At this season the turkey commences his rambling for Jaok Frost is driving insects to their winter quarters and finds in gathering his daily ration he has to enlarge his territory, says a contributor. The turkey and cat possess one pro- clivity in common, that of depredator; but a bountiful supply of feed will make a quiet citizen of either. To keep Tom's crop full is by far the easi- est method of keeping him In bounds. If left to prociure his won living the question of an abiding plaoe is not momentous. Instinct teaches that from a hygienic standpoint a change of quarters is preferable. Our rule has been to feed liberally at roosting time, thinking that ought to be sufficient inducement to bring the flock home ; but some evenings, scan the landscape as we would, no turkey would be in sight. This summer we have learned, through our farm hand, to give our heavy feed at mid-day. This appeals to the indolent side of their nature. They are hungry enough at that time of day to come home for feed, and lazy enough to stay in the shade the re- maining part of the day. As to the amount of feed per turkey, the best rule is to give them all they will eat up clean. They will be found to be equal to a good sized corn crib, but nothing on the farm grows into money faster, as they will usually make their own living, from the time they are feathered out till the mid- dle of September, hen it is beat to { The IlIeKillop Mutual Fire Insurant.e "olnpany.

Winter dairying, years ago, was an undertaking little thought of in this state. Raising oattle for beef and oxen was more common then making butter, and at that date was more of a paying investment, ,but as the coun- try developed and the population in- creased, butter making advanced. A cow that gave milk seven months bad done her duty, and it was not very rich milk at that. In the sixties milk was worth at times $2 to $2.50 per 100 lbs. Butter was made from setting the milk in small tin pans, followed Inter by deep cans. About 1878 the cream separator was introduced and at pres- ent to used pretty generally. Both winter and summer dairying are car- ried on to a great extent. Although butter brings less per lb. than a few years ago, much more money to the cow is produced and winter dairying is found to be a paying business. 'There is a great amount of milk produced in push them until Thanksgiving. 7'o the winter months and the quantity keep full grown turkeys after this of butter is inoreasing each season. A time is usually to keep them at a loss. few years ago creameries did not think A turkey hatched in August can he they could run more than six months, made to bring a dollar at Christmas. as there was not milk enough. Now Points thrive better in autumn with a nearly all creameries run the greater chicken mother than in the earlier ee.a- Parr o4' the year. When each farmer made his own butter at home there were as many kinds of butter as there were farmers. Now each farmer delivers his milk at the creamery and the product of ut- ter is all uniform and brings a good price each week, and with the aid of the farm paper, silo, etc., the farmers receive thousands of dollars in this country from their dairies in the win- ter months when a few yearn ago they did not make butter -enough to eat. son. ''here 1s less danger of gapes near the house at this time of year, and chicken hens are not good to take then into the fields. We bad a droll Irish friend years ago who told us to always set our tur- key hens before sun up in the light of the moon so they would break the shells in the moonlight, it taking four weeks to hatch a brood, and our brood would he all gobblers. We are not possessed of quite energy enough to get them set before sunrise but have set them in the light of the moon in e. general way ever since, and find they hatch with gobblers largely in the majority; but in the autumn when turkeys are prone to mix' up with neighboring flocks by some strange freak in neighborliness, I suppose ac- oording to a system of algebra "by transposing, reducing and eliminat- ing," our gobblers would come home hens while our neighbors' hens would be transformed irito gobblers without the loss of one. We think the noon feeding has about solved the problem of keeping the flock at home, and think too that they put on flesh faster when not rambl- ing to such a great distance. They will start out in the morning and he back at regular time for the noon feed, which, if left till evening, and Tom shall have good luck in his search for food, there is no inducement for him to return home for that which he does not really require. -MARABOUT FEATHERS. A return to favor of the beautiful and fragile marabout feathers is one of the distinctive novelties of the sea- son. They are used for military pur- poses in various ways; for example, a abort, full ostrich tip will have a downy marabout fastened along its quill, looking very like a fluff of smoke' above the rich droop of the os- trich. Marabouts are likewise seen up- on the stiff quills of owls' wings, or are mixed in -a manner, indescribable with feathers from breasts of guineas. Their frosty frailty is sometimes strengthened by the introduntlon of steel or jet disks, and, although so ethereal looking, they really wear as well as any aigrette, and are quite tbe prettiest departure Introduced anew this season W.

Row de you know it pays? In answer to the question, let ns re- late the experience of one of our beat dairymen. He says: "I have heard a great deal about the, bad effect of excitement upon the cow, and I made up my mind I would know whether there was anything in it or whether it was like a good many other fine -spun theories. So, one night I deliberately planned an attack upon my cowe. I told the hired man to get him a cudgel and I got one myself. \Ve took the dog and went out Into the cow -yard just before milking. We helloed and yelled and flourished our sticks, but didn't strike a blow. The dog barked loudly, ana for a time pen- demonium prevailed. Then we let the cows into the barn and milked them. "i was dumbfounded at the result. The falling off in the amount of milk given was not so very much, though there was a marked difference ; the most striking loss was in the quality of the milk. I have a reliable test my- self and know I cannot be mistaken when I say at least two-fifths of the butter fat had disappeared -been burned up by the excitement of the few mihutes' abuse just before milk - "1 told the hired man then that hereafter if he felt- aq if he must strike somebody to strike me, and that if he spoke at all in the stable I want- ed it too be in a tone of voice such as he would use in speaking to me." Now, this is not theory; it is not fancy ; it is plain, matter-of-fact bus- iness. Every time a man kicks, pounds, shouts, or otherwise has a "tantrum" with his cows, he takes money out of his own pocket. He had het ter stand it if the cow thumps him now and then with her tail, or stand's around a step or two while being milk- ed, than to make a bigger fool of him- self than the cow does by getting into a rage and turning the stable into bed- lam.

