He never finished one of these romances; the lucky man did not require to- But in Treasure Island he recognized some thing kindred to his own imagination; it was his kind of picturesque"
 MT. Rhead gave to the work of pre- pairing these pictures the same pains taking care he has bestowed upon all the other children's classics he has illustrated. The English scenes in the first part of Stevenson's romance were the result of work done years ago. q find myself very lucky" wrote Mir.

YOUNG TURKEY TROUBLES

Filth is a persistent enemy of young turkeys, and all food and drink dishes and the coop itself should be kept scrupulously clean. Lice, perhaps, cause the death of more little poults than any other one thing. The turkeys should be dusted frequently with a good lice powder. If head lice are found, a little vaseline or cream put on the heads, throat and wings on a sunny day will destroy them. Grease

! By Sidney Mccall. With frontiSpiece
 By William Van Dresser. Little
 Brown & Co., publishers, Boston.
 Sidney Mccall in "The Stirrup Latch" has written a most interesting end attractive story which might be termed a study of motherhood.
 | The story has to do with one Ci-
 celey Dering. who is married very 1 young to a worthless young fellow l whom she adores and idealizes. Soon l she is left a widow with two beauti- full daughters. Her cousin and very dear friend, Julia Preston. is also a | widow and the mother of one son. ! They had both been born and brought | up in a small southern town, but Julia's | husband, Judge Preston, was an Eng | lishman, and had wished his boy to | be educated in his own country. So soon after her husbands death Julia sailed for England. and it is with her
 return many years later, when the | three children all are grown up, that l the story opens.
 l Ciceley, "swaddled in sentimental ity fed up with outworn traditions | has become a mere "household drudge,
 bound, bringing slave" to her daugh- | ters, with the result that they ignore i and despise her. Julia, on the con
 trary, has kept herself as young and ] up to date as possible, and is the com :
 panion and best friend of the son, who
 not only adores but is immensely proud | of her, and whose favorite nickname l for her Is "chum." She is an intelli-
 gent, charming woman, thoroughly
 alive and she immediately sets to work
 to rescue Ciceley from her thra1ldom
 "a task by no means easy, for poor spineless Ciceley goes in deadly fear
 of her elder daughter, exquisite, strong- willed Lucille. The younger daughter, | pretty little Sylvia, is as weak as her
 mother and entirely ruled by Lucille. | Julia and Ciceley are both well done, | but Lucille seems rather overdrawn.
 It is difficult to believe in the inherent
 nobility of a young woman whose con | duct toward her own mother could be ! justly described by the indignant old friend they called Uncle Jim as "about | the most savage and unnatural that human depravity can show" and this ! is unfortunate, because it wealSens the entire book. The various love stories are prettily told and we are glad that
 Jim won his hearts desire, although he certainly made what can only be
 termed an extremely foolish choice.

saTHE GODDESS GIRL. "

THE GODDESS GlELr
 By Louise Dutton, Moffat, Yard x Co.,,
 publishers, New York.
 From quiet uneventfulness of small town existence to the clang and hustle of New York is a long step-long enough to overbalance more than one unfortu- nate. Int Rose Saxon, heroine of Louise Dutton's novel, The Goddess Girl, was able to maintain her equilibrium through it all is testimony to her stability or character. Born and bred in New Eng land village, she was little equipped to meet the conditions which young and pretty girls must inevitably meet alone in a great city. When she left Green River she thought she went with her eyes open, calmly unafraid--her ingenu- ous and inexperienced philosophy of life gave Ter no warning of the problems and struggles which were to shake her security so deeply. Caught up in the only by the strongest effort of will that she was only by the strongest effort of will that she was able to keep her feet on solid ground On all sides sine saw the pleasantly insidious laxness of her Bohemian friends, gaily smiling and al turing. There was something about 1t that fascinated her After all, they said, were they rot happier than their slower, plodding brothers One had one's life to life; why hedge oneself around with the tiresome customs and conventions of a hy-gone age? And they were so clever, so interesting; could they be altogether wropg? And then came her great tempta- tion-a temptation that would inevitably have overcome girl of weaker fibre. The author shows a wonderfully sym pathtic understanding of her struggle and final victory-and not for a moment are the requirements of good taste v1o- lated

MATCHING THE EGGS

The eggs should be gathered every day, kept in a cool place and turned once a day until they are set. It is a good plan to mark on each egg the date when it was laid, as by doing this one knows exactly which eggs to set first. A turkey hen will lay from to IS eggs and then become broody. It is a very easy matter to break one from setting if taken in time, and in this way secure an extra clutch of eggs, for she will lay again in few days. I always allow the turkeys to hatch their own eggs, although they may be matched with common hens. The turkey hen seems to understand the weakness of the poults better. She moves about slowly, breeding often, while the chicken hen hustles about so that she soon tires out the tender poults. If chicken hens are used for matching they should be set at the same time with the turkey hens to whom all poults may be given.
 set turkeys in coops and make the nest by scooping out the earth a depth of two or three inches. This prevents the eggs from rolling out and gives the required moisture. I then put in layer of chaff. As a rule, I set IS to sprinkle the nest with a good lice powder or lice killer before putting the turkey on the nest. I do not re- move the hen to the new nest until she has set two days on the old one, and then carefully remove her at night i and place her upon the nest. After the first day I never have any trouble with them about going to their nests. The GOODS are opened every day and the hens can leave the nest and return at will. Place water and feed where they can get it at any time

