Willie Wanted III. "pad -

When Willie Simminds. of McIndoes,
VT. was about eighteen, his folks
moved to Boston, leaving Willie in
McIndoes. After a while Willie de-
cided to JOIN them, so started out alone
for the big city.
He had never been in the city be-
fore, and thought every one should
know evory one else. as in the town
where he came from. Arriving in
Boston, he was rather surprised at the
greatness OF everything and at the
number OF people on the streets.
After looking around for while and
not seeing anyone that he knew, he
finally saw a man in uniform whom
he thought must be very important
person, and would certainly know his
father. So he walked up TO the SUI
prlsed officer and sad Say, mist-i

Parilamonts of Canada and New Zealand

Pariiaments OF Canada and New Zealand
Canada's original name was New
France" and large proportion of its
population, principally in the Province
OF Quebec, is of French descent and
speaks the French language. Most of
the French-Canadian NJ. P.'s, espe-
cially the Prime Minister. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, can speak excellent English
also. They may use whichever Ian
guage they please in the Canadian
Parliament, but there has been an in
creasing tendency during recent years
TO employ English. In the New
Zealand Parliament, where the Maories
or tattooed natives have separate rep
resentatlon, the case Is somewhat diff
ferent. Interpreters translate the
speeches of the Maori members into
English, and as the Maories are very
fluent and indulge in good deal of
poetic imagery the process becomes
protracted and tedious at times. The
record for sustained yerbosity in the
New Zealand Parliament is held by a
Maori member named Sydney Tai
whanga, who was once heard In our
own Exeter Hall In one debate on
native affairs he held the floor for
nine solid hours.-London Chronicle.

1t is interesting to know what man
of General Booths age and vitality
lives on. Here is his days menu;
For breakfast he takes a moderate
quantity of buttered toast, with strong
tea and an equal portion OF milk. Be-
tween breakfast and lunch he eats a
few raisins. For lunch he has a
bowl of vegetable soup with dry toast
soaked In 1t, vegetables, especially po-
tatoes cooked in their jackets, and
whatever green stuff. is in season,
Hhen he sleeps from quarter to halt
an hour. Tea is similar to breakfast
with the occasional addition Of few
mushrooms. For supper he takes in
variably plate of rice and milk.

How to press Turkeys.

We have an inquiry from one of our
readers at Senola, Ga, asking how to
dress turkeys for shipping, and we
shall. in general way, give sufficient
information to guide one in this matter.
The first thing to do is to find out
just what the market wants, whether
dry-picked or scalded, and whether
wanted with feet and heads on or
whether drawn or not
This information is necessary be-
cause markets differ much. and, of
course, the public must be pleased If
to be Gry-picked and not drawn the
turkeys must have nothing to eat for
twenty-four before being killed, so that
the crops and stomachs may become
entirely emptied. This is important, as
any food left undlgested will surely
sour and spoil the sale OF the turkeys.
If head and feet are TO be left on the
turkeys are first suspended by the feet
and killed by pressing a sharp-ponted
knife up through roof of mouth into
the brain.
AS soon as this is done begin to
pluck the feathers from the body and
complete the job as quickly as posi-,
bic, because after the muscles con.
tract the feathers tighten. Leave the
feathers on up to the first joint of the
wing and also about two inches on the
head. Wash the beak and feet, but dc
not SINCE the body or soil the feathers
on the neck.
DO not remove the crop or intestines
Hang the fowls In a cool place until the
animal heat has passed out and thel
pack In boxes, laying rs many on bot
tom with backs down as can be fitted
in without crushing. Then lay in an
other row, reversing their position, ant
so continue Until the box is filed. II
when all are packed, there is still room

burlap, so that the turkeys will remain
in their positions as packed.
II the market wants them scalded
with heads and feet off, they may he
fed up TO the time OF killing.
Sever their heads with an Ak, and
after they have ceased to struggle
plunge them in hot water, scarcely
boiling hot. for short time, just long
enough TO loosen the feathers. Pick
them clean and remove all pin feath-
ers. but do not SINCE. and as soon as
done, plunge them In tub of cold wa
ter for a few minutes Then make a
small incislon just at point of shoul-
der and remove the crop: then one
just below the legs. and remove in
testlnes and glzzard. Wash all the
blood from the inside and clean and
wash the liver and gizzard and return
to inside. Cut off the feet and push the
ends of the legs through the opening
made TO remove intestines. Pull the
skin over the end of the neck and tie
1t with small string Let them cool
thoroughly and pack as before stated.
II there are large and small turkeys,
pack the large ones on bottom and the
small ones on top, but be careful never
TO pack them until cooled. Be care
full not to tear or bruse the flesh. as
the sale of many good fowls is spoiled
by poor dressing.-Home and Farm.

Real Use ofiha Nae,s Sting.

