F f THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY. < Hot? dear to my heart ar? the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view; Ti? orchard, the meadow, the deep taiigled \ wild wood, And every loved spot which my infancy knew; The hay rack, the plow and the old fashioned V cutter; The Iambs that were full of their frolic and j *ia?; The warm flowing milk and the good bread | and butter; I And e'en the fat turkey that sat in the j tree: The young, tender turkey, the good, fat ; Ii turkey, The Thanksgiving turkey that sat in tbz j tree. That Thanksgiving turkey I hailed as a trea- , . sure. For always in 1*11 when returned from ths J school, I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, \ \ AH roasted and seasoned, of stuffing so full How gladly I saw ft with eyes that were j ^ glowing! m ' ; How pleasant at home on the fane then to ?.be! "" To feast on the cock that in summer was ; crowing, And e'en the tat turkey that sat in the tree; The young, 'tender turkey, the good, fat , turkey, . The Thanksgiving turkey that sat in the tree. 1-?' How sweet at the family board to recaive it. When words of food cheer and affection were said, Not a feast with a monarch could tempt ms { to leave it, The grandest that riches and fashion can spread. And now, far removed from that loved habi, tation A feeling of sadness arises in me. As fancy reverts to my father's plantation, 7 AM sighs for the turkey that sat in the tree, The yonng, tender turkey, the good, fat turkey.'

IIIXT TO CELERY GROWERS. Wc all know of tlie trouble and delay of gathering the stalks of celery plants together before the earth is drawn about it if each one has to be tied up or held separately. For three years, says I. V. bnank, m I nave adopted the following plan, which at first; wo-: :in experiment, the results of which ban proved entirely satisfactory ; I dug a trench about nine inches ia width, .^et the plants about live inches apart directly along the centre of trench. Before drawing in earth I crowd the space between the bank and the plants with suaw, which effectually prevents the =oii from coming in contact with the celery, and so continues to the required height; after which I cover the top with straw to "the depth of four inches, and finally cover all with earth to a depth sufficient to protect from freezing if left out over winter. 5UEEP AS SCAVENGERS. Writing in the New York Tribune, L. B. Pierce says: "Now that sheep are coming to the front once more, it knossible that some verv uuoroductive and r ". worthless slashings will be brought to profitable condition. No other animal is so at war with nature's wildness as the sheep. Scarcely any noxious thing except thist'cs will gain a l'oothold in sheeppasture: ;md there is no way of subduing a clearing so thoroughly as to set sheep a-feeding there. I know of a clearing of ten acres that has been nothing but a bill of expense for eight years, which now (barring stumps) might have been a clean, bhiegrass pasture if it had been made a /un for a small flock of sheep. The owner has had a spell of cutting brjsh and weeds about once in two years, and now the last end of the field is worse thau the first. One of the present beauty-spots is a half-acre patch of teasles. As a run for cattle the field has certainly not been worth twenty-five cents an acre, and many of the stumpy are no nearer decay than eight years ago, the roots having been kept alive b\ growing sprouts. BULBS FOB WINTER FLOWERING. The bulbs should be potted as soon as they can bo had in a compost consisting of good loam and rotten manure and road grit, in equal parts, and should be just covered with soil, and the whole well watered with a hose. When the watei has soaked away they should be stood upon a firm bottom in the frame yard and coal ashes put over them to the depth of six or seven inches; here they should remain until the pot is full ol roots. This is the object obtained bycovering with ashes; the crown of the bulb being kept cool and dark with the covering,the roots grow away in advance of the tops, and so the -phu.t.s become fitted to yield a good l^loom, and here we would Sflv 1 o hr> "'inner.