Therefore, don't he afraid to use it liberally on the pen - roosts to prevent lice. Apply some now, for lice do damage even in cold weather. As the weather grows colder, and the hens have to be confined, it is advis- able to place a rusty nail, or the like, in their drinking fountain. Corn meal mush is a most excellent fattener, and especially if fed warm. In case it takes away the fowl's appe- tite, feed some fruit and vegetables, such as apples and cabbage, These will not cause any less of the fattening foods to be devoured. Construct nests so that hens must get down into them, if you don't wn.nt them to eat their eggs. A hen rarely attempts to eat eggs unless she .can get to them conveniently, and gener- ally she requires an abundance of room for this purpose. If you cannot obtain meat for your fowls, buy them some cottonseed meal. Feed it daily in proportion of one putt to a mess of Soft food sufficient. for 200 hens. Milk,, also, is an excellent sub- etitute for meat, being preferred by some poultry -keepers to anything else mentionable, No matter how well balanced itmay he, endeavor as much as possible to give your hetes a change of rat ton. .Re sure to provide a watching of Feversham, all of whom were re- markable for their beauty. The late Duchess survived her husband little more than a year, and left three chil- dren, all sons -the present Duke, Lord Desmond, end Lord Edward Fitz -Ger - aid. By the way, a curious legend sur- rounds the origin of the crest borne by this ducal family. The crest is a monkey, and its adoption has been as- cribed to the following circumstance: -Some centuries ago, the family hon- ors date basil[ almost to ,the twelfth century, a five broke out In the an- cestral home of the Geraldines, and it was with difficulty that the members of the family were rescued from the flames. When it was thought that all had been safely taken from the burning mansion, It was suddenly re- membered that the young heir, who was but a baby at the time, was left, by an overight, in his nursery, which Wee on one of the upper floors. The oonaternation of all concerned cannot be described, especially as it was thought that owing to the stair case being already consumed the res- cue of the child was impossible. Just at this 'moment a large monkey, which had been a great pet of the family, and was devotedly attached to the babe, was' seen clambering up the side of the house and making its way to he nurs- ery window, through mei oh it passed. In a few minutes it rlappeared, car- rying in He arms the young beir, which itt brought safely to the ground. It is said that the parents, to show to posterity their gratitude for the rescue of their son, adopted a monkey as the family crest. By a strange coincidence the pres- ent young nuke of Leinster was rescu- ed from a fire which broke out in one of the country seats of his grandfath- er, the Earl of Feversham-but not by a monkey. THUNDER. IN VARIOUS REGIONS, Java is said to be the region of tbe globe where it thunders oftenest, hav- ing/thunder-storms 97 days in the year. After it are Sumatra, with 86 days; Hindustan, with 66; Borneo, with 64; the Gold Coast, with 52, and Rio de Janeiro, with 51. In Europe, Italy ocupies the first place, with 38 days of thunder, while France and Southern Russia. have 16 days. Great Britain and Switzerland have each seven days and Norway has four. Thunder is rare at Caito, being heard only three days in the year, and extremely rare in North- ern Turkestan and the polar regions. A BAD PRECEDENT. Mrs. Motherhood -Why is it I have such a time finding a nurse -girl for my children? Employment Agent -Well, you see, mum, some time ago a lady had a baby die, and she thought so much of that baby that after it was dead she kept the baby's nurse right along at 'the old wages, with nothing to do but walk in the park, pretending she's got the baby with her. Since than I can'tget a nurse girl to go into a family where the baby looks healthy. WHY- INSECTS VISIT FLOWERS. Some experiments recently made in Belgium tend to throw doubt on the truth of the assumption that insoote are guided to flowers by the bright- ness of their colors. Brilliantly 001- ored dahlias were covered so as to show only the disks, and butterflies and bees sought these flowers with the same eagerness and frequency as those which were fully exposed. The conclusion reached, that the insects were guided by the sense of smell ra- ther than by their sight, seems con- vincing. , SUICIDE. According to statistical returns the suicide rates per annum a million of population have risen during the past 30 years from 37 to 88 in England and 40 to 64 in Scotland. It is asserted, however, that the tendency to conceal the occurrence of death by suicide has diminished since insanity has become more widely recognized as a disease, and this leads to the belief that sui- cides, on the whole, are not increasing. TAME BEARS. PI ince Ferdinand, of Roumania, who has been hunting in the Carpathians, expressed a desire to kill a bear, and soon after had the luck to start up two, one of which he shot. On exam- ining the carcass he found a bole through the nose as though the animal had worn a ring, and inquiry brought out the conteseion that the Anitmann of the district had bought the bears from a showman in order to gratify the Prince's wish.

A despatch from Chicago says: -The British Government has closed a con- tract here for the immediate delivery of 125,000 gallons of distilled spirits at Montreal. An intimation was also given that about 450,000 more gallons would in all likelihood be ordered with- in about ten days. This order of 1.25,(100 gallons amounts to nearly 3,000 barrels, and will require over sixty carts for its transportation into Canada. The use of this distilled spirits tbus ordered will be in the manufacture of emoke- Iess powder, of which distilled spirits is one of the ingredients.
