Boiled potatoes mashed and mixed with coratneal and bran makes an excellent feed for fattening turkeys.

A rail peA covered with straw and tanked upon the sides with corn fodder will make a comfortable shelter for the fowls during the winter at a very smrU cost. It is far better than allowlasr tliem to roost in the stables or stock sheds. A handful of linseed meal Riven tho feed twice a week will be a benefit during the winter.

Thmowimq the err-shells lata the yard where the hena can pick them up Is often the cause of the hens learning to eat eggs. Whex a fowl has developed a full case of cholera there is rarely anypreflt in attempting a cure, unless the fowl is far above the average in value. It ia not wise to feed too little, neither is it wise to feed too liberally. Fowla kkaiild onlv have enourh to make them eat up clean all that is thrown to them and he fed more frequently. Waste of food or starving fowls are extremes which every breeder should avoid. It ran, meal and ground oats -scalded nika &a nrcMallent mess for lavias hena on oold days.

ABOUT WAR-SHIPS. Grkat Britain ia generally regarded as the strongest naval power and France a close second. Some naval officers are inclined to reverse the order, putting France first. Thk submarine war-boat has led to the tying of balloons from war-ship. A balloon hovering over a ahip can detect every movement of a submarine beat coming to the attack. It has been proposed to mako the upper half of war balloons of very thin steel and the lower portion of ordinary balloon material, tbo whole so constructed aa te bold hydrogen instead of ordinary gas. A df.vicb has been submitted to the British Admiralty by which, it ia said, the largest battle-ship in the serviot oan, in four minutes, be protected from the attaok of any number of torpedoes, no matter bow skillfully they may be directed. Tub Minister of the Spanish navy baa before the Cabinet Council in Madrid a plan for thorough reform. Ills proposals include the building of two great batte8hipa, the purchase or construction of several torpedo boats of the first and aeoond classes, and the arming ef all the battle-shipa with cannon of the latest models. Tire "fastest vessel afloat" Is declared to be the thirty-two hundred ton warship built for the Argentine Republic Her biggest guns are two eight-inch runs, film has twin screws, and en gines whloh. in developing nearly nine thousand horse-power, carried nor through a six-hours' trial at a speed of twenty-one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven know.
