Ilore is a short chapter on the rearing of Turkeys which comn. nds itself to the attention of our reader?) for turkey raising is one of the departments of a farm with which most of our farmers and fanners' wives seem least acquainted A flock of good-sized, heal thy. well-fattened turkeys, about holiday times, is not only pleasant to look upon, but to feed on. and, if you are economically disposed, to raise the wind on: Why is it that at least three out of four farmers do not succeed in raising turkeys ? With all other poultry they are successful, but turkeys are abandon ed by most farmers is too uncertain and troublesome some to bother with. Now this is all wrong, for if a person gets the knack of raising these fine fowls, they oan raise as many as they please. So far as lam concerned, I generally raise more turkeys than I know what to do with, and L have turkeys now, that were left aver last year, that will be eaten as we want them. Last winter we fairly reveled in roast turkey, gave quite a number away, sold others, have some, bjsides the breeders, still left. My plan of raising is aimple, and I will give it in as few words a3posssib!e First, I never allow a mkey to set until about the middle of May. They will commence to lay early in April, but I take their eggs away as fast as laid, and keep them unlil they lay their second batch, which will be finished about the second or third week in May. I then give her some e'ghtecn or tweury of the eggs and let her set. AloDg the middle of Juno she will be off. I then put her and her young on an old barn floor, or other outbuilding that is dry and feed on curd and on cracked corn. Curd is the best for a continual feed when the farmer has plenty, but cracked corn or coarse meal, mixed with lobbered milk will answer just as well. After they have been in-doors for two or three days, or long enough to get fairly on their legs-for the tnrkey is the weakest of all fowls when yet young—l I let them out, providing the weather is fine and there is no dew on the grass. The great reason why people cannot or do not raise turkeys, is because they turn them out as soon as hatched, and about the first wetting they get they keel over and die. To succeed in raising turkeys, therefore, you must keep them dry until at Icnst ten weeks old, when they will stand as much water as any fowls, gees s and ducks expected. Of course they must be driven in every night, and on all occasions when a storm is threatening. The reader will at once perceive there is care in all this ; but when Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc., come to say nothing of the Sunday roasts during winter, cur care s lost in enjoyment, and we come to the conclusion that tur keys are worth raising. GRAFTING WAX. As the time is now approaching when fruit grafting will commence, and as we have been frequently ask ed of late for the manner of preparing grafting wax, notwithstanding the many times we have already given these receipts, though not exactly agreeing with later experience—we herewith publish what has been found by us to answer the purpose admirably:— Five parts of rosin ; One part of beeswax : One part of tallow. Melt these in a skillet, tin-cup. or any metal ves sel ; the skillet being preferable as it can be handled better, and the wax keeps warm longer in it. Melt these over the fire and mix together well. When the scions are set —say as many as twenty or thirty, or as few as is wished—have the mixture ready and apply it warm, with a small wooden pm'dle. See that ev ery part is covered and the air excluded. It require Oo bandage.— Germanlown Telegraph; • -•> — GRAPE VINES. When the d; mand for choice grape vines isgreater than can be su; plied by the ordinary modes of pro pagation, some nurserymen multiply them by cut tings of the greenwood. Ii is the experience of many of the best cultivators tnat vines propagated year after year in this way deteriorate and become less hardy. The Delaware is cited as having especial ly suffered from this mode of treatment. It seems very likely that continued propagation from unripe ehoots would produce weak plant'. We should not think of sowing from seed so immature that it is just Capable of germinating ; a feeble plant would be pro duced and though the circumstances arc not pre cisely the same with cuttings, there is no doubt tha - Strong well-riponed wood will give plants of greate r vigor than can be raised from green cuttings. — THE APPLE WORM. The moth from which this pest proceeds deposits e SS s ' n 'he blossom. Tho grub, when hatched penetrates to tho core, and feeds on the grow ing pulp When grown it eats its own way out, the fruit, meantime, ripening prematurely and falling The grub then leaves it ar.d ascends the trunk of the tree Ilere it makes its cocoon, generally under a scale o old bark, where it remains until laying time, and then comes out a moth, and lays its eggs in the blos some for a new generation. Now is the time to de stroy it. Scrape the scales of Lark from the trunk and lower limbs and wash with a weak solution of potash, a little strorgor one of soda, or better, one part of soft soap to thre eof water. Whale oil soap is good, if to be had, and is as cheap as a broom If you have nothing better put a bushel or two of ashes in a barrel of water-say two bushels. Let it stand twenty-four hours, and at sundown next day apply it plentifully, ashes and all, with a swab. This is a remedy always at hand, and is about as good as any other. It will take off the scaly bark, kill the mo there of the coming generation, and leave the trunk after a rain or two, as smooth and healthy a: a girl's face of sweet sixteen. FEED AXD CARE OF COLTS.—A writer in the Ger mantoten Telegraph gives the following directions on the subject : Wean.the colt at five or six months old first teaching him, while sucking the mare, to eat oats. When taken from tho dam confine the colt olosely and put them out of hearing for one week - During the first winter,.feed daily two quarts of oats, and all the hay the colt will eat. This, with good,' warm shelter, will keep him growing and improving' Don't turn out in spring till tho weather is settled ,nd warm, and in a fall bite of grass. The first year makes or ruins the eolt It is tho most important of his life. Keep him fat the first year, whatever you do afterwards, for this year decides whether he is to i be a full grown horse or a miserable pony-no after care can atona for neglect during the first twelve months. To MAKZ CHEAP-AXD GOOD VI.VEGAR— To eight gallons of clear rain water, add three quarts of mo lasses; turn tho mixture into a clear tight cask shake it well tw or three times, and add three spoons ful of good yeast, or two yeast cakes. Place the cwk in a warm place, and in ten or fifteen days, add a sheet of common writing japer, stnenrca with' mo lasses, and torn info narrow strips, and you will have the good vinegar.

