early and dislikes being disturbed after
settling down for the night, be sure
and coop them before the sun sets.
The young turkeys will eat but little
the first week Feed separate from the
mother, for she will devour all the
food within reach. For downright
greediness, an old turkey hen has few
equals. Dry bread soaked in sweet
milk is one of the best foods for the
young, as is curd from fresh butter
milk. A whole flock has been raised
on warm curd. A custard made of one
egg to pint of milk, thickened with
bread tho sugar., is q good food. When
about two months old, feed whole
wheat part of the time and mix corn
meal with their feed; this should not
be fed exclusively. Allow plenty of
liberty, as confinement will kill young
turkeys. When the mother hen be-
gins tramping wildly from one side of
the coop to the other, better let her
out unless the weather Is unfavorable
When about the size of cartridges
and old enough to follow the mother
in long rambles, the young will need
but little attention, simply little feed

prefer bugs, grasshoppers, insects and
seeds to a more civilized ration. Do
not neglect to bring them home at

themselves. Turkeys do not always
select wisely the best resting place for
the night, hence vermin sometimes at
tack and annoy them. Teach them to
come at the sound of your voice; it will
save many weary tramp in searching
woods and fields.
Six weeks time is sufficient to fatten
for market. Feed twice a day all the
whole corn they will eat, but do not
attempt confinement, as turkey
chafes under restraint and will lose
flesh rather than fatten. They will
not take more exercise than is neces-

Hens afford a profit from eggs and
flesh, and yet they excel, according to
the breed used, in either direction. He
who wishes to make eggs speciality
should pay but very little attention to
the market qualities of the breed,
while those who wish to raise the best
birds for the market should make eggs
a secondary matter. 1t should be the
aim to secure both, if possible, but nc
breed combines in itself all the re-
quirements for eggs and flesh. If we
secure a breed that comes up to such a
standard it may be lacking in some
other direction, perhaps tender when
young and not hardy. Always, how

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPEBS.

By using an extractor old combs may
be saved and utilized.
EVERY bit of wax and old combs
should be carefully saved.
THE queen must be prolific in order
to keep the hive full of bees.
BEES bred in new comb are gener.
ally much larger than those reared In
old.
In order to obtain the best results 1t
is essential to have the best grade of
bees.
CLOVER and buckwheat are among
the best honey producing crops that
can be grown.
The safest plan of securing a good
crop of honey is to provide good pas
turage for the bees.
IT is more profitable to melt up dirty
combs or throw with dead brood and
use, instead, good foundation. When
ever there is any doubt about the comb
discard 1t and use foundation.
AS SOON as spring flowers bloom there
should be no natural swarming. In
fact, the bees should not be allowed to
swarm. Sometimes, however, the
swarming fever seems to affect the
whole colony, less than a pint of bees

Among the many substances that
are the best for inducing egg produc-
ton may be mentioned blood from
slaughter houses. In the winter sea-
son it can be kept for quite awhile,
and may be fed by mixing it with equal
parts of corn meal and bran to a stiff
mess. The reports that have come
from those who have used it are large
" in it's favor. In the meantime,

If those who keep poultry would feed
less grain and take time to procure
such materials as could be had at
small cost from the slaughter houses,
the expense of maintaining the hens
would be much less than when large
rations of grain are used, and the sup
ply of eggs would be more than
doubled. It is the sameness of diet
the one kind of food from day to day
that throws the hens out of condition
for laying, and entails loss where
one could just as easily secure pront

provide variety of food in order to af-

their best.

The steady improvement in the grade
of poultry kept by farmers has resulted
in the increased size of eggs. This diff
ference is so marked that the eggs pro.
dueed in the north always command in

Farming That Does Not Pay.

We recently came across a farmer.
cultivating $50 acres of good land,
working hard and trying to live eco
nomically, who said that he would not
make his expenses this year. He had
some cows which he kept only for beef
breeding purposes, buying his milk and
butter from neighbor. The day we
were at his place his wife was anxious
to serve nice dinner, SO she sent into
town to purchase some green vegeta-
bles, there being no room for a garden
on the farm. When we saw these
things we had no doubt of the truth of
his statement. Can any man make

One of the reasons not usually given
for the selling off of the sheep by a
large number of farmers last year is
that drought lessened the supply of
pasturage. Sheep will pay profit to
any farmer who will produce early
lambs and fat wethers. Wool is only a
product of the sheep and farmers who
overlook the large mutton breeds in
order to keep sheep for wool only are
depriving themselves of two sources of
profit for only one. In England sheep
are made to pay on high priced land,
and it can be done just as easily in this
