Farmer's Department RAISING. TUllKEYS. Why is it that at least three out of four farmers do not succeed in raising turkey ? With all other poultry tlioy nro successful, but turkeys are nbntuloncd by most farm ers as too -uncertain and troublesome to bother with. Noav this is nil wrong for onco a person gels a knack of raising theso lino fowls, thw can raise just as manv as they ptea&c. So far ns I am concerned, I generally raise moro turkeys than I know vfhat lo do with, and I have turkoys now left over from last year, that will bo eaten as wo want them. Last winter wo fairly rcvollfd in roast turkey gavo quito a nuuibor away sold others, have some, be side tho breeders, still left. My plan of ruising 13 simple, and I will give it in as few words aa possible : First, I ncvor al low a turkoy to set until about tho middle of May. They will commence to lay early in April, but I take tlie.se eggs away as fast as laid, and keep them until they lay their second batch, which will bo finished about tho second or third week iu May. I then gave Lor some eighteen or twenty eggs, and let her set. Along about tho iniddlo of Juno she will bo off. I then take her, put her with her young on an old barn floor, or other out-building that is dry, and feed on curd and cracked corn. Curd is tho best for a continual feed, when tlo farmer has plenty; but cracked corn or coarse meal, mixed with lobbcred milk, will answer about cqua'ly as well. After thoy havo been in doors for two or three days, or long enough to get fairly on their logs for tho turkey is the weakest of nl fowls when young I let them out, pro viding tho weather is fine, and thero is no dew on tho grass. The great reason why peoplo cannot, or do not, raise tur keys, is because they turn them out ua soon hatched, and about tho first wetting thoy get thoy keel over and die. To suc ceed in railing turkeys, therefore, you must keep them dry until at least ten weeks old, when they will stand as much water as other fowls geeso and ducks accepted. Of course, thoy must be driven in every night, and on all occasions when a storm is threatening. Tho reader will at onco perceive thero is caroin all this, but when tfeur.nksgiviug and Christmas comes to say nothing of all tho Sunday roarts dur ing tho winter, our caro is lost in enjoy ment, and we come to tho conclusion that ''turlroys are worth raiding." Dollar Newspaper. PRESERVING FRUIT. Prof. Mapes Bays: ."If tomatoes arc slightly scalded and skinned, and put into bottles and these set into boiling water for a few minutes, aud corked and scaled, the fruit will keep as long as dceircd, and if eaten when first opened, will have the samo taste a when lirtt picked from tho vines." Our experience is this : Wc pick our tomatoes, wash and peql: tlieii boil slight ly and stir for fivG or ten minutes, so as to to sure to oxpcl all tho air ; then heat tho bottles and fill, corkinir up instantly. If not corked up at once, and when full, tho contents will settle, and lcavo a vacant space. Tho cork should bo a short one, and pushed down betow the level of tho top of the bottle ncek this filled up with molted scaling wax. This is our modo, We have never lost a bottle, nor had tho least change taken place in tho fruit. We havo kept it and generally do a year, or a year and a half, always with perfect success. We havo now a quart bottlo fiilled, which wo shall not break till next summer, when it will be two years old. We have no thought at all of its spoiling. Oyster cans arc equally good, only there will be a tin taste not agreeable. In this process tho heat drives out the air, and the glass kcops it out. This pre serves tho fruit. II ut there is some fruit that will not preserve, on account of the fixed air in it. Plums are of this nature. Pears, on the other baud, are readily preserved. Thero is anothor way to prcsorvo fruit, tho air pump. Pump out tha air, and your fruit is safe, regardless of tho vacu urn in the vessel. Fruit may bo preserved with or without sugar; but it should nev er bo boiled with sugar. Iioil first, then apply tho sugar ; or, boat your syrup, and pour over your fruit. This leaves the tasto of the fruit distinct. Ono thing more ; use only tho purest and best refin ed sugar sugar without taste, for what ever odor or flavor thero is, goes into tho fruit, and will bo tailed. HAPPINESS. In tho constitution both of our mind and our body,cvrythiugmustgoon right, and harmonize well to gcthcr to mako us happy. Rut should one thing go wrong, that is quite enough to make ad misscrable ; and, although the joys of ibis world arc vaiu and bhort yet its sorrows are real and lasting ; for I will show you a ton of por feet paiu with greater ease than one ounce of ploasurc. Aud he knows little of him self, or of tho world, who docs not tbiuk it sufficient happiness lo be fice from soirow, therefore, give a wiso man Jjeath, and ho will give himself every other thing.
