have suffeerd an irreparable loss. She
seemed to realize more than most do
the limitations to which they are sub
ject, and thus to appreciate to the
fullest any success achieved under dif
ficulties. How sorely shall we miss
her words of encouragement in our
work—her sweet letters of consola
t.on when we suffer pain and sor
row!
And she was one of the most truly
grateful persons I ever knew. Once,
>ears ago, all the shut-in members
of The Sunny South Household club
bed together to buy her a Christmas
present, each contributing a small
amount, none over fifty cents, and
most only a dime. The selection was
a picture, in green tones, of “The
Good Shepherd,” and never shall I for
get her surprise and gratitude. She
knew that with many of these unfor
tunate ones a dime represented real
sacrifice, and she valued the gift ac
cordingly.
So often I think of her last audi
ble prayer, said to have been over
heard by her daughter. In this, you
will remember, she asked to be spar
ed because she saw so much in the
world to be done, and wanted to have
a share in the doing of it. How nat
ural was this for one of her indomi
table will and energy, her heart of
love and sympathy for all mankind!
I like to think that in the world to
which she has gone she will not be
idle; that God will give her some
beautiful task for which she became
fitted while on earth, where she will
be happy in the presence of those
already there, and awaiting, with joy
and faith, those yet to follow.

CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF
Turkeys are more trouble to raise
than either chickens or ducks. It is
best, if you have never raised any,
to let the hen raise the first and watch
.her methods as it is very difficult to
get little poults to*eat. You cannot
get them to see the rood and they
run about with the head up and yelp
till they die.
Let the turkey hens lay in a well
sheltered nest made of soft straw or
hay and see that they are not scared
or disturbed in any way when on the
nest. Keep them in a wired enclosure
large enough to give ample room for
range as a turkey hen gets exercise
froom walking and running and not
from scratching. Feed on good sound
grain; corn and wheat are both good
for them. Let the turkey hen set on
her eggs if you can as she will raise
the poults better than any other moth
er. If you break her un she will lay
again of course, but the second lot
of eggs will not be as strong and you
cannot use these second poults for
breeders or for any type of market
stock except broilers. Thev do not
grow off well and it does not pay to
let the hen waste time and vitality
on the second litter.
It requires from 27 to 29 days for
a turkey hen to hatch and should you
set a chicken hen on the eggs be sure
to select a good hen that has set many
times and can be trusted to be patient
and stick to the nest. When the hen
is ready to hatch slip a coop over the
nest and so prevent any possibility
o fthe poults getting scattered and
having to be run, as this is certainly
not good for them.
Keep the hen and poults quiet for
a few days, letting the poults get start
ed to exercising as they feel inclined
and do not let the chicken hen get rest
less and compel them to exercise be
fore they feel like it.
Feed at first on bread and water
mixed in a saucer or shallow vessel
in small quantities, as soon as they

seem to be able to take it. Cracked
wheat and corn is best. hTey feed
of some kind. Give good, sound grain
largely on insects in the wild state
and we should give something in the
meat line to fill the place of the in
sects and as they can't exercise so
much as when they can chase these
insects we must arrange the ration
accordingly. To get the turkeys in the
“pink” of condition for market and
then not be able to sell immediately
causes loss, as it costs to keep this
condition and it is a loss to lose the
condition gained. It is always well to
keep the market idea in mind and try
to sell just at the season when the
bir-1 is ready. You know that tur
key meat brings more per pound than
any other farm meat that goes on
the market, so if you have any idea
of a good market you can use foods
that will not only make firm flesh,
such as corn, wheat, oatmeal, meat
meal and green, but you can add pe
cans, chestnuts, celery seed and any
thing that will cause a fine flavor.
Feed heavily for the last few weeks
before marketing as flesh can be put
on rapidly. Kill by a stroke on the
head and dry pick and pack very care
fully. But I expect I must make a sep
arate article of the cleaning and pack

WHY NOT CAN YOUR OWN FRUIT
FOR WINTER?
(Mrs. S. E. Buchanan, in The Atlanta
Journal/
Canning fruits and vegetables by
the present day process is a great im
provement over the methods used by
which our foremothers used to prepare
them for winter use. Preserving, as
we now practice it, was unknown then.
There were but two processes through
which some of the vegetables and
fruits might be prepared for winter,
one was driny, the other preserving in
sugar. All fruits were dried in the
sun, and honesty compels us to admit,
they were not always dried carefully,
or in a sanitary way. Spread in the
sun on cloths, sometimes on the house
top, sometimes in temporary scaffolds,
the fruit was exposed to dust, bees,
flies ,etc., though the more careful
housewives usually spread a thin cloth
over the mto protect them from these
things. Preserving in sugar was
tedious and expensive, since every
ambitious housewife felt her pantry,
which was always ample, must have a
store of such good things, equal to
the demand of the great number of
visitors that in those days were ex
pected at all times. Pick-days were
expected at all times. Pickles and
branded fruits were put up usually
by the kegful. But the pantries and
storerooms of today have shrunk from
those generous proportions. Like our
old-fashioned smokehouses, whose raf
ters were hung with delicious home
cured hams, sides and shoulders, they
have changed quarters to the grocery,
“no more are they seen” and appre
ciated.
While this is true, like some other
late day changes, the making of fewer
“preserves,” as we understand the
method is quite a relief to the house
wife. Canned fruits and vegetables
are more wholesczne and more easily
prepared. Canning is the easiest and
quickest method of preserving fruits
and vegetables. With proper facili
ties and careful management it is the
safest and least expensive.
The best fruit should be used; it
must be ripe but firm. When glass
jars are used, and they are best, it is
necessary to have the top fit well and
to use new rubbers every time. Rub
bers after being used harden and will
