TURKEYS NEED LARGE RANGE
Small Pen In Town 10 Absolutely Not
Suitable for Rearing Meat For
Christmas Dinner.

For those persons In town who are
thinking Of raising a turkey or two In
their back yards there is trouble in
store. The back yard or pen is not
the place for bird which refuses to
be domesticated, w. A. Lippincott,
head Of the poultry department at the
Kansas Agricultural college, says.
The farm Is the place to raise tur-
keys. They must have good range.
During the first few months it Is bet
ter to give them no grain, but let them
forage and eat bugs. If small turkeys
are cared for in this way. the fatality
will be much less.
Professor Lippincott suggests that
you let some farmer take your young
turkeys and rear them. You might ar
range to pay q little rent to a farmer
for allowing your birds to roam In his
pastures. Then, along about Thanks
giving, all you have to do is to go out
and harvest your turkey.

The effect of the lightning is shown
in burns over the lower portion of

lightning followed the artificial left
leg from a point few inches below

Providing Fresh Air.

Birds are so constituted by nature
that they require an abundance of
fresh air for health and vigor. They
never do well with a limited supply
Of air. For this reason all coops and
boxes in which poultry Of any kind
is kept in the summer should be as
open as possible.
Let the roof be tight to protect from
rain, but let at least one side be open
for the admission Of fresh air at all
times. The open side may be protected
by wire cloth or other material that
will let in the air. but keep out rats,
