Turkey Patching.

At this season of the year, the subject of
fsttenipg is of the greatest Importance. Many
of the birds brought to market are very poor,
and little attention TO this matter for few
weeks will increase the profits of the farmer
and he pleasure of the consumer. 1t is only
when the cold comes, and turkeys are about
six months old, says the Rural Neao Yorker
that they shonld be fed better and more plen
tiful food, in order to increase their size and
plumpuess for market. Indian corn, ground
barley, wheat, also rice, and other articles used
TO fatten common fowls, are considered best
for turkeys. Their weight, " hen well fattened
and carried to market, should average twelve
pounds; their living and dead weight is as
eighteen to twelve pounds
Much has been published of late in Our agri-
cultural journals in relation 10 the alimentary
properties of charcoal. It has been repeatedly
asserted that domestic fowls may be fsttened on
it without any other food, and that, too, in a
shorter time than on the most nutritive grains.
Al have recently made IN experiment." says
a writer for Philadelphia paper, land must
say that the result surprised me, as | bad
always been rather skeptcal. Four turkeys
were COZ fined IN pen ard fed on meal, boil
ed potatoes and oats. Four others, of the
same brood, were also, 1T the same time, con-
fined 10 another pen and fed on the same arti-
Giles, but with one pint of very finely pulver
lied charcoal mixed with their foOd-mixrd
meal and boiled potatoes. They had also Il
plentiful supply of broken charcoal in their
pen. The eight were killed on the sauna day
and th' re was difference of one and - hall
pounds each liz favor of the fowls which had
been supplied with he charcoal, thew being
much the fsttesr, and the mes, greatly supe-
Nor IN Poiut of tenderness and flavor.

The Snow Flake,

The first snow flake we have seen this seas
on appeared yesterday. Heretofore 1t las
showed every winter-here or elsewhere. We
are of opinion that it will snow every winter
hereafter. Il it not an eternal tbing-the
snow fake2 Millions Of centur es ago, science
says, softly fell the snow fike. Continents
have disappeared, but the snow fake vet
comes, the emblem of indestructble luveliness
and purity.
The frail, still unsullied visitors. How weak
and delicate they were as they foated ages ago
over the gorgeous cities of antiquity As light
and still, and frail, do they now descend upon
the lonely ruins of ancient greatness.
The snow flake has seen these bills and plains
emerge from the ocean. 1t has seen countless
generations of forests, plants, flowers, insects,
and animals tbrOng them and pass away. II
saw the ancient red men when he frat built his
wigwam by the Father of Rivers. Il saw the
increase, the war, the decay of his tribes. II
saw the venturous voyagers who from the civ
ilized world first cOursed these then wilder
ness sOlitudes. 1t will fall upon the graves
of os all, and upon the dust of the grandest
structures we can rear. Alike upon the ocean
and the continent, the civilized aud the saw

tile dead, and forever descends the snow Fl ke
Thus are lovelness and purity every whore,

The fair downy, spirit snow fake, who

snow fake! Once, if the sages OF geology say

The snow fake proves the divine faithful
