Ii.*ythlnc rli-'-’d my celihtyr Jim.
- When it mined
He ne'-er complained,
Bui **id wet weather suited him.
“There’s never too much rain for me,
Aud this Is something like,” said be.
When earth wa* dry m a powder mill,
He did not sigh
Became It was dry,
Bnt said If he could have his will
It would be hla chief, supreme delight
To Hto where tfce sun shone day and night
When winter came, with its snow and Ice,
He did not scold
Beeause it was cold.
But said: “Now this Is real nice;
If ever from homo I’m forced to go,
I'll move up north with the Esquimaux*”
A cyclone whirled along Its track
And did him harm:
It broke his arm
And stripped the coat from off bis back:
“And I would give another limb
To ace auch a blow again,” *\ld Jim.
And when at length his years were told,
And his body bent
And his strength all spent
And Jim was very weak and old,
“I long baTe waited to know," he said,
“How it feels to die,"-and Jim was dead,
The angel of death had summoned him
To heaven or-well,
I cannot tell:
But I know that the climate suited Jim;
And cold or hot it mattered not -
It was to him the long sought spot.

A Practical Turkey Article.
From the Indiana Farmer.
Some time ago 1 noticed a particular
request that aom# one would sey something
about the care and managemeut of young
turkeys. When I first started turkey raia-
iog I was told that if I succeeded in rais
ing one-half the tnryeys hatched I might
congratulate myseli on toy good luck.
Excepting twice, I hare got through with
two-.birds the number. Ureu care ia re
quired, and eternal vigilance, to insure
suet ess. IJut if ever a young thing de
lighted in dying it is the young turkey.
If they can manugc to get into a hole, let
a board fall on them, or get into water
where they can drown, they are going to
do it every time.
Every season I eayl never will l e both
ered with turkeys again; but in the fall,
when I see my nice «hlny flock, I find my
self selecting a trio to keep over. I sel
dom keep more than two hens ar.il a gob
bler, and find I have lee* care and better
luck than when I try a larger number.
8ome sey that young turkeys should uever
lie allowed a free range until they are two
months old. I know by experience the
contrary to be true. A good many years
■go I tried to raise turkeys, and lor fear
something would happen to them 1 had a
yard made, and lost every one.
The old turkeys should be allowed to
•come around the house and yard and be
kept as tame as possible; then they will not
!■« no api io wander away in itearch of n
nesting place. I have a building a short
distance from the heuse where every year
I coax my turkeys to lay and sit. 1 put a
partition between them, so that one can-
not trouble the other. As they generally
commence to l»y about the 1st of April, I
am careful to secure the eggs as soon as
they are laid, for fear they will chill. 1
keep the eggs in a box or basket with a
Soulc! c!s*.L crer sad nadcr tkcav -act
too warm, nor yet cold enough for them
to U chilled. Occasionally turn them
over. A common-sized turkey can cover
easily twenty-ono eggs. Hometin.es I set
the first turkey when she has laid her lit
ter, and the c^gs cf the other ueder heos
at the came time, letting the other turkey
lay another Ktu« •«<! tl<M- wt. 1
ht-d thn turkevx hatched hy the htm,
with the old turkey, as soon as she hatebe^
nnd in this way raise many mere. This,
will do when tb'ev commence to lay early
in the season. There Is not much use,tty
iog to raise late turkeys for they grtiuut
stand cold, frosty nights. /
Just as soon as turkeys corn# oil the
reel, I get them on the gMind if the
weather is si *11 favorable. To be sure
they must be kept Dorn the cold and wet
m much as poam&M; but when it will do,
be aura to let them run. U Is surprising
how ioon the* will begin to search for in
serts and poll the tender blades of crass.
lVfor* taking them from the nest, I give
tb*ni a little soft cread and milk with
plenty of black pepper. Then as soon as
\ call make curd tor them by wanning
»«rect ekim milk on the stove, put rennet
in to ferns a curd not too hard. This 1
feed them until they are over two months
old, after that wheat or buckwheat will
do, but I think wheat I ho best. Be sure
to feed them every night wit* n they come
home, and they will generally come home
to rooet. If they stay out they are in
great danger of being taught. The chotera
is the worst disease that ever troubled my
flat k. Out of a nice Uock of thirty-six I
lost all tut sixteen one season. I saved
them by piittinK a small quantity of car
bolic acid in their drinking water, aod
keeping them away from the bans yard,
where they hail a notion-of drinking ma
nure water. A small handful of salt in a
gallon of aour milk Is a good drink for
them in cholera timet. I feed my young
< (.<•* i often as sU or eight tim-M a day,
a mm.II amount at a time. When they get
old enough to wsmler off by themselves
all day, 1 try to feed them before they go,
aod when they come, as they almost ttl-
way will, in the afternoon. They are
<erv f- :ul • • dusting, and when the
weather is dry I try I try to keep a bed cf
of wood a-hr!*’, and put some insect powder
with them, to kill the rice if they are so
infected. Green onions are excellent fer
young turkeys; will help to keepefl lice,
an 1 are very healthy.
N me lariners’ turkeys seem to lay m*ny
more eggs than others I don't know why
this is so. Two seasons ago from two hrna
(by setting mine under tommon hens) I
had over sixty youcg turkeys batched:
U-t season only twenty-nine. Kai»ed
twenty-one of the latter and less than
thirty cf the former. Ho I think it is Let
ter not to try to raise too many.