A Shlnplaster Story* A sliinplaster story has been localised here, and applied to a popular dry goods doaler. The story may have been in print, perhaps, but a repetition will do no harm. As the story goes, a farmer pur chased few cents' worth of goods from this trade, and gave him a bill to make change from. The lat ter returned him eighty-five cents in his engraved promises to pay. genteely known as checks but vul garly known as shmplasters. " What's them 1" inquired the astonished coun tryman. " Oh," said the merchant, those are a sort of currency we dry goods dealers have," and went away to another customer. The countryman went off, not exactly satisfied ■ but soon after returned, and bought nearly a dollar's worth of goods. After receiving the neatly tied up package, and being told the price, ho deposited a number of pumpkin seeds on the counter. " What are those I" inquired the merchant. "Oh," replied the countryman, coolly, " them's a sort of currency, we farm ers have," and thereupon left the store. The story has it that tho dry goods dealer, who ap preciates good jokes, was so amused he did not call his unprofitable servant back.— Boston Bost. A SLIGHT MISUNDKRING. —"Oh, I love you like everything," said a young man to his sweetheart, warmly pressing her hand " Ditto," said she, verj gently returning the pressure. The ardent lover, not happening to be over learned, was sorely puzzled to understand the meaning of " ditto," but was ashamed to expose his ignorance by asking the girl. He went home ; and the next day, being at work in tho cabbage-yard with his father he spoke out— " Daddy, what's the meaning of ditto ?" " Why," said the old man, " this here is one cab bage-head ain't it V' " Yes, daddy." " Well, that ar's ditto." "Rot that ar'good-for nothing gal!" ejaculated the indigpant son, " she called me a cabbage-head, and I'll never go to see her again," and fortunately i for the girl he kept his word. A REFORMED drunkard, in the course of an ad dress, shocked his hearers by the following anti-cli max : "My friends, three months ago I signed the j pledge." (Clapping ofhands and loud cheers.) "In a month afterward, iny friends, I had a half eagle in ray pocket, a thing I never had before."— (Clapping and still louder eheers ) "In another month, my friends I had a good coat on my back, and I never hail the like before." j (Great applause and crie3 of "Go out.") " A fortnight after that, my lnends, I bought a i coflln." The audience were about to cheer again, but paused and waited for an explanation. " You wonder," he continued, •' why I bought a coffin. Well, my friends, 1 will tell you why. I bought the coffin beeause I felt pretty certain that if 1 kept the pledge another fortnight I should tfcanl one." To THE GIRLS. —An exchange in giving an ai [ vice to young ladies on the subject of matrimony : ; " Never marry a tellow who is ashamed to carry a ; small bundle; who lies in bed until breakfast, and until his father has opened his shop, store or office and swept it out; who frequents taverns, bowling saloons, prize fights, Ac; who owes his tailor, shoe maker, washer-woman, jeweler, barber, printer, and landlady, aud never pays his debts—who is always talking about his acquaintances, and condemning them ; whose tongue is always running about non sense. who thinks he is the greatest man in ihe neigh borhood, and yet who every one despises and shuns." t This is good advice girls; see that you don't over | look it. A writer beautifully remarks that a man's j mother is the representative of !•.is Maker. Misfor | tune and crime set no barrier between her and her j son. While his mother lives, a man has one friend jon earth who will not des rt hiin when he.is needy Hee affection flows from a pure fountain, and ceases only at the ocean of eternity. *•*.

A lady that was present declared that she knew of a rock of which he was ignorant. " Name it ! madam!" said Cyclops in a rage. '• It is rock the cradle," replied the lady. A "live Yankee" being awakened by the captain of a steamboat with tho announcement that he musn't occupy his berth with his boots on," re plied ; " Oh, the bugs won't hurt 'em much, I guess, they're an old pair—let 'em rip." | Somebody, describing the absurd appearance of a man dancing the polka, says,—"He looked as though ho had a hole in his pocket, and was trying to shake a shin-plaster down the leg ot his trow sers." *.*. Why are ladies the biggest thieves in exist - l ence 1 Ans. —Because they steel tho petticoats, bone the stays, and crib the babies. Yes, and hook the eyes, too. A Michigan soldier who was arrested for stealiug a rebel's goose, said he found the bird hiss ing at the American flag, and lie arrested it for trea son. — I3r Why fs the pupil of the eye like a bad boy as school?
