Ga" A successful turkey-raiser feeds
the young chicks, during the first eight
days, on eggs boiled hard and minced !;
during the second week he adds bread
crumbs, chopped with parsley and
onions; during the third week he keeps
back the eggs, and only continues the
bread and vegetables afterward, instead
of the bread, he gives moistened meal,
boiled peas, and, above all, mi!let, of
which young turkeys are very fond.
When the birds are sickly, they are
easily cured by making them swallow
a pepper-corn, their bills being care
fully opened, to avoid hurting them.

no doubt that the sum which they will

BY towns up to $lsS, 600, and the di
rectors will try to raise the balance o.
Sl2 600, which must be secured before
tho road can be put under contract, by
private subscriptions. The critical
point ia the enterprise has evidently
been reached, aud the time is one when

It seems TO us that this table affords
food for very careful thought on the part
OF all our citizens. The sum expended
for schools is certainly generous, being
nearly two-thirds as much as all the other
expenses Of the town as reported by the
auditors. The expenditure of such sum
calls for the exercise of the utmost vigil
lence on the part of all the citizens that 1t
may be wisely employed. And Jet very
few Of the voters In town have. visited
the schools during the year. Another
fact is apparent, viz, that the average at.
tendance on the schools has been less
than one.half of the scholars of school age
in town. Some indeed have attended
other schools, aud others are SO situated
that they could not attend any school,
but il Is safe TO say that more than one
third OF our money expended upon the
schools Is lost through non.attendance
and irregular attendance. Besides the
facts which appear upon the table, Dis
trict No. 8 has expended 81 800 ia the
erection OF school house, which is 40
honor alike TO the district aud the town
We come now to take some brief noti-
ces Of the schools that have been held in
town during the year.
