HOW TO IkosP a Cow in the City or


All agree that really good fresh milk,
from healthy and properly fed COWS, is
the best possible feOd for children and
youth. But how ask our city friends
shall we get it, This question has been
asked many times; we would say, keep
your own COW.


This is, perhaps, not so difficult and ex-
pensive a matter as you may imagine; I;
even good COW costs comparatively little
at first. She requires less room than one
would suppose and she will almost inYa.
riably pay her keep and profit in milk.
If not short of storage room, procure a
small load of loose hay, as brought to
market on wagons; the quality can be
better seen than when compressed into
bales. If cramped for room, get a few
bundles of baled hay. A straw or hay
cutter of moderate size, costing from SO to
Sc, will be requisite Straw or corn stalks
will answer very well as an occasional
substitute for alternating with hay.


Procure at feed store, few bags each
of ground feed (corn and oats ground to-
gether, and as much shorts, 6wheat bran, J

all men are original, so all minds may be
aptly compared to a forest, where not only
one variety of tree is seen, but many trees
of many varieties, differing in weight,
quality, strength, durability and growth.
As the same soil produces such a variety,
so the human mind will produce such
thoughts as are planted in it, by refec-
ton, investigation, education, association,
travel and observation. We are entitled

With many farmers, the raising, of tur
keys is precarious business, owing to the
tenderness of the young during the first
month, or two months after they arc
hatched. Success in the management
will depend much on the situation of a
farm. a warm southern exposure for the
farm buildings, and ample grounds for the
young to exercise, without strolling too
much in the wet grass, and warm places
to retreat into in cold and wet stormy
weather, ore the chief requisites to succeed
in raising flock of turkeys. They will
subsist on any of the different kinds of
gram raised on the farm; it is only the
manner of feeding which is important.
They require to be fed little and often, and
If the women folks will take an interest,
there will seldom be a failnre. Vermiu
should be carefully guarded against; by
coming in contact with other poultry and
having access TO their houses, the young
turkeys may become infested with Ice,
which will be a great drawback 10 their
growth, and perhaps cause a failure to
raise brood. For five years past l have
discontinued keeping turkeys, finding them
not very profitable when there were no
| cOnveniences to restrain them from COM
mitting depredations on the crops. BI
since Ihave no turkeys on the farm it has
been sadly overrun with grasshoppers, and
for two years past they have totally des-
royed my turnip and ruta baga crops.
will try raising turkeys again, to see if it
will rid me of the grasshoppers. Fifty
Turkeys roaming in the fields, in a weeks
time will destroy bushels of these pestifer-
Gus insects. If wild turkeys can be OBJ.
tained and domesticated to cross with the
common stock, it would improve the size
and make them more robust to bear the
rain and wet grass, and therefore more
easily raised. By crossing the breed with
wild turkeys, the progeny will be more of
hunters of flies, bugs and other insects, and
less inclined after grain, and of course
more profitable. 1 saw in Muffin County
domeslicated wild turkey gobbler, a
beautiful fowl, his colour brown and snuff,
with plumage having lustre and brill
fancy almost equal to the peacock. The
wild turkey gobblers do not come TO ma
turity till they are about two years old;
the one in question was a large noble bird,
twelve months old, but had not common
ced to gobble. Fifty of such gobblers as l
raised years ago, TO take to market the
coming Christmas, would bring hand
some pile. 1 have had on my premises
turkeys weighing as much as forty pounds.
But turkey raising is attended with much
trouble and care, and If not properly man

equal to that of the Drummond light, or
perhaps TO that of the sun at o'clock in

flame. 1t passed over an arc of perhaps
ninety degrees, occupying five or six seconds.

