Raisino TURKEYS

Where turkeys are kept they should al
ways be provided with separate living
houses, says The Feather. In some local
tiles they are permitted and often encour-
aged to live entirely out of doors, to
roost either in the trees or upon roosts
built for them in the open. Where houses
are furnished them they should be sep
arate and all other kinds of fowls should
be excluded therefrom. There should al
ways be some ventilation in or near the
roof and the roosts for the turkeys
should be well up from the floor and on
the level-never elevated one above the
other, owing to the fact that each speci-
men within the building would be SO de-
sirous of perching upon the top round as
to cause overcrowding, disturbances and
quarreling among the flock. Where the
roosts are upon the level no one has ad-
vantage of the other. In selecting stock
for breeding, turkey hens over year old
should always be used Hens in their
second, third and even fourth year are
the best producers. With these should
be mated toms not under year old nor
over two years old. Toms from fourteen
to sixteen months old or in their second
year are always the best. Non-related
hocks should be the rule. They should

People who have tried ii know that 1t
is an easy matter to- get nearly as many
eggs in winter, when eggs are worth 40
cents dozen, as in the spring, when
the price drops to 15 cents. Increasing
egg production is largely a matter of
the proper feed-egg making feed.
AS a matter of fact the whole secret
is cut green bone. Under the right con-
ditions this costs no more, and in some
localities much less, than grain. Yet,
pound for pound cut green bone will
make just eighteen times as many eggs
as grain.
1t is better to feed vegetables raw than
cooked, as they are not SO fattening in
a raw state. The evening feed should be
given an hour before sundown, so the
fowls will have plenty of time to fill
their crops.

Matched coclkerel, to be added to the
credit of each pullet of the same hatch.
1t is supposed, and correctly so, / be-
lieve, that the first year of a hens life,
from the time she fairly begins to lay, is
the most profitable year of her life.
1.-THE early spring-hatched pullet will
begin regular laying about October ]
and will continue without interruption
till the same time in the following year.
She does not molt in her first year, and
so can devote all the energies Of her
body to the production of eggs. The fall
Matched pullet will begin regular laying
say about May ] and will be the first
of all the hens to feel the effect of the
molt, and about the middle Of October
or before viii be about through laying
till the next January. Thus she will
have but nine months of laying time
during her first year, and these months
will not include any of the time when
eggs are high priced.
1.-THE fall pullets will not give more
than 100 eggs for this first year. and
these will not average in price more
than 90 cents per dozen, as none of them
come at the hest time for eggs. At this
price these eight and one-half dozen
eggs will return s195, to which will be
added the 2S cents profit on the cockerel,
making a product of 1923 per hen From
this amount must be deducted the cost
of feed which we may estimate at 81 per
year, though for this year this item will
be considerably more, owing to the high
prices for all grains.
This will then show a profit of s1.23
per hen for the fall hatch.
1.-THE spring Matched pullet will easily
produce during her first year eleven
dozen eggs, which bring an average price
of 81 cents, as many of them are laid dur
ing the winter when eggs bring big
price. Eleven dozen eggs at q cents is
s2.97. From this deduct 81 for feed and
you have profit of $197 per hen, as
opposed to s1.23 per hem

and vigor. Never select the overly large
ones; those of the medium size or some
larger are always the best.
Many years ago the turkey that pro-
duced eighteen and twenty eggs in a
season was considered of the best. Con-
siderable attention has been given of late
years to the improvement of the laying
qualities of the turkey hens. 1t is not
unusual now to have them produce as
many as fifty or sixty eggs in a season.
Some have done even better than this.

