The Secret Of Raising Turkeys.

| A recent, number of the Lancaster
Farmer says: One of our most success
full breeders, remarks upon this point:
One great secret of raising turkeys is to
take care, and take care all summer;
and even then you can not raise them,
for sometimes they will not lay, or they
will not hatch, Or. something will befall
them. Sometimes we, raise turkeys
without much care, when the season is
especially favorable, but generally the
measure of care is the measure of sue
cess. A boy ten or twelve years old,
with little direction from his father,
can easily take care of 200 turkeys, and
he can not earn SO much money on the
farm in any other way. 1t is an old
maxim that if a thing is worth doing it
is. worth doing well. Some may think
this constant care is too much trouble
to raise turkeys. This is a free coun-
try, and you can omit any part Cor the
whole) of these suggestions. If you
know better course, by all means
pursue it., This painstaking has made
turkey-raising about as sure as any 9TH
er branch of farm industry. l have
usually kept from eight to ten turkeys
for breeders, and have raised from
ninety-nine to one hundred in a sum-
mer. In 1860 / sold my turkeys for 27
cents a pound; they amounted to
$3.50. 4O.. In 1869. / sold for rs to q
cents per pound; gross amount of sales,
1886. Ia. That year kept an account of
expenses and calculated the net profit
at S2I3.58. In 1870 / sold for % cents
pound amount of sales, S311.32. In
1871 sold for Is cents pound; gross
amount of sales, $2S6.13. l would
rather raise turkeys and sell at Is cents
a pound than to raise pork and sell at
10 cents pound. Perhaps in fat
tening pork you can save the manure
better but the turkey droppings, if
gathered and saved every week and
| Kept dry, are worth half as much as
guano, and are certainly worth a cent
a pound Wy
The turkey crop is steadily increasing
| in value, not more by the Increased
| number of farmers who make this
specially in their poultry raising than
/ By the increased attention and skill of
! those who have long been in the busi-
ness. Care in selecting stock for breed
| ing brings ample rewards. The pros
| pect was never better than now for the
extension of the business among the
farmers who have a good range and
| good markets. The average size Of
| turkeys in the districts where the busi-
ness is made specially is steadily in
creasings and we look for still further
! improvements

The Mother Spider.

W
A Hartford lady who was out in the
woods in Massachusetts, few days ago,
caught a. big spider bearing a large
whitish ball filled with splder-eggs 1t
was a female spider (they devour their
good-for- nothing husbands, and thus
make them serve some good purpose),
and she fought for her ball of eggs as
she would for her hatched-out children.
These mother spiders fasten these un-
wieldy balls to their bodies and carry
them around. If separated by accident
or force, they will seize and try to save
the imperiled packet of eggs and re-
fasten it to the body. Our CORE
spondent makes this quotation from
.sWood's Natural History"
''The Lycosid@, or wolf spiders, are
all ground livers, and take their prey
in fair chase instead of catching it in
nets. They are mostly found among
herbage, low bushes, fallen leaves and
similar localities; and if they should
happen. to feel alarmed, they run for
safety under stones, MOSES, rocks and
into any accidental crevice in the earth.
The family includes an immense num-
ber of species, which are found in
almost every part of the world. The
female is, extremely fond of her eggs
and young, She enyelops her eggs in
silk, and forms them into a globular
ball, which she always carries about
with her until the young are Matched.
When the time comes for the little
spiders to make their appearance in the
world, the mother tears open the en-
velope, and so aids her young to escape.
AS soon as they are fairly out of the
egg, they transfer themselves to the
body of their parent, where they cling
in such numbers that. she is hardly visi
BILE under her swarming brood. They
remain with their mother through the
winter, and in the following spring the
young disperse to seek their own living.
About June the female has made up
her little packet of eggs, inclosed in
snow white silken envelope, and carries
this burden about wherever she goes.
Nothing will separate her from her
eggs. If the packet is forcibly re-
moved she remains on the spot, hunt
ing in every direction, and evidently.
suffering great distress; and if the
white ball be laid near by, she soon
spies it out, darts at it almost fiercely,
and carries it off, ~r-
A large spider of this kind, adds ou1
correspondent, caught in the woods
near Palmer last week, was accidently
separated from her packet of eggs and
upon putting it into the box with the
spider, she Immediately seized it, and
spun thread attaching it again firmly
to her body. 1t has now the range of
fernery, and readily takes flies when
thrown in. The family watch with
interest further developments ts.-Hart-

gardless of flavor or time Of ripening,
then the rich soil and the rank growth
are needed. Cutting off all but one or
two fruits of the clusters while they are
small and green will also cause those
remaining to grow to larger size.
