Tho collar must fit snug, not too tight,

RAISING YOUNG TURKEYS.

In raising young turkeys, the main
point is to keep them dry and to guard
against lice. Tho mites arof not the
only ones that attack them, but the
large head lice destroy many; lice
pass from the mother to the young.
When the young turkeys arc Matched,
dust both the hen and the young
turkeys with fresh insect powder and
rub drop of sweet oil on. tho heads;
do this once week. Feed the young
turkeys every two hours; they do not
cnt much, but cat often. Keep n small
box of ground bono where they can
get it, and some wntef in vessels in
which the young turkeys cannot get
wet, for tho lcnst dampness will be
fatal. If they droop, look for lice, rs
nearly one,hnlf of the young turkeys
die from that cause; search closely ON
tho skin OF the heads and necks. BE
careful. MS too much grease of any
kind is injurious. Tho coops and runs
must also he clean. They must not
be fed until thirty-six hours old, then
give cur,ls and stale bread, tho bread
first being dipped in fresh milk.
Rolled oats mny be kept i'll n box for
them, and finely chopped hnrd-boiled
eggs may also bo given. An egg,
broken, aud added TO gill of fresh
warmed milk is excellent; .thicken it
with brend. Chopped onions may
also DO added TO the mixture. The
turkeys may be given anything that
they will eat, but thcya very dainty,
and will not accept all kinds of food.
Cracked corn and wheat may be kept
before them. Until they ''shoot tho
red, which will be when they arc ten
or twelve weeks old, they will he
tender, but after that time they will
be hardy and then may be allowed to
forage for themselves. The good care
at first, i'll keeping them dry and free
of lice, will bring the loss down to
minimum. 1t may he tedious work,
but nothing pays better than good
crop OF turkeys. Mirror and Farmer.
