One great secret of raising turkeys il to
take care, and take care all summer; and
even then you cannot always raise them, for
sometimes they will not lay, or they will not
hatch, or something will befall them. Some
times we raise turkeys without much care,
when the season is specially favorable but
generally the measure of care is the measure
of success. A boy ten or twelve years old,
with little direction from his father, can
easily take care OF one or two hundred young
turkeys, and he cannot earn SO much money
on the farm in any other way. 1t is an old
maxim, that, if thing is worth doing, it is
worth doing well. Some may think this con-
slant care is too much trou BILE to raise turkeys.
This is q free country and you can omit any
part Cor the whole) of these suggestions. If
you know a better course, by all means pur-
sue it. This painstaking has made turkey
raising about as sure as any other branch of
farm industry. l have usually kept from
eight to ten hen turkeys for breeders, and
have raised from 80 to 1877 in a summer. In
1868 l sold my turkeys for % cents a pound !;
they amounted to $3.50. 40. In 1869 ! sold
for % and % cents pound gross amount of
sales, $3S61S That year kept an account
of expenses, and calculated the net profit at
$213.5S. In 1870 1 sold for 25 cents pound !;
amount of sales, $311.37 In 1871 1 sold for
Is cents a pound; gross amount of sales,
$26S. ID. Iwould rather raise turkeys and sell
at Is cents pound, than to raise pork and
sell at 10 cents a pound. Perhaps in fatten-
ing pork you can save the manure better, but
the turkey droppings, if gathered and saved
every week and kept dry, are worth half az
much as guano, and are certainly worth cent
q pound.

RAISING CALvEs.-James Fisher, jr, of
Harrison Co., o., gives his way of making
six months calves equal to yearlings. I'm
the first place, after the calf is day old
take it from the COW, and have no trouble
in teaching it to drink milk. 1 feed for one
week on new milk, and then change to sweet
milk, and then to sweet skinned milk, the
milk having stood "a hours. l feed sweet
milk the first three months, and then COM
mence adding a little mush and bran. If
calves are kept growing all the time for six
months you have no idea how large they will
be. As a general thing calves are turned out
on grass after two or three months care.
Then they become thin and pot Quilted, and
when winter comes they are but little larger
than when you quit feeding them. If any
kind of young stock gets stunted, it takes a
great amount of extra feed to bring it up
where it ought to be, at six months or year
old

A housewife who vouches for the success
of her plan, makes these suggestions for to-
mato training; When the plants are ready
for the garden, make considerable hill of
good compost. Chip manure is excellent,
and quantity of chicken manure is good.
After the hill is made, drive a long stake
through it. This may be six feet high. Set
the plant near it. The training will require
attention. The plant will Immediately begin
to sucker, or throw out side shoots, Just above
each leaf These must be cut of, and then
the plant will run up vigorously. Tie it
to the stake, and do not be afraid TO use the
knife. Keep on cutting each stem that ap-
pears in the axil of leaf, and keep on tying.
The first bearing branches come directly from
the body of the plant. Remember that this
trimming must be continued as long as the
plant bears Thus trained, the fruit is su-
perior in szeT quantity and flavor, beside be-
ing less liable to rot or drop off.

The roundabout way in which one thing
depends on another, especially in agricultural
operations, is extremely curious Darwin,
for instance, believes that in England clover
can only be fertilized so as to effect seeds by
the aid of bees He thinks the clover is in
capable of GENERALIZATION. He then goes
on TO contend that only for the cat there
would be no clover, because field-mice de-
stroy bees and cats keep down held-mice, and
thus the bees are preserved for the clover.
II the race of bees were TO die, many kinds of
flowers in England would become extinct
and therefore whatever aids the bees aids
large tribes of flowers to sustain themselves.
We have noticed the substance of the above
paragraph in several exchanges. We also
once saw in An agricultural exchange an &C
count of farmer who brought his farm up
to high state of fertility by bedding his cat
with charcoal. Possibly an additional sylla-
BILE, which would have made il read cattle,
was omitted by careless eompositor. We
can hardly believe that there is not likewise
some error in the construction of the shove
cat story from Darwin. That 80 profound a
philosopher should be guilty Of writing such

The South Australian wheat crop is a fail
ure but then, South Australia grows about
as much wheat as fourth-rate American
state, 8, l9l 1850 bushels, and takes ], 1888, $50
acres to do it on. This is an infnitesimal
share Of the worlds wheat supply; but it is
worth noticing in this connection that reports
of a failing wheat harvest are more extensive
than for several years. The Australian col
onies have light crops, Chill reports a small
export, the outlook in Russia is said TO re-
peat last years prospects, and, while a gen.
eral failure Of crops over a region as large as
the United States is scarcely possible, the
American wheat crop is very backward, and
no one yet knows what it isto be, which is un-
usual two months or so before the beginnin 8
Of another crop year.

