How 10 kSaIse Turkeys.

REPLY-1t il a somewhat difficult mat
ter to rear young turkeys without loss.
There are two critical periods in the life
of the young turkey, when spite of care
they will sometimes die off uniess the pre-
vious treatment has been just right The
most successful breeder of turkeys we
know chooses his breeding hens with care,
as there is something in this, the young
poults are then strong and vigorous.
The turkey hen is well fed, and is not
disturbed until she leaves her nest with
her brood. Then triangular pen, made
of three I2-feet boards, set on edge, is
made, and the brood confined ID 1t until
they can fly over it, when they are strong
enough to go abroad. The food at first
is hard-boiled egg chopped fine, or timely
chopped beef Then crushed wheat or
corn meal. scalded and mixed with sweet
milk, is given until the birds are six
weeks old. Some chopped chives are
given occasionally. The old bird is kept
up until the dew is off from the grass,
and is well fed before she is let out with
the brood, then the brood will not wan
Ger so far, After six weeks the poults
are past danger and will pick nearly all
their living. But to get them home ear
" they should be well fed every night as
loon as they come home.

SONG OF THE MORNING.

The lark is floating on waves ofsong,
Unseen 10 the shining sky;
On he wings of the wind are swept along
The strains that he pours OF high;
Like a seraph he sings, as his way he wing,
OF love that can never die,
For dreary night has dropped at last
II the arms OF the virgin day;
The gloom THAT flied his face has passed
And faded far away,
As the pure dew fades on the pale flower
blades
IN the radiant morning ray,
The bee IS filing the beauteouS bowers
With the hum Of the joyful lay;
As lac steals the sweets Of the fragrant
flowers,
His deep voice seems TO say.
Arise. . rose for the dark night goes
To the kingdom of decay
Tho blacsbir thrills the heart Of morn
With the floods Of his cloudless g!ee.
rs he swings ia the breeze on the tremu.ous
thorn
In "a musical ecsfacy;
Willie the fair riugGove Is dreaming OF love
In the depths Of the dark fir tree.
The roses rise with dreamy signs
From sadness Of the night;
The sweet birds sing and the woodlands
ring
With echoes Of delight;
The bright rlIs CLEAN and the rivers stream
Like Iainbows on their way;
All things rejoice with varied voice,
For night mas passed away.

secrecy for Protection only.

A New York Patron thus says good
word in defence Of the secret part Of the
Grange;
One is prejudiced against secret socie-
ties. To hear him talk YOU would think
that opposition thereto was part of his
religion. But we tell him that all the
secrecy we have is merely to enable us TO
10 our own business by and between our
selves. Our purposes are not a secret /;
neither are our organism or methods. A
| few passwords Is ana signs, whereby
members are known 10 each other, and by
| the use Of which they gain admittance
within the ritualistic forms of service
and ceremony at the meetings, together
with trade arrangements made In the IL
| terests OF the order, constitute what there
| j. Of that which 10 him Is 80 objection
able. His scruples, permit me to say,
| are merest b0sh. The members Of the
| order are not Of class who, under the
| cover Of darkness, are plotting mischief
| to society, or who would take, or could
| be held 10 the observance Of any oath or
rules inconsistent with their obligations
to society as honest men and women, aud
! GOOD and law abiding citizens. Not one

affairs of its own with which the world
has no business to NEEDLE, and which it
is under no obligation to divulge. But
this does not prove that the family Is an
institution of specious nature, or that
| there j. either prudence, wisdom or viz
tue in keeping aloof. If the trade ar
engagements Of the grange are a secret
with themselves and the parties with
whom they deal, what harm is there in
| that? The merchant does not always
tell you truly the cost Of the article you
seek to buy Of him. On the contrary
he generally prefers that you should not
| know il and his costmark will be III fig
ure or hieroglyphics, understood by the
salesman, but which you can not inter
pref Why is it more censurable for a
! body of farmers combined in, and as a
grange, to have their cost mark, which
only themselves can comprehend? If
| you condemn them, condemn him also,
unless, as we suspect Is the case, you have
grown into a habit Of thinking that one
rIle should govern the merchant, and
another and a different rule the farmer ;
| that secrecy on the part of the one, to
| fleece the farmer, is eminenty proper,
but secrecy on the part Of the farmer, to
protect himself, is correspondingly wick
ed. 1t is an objection that you will bye
| and bye overcome.

