In the editorial Paris correspondence of the
Prairie Farmer we find curious method of
making young turkeys useful:
In Normandy, where the Creve. Occurs are
principally raised, they have curious fash
lon Of Matching the eggs. As the hens are
seldom inclined to set, and are at best only
ordinary mothers, the good women of the
peasantry have fashion of pressing young
hen turkeys into the service. This they do
in the following way: Take a female turkey
Of the preceding year that has never laid and
put her in basket containing plaster eggs.
Cover this basket with a strong linen cloth.
1t will be from four to six days before she
will overcome her natural Discrimination to
set. and become attached to the eggs, or as
the French have it, g. take an affection for
them. When the prejudice is entirely over

easily covering 18 or 90 Of them. The COW
ering is removed, and the innocent turkey
accomplishes the task assigned her without
further trouble, save that it is necessary to
remove her once day that she may partake
Of refreshments. If this is not done these
50 settlers " sometimes starve to death, rather
than voluntarily leave their charge. great
is this forced affection. After Matching, the
little chicks are placed in charge of another
turkey that may not have all she can raise,
and which is kept for bringing them up, and

new lot of eggs, continues her s. mission
These young turkeys are thus made to hatch
three or fur g filters - in a season.

FLIES ON HORSES OR CArrLE.-The annoy

be greatly mitigated by the use of a mixture
Of one third kerosene oil, and two-thirds

n in this neighborhood used it last summer
on his oxen, having it applied twice day,
ON their going out 10 Woodworking and
mon. His cattle gained in flesh during fly
time. | nave used it on horses and two cows
Its benefit is Immediately observable. A
horse, uneasy, fretting and stamping, be-

Those who sympathize with the noble ami
mails in the constant teasing endured by them
from these pests, will be glad to use any
harmless remedy which will spare incessa mt

Horses will keep better on a less supply of
food for the repose thus obtained Cows will

Making Manure in Summer.

With manure enough and labor enough.
no man knows what may be the limits to the
products and profits of the cultivation of the
earth, in the garden or the field. We make
most manure in winter, because then our
stock is confined, and all the droppings, with
the litter and waste of fodder, are readily
accumulated. Cows ysrded every night
leave their droppings and urine where they
may be used to compost with muck, litter
etc =, to greater advantage in summer than in
winter, because the temperature of the sea-
son keeps the compost heaps in a more active
fermentation. Thus the value of the ma
nurc made in summer from q given number
of COWS. or other animals, may be nearly as
great as in winter, though, if they are pas
tured, they may be in the yard less thar
half the time.
Swine used simply as pork producers OF
breeders. are oftentimes of profit, but on
three-quarters of the farms west of the Allie
ghanies, if the value of the manure made BY
pigs were left out of the calculation, they
would show q loss on the balance sheet of the
farm To employ them as manure makers to
the best advantage, in connection with either
private or market gardens, give them GOV
cred yard, having tight bottom, and open
on the south for the sun to come in give
them also the free use of their roofing pow
ers until they are taken up to fatten: feed
them well, and supply them daily with sods,
weeds peat, bog parings, etc, and it mat
tiers little how much you give them they
will work up an incredible amount and make
better m nure of it than the best exposed
barn-yard manure you can make or buy
Every gardener. and not less every farmer
ought to begin the growing season with hall
grown hogs, not with a lot of little pigs.
They should receive az regular attention as
the rows of vegetables or plants, for they are
preparing the material with which to pro-
duce next years crop.
The accumulations in the hog-pen should
be levelled off and mixed somewhat by hand
but the hogs ordinarily do this themselves
tolerably we'll. If lett water-sosked, and
trodden hard, the manure will be of the
rankest, strongest character Imaginable, and

once a month, to clear the pen out. and lay

well trodden, and if possible under cover.

Dried Grass.

This is what ought to be meant when hay
il mentioned. Much eo-called hay is but
straw, little better than oat or barley straw
Several gent emen have written very sensIbly
in the Country Gentlemen, on the subject OF
cutting grass young. adducing good solid rea-
Sons for 80 doing. There is another argu-
ment against the folly of allowing grass to
of hay; it is a fact, beyond the ability OF
any one to refute, that one weeks standing
after blooming takes more from the soil than
all the previous growth, thus robbing the
next year crop, preventing any after feed +,
as well as permanently injuring the field, of
ten causing . breaking up with the pillow and
reseeding. thus losing many good varieties OF
natural grasses which would thrive and thick
en- the sward if treated right. 1t is admitted
that green forage crop of sowed corn vetch-
Is. rye, millet, oats, &C., cut very early,
straction, but if any of these ripen, there is
such a difference as appears evident to the
meanest capacity. The same weakening OF
the soil is caused by the seeding of the grass,
while that article makes q very inferior quail
ity of hay by being allowed to become so
old.
Why do the meadows and upland grass in
America run out, while in England age only
increases their productive powers The quail

