described. The effect of irhrcc1irg on

simple explanation of new plan OF

the past five years. and which is based
upon the conception that high egg pro.

that by a proper system of pedigree

OF the bulletin is devoted to an exposl-

FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY
Small VShaped Trough Elevated to

Often on farm where turkeys are
raised right along with the chickens
and other poultry. It is desirable to
feed them heavier than the other pou!-
try. yet suitable means of doing SO are
not available without n fenced yard
to separate them. writes p. G. Gross
or Ohio In the Prairie Farmer. In
such cases the following contrivance
serves admirably:

Entrance at Princeton.

honors were to be won one September
morning in 1875. He found himself enter

young men. Princeton had been a favor

now there were only very few from that
section of the country. The town was
charming, the college buildings, then six

to 1756. 1t was a quiet, staid, Old-fash-

learning organized by Thomas Jefferson.
Here he spent a year studying in the

He Joined the glee club: he was active in
sports; he organised q debating society;
he walked off with the Writer'S prize

popularity, however was due not SO
