TURKEYS a Ind Ducks.

While the-~ben fever is raging 50
extensively,pe perhaps a chapter GA tuTI
keys and ducks my be acceptable d
your readers. As it is a subject Of
greatinterest to your country friends
now, and may be to your city folks
next winter, allow me 10 tell yod
the most successful plan 10 raise
them. Epicures say the flesh Of the
light colored turkeys is more delicate
than the dark colored or black ones,
the latter being more Xix e wild turf
KEYS, and are harder to raise; how
ever that may be. choose the largest
and finest of your flock to raise from
and have thcmput in pen OCCASION
ally, where there are good pests
made soon in the Spring, and they
will be very apt to choose the pen TO
lay in; If not, and they are disposed
to ramble, have them shut upterery
morning till they become reconciled
to lay in it. Save all the eggs in 4
warm room and let no one be-set till
all get dome laying, then set them all
at once, 10 eggs under each hen
set them all il 4 row, and if You
wish them to set in any nest and
they are not disposed to do SO, EIsten
them 90 day or two and they ale
easily learned to set any place you
wish them. Note the dry you set
them and in four weeks, when they
begin to hatch, throw out the shells
and take the young ones put and put
them in basket till all are ha tfhed,
then put Ill the turkeys, male and
female, old and young, in a dry pen
or house. If the weather is rainy,
feed them with wheat and corn bread
crumbs for few days, then LET them
range the pastures if the weath her be
dry, and you need have very little
more trouble with them, except to
drive them up at night secure from
vermin. The beauty Of this plan is
in having them all come otf at
once, making but one tro uble, and so
many large ones being all turne I'd out
together is the best protection from
the birds of prey If some should
wish to go to setting before others
feed them, and let them set without
eggs; it will be but few days before
all viii be ready. In thi way you
may raise hundred from few hens
wi til very little trouble
Asturkeys, unlike some other bi-
peds, are very sociabIe with their
neighbors, and the path Of rectitude
so grown over with grass, neighbors
who wish to keep only their own,
should choose different coiors; one
raising only the black; another vel

Poland ducks are now most preya-
lent in these parts. Th ley are large
and delicate, meat greatly superior
to the common duck, and will lay GO
