Turkev Raising For women.

turkey Raising FOR women.
Five years ago Miss Arlita Martin of
Texas began raising turkeys. She had
a flock of five hens and gobbler to
start with. The first year she raised
1T birds in the spring and seventy
nine in the fall, which she sold at an
average of 81 cents each. The greater
part of the first years earnings was
spent the second year in buying food
and building houses and yards for her
fowls. She bought five common hens
and put them to Matching turkeys
eggs at the same time turkey hens
were set and when the poults APP
peared they were all given to the COM
mon hens. while the turkey hens were
broken up and soon laid another clutch
of eggs.
That year she raised 434 turkeys and
sold all but fifty, which were reserved
for breeders From these she raised
the following year 1,400, of which loo
were kept. By this time she was using
incubators and planted several acres to
green stuff for food and hired two wo-
men and several boys to help care for
the turkeys. Over and above all ex-
penses she cleared $500 the fifth year
The main food is bread and cornmeal
with a little red pepper and good
quantity of green food.

MATCHING WITH HENS.
Some Rules That Must De Observed
to Secure Good Results.

some Rules Thuf Must be ObServeu
to Secure Good Results.
Matching chicks with hens is as old
as domestic poultry At the same time
on the average great improvement can
be made in methods for having this
work done by hens, especially when we
try to produce the chicks in numbers
to the best advantage. In forming the
nest for the hen We are apt to use a
box much too small for the purpose,
for the nest should be deep and be
made of enough material to lend its aid
in helping to keep the eggs warm.
nest that is so sparingly made as to
scarcely keep the eggs from the sides
and bottom of the box fails in lending
aid in keeping the eggs warm. Use
plenty of hay or straw and pack it
close and tight and have it deep like a
birds nest so the hen will be down
among the hay or straw, and have the
lining thick enough to keep the eggs
away from the box.
Nests so constructed will lend their
aid to the work, protect the eggs from
changes of the weather and assist the
hen in her work, but when SO con-
structed as to allow the heat to be
drawn away from the eggs the chances
are that you will not have so large a
hatch as you will have when the nests
are properly made. We know of some
who depend entirely upon the hens to
do the Matching. ! have Seen thirty and
forty hens on nests of eggs in one room,
all the nests built in row and two
tiers high, the nests roomy ard deep
and the room darkened except when
the hens came to feed. 1t is quite as
easy to have them this way as any
way They can be let off at noon prior
to going to your own MONDAY meal,
and when you have finished you can
see to it that all have been off to feed
by feeling their crops. Place all where
they belong and shut them in for an
other day.
When this plan is i'll good working
order, there is but little trouble in look
ing after the hens. Have ten or dOz-
en- feed boxes and by each a pan of
water so they may all have chance
lOF lou anu uIiHh. DuoI thCh oAi well
with any good insect powder in place
of the dust BATH and all will go well
with them. If we will place our hand
on the crop of each after it has been
off to feed, we can quickly tell those
that have not fed and take them off
again to eat If we watch them well
and care for their wants, many of them
will stay on the nest for two matches
and do well. thus providing a living
incubator.

Pollard says: MANY breeders feed
only at stated times from the begin
ming. but we have found that it saves
time and trouble and the ducklings do
quite as well when we leave the feed
before them. After the third day they
are fed four times day, rather more
than they will clean up at once. From
the first they have water at night as
well as during the day. 1t is one of the
prettiest sights of the whole business
10 see string of the downy little vel
low chaps travel to and from the water
fountain in moonlit brooder building.
They glide like quaint little shadows
and converse in quiet little peeps of
eontentment."

MUseoyy Ducks,

If the Muscovy drake was Matched
and raised by a hen. he will probably
give trouble in the poultry yard, but il
Matched by a duck of his race he will
not trouble other fowls that do not first
attack him. Mine are very quiet I'M
less attacked. and then the best game
cock had better beware.
The flesh of the Muscovy is excel
lent, in my opinion the best of ducks ii
eaten before the bird is four years old
An older one have never tried.
These ducks will lay in the south ear
" every month of the year. | have had
Muscovy eggs every month except Sep
TENDER and October. But they will moi
often lay more than fifteen before
wanting to sit. Moreover. they are
cheaper TO keep than other ducks II
they have their liberty.
Being natives of Brazil. they are the
duck par excellence for the south.-I

THE HIGHEST DEMAND.
The Processes of Pastcurizing and
Clarifying Milk.