History of Minorcas

There seems to be little doubt that the
Minorca descended from the old Castilian
breed indigenous to Spain. But it also
appears that they were obtained from
Ninorca, which is one of the Balearic
islands off the east coast of Spain. As
those islands are owner by the Spaniards
we might naturally expect the same class
of fowls as on the main land They were
first taken to England between 1880 and
1885, and for a considerable period were
Fnown under the name of Spanish fowls.
and afterward as Red-faced Spanish.
About 1876 the breed began to gain popu-
iarity and a class was given it at the
Crystal Palace show in 1888. In some por-
lions of England they had been called
Minorcas and that name was accepted.
They were brought to this country about
that time. there being considerable dis
pute as to who made the. first importa@
tons.
A successful breeder writes: II once
knew a well-to-do family that ate graham
rolls at breakfast year in and year out.
don't know of anything that ] like, or
that l think would be better for a break
fast for a family than graham rolls, yet
l will admit that after eating one food
for years / would want change. While
some chickens might be satisfied to have
one food year in and year out, yet l am
certain that the majority of them are
like ourselves and want change. Give
little chicks dry bread crumbs from the
table, cut up boiled eggs and small grain
for a few days, then wheat and cracked
corn with occasionally a wet food made
of ground grain and scraps. Oats, corn,
clover cabbage and lettuce are all much
Ielished. Keep gravel and oyster shells
constantly by them and a little charcoal
for their health BY all means feed a
variety My chickens like the same food
as l do and there is nothing they will
race faster to get their share of than the
scraps from our table They need fresh
water every day.

STRIVING
TO RETAIN GOLD
England, France and Belgium All
Advance Their Rates Of
Discount.
GERMANY TO FOLLOW SUIT

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE con-
test Of the European money markets
to retain their gold resources was In
dicated by the simultaneous action to-
day OF three of the large central banks
of Europe and n call for Il meeting
tomorrow of the governing board Of
"a fourth.
The Bank of England advanced its
rate of discount from to z per cent,
reached since 1873, The Bank OF
France advanced It's regular discount
rate from 1-2 per cent. to 4 per cent,
and fixed the rate for loans on securi-
ties at 4 1-2 per cent The National
Bank OF Belgium advanced It's rate of
discount from L. per cent. to per
cent. and DR.. Koch, the governor OF
the Imperial Bank Of Germany, called
a meeting OF the governing board for
tomorrow, which is expected to adj
vance the discount rate Of the bank
from 6 to Z per cent
These movements in Europe are re-
garded as an indication OF the ability
OF New York to command gold. and
the efforts of the European banks to
protect themselves against this de-
mand. Even those high discount rates,
however. are regarded as insufficient
to prevent the further importation of
gold into this country, in view OF tho
large credits which are being created
BY the shipment of wheat and cotton.
Equalixc Gold Distribution.
The high rate fixed by the English
bank Is not expected to entirely arrest
exports from London to New York but
Is counted upon in London to equalize
among European money centres SO as
to offset losses to America by Imports
OF gold from other places.
The stock market reflected the pres
sure for money by considerable de-
clines to-day, but these declines were
generally expected by bankers. who
looked upon the rapid advance in quo
tatiQns of yesterday as hardly justified
by the situation. There is strong
determination among the conservative
interests that there shall not be large
speculation for the rise at the present
time. They believe that such q move
ment would not only be artificial and
likely to lead to dlsappointments, but
that it would make calls upon the
money market which cannot we'll be
met under present conditions.
To Meet Currency Scarcity.
The engagement of gold to-day
brought up the total importation on the
present movement to s40,425,0O0, an
amount which would permit loan ex.
pansion OF more than sloo.OO0,000, IL
the legal reserves had not been already
impaired.
The situation in regard TO the trust
companies is gradually becoming nor
NAL. The temporary scarcity OF cur
rency caused by boarding and the de .
sire of the banks to husband their re-
sources, is being met very generally,
according to reports reaching Nayy
York bankers. by the issue of printed
certified checks or temporary interest
bearing notes. and in some cases by
scrip issued by manufacturing and
other -hanking corporations. This
resource was very generally resorted to
in the panic OF 1888, and practically
