FARM AND GARDEN.
NESTS FOR TURKEYS.
All the Hens Want Is Place That Look
Somewhat Secluded.

All the Hens Want Is a Place That Look,
Somewhat Secluded.
If turkeys are kept at all they should
be kept properly. Instead, however,
they frequently get no attention worthy
the name. y writer in the American
Poultry Advocate calls attention to one
serious neglect. He says that much
time is annually lost and not a few good
turkey eggs by the hens making their
nests in far away isolated places, where
they are not readily found, except by
the willy crow, skunk OF other sharp
eyed marauders. And this loss is all
the more ineXcusable as it can readily
be avoided by little ingenuity and
Judgment on the owners part. He
claims to know breeder of quite
strain of Bronze turkeyswho seldomg got
more than half the eggs laid by his ten
or twelve Bronze hens. There was a
large wood near his house into which
his hens regularly each spring plunged
and sought for nests. He complained Of
his loss from crows and other vermin
and when told how easily it could be
prevented, he expressed surprise, and
was willing to make the attempt to save
more of his turkeys nests. According
to our instructions he placed some
rough piles of brush about the corners
of the fence near the house and barn,
and in the ArShard. ne aiso1aid some
empty barrels about. in out-of-the-way
places, putting straw and leaves in
them, and some brush on and about
them. This was done in February and
again in April, all his hens were laying
and all the nests were inside his own
ground. The work of finding the nests
was reduced about three fourths and all
the eggs saved.
All the hens want is place that looks
somewhat secluded. They do not care
for a far-away nest especially, but like
place that gives some promise of not
being prominent public curiosity. If
loose pile of brush is thrown in any
out-of-the-way place, say behind
clump of shrubbery and near fence, in
n corner of the fence, barrel covered up
with brush, one end only visible slight
ly, a few boards leaned against the
fence and covered with rubbish, etc,
will any or all make a desirable place
for madame turkey to deposit her eggs.
1t is best to not disturb the nest too
much when once the hen has begun
laying. Let her have her eggs. If the
nest has a proper quantity of straw or
leaves in it the hen will keep the eggs
covered sufficiently to keep them from
freezing. Some hens will not mind
having eggs taken out of their nests,
but others will soon look for some more
secluded place, the chances being in
favor of being placed away out in some
field or along the hill or mountain deep
in the wood. Of course if the hens get
broody before they are wanted to set,
the eggs must be taken out of the nest
and the hens broken up for the time be-
ing.

indigestion In Poultry.

Indigestion is one of the commonest
troubles of fowls and one of the most
easily prevented. Grit takes the place
of teeth with fowls. 1t requires to be
sharp in order to grind up the food
and prepare it for digestion. Yet how
often is the supply deficient? Crushed
oyster shells or sharp gravel should be
accessible to the hens. Acidity of the
stomach is the result of indigestion.
1t may be corrected by. mixing very
finely pulyerized charcoal with the
food or by keeping supply
of broken charcoal in the neigh
borhood of the fowls. One of the best
methods of giving it is to char couple
of corncobs once week in the oven and
then let the fowls have them to peck at.
The feeding of charcoal is excellent at
all stages of the hens existence, but 10
particularly desirable when the fatten.
ing process is going on.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Fast Work and Fast Eating Make Three
Score Years and Ten Ripe Old
Age These Days.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The American people live too fast, eat toe
fast and drink too fast. This has brought
upon many of us a train of nervous and
stomach orders that are very difficult tc
manage. Investigation and chemical anal
ysis to discover such compounds as will
help those suffering from such ills has re-
suited in the discovery of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken
very high rank as specific remedy.
H. P. Owens a travelling man thirty
years of age, who is well-known in tbia
community and generally liked because he
is bright energetic young fellow, resides
with his mother at 335 Central Avenue.
Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been victim o.
dyspepsia which took the form of continu,
Gus constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the same trouble.
Mr. Owens testified to the merits of Pink
Pills, in most enthusiastic way, and said
to the Enquirer reporter:
II am glad to say anything can for DIR.

great good and other people ought to

when | felt heavy feeling in my stomach
and grew very constipated did not con-

When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered:
THAT is right found that it was great
medicine, so easy TO take and so quick and
lasting in its results
Mr.. Owens continued: ~ believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness.

He will go on the road in a few days for a

is quite as enthusiastic as her son about the
Pink Pills and her host of lady friends can
verify her good opinion of this wonderful
remedy if they feel disposed to do so at any
lime. Where the testimonyis so general and
unanimous as to the eXcellencies of Pink
Pills as the Enquirer has found it to be

the good things said-about the safe and
simple remedy.
