Care of Points,

Poor little turkeys; how they
shorten their necks and cry their
hungry note. You say they have
plenty to eat, but won't eat much.
If this is so, either the feed doesn't
suit, or else they are lousy.
None on their heads or necks YOU
say. Perhaps not, but gently spread
their wing into fan and look close
ly between the quills, and the
chances are that the grooves will be
full of lice, mostly tiny, and likely
some are spilling over the grooves.
If there are few or many, or even
should there be none, sprinkle thick
ly with insect powder. and with the
finger. rub into the grooves.
This, II repeated weekly, or If very
badly infested. repeated every three
days, will rout the lice and prevent
them from coming.
Poults dearly love and thrive on
milk curd. I always made 1t as for
table use, scalded the clabber milk
to sweeten It, then squeezed or
pressed the curd dry, seasoned with
salt and pepper until palatable.
Feed on a sanded pan or board.
How they will eat; they can hardly
get enough to satisfy them.
Save all the tops (green part II
the onions, to chop for the pou!:e.
This Is very healthful for them, and
II they do not eat heartily Of it fed
alone, mix in with the curd.
Make their bread. whether wheat
or corn, quite hot with black pepper.
As we never had enough curd for
the poults, we fed it, with the onion
salad, for their breakfast, and gave
bread through the rest of the day,
Sand was never mixed in with the
feed as for ducklings, but at least
one feed a day was given on sanded
pans.
No sloppy feed was given; II the
bread was hard, after softening in
clean water, 1t was squeezed dry be-
fore being fed.
Poults require lots of clean water,
in clean vessels. Remember they
are the aristocrats of the poultry
hAp
chicks are Just common folk.
Nothing will cause disease quicker
in the flock of poults than impure
drinking water,
Their quarters must be kept clean
too, and more care taken OF them
while young, than one gives the
chick, especially as regards clean
feed and impure air; but / love to
grow them; besides they are quite a
money maker.
We had a pen or yard OF boards,
built around each brood coop, made
high enough to prevent the poults n.y.

Pure, fresh air is the best invigor-

poultry house, the incubator room
and the brooder house. The old
fowls must have it, the eggs require

Care must be used in supplying It,
