How to Raise Turkeys.

For several years l had been unsuccess-
full, when at last. becoming discouraged
at repeated unsuccess, l determined to
abandon the business, so | sold nv tur-
keys and rested from my labors for
a time. But l noticed that some of my
neighbOrs succeeded pretty well i'm rails
ing these birds, and from them obtained
few hints, which l thought to put into
practice. So last season | purchased IL
hen and a few eggs, determining this time
that if / failed l would never make an
other attempt. In a proper course of
time the mother turkey brought. off ten
young birds. | had near at hand an old
house, dry and warm, in which l kept
them nights, and on damp, gloomy days,
when | thought it hurtful for them to be
out. Their feed for the first three days
consisted of hard boiled eggs, chopped
fine, which fed them from my hand
After this, the hard-boiled eggs, together
with bread crumbs and other scraps from
the table, all of which we chopped to-
gether fine. On rainy days, when | could
not let them out, l chopped in their food
onion blades, tongue grass or mustard
leaves which they seemed to relish. l do
not give them raw and uncooked food,
and for my care have been well reward
ed, for, out of the little brood, | never
lost but one turkey, and that from an in
jury which it received; and at Thanks
giving | had some of the largest and fin
est turkeys in the neighborhood, not only
tasting well, but being the admiration of
all who saw them.
From my experience, l am convinced
that, with little expense, this can be made
a pleasant as well as remunerative bust
ness-the great essentials being proper
feed and keeping them in a warm, dry
place, as they are the first few weeks ten
der and cannot bear the dew and rain.
The feeding of eggs may, to some, seem
extravaganza; but if you wish your fowls
to grow fast and gain strength, | think
there is nothing equal to it, as the increase
in growth will by market time compen-

of feed, which is only necessary for the

The Social REVOLUTION IN JApAN.-The
Japanese calendar and mode of reckoning
time, which have been observed in the Empire
during. as it is supposed, two thousand five
hundred and thirty three years, was changed,
and the foreign Christian method substituted
in its stead, on the LIST of January, 1873. New
Years Day will in future be the first day of
the first month of the japanese year The day
is to be divided into twenty-four hours, in
stead of twelve, as before and the one which
corresponds to Sunday is to be observed as
holiday. Strange to say, the japanese chroni-
clers and astronomers have just discovered
that the 25th day of December should have
always been observed as a grand holiday by
the Japanese, and that the ceremonial has
been neglected for some reason which they are
unable to explain. Christmas Day is to be
henceforth held sacred to Trinnia, the first
Emperor of Japan. These extraordinary facts
are really encouraging to the progress of the
Christian cause in Asia. Do they come, even
ct this late moment, from the dogmas of
Confucus or the preaching of ST. Francis
Xavier and other missionaries?

A Dull Day in Congress.

Congress yesterday was duller than usual.
-Ames' confession of the previous day had
most depressing effect upon the honorable
Senators, and sadness prevailed throughout.
The funny man from Nevada, who was wont
to set the Senate in roar, failed to obtain
hearing, and Sherman was compelled to with
draw his amendment to the Appropriation
bill raising the salaries of certain unfortunate
officials The amendment proposed by Mr..
Hill, of Georgia, to make the pay Of members
of Congress eight instead of five thousand dol
lars per annum, fell through from the
Same cause. But the House, in Com
mittee Of the Whole, managed to
worry through some necessary work. The
Senate amendment appropriating three hun
dred thousand dollars for the expenses in
cident to the representation of the United
States at the Vienna Exhibition was amended
to two hundred thousand dollars. Polands
committee was directed by resolution to in
quire whether any members of Congress were
interested, la Credit Mobilier, in the
