WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. r.
That Representative Rainey got from

Lowering declared that the "Per-

not notify the Illinois member of his
intention to speak on this subject.

answer as to who these convicts

IRREGULARITIES OF TURKEYS.
Some Points Which Will Aid in Rails
ing Them.

s. f. Wallace contributes the follow.
ing items to Profitable Poultry" re-
Gently compiled by F. D. Coburn Of
Kansas:
Young turkeys are harder to raise
than chicks or ducklings, and in or
der to succeed with them more pains
must be taken to study their nature
and habits
The natural tendency of the turkey
is to roost where night overtakes it.
and in time the wild animals are apt
to diminish the flock.
This can be avoided by an inexpen-
'lyely constructed roosting-place. which
can be made with woven-wire netting,
few posts and roof of tarred pale-,
where the birds can be housed at
night.
The young birds can be trained to
come up regularly at about four
o'clock to be fed, when they can easily
be driven into the roosting-place for
the night
An earthen floor can be laid in this
pen, but it must be kept clean. The
majority of failures are no doubt, due
to lack of proper knowledge or 10 care
lessness.
In many instances, where the young
are hatched by chicken hens, the fos-
ter-mother is cooped and the little
ones deprived of their liberty, and fed
almost entirely on wheat or grain OF
some sort, which alone is enough to
cause the poults to die.
They must have more of a vegetable
diet, and even in this case judgment
must be exercised
Turn the hen loose with the little
ones, and let them pick what they
most relish, giving them little meal
or wheat to coax them home and also
to quicken their growth.
In picking stock from which to start
make your calculation that some are
wild and some are tame.
The bronze variety is very desir
able for the market on account of its
size and the sweet flavor of its meat
But on account of its wild rowing dis

The birds nearly always hide theil
nests, and perhaps will not be seer

The White Hollands are more do
mesticated and are more apt to make
their nests about the barn and out
buildings. as chickens do. They are
also layers, having a record of a:
