One great problem is to get scattered

MANAGING THE TURKEY
ALL HAVE STREAK OF WILDNESS
IN THEIR NATURES.
Birds viii Not Do Well If There Is
Too Much Management in Rails
lna-Free Range Is One of Most
important Factors.

The turkey is the only one of our
domestic fowls that originated in.
America. While the chicken has been
bred up from the wild jungle cocks
and hens of Southern Asia, the white
men found the turkey here when they
came. And the turkey has changed
very little in the three or four CEN
turtles since the first Caucasian came
to America.
Turkeys all have a streak Of wild
ness In their natures. A turkey hen
will always do better when she is al
lowed to steal her nest. If left undis-
turbed she will bring on much bet
ter matches than if interfered with by
welI-meaning poultry keepers, says g.
Kentucky writer in Farm Progress.
These wild birds resent interference,
and many times l have known them
to desert thier nests when molested.
I always let them alone until after
the brood has been brought OH. In
their wild state they are able to rear
their young very well, as they run in
woods and along streams where the
underbrush and weeds do not inter
fere with them. In fields and around
farm houses it is best to keep them
up for a week or ten days after hatch
ing. The young turks are not able to
stand being dragged through wet grass
and weeds wet with dew.
Anyone who understands turkey ma
ture can make some profit from the
breeding of these birds if there is room
for them to have considerable range.
As a bird for yards and coops- the tur-
key is distinctly out of place. 1 have
never known anyone to raise them
successfully in confinement, and doubt
If such thing is possible.
Akin to Wild Turkey.
The bronze turkey is very closely
akin to the wild turkeys still found
in small f1ocks in various parts of the
country When Columbus returned
to Spain after his first voyage to
America he took with him few OF
these beautiful birds. Later voyagers
took a great many of them to Spain
and from there they were taken to
England
The Old World has been raising these
domesticated birds longer than we
ment and breeding have failed to breed
all the wildness out of their natures.
The bronze turkey, direct descend
ant of the wild turkeys of tropical
and subtropical America, is the larg
est of these birds now grown. The
old traits of wildness, caution and g
tendency to hide when about to set
are still characteristic of the bird
Some of the bronze turkeys reach g
weight of As pounds, which seems
greater than any birds of the wild
varieties. Careful and selective breed
ing has increased the weight and deep
ened the colorings and plumage mark
ings.
Dark eyes, coppery bronze and
glistening black plumage, offset and
heightened by white markings at the
feather tips, are some Of the mos
notable characteristics of the bronz'
turkey. The basic color of the plumagt
is black, and over this plays a comb
nation OF iridescent green's and coz
perry lights.

roots to vary the monotony
Do not pamper the stallion too
much. He can be worked lightly
every day to advantage. A fvemile
walk does a stallion no good Give
him a brisk drive.
Is your horse a cribber? Then give
him away.
The best horse we ever owned was
a Morgan mare whose mother died
when the colt was three weeks old.
She was raised by hand on cows milk,
molasses and corn meal until she was
old enough to take her place at the
trough.
When your neighbor sells a colt
for $50, and you can only get SIS for
yours, although it is the same age,
and just as big. you will probably wish
your stud fee had been a little larger.

Feed ReIished by Chicks.

Give the chicks plenty OF green
food, sprouted oats, or tender grass.
also some fine beef scraps or some
raw meat cut up fine. They relish the
latter and it does them much good,
answering the same purpose as in
sects. Keep the little ones busy by
feeding the ground grain feeds in the
litter and feed them four or I'VE times
daily.
