HOW to Raise Turkeys.

Secure a box about fourteen inches
square and about eight inches deep.
Put some dry dirt in this box first
with a little Stacked lime mixed in it,
then some soft straw. Place not over
ten to eleven eggs in the one so pre-
pared nest. After they have been
sat upon eighteen to twenty days
dampen them with a little warm
water. In four or five days repeat it.
When the turkeys have Matched do
not be in hurry to get them out Of
the nest. On a warm day twelve
hours is soon enough, and upon a cold
day twenty-four hours is better.
When you take them out place them
in a dry, warm, clean coop and feed
on hard boiled milk TO drink. Feed
regularly three times a day for the
first two or .nree days, then feed five
times a day regularly.
At firstslit turks need to be kept
quiet and warm and do not need much
food. After they are about five days
old feed light breadcrumbs and curd
four times a day, but at night give a
little egg. Give all the milk they will
consume if you can afford it. When
about three weeks old let them out
for two hours in the heat of the day,
but do not let them get wet or cold.
After they are six week of age they
will give no more trouble than a
strong, healthy chicken.-A. V.

Advent OF Resurrection Day Hailed
with Melody and Praise.
NO more diyinely appropriate express
sion of the Moravians' love of music and
their appreciation of its inspiriting power
is to be found than in their sublime
annuncation of the Resurrection day"
writes Clifford Howard, descriptive of
"a Moravian Easter Dawn" in the La
dies Home Journal. Through the quiet
streets (of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in
the early morn, the trOmbonists walk
from place to place, pouring forth their
grand inspiring anthem that arouses the
Slumbering town TO the welcome knowl-
edge of the advent of this glorious day.
Now here, now there. now everywhere
the lights appear within the windows of
the dwellings, and the streets are throng-
ed with people, young and old, vending
their way from all directions toward the
church, and greeting one another with
loving salutations of the day. The Eas-
ter service is begun within the church
and is continued there until the brighten
ing sky announces the advent of the
dawn. Then, in slow procession, subdued
and reverent, the people pass without the
doors, and, headed by the trombonists,
solemnly ascend the winding hill to their
beloved and quaint old burying ground.
Within the closure of this eonsecrat-
ed spot the congregation assemblies and
stands in a large semi-circle facing the
eastern hill in fond anticipation of the
emblem of it's cherished faith A little
apart stand the minister's and the from
bone choir. Thus assembled the service
of song and responsive readings. begun
in the church. is continued. \ sense of
deep, religious awe pervades the gath
cred throng, as on this cold, gray morn
ing of the early spring they await, in
spiritual communion with their departed
loved ones, the Resurrection hour Above
the hill the dawning light appears. Then
from the voices of the assembled host
there bursts a melody of raptured song,
a heartfelt hymnu of praise and adora-
ton, spontaneous symphony of Joy,
that starts in glad expression of triumph
ant hearts, and mingling with the full,
resounding strains of sweet-toned trum-
pets and resonant trombones, arises with
the warbling song of joyous birds in glad
hosannas to the splendent sky. For see.
a radiant light o'erspreads the earth A
wondrous glory halls the newborn day.
The sun appears in fulgency sublime
Gods symbol of the resurrected life; and
earth 'and heaven in exulting joy peal
forth in glad, antiphOnal accord: The
Lord is risen. Hallelujah, praise the

To Tell the Age of sheen.

Dentition in sheep is irregular, de-
pending greatly upon the care and
food they receive; hence it is unre-
liable in some cases in determining
age. A sheep has eight incisors in
lower jaw. The two in the center are
called the central incisors'; one on
each side of these the internal lat
eral," one on each side of these the
external lateral" and those on the
outside the corner" Under ordinary
circumstances, dc4..t.on IS as follows:
At from twelve to fifteen months, the
central permanent incisors are up and
IN wear; at from eighteen to twenty
four months, the Internal lateral per-
manent incisors are up and in wear;
at from twenty-seven to thirty three
months, the external lateral perma-
nent incisors are up and in wear; at
from three TO four years the corners
are up and in wear. OF course, the
first teeth are temporary. and these
are shed and replaced by permanent
ones at the ages mentioned. 1t re-
quires considerable practice to enable
man to tell the age of any animal
by the teeth, and especially in sheep
or cattle where dentition is so irreg-
ular.-EXchange.

Good Hog Feed.

The prominent institute lecturer,
Mr.. Theodore Lewis, has the following
to say regarding the use of pumpkins
and squash for the feeding of hogs:
Il want to suggest a profitable in
vestment of little labor and still less
cash. Take from a half to a full acre
of corn field that lies nearest to the
barn yard, that is likely to be we'll
supplied with manure, and give it
liberal dressing of that material. Then
plow it under as soon as possible, and
stake off the plat so that it's boundar-
les will be well known. When pre-
pairing the corn field be sure to give this
particular piece a specially good har-
rowing. When marking the field for
corn, probably from May 10 to Is,
| mark this plat also, one way. but
plant no corn on it. When the field is
narrowed to kill the sprouting weeds
and grass, as it should be before and
after the corn is up, do not neglect
the implanted portion.
about May %, if the season is or
| dinarily favorable, plant this plat to
squash, but not the hard she'll kind.
or to pumpkins, or both Plant eight
feet apart each way, and put in plenty
of seed so as TO give cut worms or
squash bugs their fill and have plants
left. When the insects have departed
thin the plants to four or five to the
hill, if the insects did not do the
thinning. Each time the corn is cul-
tiTated 90 through the squash patch
until the vines get too large to allow
it. In this way the vines are not
injured by cultivation Of the corn.
IF the season is at all favorable
there will be tons of squashes and
pumpkins on tn ground, and they can
be got at withor driving over a large
field to gether them, and will avoid
waiting for them until the corn is ma
tured and cut up. This makes it pos
sible to begin feeding them earlier.
and so lengthens the feeding season
of a kind of material that is very
beneficial TO hogs as they are changed
from the pastures to the fsttening pen
for early market And nothing better

rules as follows:
First.-Fill the soil with humus.
Second-Remove the stagnant

Third-Apply lime TO the soil where
needed.
Fourth-Sow the seed on a good