-, in bulb culture. lies the great secrefof success. Wc have seen people who ought to have known better pot bulbs and place them at once into a gtcerfhouse for flowering, or into a stoveTor early bloom. Of course they B^re disappointed, but as a rule the qual9k of the bulb has been blamed and not foolish treatment which it has reV.JItd. Now, we .say to all who wish fOi ^Rrly flowers of Roman hyacinths, get them a.', early as possible and treat them as^we have directed and r. grand bloom will be the result. . Never subject them to artificial heat before the pots arc full of roots.?Cohnaits Ritral World. CARE OF CALVES. The Ifr'inc ?.'arxtcr truly says there is much bad^tuagement with calves in the (asai^^nouths of the year. If confined to the pasture where they have run during the summer,without additional food, they are sure to grow thin in flesh and lose ground when they ought to be growing right along. On the other hand, if f-nrnpd intn :? run r>f pvtrpmplv frpsh orass they are quite liable to scour, and many times this difficulty will follow so long as the grass lasts. Later on they arc left out exposed to ths cold storms and frosty nights of late autumn and compelled to live as best they are able on only frosted grass. As a result of all this they come to winter quarters reduced in condition, and actually less in -weight than at a time two or three months previous. Kow. what has been stained from the feed they have consumed durinif the time ana from the time that has passed without grain? This has ail been lost, and more than lost, for it will take sometime and good feed to turn the tide aud start them again into thrift. A good practice is to house them nights and give extra feed of some kind. We have secured very satisfactory results from a feed oi good hay each night at the barn. Of course more rapid growth can be made n /] /-K n rt' 1 >y.rtt- 1\n /.fiu>Vi /irJ An+O uj au?u? ^ ivuctil i.'mh, v.: u.?ucu vaw 1 linseed meal. At any rate they should be kept thriftily growing, and to do it must have something good to eat beside what, they can get in pasture at this season of "the year. SWEET POTATOES. "We doubt if there is any crop which in ordinary years can be grown with more satisfaction than sweet potatoes. There are surely but few vegetables so palatable, yet many do not raise them in any quantity on account of the trouble of keeping them through the winter. The potatoes are usually dug with hoes, but iu large quantities may he dug in an easier man ner. As soon as a h^avy frost strikes th* vines, wnich is readily known by thr leaves turning back, cut off the vine.' close to the ground: then, with a heavt two horse plow throw two potato row; together; 'hen follow, remove the tubers carefully >:<j the stem and lay them oc the soft c-u. between the rows to dry off. which they will do in an hour or so. They must be handled as carefully as eggs, espc 11 y .*?t this time, as the skit is very ten..or and can be rubbed off b} the hand, nor should they ever lx thrown, bai carefully laid down. This is a very important feature of safeh keeping l.iem through the wiuter. Ii may sec n unnecessary trouble, yet ii sweet po.atoes are expected to keep ir good condition they cannot be handled too eaiv.ullv. As ac thev are dried. carefully rub oil any adhering loam oj soil by turning cavh tuber around ir your h;:nds a couple of times, and ther place them in the baskets, barrels 01 chests in which they are to be stored, sc that they cannot be readily shaken about when the packages are handled. If infended for immediate shipment, they art at once forwarded in well ventilated barrels or boxes. Large strawberry crates arc excellent to pack in when intended for keeping, as they are cot so deep as barrels. If intended for winter use 01 sale, the packages should be stored in & well veutilat'0 plave. free from damn ne;s, when? the., can remain until eolc weather comes on. when thev should be removed to a warm room. The package: containing the potatoes should not b< moved more than absolutely necessary, as changing them from place to place i: apt to produce sweat and decay. One o the very best places to keep sweet potatoes during winter is a tight loft or room over the kitchen, so constructed that tw heat Iron- below can readily be utilizec in wanniLg the loft or tipper room.

