TURKEY RAIsING.-The turkey is
the largest bird on this continent; it's
flesh is the most savory and pleasant
of any of the feathered creation, except
the quail and pheasant; it will endure
more than any other bird it will eat
more corn than any other domestic
bird except the goose, yet it will pay
us to raise them, just as it will pay rs
to raise the pig, which will eat more
corn than any domestic quadruped.--
The turkey is the most tender when
Young, and most difficult to raise of all
the domestic fowls; yet with proper
care in setting the eggs under game
hens and cooping the brood at night
regularly, while the turkeys are young,
they may be easily reared in great
abundance. Never feed the young
turkeys boiled eggs or cOrnmeal dough,
or wheat bread crumbs. They need
very little food of any kind under sew
en- days of age, and should have moth
ing but sour milk set in tin pans. AT
about week or ten days give then
wheat screenings or crumbs soaked IL
sour milk. Let this be their only fee(
till they begin to feather, and the'
give them grain of any kind Tie thu

near her so that she can enter at nigh
to roost. At two weeks old let til
hen loose to roam, and if she is game

GOING TO CoLLEGE.-Fr0m Mrs.
Stoves new story we quote the advice
given to Harry on his leaving home for
college: $50 you are going to college,
boy! Well, away with you there's
no use advising you; you'll do just as
the rest do. In one year you'll know
more than your father, your mother or
l, or all your college officers; in fact,
more than the Lord himself. You'll
have doubts about the Bible, and think
YOU could have made better One.-
You'll think that if the Lord had con-
suited you he could have laid the fOun-
dations of the earth better, and ar
ranged the course of nature to more
purpose. In short, you'll be god,
knowing good and evil, and running
over all creation measuring everything
and everybody to your pint CUP
There'll be no living with you. But
you'll get over tits only the febrile
state Of knowledge. But if you have q
good constitution you'll come through
with it."

wA French geologist, in a recent
memoir upon the origin of coal, takes
the ground that it is derived from ma
rine plants, such as fncus or sea weed,
which are destitute of woody fiber, and
that its first place of deposit must ne
cessarily have been at the depth Of the
sea, and at place different from that
in which these plants had their growth
The argument adduced by him are va
ried and ingenious, and will doubtless
be responded to in due course of time
by those who maintain that the samt
substance was derived from the gralu'
al accumulation of terrestrial plants o
somewhat varied forms.
