Facts Abont Turkeys.

Inbreeding will quickly invite fail.
ure
Breeding turkeys can be profitably
kept up to the fifth year.
Breeders generally will not breed
from the same gobbler more than
one year, unless the same breeding
hens are also retained
In the selection of Bronze turkey
breeders, the body should be long and
deepest at the centre, with a full
breast, broad back, strong thighs and
shanks of moderate length. In young
birds the shanks are dead black,
but they grow lighter with age, until
they become of pink or flesh color.
The hen turkey is more in demand
in market than is the male.
A medium-sized carcass sells best.
Mashed potatoes mixed with corn
meal, alternated with shelled corn,
is the most general diet used for fat
tening turkeys.
When the least indisposed the tur-
key will hold its head down between
its shoulders and refuse food
During incubation a turkey can
cover from fifteen to twenty eggs,
while an ordinary hen cannot cover
more than half that number.
Eight hens to a cock is a good
mating, and which should produce
about 200 young.
Geer says the market turkey should
be shorter in legs and neck than is
nd f,,1I In, hf
breast.
A good plan, in killing turkeys, is
to tie their feet together. hand the
bird on a pole, and then cut the
throat so as to bleed freely. They
should be dry-picked, leaving head
and wings on. After being picked,
dip in hot water, and then in cold,
which will give the skins a fresher
look.
Some turkey raisers prefer market
ing the toms in the month of Decem-
Der, and keep the hens until later,
so that they may increase in weight
and command a better price.
A plump young turkey, dressing
from eight to fifteen pounds. finds
market at almost any season of the
year.
If in good condition when put up,
turkey hens can be fattened in about
three weeks time, but cocks would
require a week or more longer.
An English writer says there are
two points to consider before choos-
ing the breed of turkey, viz, whether
the birds are to be reared with the
purpose of making profit with them.
or whether they are only for home
consumption. II the former he se-
lects the Bronze variety. He says
for profit it is purely question of
obtaining birds of the heaviest posi-
bic weight when they are from six
to nine months old He further says
that not only does this breed produce
heavy weight, but quality of flesh
is also obtained. ed.-Poultryman.

and consequently deformity. This
may mot particularly injure the ca.
pacity for producing eggs, but In
show specimen 1t is liable to disqual.
ify the fowl.
Many experienced poultrymen rec
ommend fat perch at least three
inches wide, while some think four
inches wide still better.
If the chicks take to the perches
too yShng, of their own accord, the
only course Is TO remove the perches
and compel them to remain on the
floor. Be careful that the floor is
kept free from lice and the chicks
will usually remain there contentedly.
Even though deformed pullets lay
as many eggs, we who take pride In
flocks of pure bloods do not wish de-
formity, whether we are exhibitors
or not.

A Man Worth knowing.

should like to know a man who
just minded his duty and troubled
himself about nothing; who did his
own work and did not interfere with
Gods. How nobly he would work
working not for reward, but because
it was the will of Cod How happily
he would receive his food and cloth
ing, receiving them as the gifts OF
God! What peace would be his!
What a sober gayety! How hearty
and infectious his laughter. What a
friend he would be! How sweet his
sympathy! And his mind would be
so clear he would understand every
thing. His eye being single, his
whole body would be fun of light.
No fear of his ever doing a mean
thing He would lie in a ditch rather.
It is the fear Of want that makes men
do mean things.-George Macdonald.

Protected Milk Pail.

That many of the odors and much
of the dirt which gets into milk is
during the process of milking, most
OF us know, hence every precaution
to overcome this should be taken.
One of the best methods of protect
ing the milk in the pail is to arrange
a cover of tin and cheese cloth. says
the indianapolis Sentinel. Have a
tin cover made to go over the pail
loosely so as to allow for the space
taken by the cloth strainer The tin
cover should be higher in the centre

Is not that we have not the money

ginning. It is not that we have not
numbers or able leaders or that
Christ has proven false. The fault
lies with us. The Church of Jesus
Christ is not alive to the possibilities
of the indwelllng of the Holy Spirit.
The Church needs Christ in her
heart.
The fault lies not with Cod It
lies with us. We, It is, who have been
content with but a portion of His
grace when He would have given to
us all We. It is who have been con-
tent to drift and almost 20 drown,

world that the Christ life 's practical

The importance of the salt product
as an article OF commerce may not be
generally known. About nine-tenths
of the amount consumed is of home
production, amounting to nearly
twenty-six million barrels, or about
one barrel for every three persons in
the country. Most of the salt is pro-
duced in Michigan and New York. 1t
Is largely used in industries of meat
packing and fish curing and dairy
ing, also for various other manufac-
lures The average price last year
was little over twenty-three cents
a barrel, which is below that of the
previous year.

Chrl3t's sorrows on earth are only
an illustration of His sorrows in heay-
en- over our sinfulness and rebellion.
Christ had one consolation in His
sorrows, the knowledge that endless
good would come from them.
Have we the spirit of Christ? In
that measure we shall grieve over
sin.
Consider what most men grieve
over, as poverty, neglect, pain; and
Christ wasted no grief on such mat
ters.
