such protection during rainy weather,

-, Somewhat Secluded. .
If turkeys ARE kept at all they should
be kept properly. Instead, however,
they frequently getno attention worthy
the name. A writer in the Amerlean
Poultry Advocate calls attention to one
serious neglect. He says that; much
time is annually lost and not Il fewgood
turkey eggs by the hens making tlfir
nests in fur away isolated places, where
they are not readily found, cxceptSby
the willy crow, skunk or other sharp
eyed marauders. And this loss iasall
the more inexcusable as it can readily
be avoided by a little ingenuity and
Judgment on the owners part. He
claims to know. q breeder of q4itz.f
strain of Bronze turkeyswho seldomEot
more than half the eggs laid by his ten
or twelve Bronze hens. Thereswas 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 Sernin
and when told how easily it could he
prevented, he expressed surprise, and
was willing tolnake 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 inethe orchard. He also laid 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 Februaryan
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 andall
the eggs saved. - DE-:
All the hens want is place that looks
somewhat secluded. They do not care
for PARKWAY nest especially, but like
place that gives some promise Of not
being prominent public curiosity If
a loose pile of brush is thrown in any
out-of-the-way place, say behind a
clump of shrubbery and near fence, in
corner of the fence, a barrel coyeretlup
with brush, one end only visible slight
ly, few boards leaned against the
fence and covered with rubbish, etc,
will any or all make 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. II, the
nest has. a properquantity of straw or
leaves in it the hen will keep the eggs
covered sufficiently to keep them from
freezing. Son.,' 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 hensget

the eggs must be taken out of the nest

FATTENING HOGS COSTS ONE CEN

FATTENING HOGS COSTS ONE CENT.
The editor recently heard of q farmer
fattening hogs at less than one cent a
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 bu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn, yielding 200 bu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetcl,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas, etc. Now,
with such yields, the growing of hogs is
more profitable than silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things for the farmer, gardener and cit
.izen, and the editor believes that it
would pay everybody hundred-fold to
