FARM TURKEY RAISING.
Giving the Young Birds the Right
Kind OF Food Is the Most Inn
portant Matter.

When the turkey hen is in a good
sitting mood, give her IL eggs; at the
same time set two chickens on IL eggs
each. When the hatch is off, give all
turkeys to the turkey hen.
Feed the young turkeys on curd,
often mixing black pepper in it, Feed
three times day all they will eat.
Do not give raw corn meal; if fed at
oil, bake into corn bread. Screenings
is poor food, as it contains many
wild seeds, causing diarrhea, killing
them in "a hours. That is the one
thing to guard against and the great
est difficulty in raising turkeys. When
feeding only curd as the principal
food, you overcome that trouble.
l find by keeping the young tur-
keys in pen 10X10 feet and IL inches
high for n few days it gives them
strength and they can follow the hen.
You cannot shut turkeys up in coop
or yard, as they will die if confined.
After four or five days old, let them
go, see that they come home every
night, which they will do if fed morn
ing and evening. For breeding pur-
poses, select hens not less than two
years old, toms from two to three,
of the Ky Bronze variety.-May C.

Sells Fowls In Midsummer.

The cockerels of this seasons hatch
when sold for market will pay all the
expense of their own raising and that
of the pullets. The time to sell the
cockerels is on the first day that
enough of them of marketable size
can be gathered together for ship
ment. Most farmers put off selling
until just before winter. The market
is then glutted and prices are.at the
lowest ebb. The increased size does
not make up for the losses which will
occur in the interval between mid
summer and fall, and the smaller
price per pound which will then have
to be accepted for them. Taking one
year with another, it is saving Of
money to sell the surplus young stock
in July and August instead of in Oc-
tober.-Farmers' Voice.

HE PROBABLY PASSED.
Singular Report of Railway Ap-
plicnnt for Examination for
Color Blindness.

In railroad circles a new story is going the
rounds, says the Kassas City Star. The
Burlington not long since issued an order
requiring all its section foremen to report to
an oculist on a certain day and have their
eyes examined. One afternoon after those
present had undergone the examination
and the eye doctor was about to close, up
for the evening a messenger boy rushed in
with small package neatly tied up in tissue
paper and which proved to be glass eye.
The following and evidently hurried scrib-
bled note was attached:

TOO LITTLE DEBATE.
Senator Green's Opinion of the Serv-
ices Held In an Episcopal
Church.

Senator Benton, of Missouri, one of the
most conspicuous figures of the century in
either house of congress, had formidable
antagonist in Senator James Stephen Green.
Congressman Hit, according to the Chicago
Chronicle, relates this anecdote of the two
gladiators:
Senator Green was not only man Of
splendid genius, but of charming manner.
He boarded at the National hotel, where he
was popular with men and women. The
latter found out that the senator was not
much of churchgoer and insisted that he
should mend his ways in that regard. One
Sunday he was late for dinner. The women
asked him why.
Il have been attending divine worship,
replied the senator, gravely.
"'To what church did you go, senator?
asked a woman.
"I don't know answered the courtly
Mssourian. Il walked up the avenue, turned
up Fourth street and entered church on
the left-hand side This was an Episcopal
church.
Glow did you like the services? asked
another woman.
1T appeared to me- answered the sen
ator, that there was too much reading of the
journal and too little debate"

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Generally, the quicker sick hen is
killed the better.
Exercise is better than drugs as a
stimulant for egg production.
The hardy, wide rangers, those clean
of limb and having small combs, are
the kinds of fowls wanted by farmers.
For broilers you should have some
breed that natures rapidly, and that
will not have to be fed all summer to
make them weigh pound or two.
On the farm, especially, one good
breed of poultry, well fed and cared
for, is of more value than dozen
varieties neglected. = Garden and

MAKING BRooDERs SAFE.

shows how this trouble may be avoid
ed easily. Three slopes are made to
the incline, thus affording no chance
for missing the way. A chicken is a
very stupid thing, and cannot be de-
pended upon to do any thinking for
itself. II is this nature of both old
and young fowls that makes it so nee
essary to be constantly watchful in
managing poultry. A little lack of
care and dozen chicks, perhaps, have
become chilled and lost. The ingen-
ious caretaker by using such devices
as that shown in the cut can save
himself some work by making it near
ly impossible for the chicks to go
wrong. There are many such devices
for saving labor that can be thought
up.-N. Y. Tribune.

CHINESE CIVIL SERVICE.
Positions in the Customs Service Are Attractive and Are Ea-
 8sriy Sought.