The raising of plants from (he makes an item in urofitshlA farming also.?i^t'C YorkIltvaW. CIMHiUXC TORN". I have yet to learn the economy of ribbing corn with the shuck on. writes N\ J. Shepherd in rli?; 117.<Urn Ploinium. The large amount of storage room required. the more handling necessary with r'ne extra work of handling that is occasioned is certainly worth more than the ;mall amount of feed that is received in the shucks. If roughness is needed it certainly can be secured at a much less cost, and or a considerably better quality by cutting the fodder in good season. After the corn has matured sufficiently to gather and store away there is but a small amount of nutriment in the dried up shucks. It is not good economy to feed corn to stock 01 any kind with the shuck od. and hence if stored away without husking it must be all handled over again belore feeding. It will .not keep any better in the shuck than without: in fact, if the corn is exposed and gets wet it will damage more in the crib if it i.left with the husk on than without. More crib room is required to hold a given number of bushels, and more handling will be required from the field. It can be jerked off in the field in a little less time than to shuck clean, but the work of husking again before feeding out will more than make this up so that so far as the work is concerned and the expense of properly storing, husking clean in the field will be fcund the mo-t economical plan, while in feeding out much time will also be saved. It is always best in harvesting and storing any crop to take reasonable pains to put in as good condition a.s possible, and in a majority of cases this can be done at a much less expense at the start thautowait until it is needed, either for feeding or to send to market, and then be obliged to handle over again before it can be considered as being in a suitable condition. "Wheat, oats, barley and rye can be cleansed much more thoroughly before putting in the bins in graneries than afterward: and whichever plan will economize labor to the best advantage should be used. And it is certainly not economizing labor to store corn in the crib with the shuck on, where, before it is fed out, it. must all be handled over again, and the 6huck be taken oil before It is feci to the stock. Even to hogs and cattle it is 110 real saving. The cattle will waste more or less corn in attempting to eat shuck, cob and grain all at once, and often in ore grain is wasted than the value of the shuck as feed in giving cattle corn in the phuck. What is fed to the hogs, has at least wasted the shucks, while there is always more or less waste ol' grain that could have been saved if the corn was fed shucked. With sheep and horses the com should always be shucked before feeding. And it is only in exceptional cases that this can be (lone cheaper in the crib than in the field. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Hog cholera is often a proof of bad feeding. Did you select and secure your corn before the frost? How much la ad- do you ? astc iu fencing your farm? Plenty of salt is as good for hogs as Tor the cows, especially if the hogs arc in pasture. If the cows are to do good service next winter, they must receive proper care and atention now. If the frost cut the tomato vines before ;he fruit was mature it may pay to pick it for the hogs or cov\s. We feed ours to the cows. It is said that sorrel horses arc less sensible to heat than horses of other colors, and that they have more endurance than others. Farmers are becoming more and more of the opinion that it is the early plowing and not so much the early sow ing that brings the best wheat. Have as few fences 011 the farm as possible. They are one of the biggest taxes tho farmer has, and he should cut them down as much as possible. In many cases it will be found a good plan to apply a good dressing of well rotted manure around the strawberry plants in the fall before mulching. Now is the time to remember that it. rarely pays to keep summer pigs over the winter?crowd them so that they can be ready for market by the holidays at least. Milk that is quickly and without agi tation cooled to iorty-nve degrees or slightly below, is put ;vt a point where there can only be .very slow chemical chatige in its elements.

Jle had Keen mobbed ! ami insuU-Cil. ami the more good lie 'liii the | worse the world treated him. Ui.it he went j right on. Now he proposes to go to Jerusa' lein, and says: "After that 1 must also sea j Home ' Why did he want to visit this won; derful city in which I am tc-dav permitted to stand? "To preach the Gospel," you answer. No doubt of it. but there were other reasons why he wanted to see Rome. A man of Paul's intelligence and classic taste had filly other reasons for wanting to see it. Your Colosseum was at that time in process of erection, and he wanted to see it. The i i vi'.uii Mud v'u'u iui.ii uu ui'i mrueilire, airj ; the eloquent apostle wanted to see that building in which eloquence had so often thundered and wept. Over the Appian Way the triumphal procession had already marched for hundreds of years, and he wanted to see that. The Temple of Satturn was already an antiquity,and he wanted to see thai. The architecture of the world renowned city, lie wanted to see that. The places associated with the triumphs, the cruelties, tho disasters, the