We must have none who have not the true
turkey color deeply and strongly marked,
with the rich, changeable gloss that gives
SO much beauty to them in the sunshine.
Reject all white-quilled, brown and
light copper colors. When you have
fine gobbler, keep him for years; and
select your hens on the principles laid
down, and you will see rapid improve
ment in your flock. ..
Everything that is worth doing at all
is worth doing well. Let no one think it
too small a matter to require the masters

agement are not only beautiful, and
great convenience to farmer, but they
are highly profitable.
Besides if farmer would really live
well. he must produce his eggs, chickens

THE STRYcHNINE OF CoMMERcE.-The
source from whence this poison, is OBJ
tanned, which has gained SO worldwide g
celebrity recently, is thus noticed in Dick
ems Household Words:
In Ceylon, and several districts of
India, grows moderate sized tree, with
thick, shining leaves, and short, crooked
stem. In the fruit season it is readily
recognized by its rich orange-colored ber-
ries, about as large as golden pippins.
The rind is hard and smooth, and COW
ers white, soft pulp, the favorite food
of many kinds Of birds, within which
are the fat, round seeds, not an inch in
diameter, ash-gray in color, and covered
with very silky hairs. The Germans
fancy they can discover resemblance in
them to gray eyes, and call them crows
eyes but the likeness is purely imaginary.
The tree is the stryohnine nux vomics,
and the seed is the deadly poison nut
The latter was early used as medicine
by the Hindoos, and its nature and prop
critics understood by Oriental doctors
long before it was known to foreign ma
tions. Dog-killer,' and fish-scale,' are
two of its Arabic names. 1t is stated
that at present the natives of Hindostau
often take it for many months continu'
ously, in much the same way that OPT
um-eaters eat opium. They commence
with taking the eighth ofa nut day, and
gradually increase their allowance to an
entire nut, which would be about twenty
grains.-If they eat dire lily before oil
after food, no unpleasant effects are pro
duced but ifthey neglect this precaution
spasms result"

The Turkey.

This noble American bird has now be-
come common to every civilized country,
and the more widely known the more high
ly he is appreciated.
1t would be disgraceful to us as Amer
lean Agriculturists, and breeders to suffer
this splendid bird to deteriorate That
he has already lost something of his size,
beau'y and strength, we think evident.
The wild turkey, when full grown
weighs from ten to thirty pounds. He is
a strong flyer, though he does not readily
take wing His color is not black,
though it approaches very nearly to it.
1t is q dark iron color, sprinkled with
dark bronze spots, which in the sunshine
are exceedingly rich. The comb and
wattles are intensely red.
We are breeding birds Of less size than
the original and consequently of less
strength.
But the evidence of deterioration is
most striking in color. Some persons
have had the lack Of taste to breed
white turkeys and speckled, and faded
dirty brown are common. Such turkeys
have miserable pitifal look as compared
with really fine bird, which has not had
the turkey bred out of him by lack oi
skill and taste.
Nature breeds on true principles, and
the bold gobbler of the forest freely haz.
ards his life for the favor of the hen.
Strength and courage are rewarded hero
as elsewhere in natures economy.
We have bred turkeys without care
and we are reaping the reward. We must
retrace our steps. We must select male'

Lines to an Oyster.
With feelings strange and underlined, gaze upon
thy face
Thou choice and juicy specimen of an ill fated
race
How calmly, yea, how meekly, thou reclinest in
thy shell
Yet what thy woes and sufferings are, man may
conjecture well.
For thou hast life, as well as he who recklesslv
seeks thine,
And could'st thou speak, might draw forth tears
as briny thy brine
For thou vast torn from friends anl home, and
all thy heart could wish,
Thou hapeless, hopeless, innocent, mute, perse
cuted fish
Perhaps thou vast but newly jon'd to some soft,
plump, young bride,
Who ope'd her mouth for food with thee, when
fow'd the flowing tide;
Perhaps thou hast family, from whom thou
hast been torn,
Who sadly wall for thee, alas who never will
return.
Thou vast happy in thy native bed, where blith-
some billows play,
Till the cruel fisher wrench'd thee from thy home,
sweet home, away;
lie stow d thee in his cobble, and he rowed thee
to his strand;
Thou was bought, and sold, and opend and
placed in this right hand
know that while moralize, thy flavor fades
away.
know thou shoudst be eat alive, before thy
sweets decay;
know that it Is foolishness, this weak delay of
mine,
And epicures may laugh at it as sentimental
whine.
Well, let them laugh, l still will drop tear DER
thy sad fate,
Thou wretched andill-iated sire, thou sad and
desolate;
Ger thee and oer thy kindred hangs one ALL
consuming doom,
To die slow and lingering death, or living find
stomb
Like the Indian from the forest, and the roebuck
from the glen,
Thy race is dwindling silently before the arts of
mem
and the shore,
And the haunts that long have known ye, shall
know ye soon no more.
The Princes Bay and East Rivers are vanish
ing away,
And clamless soon will be thy streams, and oys-
terless our oay
Rapacious man, before your prime, ordains that
We shall die,
And drags we from your cool retreats to broil, and
stew and fry.
Why were We made raey, rich and luscious to
the taste?
'Tis that has stripp'd your hickest banks, and
made your beds waste
"Your virtues have proved sanctifed and holy
traitors to ye,"
And that which was your proudest boast, has
served but to undo We.
| Fen /, the friend of all your kind when think
of what thou art,
When ponder o'er the melting joys that swal-
lowing will impart,
Can delay the fate no longer-one look, lit is my
last,
A gulp-one more-a silent pause-a sigh-ant
all is past.