The following touching and pathetic story
we heard only recently from the lips of be-
reaved father, and we were so impressed with
its solemn beauty and grandeur that we take
the liberty of giving short account of it.
Two beautiful little boys (twins) aged about
three years, cast their sunshine over happy
home in this city, and it seemed as if the
earthly happiness of the whole family was de-
pendant upon them. Of remarkably loving
disposition and un Usually precocioas for their
ages, they won the love of their entire neigh
borhood, and wherever they went were pet
ted and caressed. But sickness came, and
scarlet fever bowed their little heads at nearly
the same time, taking one of the loved ones
from this mortal shore, and transplanting him
in Immortality. The other one after wrest-
ling with disease for long time, rallied, and
no doubts were entertained OF his recovery,
but he constantly called for his departed little
brother, and refused to be cOmforted unless
he could see him. In vain his attendants
told him he had only gone away on short
visit; he would hot be satisfied unless he was
taken over the entire house and assured that
his brother was not at home. His entreaties
were so urgent that finally he was carried one





and his eyes were turned hopefully and long
1ngly To every place that was able to con-
tain anyone. Having made the tour of
the house he was again returned to his cham
Der, when he resigned himself and to give up
the idea of seeing that cherished companion.
He did not even mention his name, but SEEM
ed to realize hat his brother could not come
near him. That same night, all unexpected,
the Angel of Death came 10 reunits those
loved ones, and the weeping attendant saw
him clasp his little hands, and exclam exult-
insly, II see-I see"-"See what?" said the
watcher-"I see, l see A"-(msntioning his
departed brothers name) he replied, and
then with smile passing over his counte-
nance he closed his eyes in death, and his
| earthly life was ended. And who shall dare
| TO affirm that his brother had not come back
| to accompany him to the mansions of bliss?
Who shall dare to say that the loved and
gone before do not turn to these earthly
shores and whisper words of cheer to the de-
parting soul that otherwise would shrink
back terror stricken? 1t is a beautiful thought
that from the death-bed even OF little child
may be learned the lesson in its fullest mean
ing OF Immortality, of the reuniting of those
dear ones who have gone beiore-not lost

The MURDERER WILsON.-A prison re-
form Congress, made up of delegates of the
leading penal and reformatory institutions In
the United States, was recently held in Cir
cinnati. DR.. E. w. Hatch, superintendent Of
the reform school in Meriden, was one of the
delegates from Connecticut State and from
him the following interesting account of Dave
Kentley alias Jas. Wilson, the murderer of
Warden Willard, is obtained:


While attending the congress sat by the
side of the Rev. A. G.. Byers, the secretary of
the board of State charities for the State of
Ohio. He said to me, Il should like very
much to see Dave Kentley alias Wilson, who
is in your State prison." and then continued:
"When Kently was in the penitentiary of Co
lnmbus, Ohio, was chaplain there. l be-
came well acquainted with him, and think
he is one of the smartest men ever knew. If
there is any truth in phrenology, his head is
more like the head of Napoleon Bonaparte
than any mans head l ever saw. think he
looks like him. But he is the slyest, keenest
most artful, most malignant, most develish
man have ever met, and l have been con-
nected with prisons and penitentiaries for a
long time. He was cent to our place after his
escape from Michigan, ,and while his feet were
yet sore from having been amputated. He
took the measure of every man in the prison.
He sent for me one day and said that his
work OF file cutting hurt his foot. He sat at
at his work, but he held thel file in position
by stirrup in which he placed his foot. I
told him l could do nothing for him, and
saw at once that he wanted to get changed
Then he sent for the physician, and he not
knowing the man as well as did, sympathiz-
ed with him.


After little delay Kentley was sent to the
hospital. But it was all pretence to get
there, the keepers who knew the man pro-
testing against it. After his foot was well he
was sent to the tailor's shop to work. Then
he commenced his plan OF escape. He took
strips and and thread as he could, and con-
veyed them to his cell. Finally he got pair
OF pants. Then he dug through the bottom
OF his cell into the air passage after fixing an
image in the bed, stump feet and all. He
passed through the air. cell into the yard, and
with rope ladder, made from thread and
strips of cloth, he scaled the wall and was
OFT. In short time he was in the New Jersey
State prison, and wrote them from there ask
ing for watch he left in Ohio. Tney did
not reply to him, but did write to the war
den of the New Jersey prison, saying
that they wanted him in Ohio when New
jersey cot through with him. The warfen
replied that there was no fear OF his escaping
from them, and at the proper time he should
be forthcoming. In less than two months he
escaped. "Now," said Chaplain Byers, II see
the whole plan of the villain. 1t was to be
sent to the county jail after his trial so that
he might escape" And', said he, with empha-
sis, che would, too, for there is no county Jail
in the United States that can hold him."
