wash and wipe half peck of small
green cucumberS. Pack them in a jar
or large bowl, pour over a brine made
with one-half a pint of salt and two
quarts of boiling water. Let stand for
three days, drain off the brine heat to
boiling, pour again over the cucumbers
and let stand for three days longer.
Repeat for the third time. On the
ninth day drain and wash the cucum-
bers thoroughly. Cover with four
quarts of boiling water in which is dis
solved one level tablespoonful of alum
and let stand for half day. Boil to-
gether for ten minutes four quarts Of
vinegar, one tablespoonful of broken
stick cinnamon, two taDlespoonfuls Of
whole allspice two tableSpoonfuls of
whole cloves and four small red pep
pers. Keep one quart of this mixture
on the fire and in it cook for ten min
utes as many of the cucumbers as it
will cover. When all are done, put
them into a stone pot or jar and strain
over them the remainder of the spiced
vinegar.-Table Talk.

THE IRISH PEASANT.
He Is the Gnyest Fellow In the
World Under Difficulties.

World Under Difficulties.
The Irish peasant is still, thank
heaven, what Sir Walter Scott called
him after the visit of the great novelist
to Ireland in the early thirties-he is
still ''the gayest fellow in the world
under difficulties and Affections" He
has cheerful way of regarding cir
cumstances which to others would be
most unpleasant and disheartening. A
peasant met with an accident which
resulted in broken leg. The neigh
bors of course cOmmiserated him.
"Arrah." he remarked, with CLEAN of
satisfaction in his eye as he regarded
the bandaged limb, what blessing 1t
is that it wasn't me neck"
Yes the irrepressible Irishman has a
joke for every occasion. Two country
men who had not seen each other for
long time met at fair. They had
lot of things to tell each other. ''Shure
it's married am" said O'Brien. You
don't tell me so," said Blake. Faith,
yes" said O'Brien, IAN I've got fine,
healthy bhoy which the neighbors say
is the very picter Of me-" Blake looked
for a moment at O'Brien, who was not,
to say the least. remarkable for his
good looks. and then said, "Och, well,
what's the harrum so long as the
child's healthy" And yet a peasant
to whom a witticism thus spontaneous
ly springs may be very simple minded.
The peasants passion for rhetoric
still induces them to commit to memo
ry imposing polysyllables which they
often misapply, with the most amusing
and grotcsque results. l heard nurse

AMERICANS MORE RATIONAL.
We Are Falsely Charged by Euro
peans with Being UndiRnifled.


Our crowds may and do have rip
roaring times when the occasion de-
mands it, but surely they do not be-
come asinine as do European crowds.
Our crowds may stand around news
paper offices looking at bulletins, but
even on election night they don't rush
away in mad, screaming hordes, every
few moments yelling Historically "a
baS" something or somebody, as they
do in Paris.
In London wherever crowds gather
for any purpose, from an unveiling TO
an excursion, street hawkers are on
hand with two things that they call re-
spectively "teasers" and 'ticklers."
The "teaser" is an empty bladder tied
to stick. and the 'tickler" is a long
feather The ''teaSer' is affected most
by the male representatives of English
dignity, and the "tickler" captures the
fond feminine heart The male goes
into raptures of joy when he succeeds
in hitting sOmebody-a respectable ell
derly gentleman preferred-with his
toy. The female trips gayly through
the streets, tickling the ears Of mascu-
line persons to whom she has not been
introduced.
And among our "lower ORDERS" who
are as undignified as are the coster-
mongers of London? We have no class
that delights in wearing grotesquely
bell shaped trousers with huge pearl
buttons down the sides and coats with
immensely broad braid bindings and
also profusely covered with pearl but
tons as big as trade dOllars.-New York

IS TEA A POISON?
One of Its Elements Kills Cats and

DR.. J. i. Kellogg declares that tea is
an active pOSon-that its active prinCi-

can be N tiled from tea in dry re-

The thCin in tea is about 6 per cent
of the total bulk. Experiments have
proved that Unc-cighth of a grain of it
will kill Il frog. } grains will kill rab-
bit, and ~ grains will Kill a cat. In
pound of tea there is an ounce of poi
son, enough to Kill 30 cats.
Ten grains Of thcin will make ma:
i'll, and a half ounce of tea contains
from 10 to IL grains.
Professor Lehman, a German phySi
clan. gave several men from eight to
ten grains Of THEM each by way Of eE-
pertinent None of them was able to
work for two days.
There are tea drunkards. There have
been cases OF delirium trcmens from
tea drinking. BY chewing tea leaves

Every one knows that tea contains
tannin. Add little iron to tea, and it
becomes black. Tea made in an iron
kettle is as black as ink. Even stir

with iron makes ink. Leather is made

And fortune seems burdened with spite,
Don't give way to grieying all dismal and blue

Since the that you worry the worse you

Why waste time in worry at all2

And this is the knowledge we gain
It's work and a brave heart that Tighten the strsas
