schools are educating their scholars
better In rural affairs than the country

part Of the course. Each scholar has
to germinate seeds in saucers OF water,
sketch their appearance. carry them to

them under the microscope; then at the
final examination for graduation they
have to pass a written examination in
zoology and plant life The CONNER

IN The TURKEY SEASON.

An Expert Tells of Housing, Heavy
Feeding and a Fine Finish.
Old corn is better than new for heavy
feeding of turkeys, as the latter is apt
TO cause looseness OF the bowels. If
necessary to use new corn, it should be
Introduced into the ration gradually.
II poults have gained a strong. we'll de-
veloped physique by early fall they
will be in fine condition for heavy
feeding. AS soon as they have become
accustomed to grain feeding they may
be fed once or even twice a day on
ground oats and cornmeal mixed with
milk. This should be given in addition
to an abundance OF wheat and corn.
They should be fed each time just
what they will eat up clean with a rel
ish. Feed the grain mornings and even
ings and the mixture at noon or twice
between morning and evening, as best
suits your convenience. See that plen-
ty Of sharp grit is always at hand for
their use and provide a constant sup
ply Of fresh water where they may
help themselves.
Comfort In Cold, Snowy Weather.
In cold climates where shelter must
be provided for turkeys a house may
be built that is fashioned after many

placed in front close to the roof and

Cbcaper Fooa For Hoa,.

The price Of corn is a little high.
and many farmers who have a good
bunch Of hogs on hand are doing some
hard thinking and close figuring. Those
who have kept their hogs yarded all
summer and have fed them a good
deal Of corn are thinking they are go
ing to come out at the little end of the
horn. Those who have raised their
hogs on clover pasture are feeling bet
ter and can see some profit in finishing
them up in the best manner even with
corn close around 80 cents. The only
man know who can see any profit
in Ms yard raised pigs is one who has
been feeding them rape and sweet corn
all summer, and he counted the cutting
and drawing of the feed merely one Of
his chores. 1t is gradually being fore
ed into the mind Of the farmer who
farms az random that the only way to
make hog raising profitable is to car
~ them through the summer on green
food largely and that the cheapest and
best green food is clover.-Fred Grun-
dy in Farm and Fireside.

what annoyed her the worst of all was
the fact that she felt that she was not

The roosts should be placed on a level
in the front Of the house, with a sliding
or rolling door In the rear. Only light
enough is needed for the turkeys to see
the way to and from the roosts. The
door should be left open all day that
they may come and go at pleasure.
Within this house they may be fed in
cold, snowy weather.
Finishing For Fancy Market.
Some who grow turkeys for a fancy
market feed them chestnuts and celery
|seed during the last few weeks Of fat
tening. These are rather expensive ar
ticles Of food and can only be used by
those who sell their product for almost
double the average market price. Such
feeding imparts a pleasant flavor that
adds value to the turkeys which are
finished in this way, and these find
ready sale at the highest prices for the
tables Of those with whom cost is a
minor consideration. Where the scale
OF prices is regulated solely by quail
& ty the finest selected grades will sell
from to u cents per pound higher
than will the lower grades. To grow
Lthe best is quite as easy and but little
more expensive than to grow the poor
er grades, and the profit gained is al
most double.-T. q. McGrew.

'Now, see here" he said frankly,
you're calling yourself all sorts OF
things because we haven't been intro
duced. It's all nonsense. don't you
know. We were bound TO meet after
the conventional fashion some day.
Something -er-tells me So"
1t may have been that Margaret
wanted TO get out I'm the fresh air or
IL may have been because she felt IL
her duty to change the expression in
his eyes which were looking at her so
eagerly. He strobe down TO the purs-
er's room and paid the price OF the
best stateroom on the boat. which gave
them access to a tiny patch of deck
room shut in on the other side by a
lifeboat. a stack OF life preservers and
a most uncompromlsing railing. From
this point Margaret viewed the beauti-
full panorama of the Palisades. and
the young man. loyal New Yorker that
he was, insisted that It was purely his
duty to make his state show up at its
best.
The last ten OF fifteen minutes Of
the trip were uncomfortable ones for
Margaret. Mrs. Grundy whispered in
one ear that she had already been in
discreet, and it was her duty to drop
the young man forever. Her sense OF
fairness whispered in the other ear that
she owed him something for his cour-
tesy.
AS they gathered up their traps to
disembark II was quite evident that
the young man was not giving himself
any anxiety over the situation. He
took her checks. He even accepted
Pedro as a matter of course. He led
the way TO a hanson without asking
her so much as where she was going
When she and Pedro were settled in
the vehicle the young man stood with
one foot on the step.
"Will you tell him to take me to the
Grand CentralT" she asked.
II have already done So" said the
young man placidIy. and, without hest
tation, he sprang into the hanson and
sat down beside her.
Margaret was speechless, not sure
whether she was glad or sorry. Was
the young man trying TO kidnap her
or was he a mind reader? She was Ger
tain she had dropped no hint as to hel
destination.
