Ration for Young TurReys,.

Feed the young turkeys stale wheat
and corn bread. A few hard-boiled
eggs mixed in the bread with a little
salt and pepper is good for the first
week. Don't forget to give then,
plenty of grit in the way of sand
mixed with. their feed or broken
shells, dishes or. lime rock. The nam
thing to keep turkeys healthy and
growing fat is to keep them clear of
lice. Commence on the old hen, be-
fore they are Matched. Dust the hen
twice a week with ashes and few
drops of coal oil added, grease the
hen and young turkeys as soon as
they are Matched with fresh butter
or lard with a drop or two of cosl
oil to every teaspoonful.

No Wonder.

A few years ago a rich merchant,
as reward for long service and
faithful attention to duties, released
his head clerk from his ordinary pur-
suits and sent him into the country
to manage large farm which had
been neglected and the finances Of
which were in bad way. The next
morning in company with a friend,
the new manager was looking about
round the fields and meadows when
he perceived one of the laborers
sowing wheat. 'tAh." exclaimed he,

NY Ll1TLef BOY.

When my little boy is gone.
House so lonesome all the day.
I can hardly stand the quiet
And want to get away.
Silence seems like something real
And 1t settles like a stone
On my heart until-God help me!
When my little boy is gone.
When my little boys away.
Everything seems kind of blue:
And his playthings in the corner
Act as II they missed him, too,
Hold their little hands to me.
Like there's something they would say
Mutely calling for their master
When my little boys away.
But thank God for this.
Is is only for a while
Till I'll hear his happy pratt1e
And will see his dimpled smile.
With heart of gratitude
For the hope I thus enjoy.
Do pray the common Father
To protect my little boy.
I would rather see his face,
Hear his happy laughter ring.
Have him tell me tl1dt he loves me.
Than to be sceptered king.
And ask no boon but this Il
Just to hear him at his plays, 5$@'-a
That the child who came from Heaven
May abide with me Away
When my little boy comes back, ].
He'll drive out this beastly quiet;,3ss
He will fllsthe still, old house
With his happy, childish riot: ~
All mis- playthings will be. glad. u
And there won't be any lack -
OF the sweetness of the sunshine j
When my little boy comes back.

An Uncomfortable Experiences.

An experience, likened by Lon
don paper to being tarred and feath-
cred, recently occurred to some cy-
clists near Birmingham. A. barrel Of
molasses was broken open in the
road. Unaware Of the catastrophe,
9 party of cyclists dashed along the
thoroughfare, and were soon in the
middle of the black and sticky fluid.
Some of them dismounted and waded
through the stuff to dry land, but
the machines Of three less lucky in
dividuals skidded and launched the
riders right in the middle of the
treacle, their efforts to get out of
their ENHANCEMENT causing great
deal of amusement to a crowd of
people who witnessed the occur,

The leaves are short and curly and the
foliage has characteristic gray color,
rather common in plants adapted to
dry regions. The plants form soft
sod and provide very nourishing ra-
ton to the animals that feed upon
them. They spread by runners or
PROSTATE stems, which creep along the
ground roofing at intervals.
There are poor farmers because
their farming is poor.

Sir Lionel spent his time roaming

lon Deschappelles goodbye, in, the
grove near the bend of the river, he
wandered out after dinner, and, as
usual, followed. Once or twice, as
we walked through the village, 4
thought I saw figure skulling in
the shadows, but could not be sure.
Sir Lionel walked along by the
riverside for a while, and then, re-
tracing his steps, paced back and
forth under the arching trees, with
his head bowed and barred to the
night breeze. Once I heard him groan
like man in mortal pain and my
heart grieved at the agony of spirit
1 knew to be his. I doubt not, as
he paced back and forth, with the
same song of the river in his ears,
and the same heavy fragrance of
roses about him, that had come to
him on that moonlit night, just two
years before, that he was recalling
in travail of soul her every word and
gesture.

on the very stroke, a figure emerged
