OF the blood OF white sports from thu
bronze. The standard Of weight II
less for the whites than for other va
rieties Thoy range frvm ten pounds
for young hens to twenty-six pounds
for old toms. Toms have been seen
that weighed thirty-ave pounds In
show condition, but this weight IL
quite unusual. In color Of plumage
they should be white throughout Eek
cept that each has black beard on
the breast, with shanks and toes pink
ish white.
In some localities white turkeys are
largely grown. They show vitality
equal to that OF other varieties and
are no more difficult TO rear. Indeed
Instances are recorded where In very
bad season the whites, with some
growers, did the best Of any kind.
Where the vigor Is perfect and the
mating birds nonrelated the young OF
the white turkeys are as easy to grow
as any young stock.
One cannot select a better variety
for all uses than the White Holland.
These turkeys grow to the most profit
able sizes, dress beautifully for mar
ket, their light plnkish white sbanks
add to their appearance and with them
as with all white poultry the pin
feathers show less than on darker va
rieties. The very largest turkeys are
not necessarily the most profitable to
grow or to sell. The medium sizes =
from nine to eighteen pounds dressed
are most desirable for family use.

Vegetables BY Weight.

There is a bill before the Massaehus-
e,ts Legislature providing thai yegeta.
bles and such commodities shall be sold
By weight. One OF lis critics charac-
ierizes il ms species OF freak" legls'
laiion. II has always seemed TO US that
what this bill proposes IL one OF the
most practical Of propositions.
Everyone who is the purchaser OF
home necessities knows the uniairness
of selling bulky articles IN small
measure. The smaller the measure the
more waste space there usually Is.
SklIlful arrangement will often make Q
measure seem full when il is really hall
empty. II a certain number of apples
make peek quart measure may con-
tain only one-twelfth AS many. A peek
measure filed with potatoes may have
room left for two or three quarts oil
water. This is no new discovery, yet
people 60 on buying such articles by
the peck or quart because their ances-
tors did. Other countries have long
ago adopted the practice Of selling all
kinds Of fruit and vegetables by weight.
II is the fairesl way.
When weight is established as the
basis of price the personal element is
removed. As long as the peck or the
quart measure is used the quantity
contained will vary according to the
tightness Of packing or the amount OF
heaping. Two persons paying the same
price may receive perceptibly different
quantities. One salesman may win
customers by giving good measure. or
another save money by giving scant
measure. Who has not had the exper-
ience OF. inclining 70 trade with a GER
tain individual in store because he
gives good measured" With correct
scales there can be no cheating, for or
against the customer. With a peck
measure cheating is always possible
and almost undiscovcrable.
We are inclined to think that this
Massachusetts mans proposition is not
freak" but mn eminently sensible
aud honest measure. Not only ought
vegetables TO be sold by weight, but
fruits and eggs also. And what mp.
plies in this connection in Massachus-
eits applies in Vermont and elsewhere.

MODEL VILLAGES.
Excellent Plan Followed by a Mining
Settlement In France.

Consul II. Albert Johnson in report
from Liege gives details Of coal min
ing enterprises In Belgium, one OF
which Is planning to establish model
mining village, and has engaged as
manager an engineer in charge of a
mining plant at Bethune, In France,
concerning which the consul writes:
"These French mines employ a
force OF some 5000 workmen. They
possess 1000 workmen's dwellings,
that are rented to the miners at from
$1.15 to $154 month. The houses,
with gardens attached, are arranged
In attractive villages, with broad
streets and boulevards. Churches and
schools have been built. The water
supply, sanitary arrangements and the
electric light plant are all of the most
modern and up to date class
"a visit to Bethune proved highly
satisfactory to the officials Of the Lin
bourg region and has tended to
strengthen their determination In
building up their new organization to
follow as closely as possible the model
set by the French mines. Thus, nc
cording to the plans, this new mining
settlement in the Campine will be a
most beneficial innovation, and instead
OF the hitherto insanitnry conglomera-
ton of novels, piled one against the
other, without either symmetry or de-
sign, the new mining village viii pre-
sent an attractive and orderly collec-
ton of neat cottages, grouped on well
laid out and broad streets, with plen-
tiful supply OF good water and the
most advanced system Of electric light
ing and sanitary appointments

These big concerns believe In the cen

who contribute most largely to the

suit Is that local business stagnates,

people begin to cry that times are

philosopher, "when you mail your

give employment to many clerks. But
what about the clerks In your own

DO you prefer to aid the big stores at
distance rather than your home
stores, which are run by men you have
known all your lives? Patriotism be-
gins at home. Every citizen should do
his best toward building up his own

In the west and southwest under or

proper management turkeys can bs

ably no poultry stock returns more

profit from keeping turkeys simply re-
solves itself into the ability OF the
grower 10 bring them 10 n marketable
size.
The fact that turkeys from the time
they are six weeks old until winter

pick up in their wanderings over the