IIreaklng Colts.
From Fireside and Farm.
I am always pleased to see our faithful
servant, the horse kindly treated and the
colt in training carefully handled. That
•come hi have been the intention of **Prac
tical Farmer,” and, in the main, ahould
jud/e him successful; but there is
thing si , at bis treatment of his colts
disposed tocritb i-e.
I do not know of any one thing among
the customs of farmers that more fully ex
hibits the habit of doing as our fathers
did, without thinking whether itwaa right
or wrong, than the arranging of theeveoer
when ruing a large and a small bone to
gether, or colt and a fully matured horse.
Ocr friend ]>nia his yearling colt with a
►irons hor-*-, and in the kindntt of his
1 eart wi.hesto make it as easy lor thecolt
a- \> —ille, and gives it three inchee the
a-lvanUir and hi- two-year-old colt two
in. he-. Well, this is the way ©nr fathers
•lid. They thought one inch quite a help,
two inches a btg difference, and three
inches the very extent; or,if perchacce an
extraonftnarj occasion seemed to demand
a little more, lour inches were given. It
wet suppo-td the lar^«-r horse was pulling
the greater r.xrl of the '
.» *, £ w, r. to give
cieyises 3 inches from the end, 42 inches
inside ihe clevise?. I think he will not
quc«tjon the ability of the strong horse to
to pull double tbatyf the yearling colt.
This admitted, how shall we divide the
evener to make him do this? We will
further suppose that he hitched up the
00 • lumlrcr wagon that might have
weighed, with birmelf and another man to
ride with him, 1,200 pounds. Now, it cic.
be seen at a glance that for the horse to
pull 800 pounds and the colt but 400, the
crits end of the evener must be double
the length of that of the horse. As it is
customary to move in the clevis on the
. rge . ,^ or,;e » i n **cad of being 3 inches it
should have been 10$, the center of that
end.
Let us suppose still further that when
. > u worked that 2-year-old colt, you
wanted to pull a load of 2,000 pounds.
Now, honestly, don't you think that a
strong hone is as well" able to pull 1,200
pounds as the colt is 800? These amounts
are as 3 to 2. Now divide the evener in
that way and what is the result? There
are three-eevenths in each end; takeoff
one of them from the horse's end bv mov
ing in the clevis 7 inches, and you 'have it
—one end 21 Inches and the other 14.
If you are as surprised at this result ssl
was when 1 first saw It, you may like a
rule to prove this to be correct. It is on
the same principle as steely aids, or scales
in balancing, and a rule in this is that the
length of beam and amount of weight,
multiplied together on each end, must be
equal. Take any length of evener and
multiply the length of the end you don’t
intend to change by the weight for that
end; divide the product by the weight on
the other end and you have the length of
the short.
Take, for example, a thrse-foot evener,
26 inches, with the last-named load.
Eighteen multiplied by 800 gives 14,4(>o
divided by 1,200 gives" 12; so you wouk
need to give 0 inches the ad vantage on this
length of evener.
Figures won’t lie, and I hope they will
convince you that when you nitch up an
other yearling or 2-year-old colt, yon
should take a bit and bore a hole in a dif
ferent place. . I wouldn’t be surprised if,
notwithstanding you were convinced of the
facts as stated, you would, from sheer force
of habit, feel inclined to compromise on 5
inches instead of 7,or 6 or 8 instead of 10A,
In conclusion, I will just state the way 1
blundered onto this subject. I was brought
up ou a farm. In my youthful days I
worked on the farm in summer aud taught
district school among the fanners in win
ter. I was accustomed to give practical
problems for scholars in arithmetic to
solve.' This problem occurred to me and
was given to the senior class without think
ing what the answer miiht be:
“Suppose I work a large aod small horse
together. The large horso is as well able
to pull 1.500 pound* as the small one 1,000,
and wishing to haul a load of 2.500 pounds,
how much tho shortest eu«l mu*t the largo
horse have on a 3$ foot evener?”
When the result was announced hy one
of the largo boys as 7 inches, 1 was so sur
prised I could not believe him correct un*

