The poultry raiser who Is fortunate
enough to have n large area OF ground
should not overlook the turkey as a

turkeys and hens together. There are
ailments which are almost harmless
to hens which prove fatal to turkeys.
In raising turkeys keep them free from
lice and do not overfeed them. In the
spring the turkeys need green food. in
sects or animal food and plenty of
fresh, cool water and good range. Do
not keep them shut up in houses. ex-
cept in winter. and even then, except
when sleet falls or the weather is ex.
tremely severe. they must have plenty
of air. One of the most fatal diseases
to turkeys is blackhead. In some
places this disease has wiped out
whole flocks.
Diarrhea is the most pronounced
symptom. This. however. sometimes
occurs from other intestinal disorders
and does not alone signify the pres
ence OF the malady. The next symp-
