RAISING A PROFITABLE
BRANCH OF POULTRY IN
DUSTRY.
Written for Southern Poultry Review
by Flynn Elliott, Charlotte, N. C.

Every farm has enough insect life
on it to produce a large flock of tur-
keys. They usually sell at twenty to
twenty-five cents pei pound during
the holiday aso and yield a haAd-
some profit to those who succeed In
raising a flock Of them.
A great many people seem to think
that it is next to impossible to raise
turkeys. This is a mistaken idea;
they can be raised in large numbers if
given special attention from the time
they are Matched till they are six
weeks old. One of the first require
ments for success in breeding turkeys
is the proper selection of birds for
breeding purposes. Carelessness in
the selection of breeding stock has
given no end of trouble in the breed
ing of turkeys.
The birds used as breeders should
be strong and healthy, of good medi-
um size. The male may be a yearling
or older. Do not imagine that the
large, overgroWn males r the best
to breed from. Strength, health and
vigor, with well-proportioned medium

Magnitude of the Industry.

The gross proceeds from the sale Of
eggs in the United States has been es-
timated at $500. 0OO. 900. 90. Allowing
that the gross sales of fowls and other
products amount to $380,000 900. 90, we
have an industry reaching a billion
dollars in it's annual gross proceeds.
This is probably below the actual
figures. Such an industry is worthy
of more encouragement than it is re-
cefving and poultrymen everywhere
should be more urgent in their claims
fer State and national recognition.

CURIOUS TOWERS OF CHINA

The Chinese for ages back have
been great road builders In stone. The
wall surrounding China is not only
one Of the wonders of the world from
a scenic standpoint. but 1t Is likewise
a huge engineering undertaking.
China has many curious stone towers
scattered throughout the country. In
some Of these structures, built pre-
sumably for defensive purposes and
idol-worship centuries ago, the archi-
tectural features are attractive, and
the masonry Is m%arvelously carried
out. The floor and foundations, as In
the case of the towers themselves, are
OF solid stone, and the winds and
storms of hundreds Of years have not
swayed the high mass Of material out
of plumb, so there are, so far as re-
corded, no leaning towers In China
Somehow on many Of these old struc'
lures vegetation finds soil enough to
sprout in, regardless Of the fact that
the eyesight reveals nothing but
crumbling stone and mortar.

GREATEST OF HOUSE-HUNTERS

Lecturing on marine biology at the
Royal Photographic society's exhibi-

that the greatest house-hunter in Gre
alton was the hermit crab. It was
never satisfied with its whelk-shell,
and was continually abandoning 1t for
another. 1t was an amusing sight, on
placing q couple of these crabs in an
aquarium, in which they had a selec-
ton of whelk-shells, to watch the man.

tenant had to be content with the dis
carded she'll Of the victor. But within
a quarter of an hour the victor would
grow dissatisfied with his new shell
and would renew hostilities for the
possession of his old quarters.

Midsummer PAINTINGS.

A good many of the short season
garden products a still be planted.
Onion sets will mature nicely before
frost II planted now, and onion seed
can be planted and harvested as onion
sets ready for planting next year.
Radishes should be planted every two
or three weeks as late as September.
There Is no reason why you can
not have a steady supply Of radishes
for your table until the frost.
Good late crops Of lettuce and spin
ach may be had by planting now.
Although peas will not grow well in
the hot weather, a very excellent late
crop may be had by planting the seed
about four inches deep In drills two
feet apart at this time of the year.
This will insure deep roots and hardy
plants.
The general rule for midsummer
planting is to keep the plants well
shaded during the hot part Of the day
| This means, Of course, protection from
the sun, as it is quite necessary fol-
the plants to get the morning and
| evening sun. II you have no natural
shade in your garden, and do not
want to go to the trouble Of building
| artificial shade for the midday sun,
still good results can be had by plant
ing your seed quite deeply. Plants
put In at this time Of year must be
kept thoroughly watered, and Of
course cultivation is an e%ver-present
necessity.

