TURKEY FATTENING AT this season of

il of the greatest Importance. Many of the
BIRDS brought to market are very poor. and
a little -.,vuuOn to this matter Tor a rev
Ssecks will increase the profits Of the farmer
and the pleasure of the consumer.
1t is only when the cold comes. and tur-
keys are about six months Old that they
should be fed with better and more plentiful
feed. in order to increase their size and
plumpness for market. Indian corn, ground
barley, wheat, and rice and other articles
used to fatten common fowls, are considered
best for turkeys. Their weight, when we'll
iattened and carried to mtrket, should aver
age twelve pounds; their living and dead
weight is eighteen to twelve pounds.
Cobbett says: "As to flttening turkeys
the best way is never to let them get poor
Barley meal, mixed with skinned milk and
given to them fresh, will make them fat in
"A short time, Boiled potatoes mixed with
Indian meal will furnish change Of swee.
food which they relish much, and Of which
they should be allowed to eat ls much as

4 Chapter on Matrimony,

A young lady.out West in communication
to the Sandusky Register, upon the subject
of matrimony, says;
1t is mournful fact that this world is
full of young men who want to marry, but
dare not. Deny this as some will it Is
nevertheless true, as we can very easily
show. In this town, tor instance, there are
some thirty or forty young men, well to do
IN the way OF business and salaries, and yet
refuse to take the step they all want to take,
but dare not, Why2 The large majority
OF them have salaries ranging from five hun
dred to seven hundred dollars year. Now,
the first question TO be asked by any sane
man is; Can properly support wife, if
| take one !"
Then he counts the costs Of living as the
woman of his preference would wish; and lol
he finds, to his amazement, that his income
is vastly too small to support even modest
modern establishment; and, somewhat mad
dened by the reflection, lie plunges into labor
and courts with an assiduity that takes
away his health eventually, in hopes Of at
tanning an income that shall enable him to
marry, and have home Of his own And
this is the secret of the hard uneuding tJIl
Of the young men Of to-day, who are fast
approaching thirty years OF uge-this is the
reason of 50 many disappointed men and
waiting women, deny or hide it as you may.
But, says some good woman, "You do US
injustice; for any woman who truly loves a
man, will adapt herself to his circumstances
with the greatest pleasure" But what man
of any sensitiyeness, or high sense Of honor,
would take woman from easy circumstan-
oes, and pleasant and we'll furnished home
to adorn his four little rooms and h. do his
housework, as the first principles Of econo-
my would demand Of him Few will do it,;
Tor though the woman signifies her willing
ness to take up with such experience, we
are all such creatures OF circumstance that
there would be complainIugs on her part
eventually, and sickness from oyer-exettiun.
unhapplness IRON many cares-all of which
would render marriage anything else than
! pleasant. And 50 the young very wisely
think-preierring few years OF single
| loneliness, IN order to obtain money enough
to support modest kind Of house of be-
tween twelve and fifteen hundred dollars a
year expense, rather than to place mod
estly educated woman in the house OF six
! hundred yeur, where she must do her own
| homework.
Now, what is the remedy. Plainly that
women must lit themselves to bo such wives
as the young men must have. Else the
young men must lit themselves to be such
husbands as the women want, and spend the
very choicest years Of their lille IN the dis
nal drudgery Of a ceaseless toll, breuk king
down health, happiness, energy, only to give
themselves up to marriage when the hest Of
their manhood ls gone. The women must
choose Tor themselves which it shall be,

those parts which set forth the facts of the