The Processes of Paste urizing and
Clarifying Milk.
1t may prove interesting to some of
our readers to know how the finest
brands of milk are handled for the
: very particular market they are intend
ed to supply. Let us say right here
that the influence of this highest de-
mand is making itself felt all along the
line, even to the ordinary creamery,
calling for a more conscientious and
Intelligent treatment of the milk and
its conditions, says Hoard's Dairyman.
The Dayton (O1 Pure Afils' md But
ter company have lately in ned their
plant, and we will desdr55e' the various
processes through Which the milk
passes.
About twenty-five dail are now
furnishing milk direct to the plant.
Every mans product is first tested each
morning to see that it has not been
"doctored' by the addition of formal
dehyde OF other foreign substance OF
diluted with water 1t is then put into
a large tank and weighed. From this it
goes with the other milk into a very
large open tank covered with cloth,
where it is constantly stirred to pre-
vent the cream from rising. This is on
the second floor The next process
takes the milk to the first floor where
it passes through the tempering tank.
Here the temperature of the milk is
raised to about 1852 degrees, not hot
enough TO change the chemical proper
ties of the milk, however. The process
is continuous from the time the fluid
leaves the receiving tank until it is
Theoretically sealed in steriliZed bot
ties AS it goes from the tempering
tank it runs directly to the claHfier,
which makes thousands of revolutions
a minute, and every particle of foreign
matter is eliminated. And such stuff it
is, a whole bucketful every dly Of the
vilest of dirt and filth and tine D ducts
of disease.
From the clarifier the hot milk goes
to the pasteurizers. There are three of
these, the first filled with hot water,
the second with cold, the third with
brine In passing through these ma
chimes the temperature of the milk is
lowered in about ten seconds from 1872
to SO degrees. And therein is the pas
teurizing process by which all bacteria
and germs of every sort are killed, as
they are not able to withstand the
shock of the sudden change in temper
allure.
After bottling the milk is put in cold
storage and held for delivery. 1t is as
pure as milk can be and yet just'as tru-
" milk as it ever was. 1t will keep for
five or six days in an ordinary refriger-
ator. The pasteurizing kills the Tactic
germs, which are responsible for the
souring process.
The bottles are cleaned as clean as
they can be made and afterward put in
a steriIizing room and subjected to 24C
degrees of heat for half an hour.
The whole plant is i'll the highest de-
gree wholesome and sanitary. The EN-
ployees dress in pure white, always
fresh and clean.

SELECTING SEED CORN.
How to Examine Kernels and Deter
49,. c.n.<....s....I csl...4n-4n

How to Examine Kernels and Deter
mine Chemical Contents.
The method of making chemical Sc
lection of ears of seed corn by simple
mechanical examination of the kernels
is based upon the fact that the kernel
of corn is not homogeneous in structure,
but consists of several distinct and
readily observable parts of markedly
different chemical composition. Aside
from the hull which surrounds the ker-
mel, there are three principal parts in a
grain of corn:
First.-The darker colored and rather
hard and horny layer lying next to the
hull, principally in the edges and to-
ward the tip end of the kernel, where
it is about three millimeters, or one
eighth of an inch, in thickness.
Second-The white, starchy appear
ing part occupying the crown end OF
the kernel and usually also immediate
ly surrounding the germ
Third-The germ itself, which occu-
pies the central part of the kernel to
ward the tip end.
These different parts of the corn ker
mel can be readily recognized by merely
dissecting single kernel with pocket
knife.
The horny layer, which usually con
stitutes about 50 per cent of the corr
kernel, contains large proportion OF
the total protein in the kernel.
The white, starchy part constitutes
about 20 per cent of the whole kerne

1t is now generally conceded that the
recent national legislation on oleomar-
garine is not going to restrict the pro-
duction of that article, ard, further.
that it is likely to increase its consump-
ton, says Stockman and Farmer. The
low license fee and the fact that re-
tailers can make a greater profit from
oleomargarine than from butter are
powerful influences in extending the
trade in the substitute. So far as color
goes oleomargarine is now being col
ored without at least any apparent VIC
lation of law The colOring is not so
rich as of yore, but it is sufficient to
satisfy the consumers eye, and oleo-
margarine's merits are being so gener-
ally urged and the dement's of butter
so forcibIy set forth by the retailer
that more people than ever are eating
oleomargarine knowingly. A new proc
ess of renovating inferior butter Is now
in use by the packers, and this is hav-
ing some influence Oh the market. On
the whole we cannot say that the stu
alton justifies expectation of high
prices for butter henceforth. Prices are
fair now, all things considered, and
the probability is that they will not be
higher except for a brief period OF I'M
der some stress of circumstances. The
butter maker must depend on the excel
lence of his product to afford him a
profitable market one year with anoth-
err Legislation will not do it. nor will
ANYTHING else do it except the care and
skill in manufacture and marketing.
Common butter must continue to sell
cheap, just as common products of all
kinds sell. Broadly speaking, produc-
ton is more evenly balanced now than
1t was. Mole milk is going into cheese
and to the cities, and until there are
more dairymen there is not likely to be
n serious overproduction in the butter
business. But good products will be
necessary to profit.
The Profit In Feeding.
While nearly all admit that it pays to
feed literally, but small per cent Of
our dairymen practice full feeding. II
they would remember that it takes ap.
proximately GO per cent of all that a
COW can eat to maintain her body,
more would strive to get profit from
feeding the remaining 40 per cent, as
it is in this that ell the profit lies.
Give the Light.
All domestic animals prefer light
quarters to those that are dark, and
fiairymen especially will do well to
cater to this natural desire. Cows kept
In dark quarters are apt to have more
or less trouble with their eyes, as too
much darkness seems to cause de-
rangement Of the eye.