CARE OF THE POULTS

It takes 2S days for turkey eggs to incubate. I never disturb the turkey during the period of incubation The poults are not removed from the nest until they are A hours old, then if the weather is dry, they are removed to a coop in the orchard which is in closed with a high wire fence Their coop should be dry and roomy with a roof to shed the water so that they may be kept there during the severe rainy days. They are then given water and grit, and when they are 36 hours old are given their first food, con- sisting of stale bread soaked in sweet milk and squeezed dry with the hand l mix fine grit and little pulverized charcoal with this and feed it for several days, after which I bake corn bread or Johnnie cake. made of corn meal mixed with water or sweet skim milk and very little salt added, and thoroughly baked. This is moistened with milk and mixed with grit or sand and charcoal and given several days. They are given just what they will eat up at once and none is left to sour. They should not be given sloppy or sour food, as bowel trouble will re- suit The turkey hens with the poults have the range of the orchard during the day and are driven into their coops at night. If the weather is damp, or thc 5Idss wet, the brood must De kept in. for dampness is fatal to the poults. Turkeys are very susceptible to filth. Coops and feed dishes should be kept clean and the coop disinfected at least once week.
 The poults are confined in the or chard until they are 10 days or two weeks old and then given the range of the farm. but are driven up and con- fined in the orchard every night until they learn to come home of their own accord. At this age they are fed cracked wheat and oat groats but the baked cornmeal is continued, alternat- ing the two. Grit is in every feed whether wet or dry, and charcoal at least once day. When the young poults begin to get their long flight feathers, they require extra care and attention. These seem to grow so rap

Suggestions for Selecting the Breeders-Hatching Feeding and BrOOding
By ARCHIE F.. VANDEVORT Breeder, Fnncier and Judge.
 (Copyright. 1916.)

The successful rearing of young tur- keys is not by any means so diffi- keys as many people seem to suppose. The impression that some amateurs have that turkeys are next to an in- dismissed from their minds, as it only requires personal knowledge of the turkeys peculiarities to be successful in raising at least 80 per cent of all the poults matched. There are two critical periods in the life of the young tur- key when special attention must be paid to the birds to carry them through in good condition. When newly matched turkey poults are very hardy, but when about two weeks old they often lose strength, and from this time until they are over three weeks old they are passing through a sort of crisis. Once this finger line is passed, there is lit- tie further trouble until the time when the red excrescences on the head begin to shoot, known to turkey raisers as shooting the red" and this stage marks the second critical period in the poult's life.
 kO1LILN I lINNT LIE DhEEOEhC
 There is no question but that the greatest secret in successful turkey raising is in having strong, vigorous, healthy parent stock. If you hatch eggs from this kind of stock the battle is certainly half won. Tn selecting the breeding stock the best birds are none too good and are the cheapest in the end, as your future stock depends all most entirely on the parent birds. se- lect a male with lots of vigor and of good size, but do not use a bird of ex- treme heavy weight. Select females having long deep bodies, good bone and lots of vigor. If yearling or two-year- old hens are used as breeders, mate used, select an older tom to head the flock. good, vigorous tom can be mated with 15 to 20 hens, but as a rule it is not advisable to mate one tom with over 10 or F hens.
 The care of the breeding stock is the next important step. Much of the so-called Dad luck in turkey raising, namely, infertiIe and soft-shelled eggs and impaired vgor, is due to over feeding. If the birds that have been selected as breeders have been allowed to fatten with the stock intended for market. they should be reduced to me- dium flesh during the winter, as good results cannot be obtained from over fat breeders. The writer has found oats to be the best food for the tur- key hens during the breeding season, and feeds this almost entirely with an occasional feed of wheat or corn. Char coal, shells and grit are kept within easy reach at all times. Ground bone is also fed, as it has tendency to make the eggs more fertile. Just be- fore the hens begin to lay, which is about the last of March or the first of April, make nests of straw along the fences in overturned barrels and in secluded places, and use china nest eggs and usually little trouble will be experienced in inducing the hens to lay in the nests provided for them.

 The story of the young authors sue
 cess sounds like a fairy tale, taking place over a single night and is the
 most encouraging instance for the
 struggling young writer of which we
 nave heard recently. Mir. Reizenstein is
 a young man, 23 years of age, who re- ceived, as he writes, just enough educa- ton to make him unfit for manual la
 bor. Starting at the age of IS in a business office, he sought refuge from the competitive struggle which he de- tested in the study of law-"that haven
 of waffle and strays," as he again most picturesquely writes about himself and his doings For five years he applied himself at this work, in the meantime of course supporting himself, and at the end of that time had successfully removed all the obstacles which im- peded the path of the young aspirant to the precincts of the bar At this point, however, he became interested
 in the writing of plays, and in collabor- ation with a brother attorney wrote two or three little dramas which never reached production.

~wHEN MY SHIP COMES IN

By Gouverneur Morris, illustrated by Frank Snapp; Charles Schribner's s Sons, publishers, New York.
 ''When My Ship In my Gouverneur Morris, is a brilliant story of Broadway life, sparkling with the glamour of the stage, and the lights and shades of the life which is followed by it's devotees, centeriEg around the romance between a playwright and a girl who has saved him from drowning. The various calamities which befall him as a result of the un- derhand work of his rival, an unscrupu- lous but picturesque manager-producer, form the incidents of this extremely ab- sorbing story. The book is perhaps the most remarkable of all MT. Morris achievements in it's realism and the color of it's atmosphere.
