question of comparative value between

many OF the limitations are harmful, irri-

GOOD GAMES FOR
THE AFTERNOON.


After the big Thanksgiving dinner
has been disposed Of, the young folks
will want to be entertained in some
other way. Let the fun begin with
rousing game called the Turk-he. For
this huge turban is made Of newspa-
per, and lots are cast to decide who
will first wear it. The person to whom
the chance falls then dons the cap,
and is known as his sublime highness
the great Turk-he The Turk-he mar
shals all the company into a haS cir
Gle before him. He begins at once to
put questions to his subjects. The
rule of the game DEGREES that If the
Turk-he asks question in which the
words "and," '1f" why" will" or
don't" one or all of them figure, the
subject remains silent. II the SEN
tence contains none Of those words,
the subject is obliged to answer i'm
mediately. The excitement Of the
game consists in the rapidity in which
the questions are put, AM the neces-
sity answering without much re-
Election. Any player who fails to an
swer when he should, or who answers
when he should not, is obliged TO per
form some ludicrous feat by order of
the TurlK-he.
Spelling "Turkey."
Get box OF anagram letters and
you are ready for still another mirth-
provoking game. Pour the chips into
paper or cloth bag. and shake up
well, in order to break up all former
combinations. Each person In turn
puts his hand into the bag and takes
out one chip. This continues until no
chips remain. Great secrecy must be
observed, no player allowing any 9th
er player glimpse Of his chips.
When all the chips have been dis
tributed the players sit or stand in a
circle, and the object OF the game is
explained. Everyone Is to try to be
first in forming the word turkey
with the letters. This can be done
through the passing of the chips from
one person to another. Each player
passes to his lefthand neIghbor
the letter which he thinks he is less
likely to need. This passing must be
continuous. A player is not allowed to
retain a letter because he thinks he
may require 1t by and by. II It Is not
already in sequence for building the
word he Is obliged to pass it along
that, of course. unless his hand con.
tains another with which he would
prefer TO part.
For example, II the required =" and
III" are already in his hand. he is not
obliged to pass on the r." but If he
holds the It" u" and II" but not the

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop
Bulletin.

Cotton has continued to improve
and looks very well, though it is still
small; blooms are plentiful along
the southern tier of counties in the
southeast portion cotton is fruiting
well. Corn is growing rapidly, and
the crop is generally very promising
laying by corn is still underway in
the west, elsewhere most of the old
corn has been laid by in silk and tas-
sci; some corn is reported to be-tas-
selling low, and there are few com
plants of damage by !chinch bugs;
upland corr would be benefited by
more rain. Cutting and curing to-
bacco is now underway in more than
a dozen counties, and this work will
claim a large share of the farmers
attention for some weeks to come;
SO far tobacco has cured well; late
set tobacco is making rather slow
growth. Sweet potatoes are now
very promising; Irish potatoes are
maturing in the west. Gardens con-
tinue to yield the ordinary vegeta-
bles in abundance; tomatoes are
ripening everywhere. Cantaloupes
and w~atermelons are coming into
market in small quantities, but gem
orally melons are late and poor.
Meadows and pastures have inn
proved in the west, and the second
crop of clover appears to be promis-
ing. The prospects for fruit are still
good; peaches are rotting to
some extent and apples are falling at
a period too late to suppose that the
thinning of the crop will benefit the
yield materially.

For instance, he says one farmer

Another used two bags and thrashed
two bushels, one pint and twelve
grains of wheat. Both were meas
ured by Mr.. Waddll. Three other
farmers positively refused to spend
their time cutting their wheat at
all.
