As a matter of fact, where it li&s been tried, the birds also doubled their laying qualities. The new Mammoth Russian sunflower is the variety to grow; this contains much larger seed, and with more egg forming material, than the common sunflower. Fed to the Light Urahmas, it has indeed been known to make them lay equally as well as the Leghorns or any of the other smaller breeds. It also improved them greatly in size by being given to the chicks while growing. The Russian sunflower can be produced more cheaply than any other grain with much less labor, too, and best of all it will grow, in any climate on any soil. Therefore, fanciers as well as farmers should not overlook It, for poultry, if rightly handled, will bring more money according to the capital invested than anything else on the farm.?The Kpitomist.

The exact time, of course, varies a little with the climate and the seasons, but will usually be in March and April. A mild atmosphere and occasional showers are favorable to success. Tho scions Bhould generally be selected beforehand. say very early in the spring, and kept in moist earth in the cellar.

Prevent Spring; l?iv iml 1 i njj. Watering bees is of considerable benefit and we would as soon think of allowing our other stock to roam the country in quest of water as the bees in the apiary. During winter the moisture that condenses in the hive furnishes the colony water, hut during the early spring these condensations cease. They begin brood rearing early, and in order to prepare food for the young larva must have water. The most vigorous bees go forth in quest of water, lind it at some brook or tank where it is ice cold till themselves and are chilled, and do not get back to the hive. The necessities for wu( AP t; t < ?i i I i 1 ' ' ub. . nil. uum; I< .irons I'llll'l lit'OS go out. to share a like fate, until the colony is emaciated and the brood dies. Every careful beekeeper well knows that one bee in early spring is of more value to him than a half a hundred later on. In order to prevent spring dwindling we take a Mason half-gallon fruit Jar, remove the screw top. take b seven-eighths board four inches square and with a small gouge or a knife cut a groove nearly from one extreme corner to the other, taking cure not to cut quite to the corner. Fill the jnr with water, place the board over the mouth, inveit all quickly and btnml in a convenient place in the apiary. When the sun shines sulllclcntly so that bees can fly. it will nlso warm the water through the Klass. and we arc always able to give them pure, warm water.

Ttnlalnir Turkey*. Many have the ambition to raise turkeys but comparatively few dure embark upon the venture for fear of making a failure. The young turkey is indeed a delicate bird, and needs most skilful care and proper handling. For example, it must not be exposed to rain or cold: must not be overwearied by the restless wandering of the hen; must have the right food,and not too much of it. Therefore, as the mother bin! is naturally a wild wanderer. a great difficulty is met with, in keeping her within bounds, let alone the constant watchfulness demanded to keen her and her brood cut of the numerous dangers to which they are subject. The majority of failures, however, are due to over fussing with the food. Baked cakes, boiled eggs, and other prepared dainties, give much trouble, for they are really not good for the birds. Mother Nature herself shows us this. Take it where the wild turkey flourishes, and broods of a dozen or more will he seen running with the old hens, from vhieh it is reasonable to conclude that the best feeding is that which the birds procure in their native woodland haunts. This consists chiefly of grubs, beetles, flies, and the seeds of plants and trees: also, the wild chestnut crop, and the smaller acorns on which the wild turkey fattens fast. The berries of the woods afford much food, and if this natural feeding can be nearly imitated, good results will generally attend the care of a young brood of turkeys. The list of foods required Is as follows: Buckwheat, corn, barley, wheat, young grass, chopped cabbage, chopped meat scraps, and usually the kitchen waste from the table. Cooking this mixture, however, is not desirable. The young birds tirst meal should consist of cracked corn and cracked oats or wheat, soaked in water over night, so that it may be in much the same condition as the food naturally gathered on the open ground. The fact is. dry food is one of the frequent causes of failure to rear turkey chicks.?The Kpitomist. ^< (1 ? rop? nmi "i n?*tr Selection. It is gratifying to notice that most seed crops, such as beans, peas, turnips and other marketable winter vegetables. have had a satisfactory season. and that in spite of large imports of dried peas and beans, our American crops have sold at good prices. There should be no need of imports of any of those crops, and there would be none if intelligent American farmers would grow some of the varieties that are in fashionnble demand. ICxports of American peas and beans have increased in the part year, partly due to the great quantities needed by tho American army in the Philippines. The beans that are in the most demand and which pay the highest prices are not always the kind that the average farmer can raise at a profit. 1 have found that it pays better to raise the particular variety which seems adapted to my soil and climate than to force the growth of some which only Indifferently thrive here. This. I believe. is becoming the fashion among all seedsmen and growers. There are certain restricted areas where onions do their best, and another where peas and beans thrive well. By finding out what crop will do the best in a certain locality we soon establish a rt putation for quality that pays in the ? nd. * wiiiicini-iii n imc onions ormg a dollar or more a barrel in every market because of the reputation established in this way. New York state hops ore quoted higher than those of any other section for the same reason, and western New York peas and beans are likewise worth a little more than the average lot that goes to market. More care in the selection of seed varieties I believe is needed just now than anything else. Seedsmen and consumers of dried pens and beans are becoming more critical and exact tng. They demnnd the best and pay accordingly. In raising crops of this nature it is impossible to tell be forehand the acreage or the average size of the crop, consequently the producei cannot estimate the output or chances of good prices. In most other farm products it is e asier to foretell a possible glut in the market. It is well to dispose of the crop as a consequence as early as possible at a fair price. Plenty of dealers and seedsmen will make offers for the output if the eon ditlon of the seeds is guaranteed to he nrime. This method of selling the crop in advance is in most oases the best, and produces more general sat| i. faction. 3. W.

