For its best beloved one

Hints That May Prove Of Benefit to

From Reliable Sources
ESSAY ON TURKEY CULTURE

The first requisite to successful turkey
growing is carefully selected stock fOr
parent birds. Selections OF the best, fol-
years, have produced the most improved
and profitable breeds of stock. The
future stock depends very much upon
the parent birds or their ancestry. Re-
peated breeding from inferior birds
makes inferiority hereditary.
After having faithfully tried the
White, the Wild Black and the NAM
moth Bronze turkeys / prefer the latter
for several reasons. They have proven
harder than the White, are equally
strong, more gentle and more easily
handled than the Black, less apt to roam
far away and with proper care are ready
for market at an earlier age than either
of the other varieties and believe are
less liable to disease. After complying
with the first condition and having Sc
cured large, strong parent turkeys, at
least one year old, see that they are in
the right condition for breeding.
BREEDING FOWLS
should not be oyer-fat, as the offspring
of such fowls are less vigorous. II the
hens are young, late Matched, they re-
quire more food at breeding time, as
they are still growing and immature.
If hens are old they should have millet
and clover, where it can be grown, and
less carbonaceous food in the latter part
of the season. Too much corn will pro-
duce over-fat turkeys unless they have
abundant exercise in insect hunting and
plenty of green food.
When the laying season begins, usu-
ally in March, watchful lookout for
the eggs must be kept. 1t is natural for
all turkeys to hide the nest, but petting
will do much toward keeping them near
the house. Each egg should be labeled
and placed small end down OH
cotton or some soft material and kept
in dry, cool, dark place. Ii not used
at once they should be turned OCCASION
ally to prevent settling or adheriEg to
the shell. AS the eggs are removed
daily from the nest it is better to return
a hens egg until there are five or six in
the nest, as turkey is suspicious and
easily discounted. My turkeys lay en-
tirely in the grove near the house and
arrange their nests with skill themselves,
my only task being to protect them from
natural wild enemies. The nest should
always be dry and large, and on the
ground if possible.
Fifteen eggs are sufficient for large
hen and ii small IS will give better re-
suits. Four weeks and often 80 days
are required TO hatch the eggs. This
makes long period of rest for active
Mrs. Turkey, yet she must be compell-
ed to do her work faithfully, consequent
y should have easy access to an abund-
ance OF food and pure water, that she
may not be forced to remain too long a
lime off the nest to procure food, thus
allowing the eggs to chill.

CARE OF THE YOUNG.

About the 9th day throw hard
boiled egg mashed very fine close to the
nest, not into, lest it adhere to an egg,
rendering the egg air-tight exactly over
the beak OF the young turkey, which
would prevent his escape from the shell.
The mother turkey may eat this egg and
the one given the following day or two
ii it is not needed for her young, but in
case she is Matching she will use it for
the little ones and this food will often
save the first Matched birds. have had
the mother turkey refuse to leave the
nest for three days after the first eggs
Matched. II she leaves too soon the re-
naming eggs may be placed under hens
or Matched by wrapping in wool and
keeping warm near the fire. Should an
egg become broken in the nest the soiled
eggs should be carefully washed imme-
diately in warm but not hot water dried
and returned at once to the nest. The
trying time in turkeys life is the first
week when they require constant watch
ing, then great care until they are eight
weeks old or until the quill feathers are
well started. The producing of these
feathers seem to weaken the fowl, and
exhausts the system and therefore they
need especial treatment to counteract
this difficulty.
For the first week the mother and
Young must have warm place, free
from drafts OF air, free from dampness
and where they will be undisturbed by
other fowls.
THE FIRST THREE WEEKS
the food should consist of sweet milk
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1894-08-16
THE FIRST THREE WEEKS

the food should consist of sweet milk
fresh from the COW is best, very hard
boiled eggs and fine wheat, bread crumbs
for the little ones, wheat, corn and fresh
water for the mother.
Feed the mother first and she will not
take much of the egg and bread, whic,,
is more expensive. During this time if
the weather be warm and sunshiny let
the mother out during the middle of the
day, keeping her near the coop, taking
care to shut her in before sunset, as.tbe
dew is harmful to the young turks.
During the first week the little enes are
apt to get onto their backs, from which
position they cannot rise and..wll die if
allowed to thus lie for any length OF
Time. Care must be taken not to place
the pens near the hills OF the small red
or iblack ants, as these are enemies to
young turkeys.
Ihey not only attack the head and
XIII the turkey, but ii eaten will almost
instantly choke them to de ath. At
THE FOURTH WEEK
the food may consist of oatmeal. sour
milk curd in small quantities, cracked
wheat and scraps from the table, taking
care that the scraps contain nothing salt.
Salt, salt meat, brine or salt fish will
kill them. After the eighth week give
mother and brood their freedom. Feed
