THE FARM. If your hands havo boon too full to got grapes and small fruits started in the spring by all means stop right now and vow, by tho great horn spoon, that another year shall not pass without the accomplishment of this purpose, yes, and include tho starting of an orchard. No farm without an orchard and small fruits is moro than half what it should and would be if theso were added. If by any chanco youi locality is inimical to an orchard you can havo all tho small fruits with cherries and plums, these will do well anywhere. But thero is stime for tho garden; don't let this go by. You can't afford to miss tho things tho garden gives, for you get tiic benefit of them as you go along. You don't havo to wait a year or two. It is best to cofino the brood for a week after hatching. Should tho mother hen then become restless, sho may bo let out during the middlo of tho day. As tho turkey retires early and dislikes being disturbed after sotting down for tho night, bo sure and coop them beforo tho sun sets. Tho young turkeys will not cat much tho first week. Teed senarato from tho mother, for sho will dovour all tho food within reach. For downright greediness an old turkey hen has few equals. Dry bread soaked in sweet milch is one of tho best foods for tho young turkeys as curd from fresh buttermilch. A whole flock has been raised on warm curd. A custard made Of ono egg to a pint of milch, thickened with bread (no sugar) is a good food. When about two months old feed wholo wheat part of tho time and mix corn meal with their feed. This should not bo fed exclusively. Allow plenty of liberty, as confinement will kill young turkeys. Whon tho mother hen begins tramping wildly from ono side of tho coop to tho other, hotter let her out unless tho wcathor is unfavorable: When about tho size of partridges and old enough to follow thji mother in long rambles tho young willmeed but littlo attention, simply a littlo feed morning and evening. They much prefer bugs, grasshoppers, insects and seeds to a moro civilized ration. Do not neglect to bring them homo at nigut ana put unuer sneiter until arnJd enough to fly into trees and no alwaySSlcet wisoly tho best resting placoKrSit, henco virrnin somctimns Teach them to como at tho sound oi your voice, it will savo many a weary tramp in searching woods and fields. , Six weeks timo is sufficient to fatten for market. Feed twice a day all tho wholo corn they will eat, but do not attempt confinement as a turkey chafes under restraint, and will lose flesh rather than fatten. They will not take more exerciso than is necessary to keep them in good health. Once I had the mania to ring hogs.says a writer in tho live stock Indicator. Expensive appliances wero provided, and ovcry hog had to wear its nasal jewelry. I kept it up until every porker on tho farm was provided with a ring. I had a pasture which was put to clover becauso it was so foul with morning-glory that it would not grow a crop of any kind. When the hogs wero turned in that pasture, 1 observed that a fow of them had lost their rings, and thoy wero constantly rooting up the morning glory roots. I did not ring tho next crop of hogs, and havo not done so to this date. The field is now f'reo from morning glories. Ringing is a practice that is fast going out of date. There aro men who would not cut tho horns off a steer, but thoy take great plcasuro in putting rings in hogs' noses. When tho horns aro cut off, tho wound soon heals up and that is the end of it, but the ring in tho hog's noso is a sourco of initation from tho day it goes in till the day of his hogship's death. Our sentimentalists, who have wasted so much energy in coiidcmingtho ovil and suffering of dehorning cattle, might touch up this business of ringing hogs without overstepping the bounds of propriety. Wo have no use for lings in hogs snouts. Thumps is a diseaso of an acute nature, but may assume a coronic form through neglect of proper care, and may permanently injure tho animal. Tho diseaso is caused by over-exertion. If properly cared for at tho begining of disease, tho chances for recovery aie Very good, but if allowed to become chronic, a comploto recoveiy is very doubtful. As soon as a horse is effected' with thumps he should be stopped and all harness quickly removed and head and nostrils bathed with cold water, and as soon as sufficiently to admit of ad ministering, givo sulphuric other, one ounce; sweet . spirits of nitre, ono ounce; fluid extract canabis indica, two drains. Mix and givo at one dose in a pint of cold water. Repeat ovcry two or three hours until all spasmodic action ceases. Then complete rest and light feed' ing for atlcast (xno week, Chronic casos need tonic treatment. , y" iv. "'' ,J " W'ot' the Itow? "Say, dad, w'ot.s this 'ero bloody row about fieo silver coinage them blarsted Yankees arc 'avin'?" said young Johnny Calf to his father, John Bull. "Aw, son," said J. B., "don't V see it? This 'ore's tho way of it. Wo British coin hall of 'Hindu's money. Hit's hall silver. Wo coin Now Zealand's money, nit's hall silver halso. Wo don't produce silver, so wo 'ave to buy it. Wo 'ad to pay ono dollar and thirty cents, or somethink over fivo shillings and four pence per bounce for silver so Tong as the blaistcd donkeys 'ad frco coinage This was 'ard hon bus, causo wo couldn't make hon Hindia's w'cat, yo know, nor we couldn't mako nothink hon Haustralian and New Zealand gold; but we knocked 'cm, son, wc knocked 'cm." " -Ow, dad? 'Oh'd yo knock 'em?" "Well, son, wo sent a Britisher hover thero hamong tho traitors in tho blarsted Yankee congress, and 'c fixed 'cm. 'E got tho 'olo lot of bank presidents and railroad pres idents 'avo 'ired to servo 'em, to dcmonctizo silver, 'cause yo see, theso 'oro fellers bein' money men, wanted money scarce, yo know, so they cauld loan 'igh and buy low.