early in the spring. This is . vain
able and perfectly feasible practice
where the driver knows his business
and protects the horse from sudden
changes and bad weather, but it h
safer to follow the half clipping plan
for most horse owners. until warm
weather has come to stay, and with
its advent most Of the reason for clip
ping horses departs.
Pneumonia and kindred diseases are
more prevalent at this time Of year
than at any other, and this prevalence
is due more to changing seasons m
work than to any other one cause. AS
far as possible, avoid getting your
horses too warm. and protect them
carefully while they are cooling and
drying of. While 1t Is desirable to
get them dry as soon as possible after
stopping work, they must not run any
risk of chilling while drying.
Where horses have box stalls or can
roll around on an ample supply Of dry
bedding they will dry out fairly soon.
If there are a large number Of them
in the same room, means must be pro-
vided to drain the liquid manure from
the stall floors as fast as possible,
and the stable room must be thor
oughly ventilated, without drafts.
Horses which are clipped all over
do not suffer from the first warm
weather as much as unclipped or part
ly clipped horses. They perspire less,
and hence dry off faster. For this
very reason 1t is necessary to blanket
them carefully during cool weather In
order to keep them from drying too
rapidly and contracting colds.
With the opening of the spring sea-
son many horses which have been do
ing but light work during the winter
will be required to start in doing q
full days work. and this change will
be made very suddenly. AS a result,
they will develop the various troubles
that afflict green horses, and 1t is we'll
to take all possible precautions
against such troubles. Start them In
as easily as possible, increasing the

Care of Horses.

It is a very good practice to clip
horses, partly or in whole, at this
time of the year. We believe that the
European custom Of clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come,
is rather better than our own usual
method Of either clipping all v or
stopping just above the knees and
hooks. Any clipping which frees the
lower part of the horses body from
long hair is a decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts, and this Is
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
than to W. the horse.
Half clipping allows what mud ad'
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-

rapidly, Nature Is surprised by the
first warm weather in the spring. the
horse still has his heavy coat. of win

his ordinary work. Most of the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly

vapor If this can be overcome, thu

off with comparative ease. The onl!
way to overcome it at this time o
year is to clip the lower half Of all o

BEST FOOD FOR BROOD S0WS
SKINNED Milk Mixed With Wheat
Bran or Ground Oats Is Excellent
Ration for Shoats.

The best food for brood sows is
skinned milk mixed with wheat bran
or ground oats. Boiled roots mixed
with wheat bran and wheat middlings
Is a healthy and economical food.
The brood SOW should be kept In good
condition, but not fat. Corn is not a
suitable food; a few ear of corn
may be fed after the slop is eaten, II
the SOW Is thin. A small grass pas
ture should adjoin the pens; let them
have the use Of this pasture every
suitable day: she needs exercise.
Well-cured clover hay, cut fine and
mixed in the millfeed slop, will reduce
t. grain ration. See that the pens
are clean and dry; give a warm
bed Of straw or leaves-leaves make
tn, best bed for pigs. The hogs
should not be kept in dirty yards or
! allowed to run In the yard with stock.
Never let the hogs burrow in the
fermenting manure, as it Is certain
to give them lung disease and skin
disease. If the hogs cannot have q
grass pasture they should have raw
roots and freshly dug grass sods
every day. Give plenty Of fresh.
clean water and a liberal supply OF
burnt wood, wood ashes and coal.
The best food for shoats is equal
quantities of ground oats and peas
boiled and mixed with wheat bran
Give the slop luke warm in cold
weather. Have feed trough clean
No rancid slop should be fed. A
well-bred SOW that will rear a littel
Of pigs and is a good mother is worth
$50. Have a separate pen for eacf
sow. Make a fender rail around the
pen to prevent the SOW from crushing
the young pigs. Sows will farrow II
weeks after being served.
