THE BOY AND THE BROOK. c Armenian Popular Song, from the Prote Vertion ] of Alithan. { - - - BY LOSGFILLOW. Down from yon distant mountain height, The brooklet flows thro' the village street: ' A boy comes to wash his hands, * Washing, yes washing, there he stands, * V,v''- In the water cool and sweet. 1 "Brook, from what mountain dost thou come ? '.i q my. COol and sweet!" come from yon mountain high and cold, ( Where lieth the new snow on the old, . | . And melts in the Summer heat." y . .."Brook, to what river dost thou go ? ; , ( O my brooklet cool and sweet!" "I go to the riVer there below Where in buncheB the violets irrow. And Bun and shadow meet." 1 ' * i'Brook, to what garden dost thou go ? . ?6 my brooklet cool and sweet!" "I go to that garden in the vale Where all night long the nigtingale Her love-song doth repeat." "Brook, to what fountain dost thou go ? . 0 my brooklet cool and sweet!" "I go to that fountain at whose brink The maid that loves thee cornet to drink, And whenever she looks therein, I rise to meet her and kiss her chin, And my joy is then complete," Management of Manures and Grass Lands. Owing to the dry weather in this valley last fall, and in many or,ber parts of the State, the wheat, though sown in good season, made but a very moderate start before ?oold weather; and to this circumstance chiefly we are to attribute the fact that the yield has been-less than a full crop. Good farmers generally sow grass seed with their wheat in the fall, and add the clover seeds in the spring. The dry fall was followed by a still , more remarkably dry spring, and as a con" .sequence, we have now on our wheat stubbles, less, than half the grass and clover that ought to be there. What shall we do ? Many farmers will say?"let it go as it is." But this would" be the worst possible economy. Better plow and sOw another crop of wheat, though we lose all the seeds sown last fall and spring. Nothing in our business is more important than a good, thick stand of grass. The meadows should always be made to produce two tons of hay to the acre, and pastures should never be allowed to get "thin." T in fond in a wnolra if f Vin nroaf Vin*. ia not too dry, to sow ihy wheat stubbles over ; again, and barrow the seeds in. Grass seed ( should always be harrowed in or brushed, when it is practicable to do so. There is usually great loss in allowing the seeds to remain on the surface, unlesp the ground is in a very mellow condition. Should there be moisture enough to make the sowing safe as early as the first to the middle of August, I will sow the clover and liiuo&y iogothor,hut if it should not be so, I will sow the timothy in September, and clover on the snow, in the spring. After a good deal of experience and observation, I am satisfied that our chief reliance must be clover and timothy for scediogjjastures and meadows, lllue grass is of great valuedthe best we have for permanent pasture, but in this valley it works in of itself, if the ground is in proper condition, as it docs indeed, on most of the good lands all over thpjStato. r It does not do well in a very stiff, undrained clay, nor on a light sandy soil. It flourishes best on a loam, (by which I mean clav, with an intermixture of sand,) resting upon a limestone rock. This wee ins to be^aracter qf the soil in the far-famed blue *graas regions of Kentucky, with oxide of iron, which gives it a dark red appearance. A good deal is said in the papers about manuring grass lands, a practice that I am greatly in 4avor of, as being as profitable a . method as we can adopt, and disposing of our barnyard manure. I would certainly f apn^r it, all, either to the grass or oorn land, TOi<fiperhap8 with land requiring rotation of crops, better results are obtained by giving the manure to the grass, thus insuring a JlMtttStiffsod to plow under for the corn, -fci'' Which'is more valuable on account of its mechanical effect in loosening a clay soil for a corn crop, than the direct application of . barnyard manure. At what time should the manure be applied ? A statement has been going the rounds of the papers, in favor of making the application to meadows, immediately after mowing. In England,-this is a common practice. With us there are two objections to it, first, that we usually have not only very hot, but very dry weather in August'and the first half of September, which must certainly cause the evaporation of much of the fertilizing matter from the