Prevention Of SNVarming

A correspondent of the Bee Keepers
Magazine in relation to the swarming of
bees says:
After have had all the increase I de-
sire, when hike shows an inclination to
swarm | move it to the place of some
weaker hive. In that way l make all
my colonies strong and when have &C
complished that object but still have a
hive that threatens to swarm | change
places with another, that may also show
signs of swarming. The change of work
ers destroys the propensity of swarming
tor the time being, and by giving them
plenty OF box room they will store money,
and if they are again inclined TO swarm,
you may move back again and it will
have the effect.

The New Orleans Times gives the re
suit Of an interview with Mr.. Geo.
Booth, Of the frm Of NJ. George 81 Co.,
Chicago, in relation to the fruit prospect
there, and shipments. 1t says:
MIR. Booth was formerly a citizen of
Alton, Illinois, where he engaged large
ly in the production of fruits and vege-
tables, selling almost exclusively at St.
Louis and Chicago. His experience as
producer combined with his intelligence
as IA merchant, has no doubt greatly ia
cilitated his observations, and his views
are correspondingly enhanced in value
Mr.. b. commenced his prospecting in
the vicinity of Crystal Springs and
Terry, in the State of Mississippi, and
wound up at New Orleans and the
country surrounding this parish. At
the points named in Mississippi he found
the soil about the same in kind and
quality as at Alton, H., and finely
adapted to the production Of peaches and
strawberries; for peaches it is, in his
Judgment, better adapted, strawberries
growing with slight cultivation as finely
as in the vicinity of Alton where the cul-
ture is high and perfect in detail Upon
full and careful inquiry he estimated the
present crop of peaches in the vicinity of
Crystal Springs at 30, 600 boxes, and in
the neighborhood of Terry at 45, 600
boxes

One pound of corn is equal as food to
about three and three quarters pounds
of potatoes, or eight and one half pounds
Of cabbage, or 20 eleven and one bait
pounds of white turnips. Analysis gives
the nutritive value of corn to be, com
pared with that of oats, as 20 is to 60.
An average of several tables takes the
value of a given quantity of oats to rep
resent 100 while the value of the same
quantity Of corn would be 95, weight be-
ing identical in each case. In practice,
one bushel of corn is equal to two of oats
for fattening; but oats are altogether
better for the growing animals than corn.

Farmers Gardens.

We know how tits 50 few farmers have
gardens. One reason Is, that they need
attention Just when the rush Of work is
on. Wheat Is more important than cab
bage. onions and garden sass generally.
SO the wheat is cared for and the garden
stuff goes to the wall. Another reason
is, that farmers imagine that garden
work must be done with the spade, in
stead Of the pillow Ii you find garden
on a farm it Is usually in some corner SO
hemmed in by trees and fences that there
is no room Tor plow to work. A 7X9
garden requires considerable time to
4" make" if it must be done with the
spade We have heretofore advocated
the allotment by farmers Of clear, large
piece of ground for garden purposes, in
order that most of the work may be done
by horsepower IS we have preached
50 we have practiced. We have laid out
about an acre, worked it with the pillow,
and sown it with the drill. Everything
Is in rows wide enough apart TO work the
cuitivatOr between them. We have a
row OF radishes, a T0w of onions, row
of beets, and so on. This may be waste
Of land, but it Is economy of time and
labor. If you consider that the soil is
less exhausted by only half the usual
space being cropped, perhaps there IS
economy Of land atter AL. What Is an
acre out Of hundred? The too common
fault is that we till too much land. If
we titled less, and did it better, we should
gain more in the long run.-Cor. Weekly
