Raising Turkeys.
From the Prairie Farmer.

Seeing anlnuuiry IN the Praire Farm
er with regard to raising turkeys, ]
thought would give the result of nv
experience:
/ commenced the business with very
limited knowledge, resulting, of course,
IN poor success. But perseverance and
the knowledge gained in very expen-
slve school, wrought, at last, very salts
factory results
By the following management, [
raised last year about one hundred
turkeys from five hens, and lost but a
very small number, except by accident !:
My plan IS to set the eggs under the
common hen. They have more intelli-
gence, and are more tractabIe. as q
class, than the turkey. The eggs Will
hatch in about twenty-eight DAYS. A
day or two before Matching, soak the
eggs In warm soap suds. The shell is
thick, and if set in warm, dry nest.
will be so hard that in some instances
the young bird viii not be able to break

generally remove this difficulty.
Very frequently the young need as

brane surrounding them becomes dried.
down and tough, and should be re-
moved from them as soon as it can be
done without bleeding.
When thirty-six hours old remove
them from the nest. Take four boards,
a foot wide and sixteen feet long. and
nall them together for a pen; set it on
smooth, grassy, sunny place; take an
old barrel turn it on the side. and
make soft, warm nest of hay OF straw.
lean the cover against the barrel, for
shade by day and door by night.
Put the hen and her brood in the Den.
and let them have full liberty to stav
there till they are able to lump or fy
out. By that time they will be able to
enjoy the liberty of the fields, and not
till then.
Feed them for few days on wheat
bread and sweet milk (they eat very lit
tie of anything at first); then on sour
milk, and bread made of equal parts of
shorts and corn meal, unbolted, use no
salt. Mix the bread with sour milk
and saleratus, and bake in large loaves.
and soak it in the milk, and feed them
often. Give them plenty of good, clean
water, and they will thrive beyond all
expectation.

Valuable Italian Manuscripts.

In the Allgemeine Zeitung, G. NJ.
Thomas gives an account of collec-
ton of italian manuscripts lately added
to the Munich Library They mostly
illustrate the history of Europe during
the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eigh-
teenth centuries; but though almost all
European kingdoms are represented
Venice and Rome have the largest share,
and the collection was probably made
IN the former place. There are num-
Der of the famous Reports of Venetian
Ambassadors, made like the "reports
on the state of the country" contribu-
ted by our foreign agents to the blue
books. One relates to the war of Cy-
prus with Sultan Selim, 1870; another
to that with Sultan Soliman, 1879;
another to the Hungarian war of 1861.
Much light is thrown on the history of
the Cardinals and of the Conclave dur
ing the period-the satire and epigram
which have their native home in Rome
not being wanting. A biography of
Sixtus v, and memoirs about Clament
XII. In twenty one books.

A Song for "Decoration Day. ,,

time following song, written by Miss Annie Her
bert, for Decoration Day. and set to music by
James @. Clark, the well Known lyric poet and
singer, has Just been issued ia sheet form as song
and chorus, by Oliver Ditson Boston.
THEY ARE SLEEPING
Ifey are sleeping where fowrs of the glade and the
In a mantle of love have arrayed them,
While the cannon is hush'd and the buge is still,
Sleeping ON where their comrades have laid them.
On : the days viii grow long while they hnger away
IN their homes which the green moses cover,
And our eyes never trace on their headstones so
grey,
The dear name of friend or of lover.
CHORUS.
Columbia, Queen of the free and the brave,
For the faith that deserted thee never,
May thy banner of stars over mountain and wave
Guard the graves of thy heroes forever.
How still are the ranks of Columbia's dead,
Yet they rushed on the waves of the battle,
How Iowiy the pride of each grass-covered head
That faced the fierce musketrJ's rattle.
Yet better by far is their death than the life
OF the soulless who shrink from their duty,
God crowned them martyrs-who fell IN the
strife
And their lives are TRANSPORTED in beauty
ColtImbias Jewels, how brightly they shine
BY the rivers the sands and savannahs,
While Peace rings her Jubilee anthem divine,
And the hills answer back with hozannas.
May the heart never throb meath the heavens above
That thrills not to hear of their story,
And the arm be unnerved that would seek to re-
One leaf from the crown of their glory.

Node of Managing FESTIVE Horse.

Node of Managing FESTIVE Horse.
A groom, mounted on a high mettled
hunter, entered the High street of
Coldstream, and when opposite Sir
John Maioribanks' monument the
horse began to plunge and rear to a
fearful extent, swerving to the right
and then to the left, but go forward he
would not, nor could all the exertions
of the groom overcome his obstinacy.
The street was filed with people ex-
pecting to see the animal destroy him
self on the spikes of the iron railing
round the monument, when Mr.. Nc
Dougall, saddler, walked up to the
groom and said 81 think, my man,
you are not taking the proper method
to make the horse go; allow me, if
you please, to show you a trick worth
knowing" "Well,' said the groom,
% if you can make him go, it's more
than I can - when Mr. McDouga1
took piece of whip cord, which he
tied with firm knot on the end OF
the animals ear, which he bent gently
down, fastening the end of the string
to the check buckle of the bride; this
done, he patted the horses neck once
or twice, and said: g Now let me see
you go home like a good horse" AS.
tonishing to relate, the horse moved
off as gently as if nothing had hap
pened. Mr. McDougall says he has
seen in London horses which no man
ner of force could make go, while this
mild treatment was always successful
