As you are the complainant, you must be present at c that hour." The time ami circumstances of the u hearing were noised about the village, and whin 2 o'clock came, the Squire's ollicc was crowded. The gypsy sat on a ^ rough bench, with an uulighlcd clay 1 pipe iu his mouth. He was dirty, uu shaven, sullen-looking.

There is an up|>carnnco of general quickness and activity about them, whicli is not noticeable in poor breeds or in old turkeys. When the cockH and hens have been selected for breeding purposes it should lie reracmberod that tho quality of the llock is to bo kept up year after year. To do this the couks are more essential than tho hens. Young hens always parlake more of tho male parent than tho female, and a full-bred cock will often transmit all of its good qualities to the young of a half-bred turkey hen.

Eggs cannot bo produced without liuao lor the shells. The earlier the pullets are hatched tin sooner they will begin laying. The beginning of the year is a good time to begin keeping accounts. In small yards two cocks aro worse than none on account of lighting. In-breeding is the father of a good deal of swine trouble. Change boars. Extni care is needed with the chickens that are hatched early, but it will pay. Success with young chicks domunds warmth,dryness, liberal feeding and pura air. A few days in the spring will inakc a considerable difference in the price; try to be early. Never leave a horso after driving iu tbo mud uutil his feet and logs aro rubbed dry. When the fowls aro contlued, as they must be largely at this time, scabby legs will be more prevalent. TKa KaaK mnrlrat: naiinlltr fnr Inr.-rn fitr. I ? j - keys is during the holidays; after that tuediiiin fowls sell the best. Tho colt needs salt and the est way to give it is to let him havo free access to u manner or box which contains salt. Teach tho boys in a practical way that the farm is the foundation of their sue* ccssinlife and they will not dec to tho city. With comfortable stables the horses will not sutler. Hut tho more comfort* able the stable the more the horse needs a blaukct when left standing out-doors. Why not work the stallion ? You want tho colts to work, and if the sire spends his lifo in the stall doing nothing won't he be likely to breed iazincss into his colts? What is the uso iu paying twelve to twenty dollars' service fee for a colt from a good horse and thon making a scrub of it by roughing it through the first winter? Oats must be very high in your locality if you cannot alforl to fco l the colt and calves some. In fact, if yon have young animals that arc worth raising at all, yo? canuot afford to go without feeding oats.

Ths so-called cuttlefish belongs to what aru called inollusks or sholl fish, an<l is moro nearly relatod to tho clam? and oysters than to true fishes.
