THE REAL THING.
Where the Reptiles Were
Doubtless Raised.

Less genuine tortoise shell is Imported
In New York from India now than there
has been for a great many years, owing to
the active efforts of the Jains. This, says
the New York Times, is an influential sect
of humanitarians with headquarters at
Bombay, but with thriving communities
throughout the empire. Their mission on
behalf of the tortoise is much the same
as that of the Audubon societies in this
country with regard to birds. Great
cruelties, the Jams allege, are practiced
in the tortoise shell trade, and they are
trying to stop it, A woman who had read
about this movement went into a Broad
way. store and looked at some tortoise shell
combs.
But are they genuine!" she asked.

"Oh, yes, these are genuine" replied the
dealer. "We get them from our own
agents, direct from Tortoi."

Turning Cows On Young Rye.

The practice of turning cows on
young rye in the fall is good one, but
when the ground is very wet, damage
may result. Grazing the rye causes 1t
to stool, and the young rye provides
green food; but while the rye field
may be used for the cows in the fall,
they should not be turned on too early
in the spring. 1t does not do so much
harm for cows to change from grass to
rye, as it does from dry food in spring
to the young rye.-Farmers' Home
