furnishes the names of string of

YOUNG TURKEYS.
Hints on Their Care by an Experienced
Woman.


Woman.
Mrs. e. r. Wood Of Genesee county,
Mich, writing in The Country Gentle
man. says there is more profit in raising
turkeys than in almost any other branch
of poultry keeping. The young are,
however exceedingly delicate, and oou-
siderable knowledge of their needs is
necessary in order to be successful in
carrying them through the first few
weeks of their existence Once safely
past this period they are extremely
hardy, disease rarely attacking them
after the red spots begin to appear upon
their heads.
The best way to manage in order to
get the most eggs from the turkey hens
is to gather the eggs carefully every day
from the nests when they begin laying,
and this for two reasons-the eggs are
apt to become chilled by exposure to
the cold air of early spring nights and
secondly the hen will continue to lay
longer than she otherwise would if they
are removed. The first clutch of eggs
should he given to common hens to
hatch, and the turkey will after few
days begin to lay again. These eggs
abe should be allowed to sit upon.
Four weeks will be required to hatch
out the little poults, and as fast as they
break the shells they should be removed
(after they get dry from the nest to a
basket by the kitchen fire during the
day, returning them to the nest at
night When all are out, remove the
hen and dust her feathers thoroughly
with pyrethrum, holding her by the
feet, head down, during the process, to
insure the powders reaching the body.
This busting should have been done
once or twice during the period of in
cubation to make sure the hen is not
troubled with lice
The little turkeys should also be at.

lice upon the hen they attack the young

Guilty. Grease effeotually disposes OF
them, however, and for this purpose
pure lard is best. Beware of sulphur,
kerosene oil or similar agents of de.
struction, for they will not only do eff.
fective work on the insects, but on the
tender fledgeling as well. A neighbor
tried the kerosene treatment TO destroy
lice upon her turkeys after they were
several weeks old. and every one OF
them died, but of course the lice died
also. Rub the lard thoroughly over the
heads and necks, then put them with
the mother hen. Frequent examinations
should be made to make sure there are
no insects upon them. Nothing SO
quickly saps the life of young turkey
as lice, and no young of the poultry
kind with which am familiar is SC
susceptible to their attacks. Nine times
out of ten if little turkey is dropping,
wings hanging down and eyes closed,
the trouble is caused by the presence OF
these mites and only prompt treatment
will save it. The quill feathers of the
wings at the point where they emerge

Women as Poultry Ralser..

Women, as a rule, are among our
most successful poultry raisers. This is
from the fact that they are by nature
born mothers and possessed of the need
full qualities that enable them to give
the careful, patient attention to detail
which is the key to success in this bust
ness. There are great number of wom-
Ell that make very respectable living
at poultry raising. There are many dis
contented, fretful girls among our farm
ers' daughters made so, generally, from
a longing for amusement and pin
money. To such we would like to name
poultry raising as pursuit that will
afford an infinite amount of healthy.
harmless amusement and quite good
sum of pin money, so desired by the
ambitious farmers daughter, Try it
and you will no longer have desire for
the city life, with its hollow emptiness,
