How to Make TURKEYS Useful,

In Normandy, where the Creve-
GGms are principally raised, they
have curious fashion 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 a fashion of
pressing the young hen turkeys into
the service. This they do in the
following way: Take female tur
key of the preceding year that has
never laid, and put her in basket
containing plaster eggs. Cover this
basket with "A storing linen cloth. 1t
VIII be from four to six days before
she will overcome her natural disin.
clinati0n to set, and become attached
to the eggs, or as the French have
1t, "take an affection" for them.
When the prejudice is entirely over
come, then place real eggs under,
she easily covers ten or twenty of
them. The covering 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 NAV
partake of refreshments. If this is
not done, these settlers" sometimes
starve to death rather than leave
their charge, so great is this forced
affection. After Matching. the little
chicks are placed in charge of an.
other turkey that may not have all
she can raise, and which is kept for
bringing them up, and the original
turkey mother, supplied by new
lot OF eggs, continues her mission. ."
Those young turkeys are thus made
to hatch three or four " littcrs" in .
season.

The, Way a Good Farmer Works.

The Rudl american says: "A
good farmer will not pillow more land
than he can cultivate we'll poorly
cultivated land is always growing
poorer, while well titled land is con
stantly improving. A good farmer
takes care of all his fields alike, and
will not slight some fields because
they are not so rich as others, but
will devote his attention to the i'm
provement of his whole farm, and
not let any part go to waste, to grow
brush and briars.
A good farmer will not keep more
cattle, horses, or stock than he can
keep in good order. Stock in good
order at the beginning of winter, are
much easier winteIed than poor
stock. a good farmer will have a
straw stack, or good comfortable
sheds for his stock to lay by or I'M
der during the chilling winds of win
ter ; u little money spent in prerar
ing sheds for stock will return a
very good interest.
A good farmer will not depend
upon his neighbOrs for what he can
produce himself; he will early plant
out a good orchard of the different
varieties of frui', and take special
care to cultivate the smaller fruits
and berries, also 10 make good
garden and to keep the same in the
best of order. Aud it his neighbOIs
see that he is doing all this-trying
70 produce all that is necessary to
make himself and family comforta-
ble-they viii be very willing and
even glad sometimes to furnish him
aud his family fruit, &c, while his
own orchard is growing up"

Cotton Seed for Sheep.

In the March number of the Guilt
Gator, correspondent wanted to
know if "feeding cotton seed to
sheep would make them shed their
wool ?" | will answer his question
with my own experience in feeding
sheep.
l always give my sheep cotton seed
in winter, with salt, and sometimes
corn. | never saw better wooded
sheep in this country. Sheep fed on
cotton seed will raise finer lambs than
if fed on corn and fodder alone. l
sometimes give them good fodder,
as change in diet. AS to what kind
of food will cause them to shed, /
cannot answer. Perhaps our Texas
friends can give some light upon the
subject.
The best remedy have ever found,
to prevent the wool from pulling out,
is shears. When your sheep shed, do
not let that deter you from shearing
the same place, at shearing time. |
have found this to be an effectual
remedy. No matter how short the
wool may be, shear it off.

Care of Poultry in Winter,

Very few persons pay the neces-
sary attention to poultry in winter,
altho' at this season they require con-
slant care. A poultryhouse, to bequite
warm, should be constructed with
double walls and roof like an ice
house, and should have as much glass
as possible, to admit light and sun
shine.
Boards about four inches wide are
better adapted for roosts than are
round poles, as the fowls sitting on
them can cover their feet with their
feathers, and protect them from frost.
Old hens are not worth feeding; they
should be got rid of, and young,
vigorous ones substituted. When
more than three years old, hens are
not usually worth keeping.
Abundant food should be given in
winter, as without it very few eggs
will be obtained. Every poultry
house should be furnished with boxes
for the hens to lay in, so arranged
that they cannot roost over them
Food and water should be given
with regularity, and a supply OF
lime, gravel, crushed bones and
charcoal should be always available

Young Hogs for Bacon.

The following communication from
Subscriber" from Madison cOun-
ty, Miss, is a good evidence of the
fact that the South can become as

the West as need be:
Mr.. Editor:-I have been the head of

that my experience may be worth something

twelve or fifteen families of negroes. | will

Poutd s per head. Killed seven at seven nnt
a half months old, which averaged one hun
dred and thirty one and one half pounds pc
head. Killed one hog at sixteen and hal
months old, which weighed two hundred
and fifty four pounds.
My opinion, based upon long years of ez
perience, is that the most practical and eco
nomical mode of raising meat, is to kee
but few hogs, and keep these few well. Nevt
let them get poor but keep them constant
thriving, from pigs to porkers. They shout

Talk About Raising Hogs.

A correspondent of the gainesville
(Ohio) Courier treats that paper to
the following talk about hogs:
Never undertake more than you can feed
properly. Always choose the best of breed
ers. All points considered as to breed, the
Chester White is the best large breed, and if
making money is the object, land that is the
object, } they are the pigs to raise. The poin'
to be settled is: At what age can the most
pounds, worth the most money, at the least
cost per pound, be obtained? Ny opinion
is, from pig from fifteen to twenty months
oil, or IN other words, fed out. A brood
sow is much the hardest SOW to feed on the
farm, and, if kept more than two years and n
half always becomes ravenous, and will
catch lambs, chickens, etc. Hence, the fewer
and more productive of that class of hogs
you have, the better. A pig has got to be
two or three months old, before he weighs
very much. We now have our pigs three
months old on the first of June. Now, if you
have a clover lot, turn them right in, give
them little corn, some milk, etc., twice a
day. You will be surprised to see how
your pigs do grow. Keep right along.
! 1t is now after harvest. Turn your pigs
Ito the stubble. Continue swill, as before,
through August. BY the first of September
it is high time to put up your killing hogs
into small lot, or, better still, good pen.
Feed just what your hogs can eat, al the
time, of the best corn. Throw the refuse to
the pigs. If you have your hogs in lot
don't try to shut out your pigs; there is moi
the least danger in the world of hurting
them by eeping them too fat.
If you wish to fatteu thoroughly, you
should have good, dry pen, solid and clear
floor, ana keep it neat and clean. Grount
or boiled feed pays much the best. If no
handy to a mill, an old kettle or sorgo pan
built upon a Aue; will be sufficient to boi
food for a dozen pigs. If the weather i!
warm, feed when cold. If the weather i;
cold, say December, feed whilst little warm
Add enough salt to season. If you have
had mast, or your hogs have any signs o
kidney worms, feed one half tablespoonful
of copperas twice week pea head, until yol
are satisfied your pigs are we'll. If yot
have sick hog, give him one tablespoonful
of copperas per day until cure is effected.
Never kill your hogs until they 81 ia
that they have to make two or three trial.
to get up. BY this time, if you have mad
good selections, your hogs will weigh from
three hundred and fifty to FIVE hundred
pounds, at fifteen months. Well fed porl
always commands a better price, for two o
three reasons. First, in a large hog Their
are but few more pounds of bone than in
small one. Second, there is a great dea
more lard in proportion; in the third place i
is wholesome, and it looks very nice, whe
some Of your friends pay you visit, to hav
such large pieces to help them to. The sam
rule holds good with hogs that does witt
other stock-Perfection or full growth.
