POINTS IN TURKEY RAISING
NO Other Fowl 30 Interesting or so
Helpless as Young Poult-Fsed.
Inc Of Much Importance.

There is no fowl 80 interesting or 20
unable to care for itself as the young
turkey the nrst ten days or two weeks
OF its life. The young turkeys must
be kept very warm and dry, but not
where the fresh air and sunshine will
be excluded, writes Mrs. ]. ]. England
In the Prairie Farmer. Keep them In
a roomy pen for ten days at least
with floored box or coop for a roost-
ing place. It Is better to have a gem
erous supply Of straw In the coop as
they will keep warmer through cool
nights and damp days. I find the tur-
key hen cares better for the young tur-
key than a foster mother OF chicken
hen. She is more thoughtful and
much longer than the chicken hen.
The secret in turkey raising is keeping
them warm and dry and feeding them
generously for the first two weeks.
For the first few feeds give them
hard boiled eggs with a little black
pepper. with fresh water in very shall
low pans. After the first few feeds
make corn meal loaf by mixing with
sour milk, soda, and large tablespoon
of ginger TO three pints Of milk, add
three eggs. Mix IN thin dough and
bake we'll. Feed this with curds or
cottage cheese" we'll psppered for
two weeks. then small grain may be-
fed.
Keep the shells Of the boiled eggs
crumbled fine in the open so they will
have free access to them. Charcoal is
very good to mix with the shells. Gin
ger acts as a stimulant to the young
turkey and prevents them from becom-
ing weak. II the turkeys get thorough
ly chilled they will be subject to chill
cholera or disentary. A few drops Of
boiled sweet milk with small pinch
OF ginger II given every half hour will
save the turkeys after they have be-
come too weak to care for food. Re