A woman whose own purse is not a

fifths of tho divorces of the present day

Now.it !*pnears to me that most of the

by a lack of u realizing sense of the man

I am not going to talk about different
kinds of bedding, but of a device for keep
ing that already in use neat and tidy.
First, in regard to the mattress. Dust will
settle around the little tufts and is not
easily removed. If there are no verr ap
parent evidences of uncleanliness, we know
that a mst»re«« which haa been »«*d _
after year with no special protection must
be far from ctran. Make slips for each
mattress of stcur, unbleached sheeting or i
mmlrn, which can be drawn on and but
toned like a pillow-case. These can be re
moved snd washed as oflen as necessary,
and the mattress may be used for years ana

From In.:Una Farmer.
1 had heard this iiiiestion asked so often
that I began to investigate and look for the
reason, and have counted fifty-five young
men that have lc f t tho farm and gone into
otber occupations and all them are doing
well.
I counted also th* wm*.«n*U

those who baTe left the farm, and it makes
them restless and discontented,
her of the fifty-five on the farm have (ailed
became of high rents and taxes.
Not long since there was a birthday dim
ner given ia our neighborhood where were
present several of the young men of whom
1 have straken. Those with their young
families that were l.ving on the farm were
dressed in faded and much worn garments,
while those that left the farm and were
following otber occupations were well
dressed and comfortable. This waa readily
■een by the farmers.
1 am acquainted with a family of six
boys, five of whom went to town and went
into a trade and are prospering. One
stayed on the farm that was given him and
failed. He then went to town where he ia
working by the day.
The young men of oor day are not slow
to see these tacts. 1 could not ask a boy
of urine to stay on the farm underthepres-
ent oppressive system. If our young farm
ers have anr easy conveyance for their
families at all they have to goto town and
buy some second-hand vehicle that has
been thrown abide by ihsir more fortunate
brothers.
Now the problem bow to keep our boys
on the farm la easily solved.

most profitable industries in which the

there is sn appreciable difference ia tho

A Graphic Description of nu Cn
plained Phenomenon.
T. G lUrbtugh in the Philadelphia Time*.
My great-grandmother wns one of the
few old women that could tell from actual
experience the story of the wonderful
Dark I)sy that fell on the 19th of May,
1780. bhe was a girl of 13 at the time
and lived on t firm dear Boston. For
several days betore the 19th the air had
been full of yapore, as if the woods were
burniug somewhere in the neighborhood.
Children went to school as usual, but on
tbe 10th the darkness came on so suddenly
that they could not sen the lessons in the
hooks and they all looked frightened.
The teacher would go to tbe door and
stxud there for a long time looking at the
itf&tgj state of thibgi. My great-grand
mother used to smile when she told how
eagerly the 6cholm watched him, and how
the childish faces blanched when he would
return to his desk with a puzzled counte
nance.
They could see that he was greatly per-
f dexed if not deeply troubled. He wu a
earned man for tbe times, and hud told
lii« scholar! much about the earth thev
inhabited, but it was clear to them all
that tho the singular darkneis mystified
him. By and bye the chickens began to
seek their roosts, and all at once a little
girl, who had been frightened from the
first, burst out crying. Then the master
dismissed the school.
It was a silent procession that took the
path over the hills after school was dis
missed. The children refrained from
speaking, and the master walked at their
head, os grave ai they. Everywhere birds
were firing to their nests, and the cattle
in the fields were uttering strsoge cries.
In some instances they lesped the pasture
fences and ran pell mell towards the sta
bles, aod the sheep huddled together and
filled the heavy air with bleating*.
My great-grandmother used lo sav that
the clouds that dreadful day had the
strangest colors she ever saw. In some
places they were red, yellow and brown
and had the most fantastic shapes. Ev
erything that was white in the snniighi
suddenly became yellow, and the very
leaves cn tho trees changed color. When
she reached home she ran into the hall to
eee what time it was by the great clock
that stood there; but she could not seethe
big hands without a light, and then she
found that instead of being bed time it
was not yet noon.
^It had bceu raining aince morning, but
fallen. Upon tbe water that was caup.nl
in tube and barrels was a sooty scum, snd
it had a smell like that cf burnt leaves.
You may imagine how frightened ev
erybody was. Xritihhnr* c*»»» together
aud discusvl the situation, but not one
waa competent tc oiler an explanation.
Home thought it meant disaster to the
An»«i 1 **"*, i}r yon knorr ths ws? of the
He volution was going on at that time, and
of late King Georgt's ra»n had gsined
some victories. Then, it was tbe year fa
mous for Benedict Arnold's treason, and
when that deed had been done those that
remembered the Dark Day were not slow
ttn? |ka$ b pdftasded the traitor's work.
My great-grandmother often said that it

