POULTS MUST BE KEPT DRY
Youngsters Require Good Care and
MISUNDERSTANDING DeWs Are Bad
Keep All Vermln Out.
CRv r G. WEATHERsTONE1

(By r. G.. WEATHERSTONE)
The young turkeys require a good
deal of care and management on the
part Of the raiser to bring them
through.
Keep them free Of vermin. Do not
coddle them too much, but try to keep
them from getting out in the early
morning dews, as they soon become
draggled.
Whenever possible drive them up
when storms are approaching, as they
do not stand much wetting.
1t is an admirable plan to have a
house or big howell facing to the south
and with small Enclosure Of wire net
ting in front, say about ten feet
square.
The young turkeys can exercise in
it before being turned out for the
day, and in rainy spells can be kept
in, which is much better than being
shut up in close howell.
Have the netting high enough to
keep the mother hen in. Fine gravel
or sand makes good flooring for this
little yard.
Always give the turkey hen a good
feed of grain morning and night until
the chicks are at least six weeks old.
This will prevent her ranging too far
for feed.
The chicks will soon learn to eat
broken or cracked corn, wheat or oats.
and when we'll feathered will eat
whole grain of any sort.
After ten weeks they will make
their living on feeding ground, re-
curing only little grain at night to
Induce them to come home to roost.

BOTTLE FOR THE CHICKENS
Keeps Drinking Water for Poultry
Warm in Winter and Cool and
Refreshing in Summer.

A new drinking fountain for fowls
is made on the principle of the Their
mos bottle, and by its use the water
supply in the barnyard is kept cool
in summer and reasonably warm In
winter. This solves one of the great
difficulties of the chicken yard. In the
winter time it is necessary to visit the
chicken yard many times during the
day to supply water to the birds, for the
reason that the usual receptacles made
use of soon freeze up tight and the
chickens are deprived of water. One
might think that by placing warm wa
ter there it would remain in liquid
condition for a greater length of time,
but this has proved to be fallacy, for
it is said that for some reason the
heated water cools off and congeals
as quickly, if not more rapidly, than
the pan in which was placed cold wa
ter. In the summer time, too, there
is the trouble of the water becoming
so warm that II ceases to be refresh
ing. The thermos bottle fountain,

successfully raised without a stream
or pond of water. The fact is, how
ever, that the Indian Runner requires
only sufficient water to drink.
They are usually small feeders as
compared with other ducks. One Pc
kin will consume as much feed as two
Runners and then not be satisfied.
Unlike the former they are great
foragers.
In summer the Indian Runner, when
given free range, will find the great
er part of his living in the fields. But
of course, when being fattened for
market, they need some grain. 1t
would be well to say right here that
for best results the grain should be
either ground or cooked.
A great many would-be duck raisers
fail because they insist upon feeding
the ducks, both old and young, whole
grain.
The matured birds can get along,
but the young ones most certainly
cannot. Don't try to raise ducklings
on whole wheat, cracked corn and
chick feed" They simply cannot d.
gest It. About the only kind Of grit

HINTS FOR THE POULTRYMAN
Facts and Figures Carefully Compiled
and Edted-ExcelIen for
Future Reference.

The following facts and figures
ence. They are not given at random,
but have been carefully compiled and
edited:
It takes about three months to grow
a broiler.
The goose lays a score or two Of
eggs in a year
No brooding-pen should contain over
fifty chicks.
Brothers shrink about half pound
each when dressed.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed
in a barrel for shipment.
The shell of an egg contains about
fifty grains of salt and lime.
From thirty-five to forty ducks and
brakes are allowed in pen.
The duck averages about ten dozen
eggs in about seven months laying.
Build the house 10 by 10 feet for
ten fowls, and the yard ten times
larger.
Ducklings are marketed at five
pound weight, which they attain In
ten weeks.
Ten dozen eggs a year is the aver
age estimate given as the production
of the hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as
an average for the annual output Of
the turkey.
Duck feathers sell at 40 cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double
the amount.
Thirteen eggs are considered a set
ting, though many breeders are now
giving fifteen.
Between forty and fifty degrees Is
the proper temperature to keep eggs
for Matching during winter.
Eggs intended for Matching should
not be kept over four weeks.
1t will require seven pounds OF
skinned milk to equal one pound Of
lean beef for flesh-forming qualities.
One dollar per head is the average
cost OF keeping fowl a year, and the
same amount is fair estimate Of the
profits.
The eggs of the White Leghorn,
Black Minorcas and Houdan are Of
about the same weight as those Of the,
Light Brahma.
To fatten the turkeys, feed whole
corn at night and give them all they
will eat Of other fattening foods IN
the daytime, with plenty Of eiesn
water.

England Resorts To
Use OF Canals During
Crush OF War Traffic

London. Eng, June 26--The war has
brought about a revival OF canal traffic
throughout Great Britain. and the canal
companies are doing better than they
have done in many years This is due
mainly to the congestion OF the rail-
ways and at the ports
Practically the only limit to he traf-
fic available to the canal con- panies is
set by the shortage OF labO and barges
Most Of the younger bargemen Joined
either the army or navy early in the
war, and the canals, like the railways
are frequently compelled to refuse traf-
fic because they cannot find men TO
handle it
