Breeding Turkeys.

The best results in growing turkeys
are from yearling hens bred to n
gobbler two years old, and three
would be still better. The young hen
will lay more eggs the first year than
she will in any year after, and if she
mates with a gobbler two years or
over the young turks will be active
and vigorous. Watch the hen turkey
carefully, and remove her first eggs as
soon as laid, lest they become chilled,
Two and sometimes three settings of
turkey eggs must be taken from the
young turkeys and set under common
hens before the hen turkey will sit
steadily herself The hen turkey
must be confined mornings when she
has young chicks. OF she will draggle
them through the wet grass, and thus
kill them.

Tt is quite rare with young sows, or
those that have not been properly fed,
to have one or more pigs smaller than
the rest, aud which are commonly
called "runts." Such pigs should
generally be killed as soon as born.
They will eat as much rs u pig that
will be much thriftier. and at nine or
ten months old Will weigh fortyto fifty
pounds more Thus keeping tho pig
longer only makes the loss on it the
greater. 1t is much better, however.
to prevent rUnt pigs than to be at the
trouble of killing them. Give the SOW
bearing pigs Il plentiful feeding each
day of fine wheat middlings aud skim
milk, and even though she be young
she will not he likely to cast runts.
When the SOW becomes old and has
attained her growth, she does not need
the bone and muscle forming material
for herself, aud, therefore, most OF it
goes to the pigs she is carrying. 1t is
not good to give breeding sows corn
or corn meal. Often when thus fed
the SOW will herself fatten, while her
pigs will he alt runts. 4 breeding
SOW should be kept from growing fat,
But she can he literally fed With the

Thc Emect of Inhrcc.Iinr.

Among the sheep the direct loss
from close iubreeiing is tho most APP
parent. The degeneration OF n flock
Is so rapid that you can almost see it
from one generation to another. 1t
naturally follows that the need of
thoroughbred rams from other flocks
TO add new blood 10 the sheep is
greater in flocks that have been inbred
for a succession of years
The first thing noticeable in the
line Of degeneration is the undersize
of the lambs. The animals actually
show smaller size from one generation
to another, and if the inbreeding is
kept up they become small and puny
creatures, or at least fair percentage
Of the lambs will be thus understood.
The loss is Of itself twofold. The
lamb thai is understood produces less
wool because there is a smaller surface
for 1t to grow on. In the course of
several generations the amount of sur
face may decrease by almost a square
foot. Count MP how much wool is
produced on square foot of the
Sleeps hide, and you will get at the
exact loss. Then the Understood lamb
yields SO much less meat for the
butcher. The loss here, too, is con
siderable, and when finally sent to be
killed the loss on the wool and tue
nation will make rather startling
sum.
But this is not the only loss sus-