else, for no one went oat without a Ian-
;irn, and tbe lights could be seen flitting
iithcr and thither as we see them on tho
streets of a dark nlghL The vapor that
had arisen was eo unwholesome that birds
affected by it fill stead to tbo ground, or,
flying blindly through the air, would
bring up In tne houses. Tbo old lady used
to recall the incident of a robin, which
flew Into her father’s house and wtsraaily
captured bv the children, who were glad
to harbor the poor bird until ihe nexi day
and then release it in tbe beautiful sun-
lighL
It was not strange that superstitious
people thought that the end of the world
had come. Some of the frightened ones

dajs of New England witchcraft, and the
stories thev hid heard in their childhood

As the darkness increased the people
flocked to the churches end religions are
as a dreadful night for the people of
New England.
Another 6*.raDge feature of this wonder
ful day was that the lights carried abroad
by the people were reflected on the clouds.
It wai as if the light had gone upward and
impressed itself there, aud some of the
more frightened idai they saw images of
men and women ou the clouds themselves.
You may imagine how impatiently ev
erybody awaited for the coming of another
day. They were fearful that the morning
would bring no clear.sunlight, though all
hoped it would, and io between hope and
fear the people watched and waited
throughout the darkened country. Some
little otiea triel to sit the night out with
their elder*, but their eyes succumbed to
sleep, and frightened mothers carried them
to bed long before ths night waned.
My great-grandmother said she was awa
kened by come one jerking her out of the
bed and running to the window with her.
It was her mother, and she was shouting
that the darkness had vanished and anew
day come. Sure enough, this was exactly
what had happened. Everywhere the birds
were singing their songs of joy and the
brilliant sunlight was over all. The cattle

ture never looked ao beautiful as then,
after that night of fear and horror.
The children of the lime could hardly
believe the evidence of their eyes. Th*y
would run into tke sunlight and cry aud
leap for joy. Tho dark day was a recollec
tion of tho past, but what a recollection it
waa!
Scientific men of the times failed to ac
count for it. A very learned man, named ^
Tcnny, traveled to find out what he could
about the Dark Day. He found that it
had extended an far north as the American
settlements aud westward to Albiuy. In
some places tho gloom lasted fourteen
hours acd was very dense; in others it was
not so marked.
Such was the famous Dark Day of our
country. Among the many personal rec
ollections of my great-grandmother this
one was the most interesting to me, snd I
never grew tired of hearing iu When I
grew up I read accounts of ths 19lh of
May, 1780, and found them to tally with
her graphic account of it I discovered
that even tha great Herschel said: "The
Dark Day in Northern America was one
of those phenomena that will always bo
read of with interest, but which philoso
phy is at a loss to explain."
We have dark days when there are
eclipses, but here there was nothing of the
kind. It was dark at noonday without the
intervention of a heavenly body, and after
the lapse of more than one hundred years
inlands unexplained by the many great
scientists that have studied the perplexing
problem.
