FOOD FOR Young TURKEYs.-Ips some
cases, even the best care fails to secure
a good number of young turkeys. Be-
fore they have fully feathered up they
are the tenderest of birds, but when
they have put OH full dress of feathers.
nothing In the way of poultry is more
hardy or less liable to disease or disor-
der. AS young turkeys, like young
guineas, make such very rapid growth
of feathers when young, they require
constant care and food in fair quantities
and often, to enable them to withstand
the great strain on their systems: and
not supplying them fully at that STAG @
Of growth is what causes so many 10

to commence with, but it is not at ali
necessary. One of the most successful
breeders of turkeys we know of never
fed crumb of boiled egg, but commen-
ces with stale bread crumbs, slightly
mixed with new, fresh milk, giving
them five ormore feeds daily, but only
in such quantities as they would eat M
clean at every feed. Onion tops or
lettuce, chopped up fine, and mixed
with their food, was given, while an
occasional seasoning OF red (cayenne)
pepper was supplied. They were
treated to sweet milk for drinking pur-
poses, and when they got some little
age, cottage cheese was literally sup
plied-and they are very fond of il.
There is as much in the care rs in the
feeding, and they must have the best of
both to induce them to stay with us.

Tho Sparrow Question.

1t would be langhable, were it not
upon Q serious subject, to read the lu-
cubrations of some writers upon the
fancied merits of the English Sparrow
One gentleman, who has not probably
bestowed in the aggregate five minutes
OF his time in observation of the habits
OF this bird, conjectures that pair of
them must destroy several hundreds OF
noxiOns worms and insects each day
during the summer; then, treating this
conjecture as fact, he proves, to his
own satisfaction, that sparrows must
be great blessing to the country.
Were tails conjecture was fact, and iii
were shown that the insects thus des-
troyed wese all TO be classed as the en-
emies of the farmer, it would still be
accessory to show that service thus rem
dered Is of such value as to outweigh
all the evils which arise from their
presence here.
The writer has been a daily observer
OF them for number of years, and he
has not as yet seen sparrow devonr,
OF attempt to catch, an insect or worm,
and would like to hear of any observer
more fortunate in this respect. The
tact is, this bird derives its entire sup
port OF the garbage of the street, from
its pilferings of the gardens and grain
fields of the farmer, and from the
crumbs thrown to him by the hand of
mistaken charity. That he is a nuis-
ance which should be abated as soon as
possible, 10 shown by the following
statements, to the truth of which the
writer Is ready to testify; The sparrow
assaults and drives away our native
song birds, while his only note is a dis
agreeable chirp. He defiles 1.-THE corni-
ces and fronts of our buildings wher-
ever Judgment can be found. He enters
our gardens and destroys the vegeta-
bles as soon as they appear above the
ground. He, with his companions,
hus been known to attack a peach tree
when in full bloom, and TO continue his
operations till every blossom had been
stripped from the tree. lie is very
fond Of the various small fruits, not
only devouring large quantities, but
pecking In to much more than he eats,
thus rendering II UNBEATABLE. In addi-
ton, we have ample testimony from the
farmers that he is. destructive in the
grain fields.
Can 10 DO doubted that prompt and
elective measures should be adopted to
rid the country of this intruder, upon
whose head price was set In England
more than fifty years ago? Let us re-
peal those laws which were enacted for
his protection, offer q bounty for his
destruction, and thus free our land from
this pest while we yet have the power
to Do so.-lCountry Gentleman.

Longevity OF the PercherOn.N Ormans.

Our attention was called few days
ago to statement made by CORES
pendent of the Western Rural, to the of.
feet that the Percheron-Norman horses
were VIGOROUSLY lacking in "constitu.
tion," and that they were consequently
a short-lived race. Without having
given this aspect of the question any es-
pecial thought, we had been under the
impression that the horses imported
from France to this country had, as a
rule, been remarkable for longevity
and If this impression is correct, it cer-
tainly furnishes the most complete re-
futation of the charge that they were
lacking in Constitution" by which
term is meant that structural and Or
ganic vitality and vigor which gives to
a great extent immunity from disease,
and which enables the individual to
successfully resist attacks under which
others less favorably organized would
succumb.
Turning to the first volume of the
Percheron-Norm Stud Book for data
upon which TO satisfy ourself as to the
facts of tho case, we found that, of the
six importations made to Ohio prior to
1850, the average term of life had been
"a years, with ono still living. The
earliest age at which any of them died
was in the case of Rollin (4lS of the
Stud Book, foaled 1862, imported 1856
and died June, 1869, aged II years.
Old Louis Napoleon (No. PSI of the
Stud BoOk,) foaled 1S4S, imported 1851
and died August, 1871, in his oath year.
All the others lived to be over "a, and
one, mare, is yet living, in her 2sth
year.
When it is considered that these
French draft horses are almost univer-
sally kept in a state of obesity, peculi-
arly unfavorablc to health, this showing
Of longevity is very remarkable, and
speaks volumes in favor of their consti-
tutional vigor. 1t would certainly be
more satisfactory conld we haye had a
larger number of individuals upon
which to base our figures, but the i'm
portations previous to 1860 were very
few. We have been able to obtain the
births and deaths of only five others in
all the United States, besides those
above given from Ohio, imported or
foaled prior to 1860. or these given,
one died in his eleventh, another in his
twelfth, two in their twenty-first, and
one in his twenty-second year.-GNa-
tional Live Stock journal, Chicago.
