A TURKEY QUEEN.
She Makes Fine Income Raising the
Lordly Birds.

81 made $500 last year raising tur-
keys" said Miss Anita Martin, a
young woman who is known in Tex
as, her native state, as the Turkey
Queen"
81 began with five hens and COB
bier You know, l suppose, that turkey
hen almost invariably lays thirteen
eggs before she begins to set, and al
so that she lays two filters of eggs
a year. Well, that first year of the
125 eggs set in the spring all Matched
excepting five, and | raised III birds.
I'm the autumn when my hens laid
again, followed my original plan of
buying extra eggs. but was neither so
successful in the Matching nor the
raising, bringing up only 20. Yet 10
and III make 1885, so when l tell you
that sold those turkeys at an aver
age price of 81 cents, you will see that
l had snug little sum for my trouble.
AS that was my first year the food
had cost me personally nothing, my
father had told me at the beginning to
go ahead and raise all the turkeys
wished to.
However, when the second year
began, although l started out with the
same six birds, l determined to put
myself on a business basis with the
rest of my family, so l used a large
part of my earnings of the year before
in buying food as well as building
fowl houses and yards. Then | fol-
lowed the plan of the previous season
in every particular excepting that l
added five Brahma chickens-hens, of
course-to my flock. These l set on
turkey eggs about the same time that
l did my turkeys, and when they
Matched out l gave all the little ones
to the chicken hens to mother and
turned the turkey hens out into the
pasture to lay another litter of eggs.
This they will generally do in the
spring when not allowed to raise the
first brood. That spring 1 raised just
200 turkeys and in the autumn 234
more. This time did not sell all. In
stead increased my stock to 80.

Pekin Ducks.

Rouen ducks are equal to the Pekins
in size, lay as many eggs, are more
beautiful and grow rapidly, but no
ducklng will grow as fast as Pekin
duckling up to the age of twelve
weeks, nor will any breed thrive as
well without a pond as the Pekins. All
breeds have some disadvantages as
well as advantages, says some one in
Farm and Fireside. Pekins are white
and clean, but dirty plumage on a
duckling that weighs five pounds
when it is ten weeks old is better than
an apparently cleaner plumage on a
smaller one. Never mind the dirt, but
try to get the most weight in the
shortest space of time and at the low
est cost.

THE REAL ARTIcHoKE.
Not the Kind Grown for Its Tasteless
TuberS

The bur, or globe, artichoke is cult
waited extensively in the countries
about the Mediterranean, where it is
native and where it thrives in the
open air. 1t is grown to a less eX-
tent in gardens in central Europe and
England, but being sensitive to severe
cold requires winter protection in all
these northern regions. 1t is a vegeta-

is sure to become popular in this
country on the tables of those who

bur artichoke is not to be confused
with the Jerusalem artichoke occa-

tubers, which are used as a forage for
fattening hogs and other domestic ami

The method of cultivation is simple.
Rows five feet apart are raised like
sweet potato ridges, and the arti-

feet apart in the row. Four small
suckers are planted in a square five
inches apart in each hill This num-

October to December, or in spring. In
the latter case the crop will be ready
to harvest the following spring, not
in the autumn, as might be expected.

Mo Time to Pull Feathers.

One Of the greatest mistakes made
by poultry keepers is feeding their
fowls heavily the first thing in the
morning. When they are filled up
there is no incentive to work, to hus-
tie about in quest of food, and they
gather in some sunny spot and idle
away the time picking themselves and
each other They pull out feather
occasionally and swallow it, and thus
acquire a habit that sticks to them
all their days. Feed fowls very lightly
in the morning, and if there is consid-
cradle waste food about the yards,
feed them nothing and they will hus-
tie about all day, and just before go
ing to roost should be given a full
feed. If fowl goes to roost full of
food it will sleep all night and let the
feathers of its companions alone. 1t
has to hustle for breakfast and din
ner, it has no time to pull feathers
during the day.

