Since using it / have to my great

months since he left off coffee and be-

cause of the trouble.
You may depend upon it that we
know how to make Postum good, and
that is easy, If one will use sufficient

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 II eggs; at the
same time set two chickens on II 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 a day all they will eat.
Do not give raw corn meal; if fed at
all, 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.
I find by keeping the young tur-
keys in pen 1Ox10 feet and IL inches
high for 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.

PRESERVING EGGS.
The Water Glass Method, Very Popu.
lar In Germany, Has Proved to
BE the Best.

OF 20 German methods of preserving
eggs the three which proved the most
effective are coating the eggs with
vaseline, preserving them in lime wa
ter, and preserving them in water
glass. There is a drawback to the
water glass method; the shell easily
bursts in boiling water. This. how
ever may be prevented by piercing the
shell with a strong needle. This OBJ
lection having been conceded, the wa
ter glass method heads the list, as
vanishing the eggs with vaseline
takes great deal of time. and treat
ing them with lime water is apt to
give them disagreeable odor. In
most packed eggs the yolk, sooner OF
later, begins to settle on one side and
the egg at once begins to depreciate'
This does not happen when water
glass is used. and the eggs retain a
surprising freshness. In one test 1t
was found that ten per cent. solu-
ton of water glass preserved the eggs
so effectually that at the end of three
and half months eggs that were
packed on August appeared perfect
ly fresh. A gallon of water glass,
which will cost so cents, will make
enough solution to preserve so dozen
eggs

"Hush, they're going to begin"
The entertainment proceeded after
the manner of such affairs; the little
girls spoke and sang; alone, by twos
and threfs, and in choruses, and gener-
ally disported themselves according to
tradition and custom, while delighted
fathers and mothers and aunts and I'M

ly those sitting by the windows were
conscious of little glimmerings of heat

banking up in the west. But there was

the perspiring audience curious feel

growl of thunder; but still there was
no wind.
At last, to Uncle Georges unspeak-
able relief, it came Mabel's turn, and
she stepped up to the piano resolutely.
Uncle George leaned over neryously
and spoke to the very stout gentleman,
who had now achieved brand new
shade of purple: "Who ever hung that
flag two inches from the gas jet over
my little girls head, had murder In his
eye. 1t wouldn't take but puff to set
it ablaze." Fatal words. There came a
binding flash of lightning and clap
of thunder like rifle shot, and with it
a fierce gust of wind that set the gas
Pickering and viciously flung the flag
against the flame. Instantly it caught
and with snap and crackle blazed up.

DIFFERENCE IN BEES.
Figures Demonstrate That Some Of
the Busy Insects Are Not ~
Busy a. Others.

The thought is familiar to farmers
that it takes about the same to keep
a poor cow as good one, the chief
profit in herd of mixers sometimes
depending largely on few extra good
ones, but the thought may not be so
familiar that the same thing obtains
with bees. 1t is none the less true.
1t sometimes happens in poor sea-
son that one colony stores quite bit
of surplus for it's owner, while anoth-
err colony sitting right beside it not
only gives no surplus but does not
gather enough for its own support,
but has to be fed for winter. 1t
should be remembered that the great
ter part of what the bees gather
from the flowers does not find its way
into the surplus boxes, but into the
brood chamber to be eaten by the
bees themselves. writer in Clean
ings puts the matter in this fashion:
The flowers within range of my
home yard give on an average yearly.
say, 10000 pounds of honey. Now. if
1 keep the average run of bees it will
take about 100 colonies to gather it.
or 100 pounds of honey for each col
ony. OF this it will take about 70
pounds to keep each colony year
leaving me only 30 pounds surplus to
the colony, or 5000 pounds from the
whole yard. But if I keep stronger
and more Industrious bees, so that
each colony would gather IN
pounds, it would require but II col
onies to gather the whole 10000
pounds; and as it would not require
any more to keep each colony than II
| does the poorer stock. I should get
5000 pounds of surplus instead o.
5000 pounds when / had to keep 10t
colonies, to say nothing of the smallel
number of colonies to care for, o.
hives to keep in repair. And what /.
true of my home yard is true to ,
greater or less extent Of any othel
yards.

Sell. Fowl. 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. Tie time to sell the
cockerels is on the first day that
enough of them Of marketable size
can be gathered together for a ship
ment. Most farmers put of 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.
