Raising Young Turkeys.

May is the best month in the year
for young turkeys, and if they can be
given close attention until they are
three months old they will be able to
take care of themselves. The food
should be given four times a day, but
not more than they will eat up clean,
and may consist of milk curds, finely
chopped onions Including the tops)
hard boiled eggs, bread dipped in
fresh milk and finely chopped grass
An excellent mixture is a raw egg
beaten with rolled oats that have
been crumbled fine by rubbing with
the hands. Bear in mind that any
food left over to become sour is SO
much poison to them, hence the coop
should be moved to a fresh location
every day. They may be allowed to
run on lawn after the sun has dried
off the moisture, the lawn to be kept
close with a lawn mower. Dampness
is nearly always fatal to them and

night before sunset The drinking
water should be given SO they can
reach it with their beaks only. Be-
fore the eggs hatch rub melted lard
on the head and neck of the hen, close
to the skin, and dust her we'll with
insect powder. Rub two drops of
lard Oh the head of each chick once
week. These precautions are to guard
against ice.-Ex.

Should Nests be Damp?

Much has been written on the eff
fects of moisture in Matching and OF
the advantages of having the nests on
the damp ground. 1t cannot be ex-
planned, however, why the hen on the
top of a dry haymow matches out just
as many chicks as the one on the
ground. The fact is that the hen
never seeks a damp nest. What she
aims to secure is a cool nest in sum-
warm nest in summer will be unbear-
able if the eggs contain chicks, the
animal heat of the chicks in the eggs
increasing the temperature above the
degree required for hatching.-Ex.

Scaly Legs.

Scaly legs is a form of scabbies or
mango due to a mite known as the
sarcoptes mutans, which burrows I'M
der the skin, beginning between the
toes by a gradual elevation of the
epidermic scales, owing to the forma-
ton of white powdery substance be-
meath them. The disease extends up
the leg, the scales are detached and
the joints become affected. The first
prevention is to at once treat the first
signs of the trouble appearing, and to
at once separate afflicted fowls from
the rest of the flock. One scaly legged
bird roosting with a flock free from
the disease will soon spread the dis
ease among them. 1t can be effectual
ly cured by first washing the legs and
toes with CASTLE soap and warm wa
ter. If a soft brush is used it will be
all the better. After the leg and toes
are dry from the washing, anoint
with an anointment made with equal
parts of melted lard and kerosene.
Repeat the treatment daily until the
legs are perfectly clean. Some poul
try writer's recommend putting the
feet in kerosene oil. We consider that
not only a grievious mistake, but GER
tainly painful operation. By COM
bining the kerosene with lard it is
more cooling and healing. While
treating the scales do not try to pull
any off. BY so doing you will start
them to bleed and cause soreness.

small fiocks and there must be some
to understand when all the facts con-
nected with the keeping of poultry in
large or small fiocks are considered.
The small flock receives a greater
variety of food, including the scraps
from the table, and the individual
hens are known to every member of
the family. Should one of the hens
droop it is at once noticed, and the
increase of falling off of the daily re-
turns of eggs is easily apparent to the
members of the family, as perhaps
each hen has a name and is a pet.
Should one of the hens be injured, or
is not in the best of condition, she is
taken into the house and as carefully
attended to as though she was a very
valuable creature, and the quarters
are ample and clean. All of these de-
tails, which are not considered dis
agreeable, may be classed under the
one heading which points to an es-
sential portion of the management,
and which may be termed--personal
observation. That one word, ''obser-
vation," expresses much, as it is inl-
portant to know every fowl, if posi-
BILE, and thus fully understand what
may be required for one and all.
When large numbers can be given the
same care and close observation that
is bestowed upon the small flock the
problem of success with large num-
bers will be solved, but when several
hundred hens are kept there are other
conditions which do not exist with
small focks. The scraps from the Ia
BILE become an insignificant item in
the food the labor must be done by
some one who can devote full time
to the fowls, the number of sick
fowls will be larger, thus preventing
careful attention under such circum-
stances, and the individuality of the
hens is lost in the whole. Large
flocks may be divided into smaller
ones but even then there will be diff
ference between a number of fOcks
and single flock of pets which come
under the observation of every mem
Der of the family.-Mirror and

Is there difference in hens or
pullets' eggs for Matching, or is it a
matter of fancy?
If we consider them separately,
what shall we find? Pullets begin to
lay first, naturally, and if we should
use their eggs in October or Novem-
Der, the chances are they would not
produce as strong chicks as we desire.
Take for instance the S. G.. w. Leg
horns Theirs are the ideal Matching
eggs, especially for an incubator The
shells being thinner than the dark
egg strains, the chicks free them
selves quicker and hence seem, at the
start, much more lively. But, as a
rule, eggs from this breed are not
used so early, hence the early pullets'
eggs are not apt to be set. At the reg
ular Matching season for this breed,
which is from April 1st to 18th, the
pullets would then be eleven months
old and in full lay, meaning from ten
to twelve eggs per day from about
twenty head. If their eggs are then
not strong enough to produce first
class chicks, it is our opinion they
never will be, for the birds are fully
matured and are in the pink of condi-
ton in all their qualities. If we take
the heavier feathered breeds, like the
Plymouth Rocks, we find their pullets
fully as matured at the regular hatch
ing season as White Leghorns, as they
are Matched earlier and grow slower.
Therefore it all hinges on when we
want to set pullets' eggs, whether
they are strong or not. If for early
broilers, we should prefer decidedly
hens eggs, as we feel quite sure Of
their maturity, but if for Matching
chickens in the regular spring sea-
son we cannot see any particle Of diff
ference. A correct mating, however,
would very materially increase our
chances for strong, healthy chicks-a
one-year-old vigorous cock for pullets,
and a well-matured, lively cockerel
for one-year-old hens.
AS to the belief of some breeders
that two and three-year old hens
hatch the strongest chickens, we
think it rather stretching the point.
There is but little profit in keeping
hens after they have passed through
their hen year. The White or Brown
Leghorns frequently continue to lay
we'll when two or three years old, but
it is an exception and not the rule,
Females of all the heavy breeds de-
teriorate materially after their hen
year. Of course ,-lere is occasionally
an exceptional hen, but we never find
her in large focks for the reason that
breeders of large fOcks have no time
to study each old hens peculiarities-
this is left almost entirely to the
backyard fancier.
In all such experiments it becomes
a matter of care and feed. Pullets
badly cared for and indifferently fed
will not mature as they should, and
hence their eggs will not be fit to pro-
duce chicks of any kind. Hens allow
ed to sit around and grow fat will
develop into useless ornaments, and
their offspring will not be strong