ening for the first twenty years by the addi
tiOn Of the best natural varieties Of heritage,
which is given a chance to grow and get
established by the stronger sorts being cut
and removed from the surface prior to the
choking of the finer spe les
There is no exaggeratiOn in the statement
that a landlord in England would give a ten
ant notice to leave his farm if he did not cut
his grass till it seeded, and the next of kin
of a man farming his own land, would have
sufficient ground for taking the estate out OF
his possession and combining HIM in lunatic
asylum, for wasting his own property and
injuring permanently that which descends to
his heirs.
Moreover, by delay the weight is not so
much heavier as may be imagined, for though
the seed which is not knocked out and lost
may be some addition, the dried up stems and
the leaves that fall off or arc eaten by the
grasshoppers, are so much loss. 1t may be
taken as fair criterion when man collects
his hay seeds from his managers, he is a poor
specimen of farmer, for his cattle show
more sense than he in rejecting what he has
fooliehly impoverished his land and spoiled
his hay to obtain.
By the time this is in print hay making
ought to be over, yet you will often hear the
cry, &c The grass is growing" ard unless in
some peculiar instances, SO are those who
argue thus, growing bigoted, or they would
surely have observed ere this, that good hay
must be made from grass that is growing,
not ripening.-Coxniry Cenflensa~-

There 3 Work enough to do.

The blackbird early leaves its nest,
To meet the smiling morn,
And gathers fragments for its nest
From upland, wood and lawn;
The busy bee that wings its way
Mid sweets of varied hue,
At every flower would seem to say,
"There's work enough to do.n
The cowsIp and the spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass,
The snowdrop and the eglantine.
Preach sermons as we pass;
The ant within its cavern deep,
Would bid us labor too,
And writes upon its tiny heap,
There's work enough to do.S
To have a heart for those who weep,
The scottish drrinkard win;
To rescue all the children, deep
In ignorance and sin;
To help the poor, the hungry feed,
To give him coat and shoe,
To see that all can write and read,
There's work enough to do"
The time is short-the world is wide
And much has to be done;
This wondrous earth and all its pride
VIII vanish with the SUM-
The moments fly on lightning wings,
And life's uncertain too;
We've none to waste on foolish things;
a. There's work enough to do"
The planets, at their Makers will,
Move onward to their cars,
For Natures wheel is never still
Progressive as the starsl
The leaves that fiutter In the air,
And summer breezes WOO,
One solemn truth to man declare:
There's work enough to do.n
Who then can sleep when all around .
Is active, fresh and free?
Shall man, creations lord, be found
Less busy than the bee?
Our courts and alleys are the field,
If men would search them through;
The best the sweets of labor yield,
And "work enough to do.D

To SAVE RENNErs Keep the calf from
the COW about twelve hours before killing
There will then be but little curd and what
there is take out carefully and throw away.
Do not wash the inside of the rennets, but
salt well and stretch on a crooked stick, and
hang in moderately cool place. Rennets
year old are generally believed to make
milder cheese than those of less age. To
prepare for use, put one to gallon of water
about milk warm, add little salt, soak
about ten days, rubbing it well number Of
times while soaking to get out the strength,
then take out, salt and dry again for future
use. Strain the liquor into jar and put a
little more salt than will dissolve. Tie uI
in bag half an ounce each of cloves, CHINA
mon and sage, also a lemon cut in slices
and drop into the liquor. Keep in cool
place. and stir each time before dipping out
Put enough rennet into the milk to have the
curd ready to cut up in thirty minutes after
the milk is set.

NEArsEss OF ENGLISH DAIRYxEN:-Mr.
Willard gave high praise to the English
dairymen for the perfect neatness and clean
illness of the diaries Nothing in English
cheese-making struck him with SO much
force and admiration as the cleanliness with
which every thing is conducted. The milk
The dairy is located out of the reach Of bad
odOrs, or any thing likely to faint milk. The
milk rooms have stone floors, the joints of
the tagging cemented, SO that no slop or de-
composed milk can find an entrance. The
utensils and every thing about the dairy are
kept as clean as the table and crockery of the
most fastidious housewife This feature of
cleanliness, the speaker said, he found wher-
ever he went, from the Royal Dairy, at Wind
or and radiating from thence al. through Eng
land. He believed it was this cleanliness and
the untainted condition of the milk, together
with the even temperature of the curing
rooms, that were the leading causes of the
fine favor which is Characteristic of some of
the English cheese.
