it is thoroughly done. The bird should
be laid on its back and the dust should
be well worked into the feathers un-
der the wings. around the head and
tail, particularly along the coarse
feathers of the wings and tail.
Turkeys cannot be raised with GER
tainty unless confined within stock
ade containing plenty of room. If al
lowed to run in the woods or fields with
out the most careful herding, they will
soon fail to come home at night, and
quickly fall victim to storms and ro-
dents. Within the stockade they must
be carefully watched and be brought
to shelter when a storm approaches.
If the young poults are allowed to be-
come wet and draggled in the rain
and wet grass, they quickly fall vic
tins to roup and other troubles of this
kind. If carefully watched and fed,
they will soon learn to return to the
house at night with the mother hen
where they must be confined and pro-
tected against rats and other maraud-
ers. 1t is not a good plan, however,
to shut up turkeys in a close house.
The entire front should be left open,
being covered only with poultry wire.

So much depends upon the start the
lamb gets in his first two or three
weeks that we are justified in spend
ing as much time as we can possibly
spare in looking after the flock during
lambing time. If the weather is cold
and raw, the mortality among the
lambs is going to be much greater than
it will be if the weather is mild
through April.
The April lamb has much better
chance to do well than the lamb that
is dropped earlier in the season. How
ever, if they come on chilly, damp
day, it will pay the owner to be near
at hand, where he will have a chance
to see that the youngster gets his first
drink of milk as soon as possible. That
will keep the new lamb from chilling,
and when he is once chilled, he is
sometimes pretty hard to get back on
his feet.
Where the lamb really gets a chill
ling, the best remedy is a bucket or a
tub filed with water. well warmed,
writes Louis G. Hall of Kansas in the
Farm Progress. Place the lamb in
this for a few minutes, take him out,
rub him dry and bundle him up un-
der a stove or near a warm fire till
he is warmed all the way through.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
milk flow of the eve be kept up after
the lambs arrival. Where you have a
few roots to feed before the grass
comes, these will work wonders In
stimulating the milk. Roots and a lit
tie grain will insure plenty of milk,
and know of no grain that can equal
oats in eve feeding.
When there is some doubt as to
whether the eve is giving the lamb
enough, always fall back on bran as a
part of the ration. Bran will stimulate
the milk flow in the eve just as sue
cessfully as it does for the dairy COW,
and it should be kept up as long as
The citizen., 1914-04-24

it is needed. OF course, there is usu-
ally very little trouble after the grass
comes.
Plenty of clover hay or alfalfa along
with little mixed bran and oats will
keep the lambs growing. That is a
point to be considered. / am certain
that lamb that once gets real check
in his growth never grows OUT just
as he should OF course the eve must
be kept in as good general condition
as possible. Before grass comes there
is usually some trouble from constipa-
will relieve this condition and keep
the eve from letting up in her milk
production.
The eve is inclined to be little fe-
verish after lambing, and about all she
needs for the first day is little hay
and plenty of water. For the first
week or ten days she should be
watched for any indications that the
udder is caking and given quick atten-
tion when trouble is found.
Within a couple of weeks after they
are dropped, healthy lambs will begin
to try to eat. They will nibble. around
the trough when their mothers are fed
and they should be taught to eat at
that time if you wish to crowd them
along and get them ready for the fall
markets.
The best plan is to fence off little
feeding place for them where they will
not be bothered by the older animals.
One corner of the lot can be set apart
for them. Fix the fence SO the open
ings will be large enough to admit
the lambs and shut the old sheep out
Feed them cracked corn or at least see
that it is shelled, as they will not be
able to get the grains off the cob
Where oats, bran, wheat, barley or
any combinations of these grains are
fed, the ration will need no special
preparation.

MEXICAN FEEDING

Successful Turkey Raisers Cook
Everything Fed Turkeys

Mexicans, who are successful tur-

ined for lice. The best remedy is
lard and pulverized sulphur in a pro-
portion Of about one-fourth sulphur to
three-fourths lard. This must be used
sparingly, by rubbing little of the
mixture on the top of the head. among
the pin feathers of the wings and
around the tail, and also along the In
side of the wings and about the
thighs
If the poults do not seem to thrive
well in week or two, they should be
again examined because more young
turkeys die from lice, perhaps, thar