manure thus spread upon the surface. And, because our summers are so hot and dry, it - >'i8 not profitable to keep manure on hand until after harvest, to be thus applied. But "in England the case is entirely different?their summers are cool and moist, and. their meadows, aftef harvest, are usually coate&with luxuriant " aftermath," as fresh and green as our first crop of spring grass. I conclude, therefore, that we have no way for it but to apply the manure to our ' grass lands in the fall, if we have been so unwise as to keep any over through the summer. But a better and a cheaper way, is to apply as wo make through the winter. Haul j 'out and spread as evenly as possible as you unload ft. There is no sense in throwing it off" in heaps. By spreading from the load, there is not only a saving of time, but the benefit to the land will be greater and more c evenly distributed. Nor is there any loss 2 sustained by leaving it spread upon the sur- * face in the winter. "" I hayo frequently tried this method, not if. >nly upon grass, but upon wheat, and have seen surprised at its success in every instance; even long, green manure, Bpread out jn wheat in winter, has always increased the jrop.?T. C. ^TonES, Delaware, Ohio, in Ohio Farmer. . How to raise Turkies Profitably. Having within the last twelve years seen many persons attempt to raise turkies, and either wholly or in part fail, I am induced to give my modus operandi, which if followed, is -certain of success, and will return a profit of over 0200 from a very small outlay; and not as I have seen a person do, start in the spring with five turkies and conie out in the fall with three. Around the barn and outbuildings place empty barrels or old hen coops, in which make good nests. They will commence to lay about the first of March and will lay from fifteen to eighteen eggs, and then will want to set. Now pen np o fnw rlava nnrl tVinn Iaayt/* ah? nn/1 ivi ? *vn mwjt; wuvk i/uvii ignro vuvj auu they will again commence to lay, and thus you will get not less.than thirty eggs from each hen, or one hundred and fifty from five. Keep the eggs in a cool and dry place.? When your hens want set a socond time give each hen eighteen eggs, and at the same time give to a chicken hen twelve eggs, and when these hatch give all the young ones to the turkey hen; never suffer a chicken hen to have any young turkies. A good turkey hen can easily rear thirty young ones with proper assistance. Now comes the secret?how to raise the turkies after they are hatched. Take the hen and her young out in a field where the grass is rather thin, and there leave her; feed for several days with bread, moistened with water, afterwards com meal and bran in equal parts. While yodng, turkies must be fed early in the morning, for very early the mother will move about hi search of food, and the young running through the .wet grass will bcconie' wet and cold, and perhaps perish: but if fed about sunrise, the hen will cover them until the grass is dry, and no danger of losing them; be punctual in the times of feeding, and soon you will find the turkies at the accustomed place awaiting your arrival; twice a day, in the morning and evening, is jften enough txf feed. . Never pen up the turkey hen and her young at first for a fow rlawm 1 tt la t*?V? of ma uinjO) iv* *?wvivj ko. nuuv mujr nuiit uiu IIJUment they are out of the shell. Give thcin liberty and plenty to eat, and rest assured of success. Oftentimes when several hens are placed in a field, they soon go together and make common property of their young. After grasshoppers become plentiful, they need be fed but once a day and that is. best in the evening, so that you may teach them to como home at night. Turkics treated in this manner, and well fit for the Christmas markets, and frequently many of the hens will do very well to kill at thanksgiving, though it generally pays better to keep them until Christmas. Now from the one hundred and fifty eggs with which we started, I affirm, if the directions here laid down are followed, by Christ mus, you will have one hundred marketable turkics. No estimates are made for losses by minks. If absolute thirst be experienced while eating a few sips of cold water held in the mouth, and slowly swallowed, with no food in the mouth, is sometimes allowable. The remedy for thirst when eating, singular as it may. appear, is to eat the driest kind of food, and masticate it slowly and thoroughly.