Sound is one of the simplest things in the world, and yet to many persons, young and old, it is one of the most mysterious. Tell them, for example, that the fall of a tree in a forest makes no sound in itself, and they smile incredulously; or, if they believe you, they confess that they cannot understand it. When you say that the presence of some person or some thing with ears is absolutely essential to tin- production of sound they seem unable to grasp the idea, and contend that the fall of the tree does make, and cannot help making, a noise, which is there, all the same, v.lu.her there be anybody to hear it or not. Hut they are wrong, of course, for there is no sound except in the ear. In the making of a sound there arc throe essential conditions. I.et us take this illustration of the tree in the forest. It falls and strikes the ground. That is the lirst condition. Its striking the ground sets the air around it into violent agitation. That is the second condition; hut there is no sound yet. only a series of vibrations through the air. spreading out in every direction from the fallen tree. These vibrations, it must lie remembered, are not sound. They are only the factors that produce it. and they cannot produce it until the third condition is supplied, which is the tytnpaniuin. or drum, of somebody's ear. against which they strike. ami thus make.! :< sound.

Horses of all kinds ami sizes, from the pretty little Shetland potty, the pride of his young ow:n r's heart, up to the strong, heavy horses that pull the great rumbling loaded down wagons through the streets of the busy city. Why, there are so many horses no one thinks anything about them. Von cannot walk down the street or even look out of your window without seeing some of them. Hut there is a ? ify in far-away Italy, across the wide Atlantic. where there is only one horse, and this horse is considered such a curiosity that it is kept in tin* public gardens. People there visit the gardens to s"p this horse just as you. perhaps. visit the zoo in Lincoln Park to b *e the lions and hears. Hut how do tIn* people in this i ity get along without any horses? Well, the city is Venice, and, as you no doubt know, this city is a very wont! rftil one in some respects, for it is built upon many small islands, and ii- .siroots arc ino canals between the islands. Water here takes the place of streets of earth and stone, and boats take the place of horses. How funny It would seem to /to to school in a gondola. as they call th ir boats there! Venice seems lik. fairyland at night, when the principal streets or canals are lighted up and the dancing waters reflect the many colored lights of the pretty gondolas that dart over the wr.;ers. Some of the buildings are tall and beautiful, and as you look at them from a distance they seem to rise right out of the water. If you over go to Venice be sure to call to see its one and only horse, for that is a noted personage there, and one not to ho slighted.

Eggs are best when stored in a cool, but not very cohl place?about 50 to CO degrees is best?and with the large end down. We gave this advice as far back as 1872. after considerable testing of it to that time; all our subsequent experience has corroborated its soundness, says a writer in the London Book of Poultry. There is a distinct percentage of better result every way when eggs are stored in this position". if the other circumstances are equal. The air chamber is loss expanded when so stored, and even for eating after some weeks there is a perceptible difference in the "freshness" of eggs thus kept. Eggs may be stored in this position either in bran or in a board pierced with holes; and if the board, or the bran case, lie covered over by a cover of blanket or sacking made to fit. and a cool and quiet place is available, the very bci/t will be done for the eggs. The covering over is nut to keen them warm, but to prevent draught, which increases evaporation of the t'.uid contents and enlarges the a'r chamber. This process we want to retard as mucn as possible. * " " It is often desired to preserve summer eggs for winter use. and there are several methods of doing so.

Another plan is to pack them in saturated salthrir.e; this wa they keep quite "good" a long while, hut become rather hard and the white perc ptihly saltish. For ggs to be kept any length of time, however, there is no d*mht that the best preservative medium is a solution compounded of lime, salt and cream of tartar. Different people u?e slightly different proportions; a very good recipe is as follows: Carefully slake and then pour the rest ?><" two gallons or water (other quantities being in proportion) upon one pound and a half of quicklime; ?hen add 10 ounces of salt and two ounces of en-am nf at Intervals and leave t<> temper tog ether for a few days: tlim pour olf the d?ar liquor, anil imheil the eggs in it as closely as possible, keeping always well covere'1 with liquid. A jar of spare liquid should always be ready to fill up as required. Whatever process be used, it ;s important to store or treat the eggs the same day as laid, it* they are fertile eggs.
