SELECTING TURKEY STOCK.
Few Rules Observed to Advantage
VIII Insure Co.'s Stock.


First-Always use as breeders tur-
key hens over one year old Be sure
they are strong, healthy, and vigor-
Gus, and Of good medium size. In no
instance select the smaller ones. Do
not strive to have them unnaturally
large.
Second-The male may be year
ling or older. Do not imagine that
the large oyergrown males are the
best. Strength, health, and vigor,
with well.proportioned medium size
are the main points Of excellence.
Third-Avoid close breeding. New
blood is of vital importance to tur-
keys. Better send a thousand miles
for new male than to risk the
chances Of inbreeding. Secure one in
the fall so as TO be assured OF his
health and vigor prior to the breed
ing season.

ating. Tn many of these eases it is evident to the scientific reader that the author was not a scientist himself, and it remains an open question whether the incorrect md sometimes absurd statesments must be imputed to the author of the article or to Burbank
 The main impression, however, has not been favorable to Burbank, espec- tally among Eastern and European readers. More than once, in personal conversation, noticed certain doubt as to the validity of Burban's scienti- fic ideas and even as to his right of giving an opinion on scientific discover ies. It became apparent to me that much injury had been done to the re- putation of a man who has contributed largely to the wealth of his nation and other countries, and who has, in his lifetime, rediscoyered and introduced into American horticulture many of the leading principles of plant breeding which though known in Europe, were as yet unsuspected in America
 In some cases, direct statements have been made which have lessened the appreciation of Burbank's merits by scientific readers, precisely by the endeavor tc give to his work a scienti- fic significance, which in reality it has not. It has been contended for instance
 that Burbank overthrow the Mendelian laws, that he opposes the theory of
 mutation, that he has proved the in- herltance of acquired characters, and assumes that natural species originate by means of crossing. Everybody knows, however, that he is not engaged
 in special scientific investigations con- cerning these points, and it is only natural that the conclusion has been
 drawn that he has no right to pledge
 his great name in favor of the opinions he is reported to defend.

SdME OLD hIORY.

It is admitted that the Jamestown Exposition is going to be good show when it is really in order, but as it is now the buildings are not finished and the exhibits are not installed So it goes. Twas ever thus, or much like it. None of the expositions has been on time, and per- haps none will be. But the Jamestown Exposition will be in good shape in the course of time. There is enough to see there now, and nobody will fail to get his or her moneys worth. By and by all will be as 1t should be now, and as it isn't now. Then all will be well, or, at least, much better.

limits assigned them as trees will in time, and they do not make shade enough to bring about the unsanitary conditions which are almost found to exist in small places where the trees have made strong development. Shade is a pleasure feature in summer, but there is such a thing as having too much of it. We frequently see pieces in which the dwelling is almost hidden by thicket of trees, and examination will show that the house is always damp, and that the occupants of it are unhealthy. Look at the roof, and you will be likely to find out the shingles covered with green moss. The only remedy for such a condition of things is the thinning out or removal of some of the trees and the admission of sun- light Shrubs can never be charged with producing such state of things, hence my preference for them on lots where there is not much room. Vines can be used upon the walls of the dwell lings and about the verandas and porches in such a way. as to give all the shade that is needed~and with few Ireally fine specimens of shrubs scatter- cd about the grounds, trees will not be likely to be missed very much. I would not be understood as discouraging the planting of trees on places where there is ample space for their development. X fine tree is one of the most beautiful
 things in the world but it must be given a good deal of room and that is something that can not be done on the small city or village lot. It takes years

KILLING FLORIDA ANIMALS

Men With Guns Have About Depleted
 the Wild Game and Birds in That
 State.
 The fauna of South Florida is pass ing away The habitat of the disap- bearing Florida crocodile has shrunk to a narrow strip of land on the southern ] coast of the peninsula scarcely 10 miles long, says A. w. Dimock, in Scribners Within that territory before crocodile cave picket fence tells Of an attempt to capture its occupant. Alligators are being slaughtered 50 rapidly that upon rivers frequented by them I saw 10 last year for every one I could find 12 months later, so many of the inhabi- tants of the wilderness both white and red, depend upon alligator hunting for thelr food and clothing that even the small prices, of from 10 cents to $l each paid for their hides, probably insures the extermination of the reptile. An alligator cannot resist a bulls eye lantern at night but will lies fascinated upon the surface of the water with eyes shining in its glare while the hunter slowly paddles toward him.

 The mother birds have been shot from their nests by either white men or Indians the difference being that tho Indian leaves enough of the old birds to feed the young of the rookery, which they will do to tho limit of their strength, the egret being especially prompt in her response to the pitful cries of the orphans from other nests.

BuRBANK's REAL MERITS.

How Eastern and European Readers
 Have Gained Impressions Unfair to
 Him.
 Hugo de Vries. in the Century, says; in this period of rapidly changing con- captions and steadily broadening inter- ests, it is unsafe for a man to pub fish his personal views concerning such parts of the new combined science as lie beyond his own experience Of course he must have some conception of the results and theoretical ideas in the different departments, and the bet ter he develops it, the more it will aid him in his own work. But whenever publication is not absolutely necessary in order to show the concordance of all our biological knowledge with some newly discovered principle, such con- captions must be considered as of per sonal value only; otherwise their pub lication may easily lead to a false ap- lpreciation of mans real merits
 In some magazine articles and popu- lar books, the authors, needless of these principles, have given rise to much misunderstanding of the merits of Burbank by a certain amount of l ieffusiveness and unconscious exagger-

roo MANY FOR ONE TEACHER.

LOO 4u 4 ~ I T OAl O-N A- AAs +t V AA A~hAs
 It has long been known to good teach CTS that they cant do good teaching with too many pupils in a room, and it is therefore encouraging to them and to all interested in good teaching that the evil of too many pupils for one teacher is being generally perceived, and that some attempt is being made to mitigate it. Thus an order passed by the Boston school committee pro- vides for the gradual reduction in the number of pupils assigned to teachers in elementary school districts. This follows a showing made that the actual number of pupils per teacher in the Boston schools is the highest in the country. By rule, the maximum num- Der of pupils to teacher is fifty in Boston, New York and St. Louis (as to upper grades), but the actual aver age number in New York is forty-three, St. Louis forty-dve and Boston 49,7. As Boston has been supposed to be truly and efficiently educational, it is no wonder that she doesn't like to have the reputation Of having the most pu- pills per teacher Of course there are too many everywhere, except, perhaps, in some of the country district schools. Twenty-Five are enough for teacher to take care of, but lack of room and money in city school systems forbids, and will for a long time forbid, having the right arrangement in this highly important matter.
