We chose the Bourbon Red tur-
keys, and they have proved most
satisfactory in their domestic and
non-wandering qualities,
Probably the White Holland or
the Buff turkeys would have served
our purpose equally well.
The Mammoth Bronze would not
have done for us at all, for they are
determined to wander and must be
looked up and brought home about
[ o'clock each afternoon or Nine.
Turkey will sit down in the field
with her brood and perhaps become
a prey to foxes before morning.
We have never lost any turkeys to
foxes, and that of itself makes it
worth while for us to raise the do.

The male Reds are dark brown

white wings, and usually white feath.
ers in the tail. The females are the
same, except a little lighter.
They are prolific layers. Our
flock Of eight hen turkeys last sea-
son laid 400 eggs. They are fine
fowl, the flesh being fine grained,
tender, plump and yellow.
They are of the best size for trade,
averaging ten to fourteen pounds
dressed. Few families now care for
eighteen and twenty pound birds.
The little poults are tender and,
must be carefully tended for the
first two months.
The prepared chick foods are a
boon to the turkey raiser as we'll as
to the chick grower and make an ex-
cellent food until the little turks
are large enough to eat wheat
Wheat bread just dripped In milk
and squeezed dry Is good feed. Feed
plenty of grit, oyster shell, old plas-
tering, If you have it, charcoal and
fresh water. Green stuff they must
have.
Dandelions and onion tops and
lettuce are all good and seem to act
as a tonic.
Keep the little fellows out of the
vain and damp, keep them free from
lice, do not overfeed and they will
grow. and thrive.
A few lice will speedily kill lit
tie turks. Dust them with Persian
insect powder and If you see any
head lice just put a little vasellno
or sweet cream on the heads.

Owing to the rumor that Sussex
County Republicans were labOTing un.
der the belief that the Republican or
gsnization was opposed to another
term for Congressman Hiram r. Bur
ton and would not permit his renomi-
nation even though it should be de-
manded by a solid delegation from
Sussex County to the State COnven-
tion, General T. Coleman dH POnt,
chairman of the Republican State
Committee, has written q letter to q
friend for DR.. Burton, which was puO-
lished this week, to the effect that such
reports are unfounded and wrong.
Chairman du Pont calls attention to
the fact that the duty Of the Republic
can organization is to elect the ticket
when nominated and says that what
the organization wants is, for all coun-
ties to select the best men they have,
the stOngest men they have, for the
Republican ticket and nominate them

GROWING CHICKENS.
Conditions Which Must Be Provided
for Them.

The Ontario agricultural expert
mental farm has the following to say
about growing chickens:
Our experience is that in order to
grow the best chickens at the least
cost, and as quickly as possible, one
must be careful to put them on new or
untainted ground. We find year after
year that where we raise chickens on
new ground, they grow faster and
make larger birds. We have ground
upon which chickens have been grown
for nine or more years, and last sea-
son we placed chickens on this
ground April 1, and placed another
flock of the same breeding on new
ground, April %. By October the
chickens on the new ground were full
ly as well matured and were larger in
size. The feeding was the same to
both focks. Most farm chickens have
sufficient range so that this may not
be a very serious matter, but to those
who are growing many chickens,
rotation of crops is very desirable. We
have grown good chickens in the corn
field and in the orchards. The more
the land is cultivated Or stirred the
chickens grow.
The Importance of feeding little
chicks green food in abundance is i'm
pressed upon us year by year. We
now make a special effort to supply all
the lettuce, rape, or other tender green
food a chick will eat from the day it is
Matched until it is at least four to six
weeks old, at which age they can run
about and hunt for themselves. We
do not put two broods of chicks on
the same ground during one season,
and further, June, and even July
chicks will do very we'll when the green
food is we'll supplied and the range is
new. A little chick can not get much
green food from old tough grass.
We have, this year, fed chickens
from hoppers after they were four or
five weeks old. A few chickens were
so fed from the day they were Matched.
This worked fairly well when the
weather was fine and the range was
large. The hoppers contained wheat
and cracked corn, and for part of the
chickens hopper of mash, composed
of bran, shorts, and cornmeal of equal
parts, to which was added 10 per cent.
of beef scrap was supplied.