wars, the military genius, the poetic and the rhetorical fame of this great city, lie wanted to see them. A man like Paul, so many sided, so sympathetic, so emotional,so full of analogy, could not have been indifferent to the antiquities and the splendors which move every rightly organized human being. And with what thrill of interest he walked these streets, those only who for the first time like (kiiivnhvic miloi' 1 ?nnm r?oti imonrino IT flia vutvi Alv,4,v VUU UUWjjIliV. " lU^ inhabitantsof all Christendom were gatlierci 1 into one plain,and il were put to them whii-b two cities Ibey would above all others wish to see. the vast majority of them would vote Jerusalem and Rome. So we can understand something of the record of my text and its surroundings when it says, Paul proposed in t lie spirit when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem,saving: "After that I must also we Rome." As some of you arc aware, with my family and only for the purpose of what we can learn and the good we can get. I am ou the way to Palestine. Since leaving Brooklyn, N. Y? this is the fiivt place we have stopped. Intermediate cities are attractive, but we have visited them in other years, ard we hastened ou. for I said before starting that while I was going to see Jerusalem I must also see Koine. >\ by do I want to see it? Because I want, by visiting regions associated with '.he great apostle to the gentile?, to have my faith in Christianity confirmed. There are those who will go through large expenditure to' have their faith weakened. In my native land I have known persons of very limited means to pay fifty cents or a dollar to hear a lecturer prove that our Christian religion is a myth, a dream, a cheat, alio. On the contrary, lwill give all the thousands of dollars that this journey oL' my family will cost to have additional evidence that our Christian religion is an authenticated grandeur, a solemn, a joyous, a rapturous, a stupendous, a magnificent fact. So I want to see Rome. I want you to show me the places connected with" Apostolic, ministry. 1 have heard that, iu your city and amid its surroundings, apostles suffered and died for Christ's sake. My common sense tells me that people do not die for the sake of a falsehood. They may practice a deception for purposes of gain, but put tlio sword to their h:\irt, or arrange the halter around their neck, or kindle the (ire around their feet, and they would say 1113- life is worth more than anything I can gain by losing it. I hear you have in this city Paul's dungeon. Show it to me. I must see Rome also. While I am interested in this city because of her rulers or I lior i-ili'-'oiic \v1ia ni'A minrhtr irt liicfAM* virlnrc or vice or talaits, Romulus. an<l Caliguli, and Cincinnatus, and Vespasian, and Coriolanus, and Brutus, and a hundred others whose names are bright with an exceeding brightness, or black with the deepest dye. most of all am I interests! in this c-itv because the preacher of Mars hill, and the defter of Agvippn, and the hero of the ship- i wrecked vessel in the breakers of Melita, an<l the man who held highst* tlnn any ous that t lie world ever saw the torch of Resurrection, lived, and preached, and was massacred here. Show me every place connected with his memory. I must also see Rome. But my text suggests that in Paul there was the inquisitive and curious spirit. Had my text only meant that he wanted to preach here he would have said so. Indeed, in anotalernlace, he declared: "I am ready to preach the Gospel to you who are at Rome also."' Rut my text suggests a sight seeing. This man who had been under Dr. Gamaliel had no lack of phraseology, and was used to saying exactly what he meant,and lie said: "I must also see Rome."' There is such a thing as Christian curiosity. 1'aul had it and'some ' of us have it. About other people's business ; I have no curiosity. About all tint can con| linn my faith in the Christian religion and i the world's salvation and t!ie soul's future i happiness, Iain full of an all absorbing, all j compelling curiosity. paul had a great curi; osity about the next world, and so j have we. I hope soinc day by the grace of Clod, to go over and see for myself; but not now. No well man. 110 prospered may, 1 think, wants to go now. But the time will ome, I think, when I shall go over. I want to see what they do there, and 1 want to see how they do it. I do not want to be looking through the gates ajar forever. I want them to swing wide open. There are ten thousand things I want explained?about you, about myself, about the government of this world, about God, about* everything. We start in a plain path of what we know,' and in a minute come up against a high wall of what we do not know"-. J wonder how it looks over there. Somei body tells me it is like a paved city?paved j with gold: and another man tells me it is j iiKca iountain, ana it is ime a tree, ana , it is like a triumphal procession; ami tint ! next man I met tells rae it is all figurative. ] I really want to know, after the body is | resurrected. what they wear and what they J eat; and I have an immeasurable curiosity to know wiiat it is, and how it is. and whero it is. Columbus risked his life to find I ho American continent, aud shall we shudder to go out on a voyage of discovery which shall I reveal a vaster and more brilliant country?

