Elias Hartz, aged s4, the goose-bone
weather prophet, of Reading, Pa, pre-
diets the mildest winter on record.
Sure of it," he says, never surer of
anything in my long life. The coming
winter will be no winter at all. This
year, to make things sure, l used the
breastbones of three geese. The bones
were all from geese of last spring.
10 my great surprise, all were alike in
color. was not so much surprised by
that as | was to see them nearly all
white. Only the slightest bit of purple
could be seen on the tail ends of the
bones. This purple indicates cold
weather, away off in March probably.
All the rest of the bone was white
which shows beyond question that
there will be no winter at all. The fact
that the three bones indicate exactly
the same thing might help to convince
people who take no stock in the goose
bone as a weather sign; but one bone is
enough for me. In the last so years in
which | have made an annual test, the
bone has never failed once. The wealth
er always came to pass as indicated by
the goose bone. So you need not ex-
pect much snow or ice or cold weather
until next March. The winter will be
the mildest on record"

The Boss Turkey.

Jack House, belonging to Mrs. II. w.
House, of South Bend, Ind, is undoubt-
edly the largest turkey in the United
States, for he weighs 81 pounds, is seven
feet from tip to tip of his wings and
will combat a strong man like an ath
lete by flying up and striking with his
powerful wings. He is a splendid bird,
says the Chicago Evening News, with
an opalescent waffle that changes
from vivid vermilion to blush white
according to his moods. Every feather
on his body is brilliant bronze and his
tail is exquisitely tipped with a silver
fringe. Mrs. House planned sending
him to President Mckinley for a
Thanksgiving feast, but Jack has won
too many honors for his extraordinary
size and beauty to be sacrificed for a
festive occasion. In Jacks early tur-
keyhood he was sold on the butchers
block at live-weight rates. Mrs. House
saw his possibilities and bought him for
seven cents a pound. She clipped his
toenails and he became as harmless as
dove. Bronze turkeys are invariably
the heaviest, ranging from 20 to sc
pounds, and their flesh is tender and
juicy. Narragansetts weigh from is to
30 pounds; black is TO 27; white
Holland, 16 to &c; slate, 12 to
p, and the buff, from 10 to 26 pounds.
Tons of dressed turkeys are shipped
into large cities at holiday time and the
buyer may rest assured that every bird
has been source of anxiety to some
overworked farmers wife, for the fowls
generally belong to the women. Mrs.
House raises hundreds of turkeys every
year, but Jack is the banner bird of Tie
nation, as has been proved at many
show east and west of the Mississippi.

The mistakes and complications which
