ers. The Bronze retains as much of
the wild nature as any other variety,
perhaps, and we have had a great
deal Of experience with that breed Of
turkeys. They are very likely to
der and they will seek remote places
for their nests, but after all they are
quite a domestic fowl, and can easily
be kept in love with their home and
prompt to return to it at night. They
will learn to go where they can find
feed. A neighbours wheat field in sum
mer, or corn shocks in autumn may
win them x feed is scarce in the fields
at home, but if they have ready feeds
at morning and night, they are not so
apt to stray ron the home grounds;
and If they have a suitable roosting
place where they are not disturbed
at night, they are very likely to re-
turn to it every evening.
And the farm hat supports a flock
of turkeys will not support so many
g~rasshoppels and other insects as will
the farm that has no turkeys. Many
times have we been in the fields with
the turkeys. and watched them catch
these pests. We have seen them take
their places in a row as regularly as
men could place them. and thus march
across a pasture or freshly harvested
meadow or wheat or oat field, and
the grasshopper or other insect that
rose before them was sure a "goner."
We believe turkeys may thus benefit
a farm TO the full value of what 1t
costs to raise them. Besides they are
making of this worthless raw materi-
al a valuable market commodity.

MAKING PROFIT IN TURKEYS
ply and Prices Are Invariably
Good-Eat Many Insects.

The wild turkey in advance of the
white mar had a congenial home in
almost all parts of the United States.
Domestic turkeys are the descendants,
more or less direct, of the wild ones.
Therefore, since the United States
was the original home Of the wild
turkeys, it is clearly adapted to the
growing of the domesticated ones.
And no more profitable fowl can be
grown on the interior farms, says the
Up-to-Date Farming. The demand is
always greater than the supply, the
market is not cornered as is that Of
most other farm products, and prices
are almost invariably good.
We suppose a principal reason that
more turkeys are lot raised is a dread
farmers have of their wild character
istics. Some varieties retain the wild
nature to a greater degree than others
but it is a fact also that those which
have most of the wild nature are the
hardest fowls. And this is a quail
ity that need not discourage the grow

POULTRY HEALTH AND VIGOR
Prime Importance Of These Qualities
in Breeding Of Fowls Discussed
by Prot. Rice Of Cornell.

Prof. James E. Rice, of Cornell uni
versity, speaking recently on Re
suits of tho Second Years Expert
ments in Breeding for Constitutional
Vigor," before the New York State
Breeders meeting, said that it had
been felt for ONE time that the health
and vigor of the fowl is one Of the
most important factors in poultry
breeding. Under forced feeding the
hens were brought up to laying $50
to 16O eggs each per year. This
meant a heavy strain on the hen, and
has resulted in constitutional weak
ness.
Just as Prof. Rice had brought his
hens up to the high standard of lay
ing, he was dismayed to find that
only 40 per cent. of the eggs Matched,
and that only SO per cent. of the chick
ems lived. To remedy this the hens
were given plenty of fresh air, green
food and exercise. They were al
lowed to range at liberty.
The big proposition in the poultry
business is to raise good strong
healthy chickens. The situation that
confronts us is that the period Of use
fulness in the hen covers only about
two years, and If We are to make a
success Of the business we must have
GOOD strong chickens to replace our
iocks.
The speaker then took up the mat.
ter Of cross-breeding. and described
the different experiments along those
lines at Cornell. He said that nothing
had been gained In size or vigor by
crossing. and spoke emphatically
gainst the practice.

This habit is usually acquired by
fowls that are closely confined dur

in small yards. The fowls long for
something to eat that they do not
have, and eggs on the floor or in open
nests seem to supply the deficiency.
You cannot cure them Of this habit
by any form of punishment. Feed
and care for them in such a way that
they will lose all desire to eat the
eggs, if possible to do so. Arrange