I must also see Auothcr reason for our vl-it to this city is that wo want to see the places where the mightiest intellects and the greatest natures' wrought for our Christian religion. We have been told in America l?v some neople of swollen heads that the Christian religion is a pusillanimous thing, good for children under( 7 years of age and small brained people, but giot for the intelligent and swarthy minded. Wc have lieard of your Constantine the mighty, who poii.ltfd his army to the cross. saying: "iJy tLis coii'iuer.

I want while in this city of Rom<? to study the religion of the brainiest of the apostles. I want 1<? follow, as far as we can ) race it. the track of this great intellect of my text who wanted to see Home also. lie was a log: cian, he was a metaphysician, he was an allconquering orator, lie was a poet of the highest type, lie had a nature that could swamp the leading men of his own day, and, hurled against the Sanhedrim, lie made It tremble. He learned all he could get in the school of his native village, then he had gone to a higher school, ami there had mastered the Greek and the Hebrew and perfected himself in belles lettres, until~in after years, he astounded the Cretans, and the Corint liians, and the Athenians, by qtiot at ions from their own authors. 1 have never found anything in Carlyle. or Goethe, ar Herbert Spencer that co&ld compare' in strength or beauty with Paul's epistles. I do not thin!: there is anything in the writings :>f Sir William Hamilton that show such mental di.^i-ijiliiic as you find in Paul's argument about justification and resurrection. I have not fottud anything in Milton finer in (lie way of imagination than I can find iu Paul's illustrations drawn from ttte amphitheatre. There was nothing in Robert Emmet pleading for his life, or in Edmund P.nrkc arraigning "Warren Hastings iu Westminster Hall, that compared v. if h the scene in the court room when, before robed officials. Paul bowed and begat? his speech, saying: "I think myself happy, King Agrippn. liecause I shall answer for myself tins day." I repeat, that a religion tliof / nritm-a i iii'tn 1 i L*t? tVi'jf. miict some power in it. It is time our wiseacres stopped talking as though all the brains of the world were opposed to Christianity. Where Paul leads, u ecan afford to follow. I am glad to know that Christ lias, in the different ages of the world, had iri Hid diseipleship a Mozart and a Handel in music: a. Raphael itrid a Reynolds in painting; an Angelo and a Canova in sculpture; a Rush and a Harvey in medicine: a Grotius and a "Washington in statesmanship; a JMackstone, a Marshall and a Kent in the law; and the time will come when the religion of Christ will conquer all the ol>servntories and universities, and philosophy will, through her telescope, behold the morning star of Jesus, and hi her laboratorv soo that "all things work together for good.'' and with her geological hammer discern lh<; of Ages."' Oh, instead of cowering and shivering when the skeptic stands before us, and talks of religion as though it were a pusillanimous thing?instead < ! ilv.ifc, lot ns take out our New Testament and read the story of Paul at Rome. or come and see this city for ourselves. and learn thai it could have been no weak Gospel that actuated such a man, but that it is an all-eonoaering Gospel. Aye! for all ages the power of God and the wisdom of God unto salvation. Men. brethren and fathers! I thank you for this opportunity of preaching the Gospel to you that arc at Ifcuuuilso. The churches of America salute you. Upon you who are, like us, strangers in Rome, I pray the promoting au't journeying care of God. Lpon you who are resident hero, I pray grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. After tarrying hero a few days wo resume our journey for Palestine, and we shall never meet again, either in Italy, or America, or what is called the ?k>ly Land, but there is a holier land, and there we may meet, saved by the grace that in the same way saves Italian and American, ami there in that supernal clime, after embracing Him who, by His sufferings on the hill back of Jerusalem, made our heaven possible, and given salutation to our own kindred whose departure broke our hearts on earth, we shall, I think, seek out the traveling preacher and mighty hero of the text wWmarked out his journey through Macedonia and Aehaia to Jerusalem, saying: 'After I have beeu tliere, I must also see Rome.''