There is 10 fixed limit to the length of time which a Chinese customs sS- sistant may spend at a port, says Il. C. Whittlesey, in Atlantic. The average period is about three years. The chances then are that a man in 6 southern port will be ordered north, or that one on the Yangtse will be sent south. Promotion to the next higher grade often accompanies a transfer, and there is also the change of climate and the opportunity to see and learn more of the land, it's GUS
 toms and people. In the north the foreigner has an excellent chance to collect variety of curios consisting of old coins, pieces of porcelain, an tique bronZes, and choice bits of em- broidery, while on the Yengtse and in the south he can suit a critical taste in selecting silk piece goods, sil- yer and gold articles of native work manship, and wood and ivory carvings. At the end of seven years a member of the indoor staff completes his first period, as it is called, and is en-  titled to go home for two years hol- iday, and also to receive one years full pay as gratuity. Upon his go- ing back to China for further service the customs pay one-hah of the cost of his return fare. He then serves five years more, when he completes his second peroid, and can again goI home 0D two veara' leave and re- ceive 8 second gratuity--and so on for as long as health and inclination may permit. .. The conditions of an en- gagement in the customs are consid cred usually attractive on account of the generous salary, security of posi- tion, and prospect of sure advance ment. designations rarely occur, and there are always more applicants than there are vacancies.

Army Commander Recommends Their Further Uae for the
 Military.

The use of the automobile for mili- tary purposes has proved so satisfac- tory that Lieut.. Gen. Miles, command ing the United States army, will re- new his recommendations for a more general introduction. The three au- tomobiles now at Fort Myer, Va, are not recommended. however, on ac- count of lack of facilities for recharg- ing them with electricity.
 Gen. Miles and other officers inter ested in making the automobile use full for the army have been making Investigations of other powers than electricity with a view of obtaining practical method of making the ma chine available for military purposes. Gen. Miles says that automobiles may be adapted for use as couriers, carry ing dispatches, movement of staff off cers from one command to another, for small recommending parties, for Investigating the topography of the country in which the army proposes to operate, for small detechments en- gagged in constructing bridges or es- tablishing depots, for rapidly supply ing ammunition and for the movement and care of the wounded.

A HISTORIC TOWER.
Ea Being Put In 0ooa Repair.

The famous tower on the summit of
 Leith hill is undergoing much-needed
 renovation. The tower has occupied
 its present position for 134 years. It was erected in 1776 by Richard Hull, of Leith Hill place, who selected the
 exposed position as his burying-plece, and his remains were, on his death in 1772, inferred beneath the tower. Sub- seQuently a portion of the interior was filled with stone and cement, and the entrance blocked. In 1864, however, the lord of the manor determined to re- store it to it's original purpose of prospect tower. The solid cement. how- ever, cannot be pierced and in order to overcome the difficulty an outer tur. ret for the staircase had to be built. Since that time many thousands of holiday7makers have ascended it for the more extensive view gained from its parapet. The building and the re- construction are each commemorateE by stones bearing inscriptions in Latin inserted in the brickwork over the door.
 The height of Leith hill is 965 feet. and the tower renders the view one from height of 1000 feet-the high. est point in the southeastern counties This renders possible more extend ed view than from almost any poin near London, reaching from the Tor line of the South Downs to Dunstabl Downs, in Bedfordshire-a prospec many counties and con puted by some as a district 2CO miles I n circumference.

THE RUsKIN COLLEGE.
Movement Started by Walter Vroo- nan i'm Interest of Labor Making
 Eati1factory Progress.

Walter Vrooman, founder of Ruskin Hall, the labor college at Oxford, Eng land, has returned to New York from Trenton, Mo-, where he has secured complete control of the old Avalon college and has changed it's name to Ruskin college. The new college starts with building worth $40 ,00c, entirely free of debt, 1,60O acres of land ad- joining, and 80 ,OOO in cash, $20.OO0 of which was contributed by the trade unionists of England and s1O,000 given by friends of the movement here. Prof. George D. Miller, late president of Av- alon college, has been retained as pres ident of Ruskin college. Prof. Thom- as Will, late president of the Kansas state agricultural college, has been ap- pointed general secretary of the la Dor college movement.
 The college of social science, organ ized at the Buffalo conference of so- cial reformers last year, has also con Solidated with Mir. Vrooman's move ment and turned over it's headquarters in the Unity building in Chicago, from which the western extension work will be conducted.
 At Ruskin college four years course will cost only s1Oo, but the stu dent will have to work, under skilled direction, being considered one of the most valuable features of the train ing.
 MT. Vrooman is now at work raising merit fund.- of $1oO, O,OOO, which will be used to provide scholarships. Tren- ton. Mo, has promised to raise $5,CO0 and Kansas Sity and St. Louis s5,OO0 each.
 In New York 1t is expected @ resi- dence college will be established soon at which young men can live for three dollars a week and pursue their studies while going on with their reg ular werk.