might be asked about cooking feed
for hogs. hope l need only to say
that many other stations as well as
Kansas have tried, and tried faithful
ly, to prove that it pays to cook feed
for hogs, but it has not been done.
From my own observation it appears
to me that the reason some feeders
find that it pays to grind and cook
feed they take a great deal more pains
in feeding. They feed regularly and
keep the feeding places in good shape;
and the difference comes from this,
not from the grinding or cooking.-J.

great loss is very largely the result
of carelesSness and neglect of the
planters The farmer who does not
propose to give the same careful
treatment to his orchard that he does
to his other crops had better not
make the effort to have one. If he ex-
poets to sow his young trees to grass
or small grain and then to Craze it
with calves or other live stock he will
find other and cheaper methods of &C.
cupying his land and feeding his
stock than by investing in trees Bet
ter save his money and pains and
wisely decide in advance to go with
out an orchard.
Thorough and oft repeated stirring
ST the soil is absolutely essential to
success. Such culture as is needed TO
produce a first-class crop of corn or
potatoes will keep an orchard in good
health and vigor, provided the ground
is sufficiently fertile. As already
stated, in no case should small grain
or grass be grown in an orchard. This
mistake is often made by thoughtless
or inexperienced planters.
The ground having been properly
prepared before planting, a two-horse
cultivator frequently run between the
rows will keep it in good condition
during growing season. Each spring
the surface should be well stirred
with a two-horse pillow, using a short
singletree next to the row of trees to
avoid danger of bruising the trunks of
the trees.
Scientists and practical orchardists
are generally agreed on the great val
ue of well rotted barnyard manure as
the best for an apple orchard. 1t not
only supplies humus, but it contains
a large percent of other necessary NIL
tritive elements for maintaining
health, vigor, and fruitfulness Of tree
and development of qualities for a
fine fruit product. But as the stock
of this sort of manure is not always
sufficient for the general demand, 9TH
er agents have to be resorted to; and
next in value and in a concentrated
form are unleached -,ood ashes, which
will supply to a great extent the nee
essary element of plant growth. 1t is
maintained by some authorities that
1 ton of unleached wood ashes con.
tains as much plant nutriment as
tons Of ordinary barn manure, and
whenever obtainahle ashes should be
used in preference to any other fertil-
izer

Exercise,

Plenty Of straw or leaves should be
put into the hen houses and a little
grain or leaves of some kind scattered
thereon several times a day to keep
the fowls scratching. If hens are to be
kept healthy and in good laying con-
dition, their food should be given
them in such a manner as to furnish
them exercise.

Poultry Runs,

Gravelly locations are nearly always
dry and healthy, furnish plenty of
natural grit and are generally adapted
for growth of fruit trees, which can
be set profitably in the hen yard. Very
poor land should not be selected for
the chicken run, because of lack of
pasturage, and because an orchard on
very poor, dry land will not be salts

THE POULTRY YARD.
Eccentricities and Other Ways of the
Average Sitting Hen.


The eccentricities and idiosyncrasies
of sitting hen are beyond all ac-
count. There is no power in the world
that can prevent some Of them from
sitting half their lives. They will sit
on good eggs, ON corrupt eggs, on
china eggs, on paving stones, on door
knobs, on eggs which exist nowhere
but in the Imagination of the too en-
thusiastic sitter. If thoroughly in the
notion to sit in winter you could start
some hens on snowballs or icicles
Turn them out Of one place they will
hustle off with a reproachful cluck
and squat down in another.
AS is commonly known, the finest
attribute of the Plymouth Rock is her
broOdiness, as it were. Some other
hens will never sit at ALL Take the
white MiDorcas, for instance-those
hens with the great, handsome combs
which closely resemble ROSTERS and
are called Galatians by the Spaniards.
They will lay more eggs in year,
perhaps than any other sort of hen,
but they will not lay them in winter,
and don't think any one of them was
ever known to hatch brood of chick
ems. The Minorcas will often begin to
sit, but they seem to labor under the
strange hallucination that three days
ought to be sufficient time in which to
hatch out an egg, and at the expira-
ton Of that period they will abandon
the attempt with remarkable fiutter
and much hen-billingsgate. All efforts
on the poulterers' part to compel Min
orcas to sit end in humilating failure.
