w. Il. Galloway, former citizen
of Columbus was in town Saturday.
On the last day of May he had his
left shoulder crushed by heavy
horse falling upon him. SO that he
has but little use of it, not being able
to put on his coat. Tie has evidently
lost none of his old-time pluck and
perseverance, however, and will
doubtless make much better use of
himself than many a man who has
two sound arms. He has recently
taken a trip through eastern Kansas
and into Missouri. He has high
praise for the former region, es-
pecially of the farms and the farm
houses. During this trip his eyes
were opened more than ever to the
immense profit OF planting walnuts
for the timber. He has himself Il
tree, five years old, which bore
walnuts this year, and made a
growth Of seven feet during the past
season.

ABOUT RAISING TURKEYS.

Among the worst enemies of the young
turkeys after they begin to ramble, are
the tall grass and grain crops. While the
hen gets on well enough, the young get
tired, sit down, and the mother bird is
soon out of hearing. The chick strug-
giles on for n time, but soon perishes for
want of food and lowering As IL rule,
the focks of careless managers suffer
more from this cause than all others com
bined. They drop OF one by one, espe-
cially ON cold, foggy days. and the loss is
SD gradual that it is hardly roticed with

kept ont Of the moving fields. the onts,
rye aud barley. Unless tins he done,
success with the crop will he very small.
Turkeys do not succeed SO well upon the
prairies, and upon rich bottom lands,
mainly from this cause. They succeed
well i'll New England, and in the dairy re-
gions where there are extensive pastures,
with hilly or well drained soils. They
have more turkeys 10 the square acre i'll
Rhode Island and Eastern Connecticut,
because this region abounds in dry, gray
ely loans, pastures with short feed. and
oak and chestnut forests, which furnish II
large amount Of food. The owners of
rather poor farms, with II large share OF
hnckleberry pasture, can he thankful that
they have a ilrst-rate chance to enlarge
the poultry crop, and make money.
There IS a good deal OF nonsense pub
llshed Ill the books about the feeding OF
Young turkeys, and the iiocks later IN life.
The simple fact is that tins bird is a vora-
cious feeder, I" which hardly ANYTHING IN

The New York Nation, some four months
ago, copied from Vennor's almanac that wor-
thy's weather predictions for the first quarter
Of 1851, proposing to test them by actual
comparison, as the days went on 1t now
overhaus the record, and finds that the
Canadian prophet has not had the luck of an
average guesser. That is he has not guessed
right half of the timc-thus he said II ex-
pect blockades of snow in the United States
about the 1th and Sth of January Both
these days were fair. His announcement for
February contained an equally signal failure.

I. cold spclD will extend from about the
18th Of January up TO the 12th of February,
with balmy, spring like weather prevailing
in many parts, and snow rapidly disappear
ing" In many winters the cunning ambi-
guilty of brief and about would have saved
him, but the past winter had no mercy On
prophets who prated Of thaws and spring
like weather, located definitely or Indefinite
". From January IL till February : the
mercury was Aoi above freezing On single
day, and on no morning during January,
February or March did it reach 40. So
much for the long thaw and the ''balmy,
spring like weather"
For March Mr.. Nennors cautious ''the
month probably will end lamb-lke" contained
not particle Of truth. There was not one
mild day in tlD month and on the last two
days snow fell ''On the 9th and 10th gales
are probable" The only day on which gale
actually occurred was the 27th, Of which day
Mr. Nennor said nothing. The Spring will
open favorably, and everything will be pret-
ty well advanced by April 18TH Farmers
say differently. Floods may be expected
in Chicago about the first week in April"
Rivers are usually high in April. The only
question is, which week, and the freshet in
Chicago dates from April Goth. There will be
warm weather just following the Goth" The
weather became warm on the eth so this
might have been claimed as an approximate
hit had it not been spoiled by the mistaken
prediction of snow on the 25th and 26th.

And the little flowers that hid from the cold
Are springing anew from the warm fiesh mouih'
o SpfIngtime sweet
The whole earth smiles thy coming 10 greer
Our hearts TO their inmost depths are siirreu
By the first spring flower and the song Oh Inc piid
our sweet. strange feeling no room can nhd,
They wander like dreams through the heart ah'
mind.
o Sprngtme sweet
How the old and the new In thy soft hours inec'
The brightness and beauty that could no. ias' %
Their fair ghosts rise with the endlng OF sno"'
The Springs and the summers of long ag".
o Sprngtlme sweet ,,,
How thon once vert dear and far and competel
No sweetness of words nor OF music could Tell
The rladness that once made my bosom swell
And fhou art NOT the same as the springs OF yore,
For the beauty and blessing that coue no more
O Springtimc sweet
Nth silent hope thy coming greet,
For all that in winter the bright earth lost
Doth rise, newborn, with the ending OF frost;
Even 50 shalt thou biin2 meat last, al last
And the hope and the joy and the love OF the past
From the German.
