From time to time we have been Save the Fruit, season haa brought to the South tho most abundant fruit crop we have had for years. Shall it be wasted or profitably saved? Fruit cannot be made a substitute for stronger diet as is found in the usual food of our families, but it can be largely and helpfully used as a partial substitute to great advantage.

Al>out Raising Turkeys. lu tipi,Cultivator, page 203. “Young Farmer’s Wife" .wishes some one to give a plan for raising turkeys. If several turkey hens lay about the Same time, set one, giving her about twenty eggs or if large enough give her twenty-foyr. Hyt the balanco of the eggs u nder ojjiek.ep by ns and when hatched give all the young ones jto the turkey moihef. Keep the fur- key s in the garden, until about two or three weeks old, in a eoyered pen, and shut them up at night and keep them there until the dew is off in the morn.- ing. It is very necessary to keep the young ones f^om getting wet, either in dew or rain, even after they are be ginning to feather; it is the best to get them under,cover during a rain. I wish to emphasize this, us f think it very important. Destroy all the vermin oh iji® mother, or the young will soon look sleepy, dwindle and die. There are two kinds,of Jieethat trouble turkeys: one is long and black, found usually on tho wing ayd tail feathers; the other is somewhat like a bed bug. If the mother M thoroughly washed w ith warm water ami carbolic soap on a ■bright summer morning.sbe will be re I loved and the lie*; destroyed. Kerosene will kill the lice gnd the turkeys too. Turkeys don’t eat much the first few days after they are hatched, I never feed with raw dough; baked bread, made of unsifted com meal, crumbled fine and moistened with clubber or butter milk, is the best ft tod you can give. Cut up collard leaves very fine and drop to (ho little ones; don’t cut many at a time until they learn to eat them. They liko everything fresh; feed often and just a little until ley learn to eat, thou three times a . Wisdom Beneath Feathers. During the ravages of the chicken cholera an Albany family lost all the chickens they had (fifteen or twenty,) with one single exception. This ex ception was an ugly, forlorn-looking little thing, only a few weeks old, that was left to scratch for itself, and pick up such crumbs as might fall in its way, receiving no care or thought from anybody. It didn’t droop around though, and wait fora worm to “turu- Up.” but just went to work and setup housekeeping on its own account. A few weeks after this “our heroine” was just feathered and about the size of a partridge. A stray hen came i nto the yard with a brood of chickens that had evidently just got into the world, Cholera gets In its work sure and quick, and in a few hours the vis itors, except two of the little ones were dead. It was then “our heroine” shown out in her true colors. Khe adopted the little orphans at once, and worked for^them as she had work ed for herself. She scratches for them day by day and hovers them at night—one undereach wine. If one of them h* missing she shows the utmost anxiety till it turns up, and acts in every way as if she was their real mother. And her children seem to know no dillereuce, but deport them selves us obedient and affectionate children should. She never learned to “cluck,” but makes a noise that answers fqr a call. She is of the com mon breed, a very rough diamond, showing that appearance is often de ceitful. The State. Governor, Huuu S. Thomuso*,*.
