At various times five different ply scdns had attended

agricultural.
Hints for flle season,

We greatly desire that our friends
should make up statistics Of the pro
ducts of their farms for the year, chi
bracing grain fruit, lay, wool, butter,
cheesr, beef, pork, sugar, molasses,
timber, lumber. fire-wood, stone, &c,
giving to each its market value, and
making ont the grand total for the
wear. We do not wish this for oar
sake, but for theirs. We could use
some of them to advantage, if they
were in our hands. But every farmer
could use them for himself in several
most important estimates. We will
mention some of them.
1. lie would learn just how much
his living costs him. We are con
vinced that very few farmers know this;
what each ones family eat, drink,
wear and burn-all, we mean, that is
drawn from the farm, he sets down
for nothing. But all these items are
to be placed to the credit OF his farm,
as certainly as if he had them to buy.
An estimate of this sort would soon
convince him how little a small sala-
ry will do for the support Of family.
9. Tie would learn from such esti-
mates what crop pays the best for the
capital expended. This is of i'm
mense consequence to the farmer in
his plans for the future. Every such
estimate should be well weighed.
8. If, along with such estimates, he
will also make notes Of the prices and
the facilities for marketing, in regard
to each crop, the value OF the result
will be much increased. A few years
record of such matter, would consti
tute the man who made it an author
ity on such topics, much to his OWL
advantage and that Of his friends.
4. Such estimates would often show
where a leakage occurs on farm
Some crops are, we doubt not, grown
Just because the farmer has been in
the habit of growing them. They
yield him no profit: but he does moi
know it. Now an estimate of this
sort would open his ewes wonderfully,
if il was carefully made.
5. Such estimates would help to
make our farmers eract men. This
would be a greater advantage than
any we have mentioned 20. Farmer.

Turkey FaitenIng.

At this season Of the year the sub
ject of fattening is of the greatest i'm
portance. Many of the birds brought
to market are very poor, and little
attention to 1bis matter for few
weeks will decrease the profits of the
farmer and pleasure ofAhe consumer.
IT is onTy when the coldeomes and
turkeys are about six months old that
they should be fed with better and
more plentiful food, in order to in
crease their size and plumpness for
market. Indian corn, ground barley,
wheat, and also rice and other arti.
cles used to iatten common fowls, are
considered best for turkeys. Their
Weight when well lattened and carried
to market, should average twelve
pounds their living and dead weight
is as eighteen to twelve pounds.
Cobbett says =" AS to fattening tur.
keys, the best way is never let them
get poor. Barley meal mixed with
skinned milk and given tothem fresh.
will make them fat in a short time
Boiled potatoes mixed with Indian
meal will furnish a change OF sweet
food which they relish much, and OF
which they should be allowed to eat
as much as they can. AS with Others.
the food of this bird must be kept
clean, and the utmost care taken not
to give them On the morrow the mix.
tnre Of the preceding day because il
the weather is warm it will sour,
which might displease them"
Much has been published of late in
our agricultural journals in relation to
the alimentary properties Of charcoal.
1t has been repeatedly ascertained that
domestic fowls may be fattened on it
without any other food, and that, too,
in shorter time than on the most
nutritive grains. 81 have recently
made an experiment." says a writer
for Philadelphia paper, "and must
say that the result surprised me, as |
bad always been rather skeptical.-
-Four turkeys were confined in a pen
and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and
oats. -Four others, ofthe same brood,
were also at the same time confined
in another pen and fed on the same
article, but with one pint of finely
pulyerized charcoal mixed with their
food-mixed meal and boiled pota-
toes. They had also a plentiful sup
ply of broken charcoal in their pen.--
The eight were killed on the same
day, and there was a difference of one
and a half pounds each in favor Of the
fowls which had been supplied with
charcoal, they being much the fattest
and the meat greatly superior in point
Of Tenderness and flavor"
