TURKEY BREEDING.

A fiock OF well grown turkeys make
such an agreeable addition to the re-
ceipts of the farm, and they are often
raised with SO little trouble, that won
der at the seeming Indifference of so
many farmers with reference to to them.
The rules for breeding are simple and
easily understood, and failures are due to
two prominent causes-one, the weather,
which, in some seasons, puts at fault the
utmost possible care; the other negli-
gence.
A hot and dry season is well nigh an
essential for success with turkeys This
is SO important that it is of little nse to
be in haste to get turkeys Matched early.
as we may do with chickens; though old
birds are tough enough, young ones are
exceedingly tender. If brought out by
the first of June, it will, III most cases,
be early enough. Even if they live
through such chilly and damp weather
as is common in May. they will not grow
much until hot weather and bugs come
tn their relief; but, let them hatch out
in June, in weather which drives the
breeder to the shade, and little turkeys
enjoy it; they will stretch themselves in
the sun and LAY off" with every token
of delight. Damp, chilly weather is
their ruin; rain abominatiun: morning
den poison sure TO blight the hopes of
inexperienced or careless breeders.
Turkeys must be allowed to range yery
freely to insure success, but not while
the grass is wet-that is, during the first
two months or so of their lives. After
that, one need not be quite SO particu-
lar.
Early turkeys not being advisable. the
first litter of eggs from hen may be re-
served for common hen in May, and
the turkey hen be invited to lay sec
ond litter, which she will do if broken
up. | think the earliest turkeys do bet
ter in any case with a eommon hen, as
she roams less and the chicks become
more tractabIe, and the females from
among them make more manageable

COVERING FOR WOUNDS OF TREES.

1t often happens that, either by inten-
tion, as in pruning, or by accident, trees
are wounded in various ways. A COM
mon practice is to cover large wounds
with coal tar; but this is objected to by
some as injurious to the trees. Expert
ments made in the orchards and gardens
of the Pathological Institute, at Ruth.
Iengen, in Germany, go to show, how
ever, that its use in covering large
wounds is not injurious; but that, on the
contrary, a callous readily forms under
the tar, on the edges of the wound, and
that the wounded part is thus protected
from decay. There is, nevertheless,
another objection; for if the tar is ap-
piled little too thick, the sun melts it
and runs it down on the bark of the
tree. This can be obviated by mixing
and stirring and thus incorporating with
the tar about three or four times its
weight of powdered slate, fiour-the
mixture being known as plastic slate, and
used for roofing purposes. 1t is easily
applied with an old knife or a fiat stick,
and though it hardens on the surface it
remains soft and elastic underneath.
The heat of the sun does not melt it, aor
does the coolest winter weather cause it
TO crack, neither does it peel off.
The same mixture is also useful for
other purposes in the garden. Leaky
water pots, barrels, pals, cutters, ,sashes,
&C., can be easily repaired with it and
much annoyance and loss of time be thus
avoided. 1t will stick to any surface
provided it be not oily, and as it does not
harden when kept in mass, it is always
ready for use. A gallon will last for a
long time.
A most excellent preparation for graft
ing is thus prepared: Melt pound of
rosin over a slow fire. When melted,
take it from the fire and add two ounces
Of balsam OF fir Canada balsam), or two
ounces of Venice turpentine (not spirits
of turpentine), stirring it constantly. As
soon as it is cool enough, mix ir four TO
six ounces of alcohol of ninety five deg.
strength-according to the season-until
it is as thick as molasses. 1t keeps well,
in close corked bottles, for a long time
Should it become too thick, by the grad
ual evaporation of the alcohol, it can
easily be thinned by putting the bottle
In warm water and stirring in sufficient
alcohol to bring it to Il proper fiuidity.
