FEED For YOUNG TURKEYs.-A correspon-
dent thinks that corn meal is not proper arti-
Gle of food for young turkeys The writer
says:-'Y oung turkeys should never be fed
on Indian meal until at least two months old.
They are very delicate when first Matched, and
Indian meal they seem unable to digest. 1t is
too stimulating, and too heating for them. The
loss of them is due in a considerable degree to
their being fed with other poultry, mainly on
this article Of food. This is the result Of our
experience, and we should like to know if it
has been noticed by other breeders. 1t is a
very important question, and we hope the ex-
pertinent will be tried by others SO that our
theory may be either confirmed or refutcd.-
The main food upon which We depend is curd. :"