"But, dad, did they demonetize silver,suro?" "Did they? Well, I should say thoy did. And silver did just w'at wo wanted. It went down, down, down, and now, don't yo see, wo buy tho Yank's silver hat (JO cents a bounce, coin hit hinto money, send hit to Haustralia and New Zealand and get ono dollar and thirty cents worth of gold for hit, and wo halso com hit hinto rupees and send hitto Hindia and get over twice as -much w'cat and cotton for tho same money as wo did 'afore So now wo buy w'eat and cotton of Hindia, and tho blarsted fool Yankees is a squealin' 'cause prices is low. That's 'ow tho row comes." "But, say, dad, if tho Yanks was to 'avo free coinage again wouldn't silver como Imp?" "Yes, my boy, it would: 'cause w'en a man can take 'is silver to tho mint and 'avo it coined hinto s free, Vd bo a bigger fool vetn'ttT&JLanKS is n 'o aiunt see that the silver mirtrGliar is wortli a dollar, an' a bounce of faiTvr?! worth a dollar and nine cents." "But, dad, that would be 'ard hon bus. wouldn't hit?" "Yes, my boy, it -would.

"But, dad, I'd think tlioy'd silver and 'ave frco coin-ago again. Why don't they, dad?" "Well, my boy, I'll tell ye, but don't yc blow hit. Thoy arc just blarsted fools. Thoy ain't moro'n 'arf civilized. Thoy never was as smart as a Britisher anyway. Why boy, the United States is the only country as claims to bo civilized 'at don't own its telegraph system and run it lor tho people. A Yank named Pinknoy once said, 'Millions for defence, but not one cent for tribute,' but 'o's dead and hall 'is kin is dead, too, and tho fool Yanks is payin' us two hundred millions of tribute every year in interest alone, but thoy don't know it, for same icason I gave ye. I expect they'd raiso 'ell hif thoy know, but thoy don't, so w'ot's the hodds, so long's we're 'appy." Coming Nation. A Tiny Itcpubllc. Among tho tiny republics of tho world, perhaps the tiniest of all, in point ol population, is tho of Tavalora, on the island of that name, about eight miles from Saradina. It has a population of 55, and less than two miles in length, Sovei eignity was accorded in 1886 by King Charles Albert to the head of the Bartoleoni family, who was given the title of King. For nearly 50 years this monarch Paul I. was his namo ruled his micros copic kingdom with skill and judgment, and enjoyed peace with all his neighbors. Ho died May :10, 1882, alter ex pressing tho desire to his soi rowing relatives that noncot thcm.siiouiu succeed him. He strongly wished his subjects to govern themselves. No prelendor arose, and for nearly four years tho simple inhabitants got along comfortably without any hand at tho holm of their shin of state. But in 1866, after lengthy discussions, in which the women took a prominent part a republic was proclaimed. Tho wo men had a large say regarding the constitutioiyund they scoured the right of sufiVrage. Tho President was elected for si;t years. He and other officials jjorve "without Salary.