"The bees sting is a trowel, not n
rapler." said nature student, as lie
helped himself to honey. "It is an
exquisitely delicate little trowel with
which the bee finishes off the honey
cell, injects little preseryatlve inside,
and seals it up.
with its trowel-like sting the bee
puts the final touches on its dainty
and wonderful work. With this sting
1t pats and shapes the honey cell as a
mason pats and shapes row of brick
Before sealing up the cell it drops q
wee bit of poison into the honey. This
is formic acid; without it, honey would
spoil.
Most OF us think the bees sting.
with its poison, is weapon only. 1t is
Il weapon secondarlly, but primarily it
is magic trowel. trowel from whose
end, as the honey cells are built up,

We have received many letters from
several sections of the country saying
that the fowls were troubled with
colds-some slightly, some more severe
ly, and some yet in advanced cases of
fully dereloped roup.
The first attacks require but q few
days time to cure, but when once roup
in an liberated form develops, there is
no possible chance to save the fowl,
and the sooner it is killed the better it
will be.
Colds, or to be more exact. the first
symptoms of roup, are the result of
exposure TO cold rains, damp houses or
filth.
Remove the cause and you effect a
cure, but If you neglect to do so, the
disease goes on step by step until it is
beyond the power of man to cure.
Keep the house and yards clean
drain off the water and tighten up the
roof so that it will not leak. Fix up
the scratching shed so that the fowls
may work without having TO stay out
side; give them clean, fresh water to
drink and good wholesome food to eat.
and they will not catch colds and roup.

Bear in mind that it takes grit, pa.
thence and a considerable amount of
gumption to develop a well-tralned
horse from a nervous high strung colt.
Stables with narrow doors are apt
to cause accidents to both man and
beast 1t costs no more to have them
wide than to have them narrow, and
they are much better.
Probably the brood mare. if she is
good. is the most valuable animal on
the place. FLere is little danger OF
overstockins the market for the pres
ent 1t is nothing uncommon for a
good colt to bring more than the mare
cost.
The scrawny colts sometimes make
good horses; good horses sometimes
have very ordinary colts. Because
they are thoroughbred should not make
them breeders. They should have
qualities themselves.
A horse that is a reasonably good
eater, is very much like a man who
eats reasonably. He does good work
and is not sluggish. Whatever is eaten
that does not go into strength must be
worked Off or go into fat.

Virtue of Deer PlomInr.

In the Wisconsin Farmer we find an
article on the "Virtue of Deep Plow-
ing rhe method described answers
the purpose, but with a good two
horse plow and jointer "a small plow
attached to the BEAM one man could
do the work with one team as well
and much faster than if done in the
way described.
One of our subscribers, of Holt. No.,
sends the following communication
l have been considerably interested
in what you have to say on preparing
sod land for crop of corn. l have
a plan which / think is very salts
factory, though my blowing is general
ly done in the fall. 1 use two plows,
one following the other. The first
is a twelvc-inch plow run to a depth
of about two inches, while the second
cut fourteen inches and is run in the
bottom of the first furrow, cutting
about four inches deep, thus making
the furrow total depth of six inches
The second is mostly loose dirt and is
thrown on top of the slice of sod which
is placed in the bottom of the deep
furrow every time.
| have found that land plowed in
this way requires very little work to
prepare an ideal seed bed in the spring.
and two civilizations will keep the
corn crop almost entirely free from
weeds or grass. You will see that in
this way the sod remains in the bot
tom of the furrow during the first
year, and one never experiences any
difficulty on account of the cultivators
bringing it up, providing these are run
fairly shallow.
The shallow year this land should
be broken to the bottom of the sod,
which is well rotted by this time. The
second crop. when such a plan is car.
ried out. will be rather larger than
the first, as it will be found that the
sod has completely rotted the first
year.
We have known a number Of in
| stances where plan of this kind has
been carried out with much success
| Where one is absolutely sure that the
new meadows will come through the
winter in good shape it is generally
advisable to plow sod in the fall. This
most farmers will agree on, because a
better opportunity is afforded for the
sod to rot. However. there will be GER
tain conditions under which the plow-
ing of two burrows in the manner de-
scrlbed may not be altogether the prop
er thing. If, for example, the soil is
composed of any considerable part OF
clay. plowing it to a depth of six or
seven inches will bring good deal of
harsh soil to the surface. OF course it
will be weathered during the winter
and spring, but even then we doubt
II the inert material will be sufficiently
browen down to insure a good crop.
However, we like the plan suggested
by this subscriber of getting rid of the
surface tough sod. This in itself will
possibly in many cases justify the eX-
ira labor involved in plowlng ground
in this manner. If others of our sub
scrlbers have tried this plan and have
found it to be satisfactory we shall
be glad to hear from them.