TIE SCIENCE AND ART OF AGRICULTURE.
A writer in Macmillan's Magazine for May
makes an able plea for the introduction of the
science of agriculture into the curriculum of
universities, and suggests that the expert
ment might easily be inaugurated at CAM
bridge or at Oxford. Agriculture is an art
which can be practiced with the fullest sue
cess only by means of scientific knowledge
and methods. The problem involved is how
to secure from an acre Of ground the greatest
possible produce at the least possible expense.
The quantity of food which an acre will bear
is, within the limits imposed by Natural con-
ditions, simply matter of science and art.
Science comes first because it involves the
knowledge of principles which art is to ap-
ply. The farmer who is to be most emil
nently successful, then, must have a scien-
ti6c education, must be versed in the science
of agriculture, just as those men who are to
practice the arts of medicine, of en- cheering,
and so forth, must be educated in the respect
i've sciences, the application of which consti-
tutes their profession. In the view of too
many people farming is purely an art, largely
based on old precepts, and an art in which
success when it comes is too often a mere
happy hit. The contact of seed and soil, in
huenced by climatic conditio MS, gives the re.
suits for which the husbandman labors. But
the husbandman is greatly in the dark as to
processes which attend the development Of
the seed into the plant, and so on. Let this
darkness be dissipated by scientific knowledge
and the success which now comes SO often by
chance would be a certainty, for the farmer
understanding the principles that affect the
development of the plant from the contact o.
seed and soil, could effectively direct ant
modify the processes going on under and OF
the soil he cultivRtes Agriculture present.
many problems, and these are distinguished
even above those of other sciences by the de
mands which they make for wide knowledg
and clearness of scientific judgment on tn
part of those who investigate them. Agricul
ture presents, then, field of investigation
| fully worthy of the attention of scientif,
men. With the science of agriculture full,
developed, and with farmers possessed of
| degree of scientific education sufficient to en-
able them to apply the results of investiga
| ton to the practical work which it is theirs L
perform, the art of the husbandman will be
come very much more than it is at present
| There is a worthy work to be done, and it
encouraging to see the efforts that are bein
made to secure its accomplishment.

nonsense seems incredible. In the first place,
bees seldom NEEDLE with red clover. II was
once claimed by spectators in italian bees
that they made large quantities Of honey
from red clover, but the fact is that neither
black bees nor the Italians visit red clover to
any extent 1t is only the short heads Of the
second crop, or a few of those which are
dwarfed in size, that bees occasionally visit.
II it is true that white clover can only be fer
tilted by bees carrying the pollen the life Of
the bees is by no means dependent upon the
destruction of mice, for the hives are gener-
ally made inaccessible to them, or may easily
be constructed 80 as to be secure from their
depredations; besides, the cat is not the on
ly animal that destroys mice either in this
country or in England. Nearly all the car
nivorous birds and quadrupeds prey upon
mice. II undomesticated bees are referred
to- they are still more secure from mice, be-
cause most of the species do not climb high
into the trees in the hollows of which wild
bees are found. Owls and hawks destroy
more of the kind which climb trees than cats.
Foxes and various animals of the weasel tribe
destroy great numbers Of mice. That clover
is dependent on bees for existence, and bees
on cats, is far-fetched absurdity.

Strawberry TapiOea. makes a most
delightful dessert. Soak over night large
teacupful of tapioca in cold water; in the
morning put half of it in yellow-ware baking
dish or in the porcelain one of silver pudding
dish. Sprinkle sugar over the tapioca on
this put quart of berries, sugar, and the rest
of the tapioca- Fill the dish with water,
which should cover the tapioca about quar-
ter Of an inch. Bake in a moderately hot
oven until it looks clear. Eat cold, with cream
or oustard. If not sweet enough, add more
sugar at table, and if in baking it seems too
dry, more water is needed. A similar dish
may be made by using peaches, pared and
sliced, instead Of strawberries. Pineapples,
pared and grated, are also excellent with tap
ioca.
