METHOD OF RAISING TURKEYS
Most Attention Must Be Paid to Con-
stitutionaI Vigor Of Breeding
Stock-Give Free Range.
(By c. M'CLELLAND)

The methods employed in raising
turkeys differ in no great degree from
those in use in raising chickens. The
most attention mus. be paid to consti.
tutional vigor of the breeding stock,
care Of the eggs and to the care of the
very young poults. While general
principles are much the same, there
are some important variations that
must be noted. The birds must have
more range. If given absolute free
dom they manage to pick their own
living with but little expense to their
owners, but if closely confined they
require an enormous amount of feed,
and do not get sufficient exercise for
proper and quick development. Dur
ing the breeding season the mature
birds must not have absolute freedom
since better results are obtained when
they are under better control.
Most breeders recommend placing
the first eggs under hens, making the
turkeys lay more before allowing
them to set A common hen can
cover we'll only about nine turkey
eggs, while a turkey hen may be
given as many as IS. Other breed
ers recommend that all turkey eggs
be Matched under common hens. but
that the young poults be given to tur.
Key hens to raise, for the common
hens do not range enough to give the
young birds the exercise they need,
and they generally overfeed them.
Turkey hens may be given fifteen to
twenty-five young birds to raise. Pen
them closely for few days until they
answer the call of the turkey hen.
after which they may be given their
liberty in the mornings after the dew
is on, making sure that all are housed
again safely at night The main points
In the care of the poults IRE not to
let them get wet during the first few
weeks, to keep the lice from them, to
allow them to get plenty of exercise,
green feed, bugs, etc, and never to
overfeed them. To keep them free of
lice, dust them with insect powders
once weekly until six weeks old, after
which they will be able to use dust
baths to advantage. 1t is recommend.
ed also to grease the mature hens on
the breasts and under the wings with
bacon grease, kerosene and lard, or
other lice ointment.
Artificial incubation is much the
same as for chicken eggs, 2S days,
however, being required. Moisture
must be supplied during the entire
period. After SO to 4S hours the young
turkeys may be fed corn bread, wheat
bread soaked in milk and pressed
nearly dry, cottage cheese, hard.
boiled eggs, ETC.. with plenty of ten
der green feed, q little pepper and
some grit. They should be fed four
or five times daily for a few days,
then the number of feeds may be re-.
duced to three, and II they have
plenty Of range two feeds will be-
sufficient. Feed in limited amounts.
never giving all they want. Gradually
Introduce chick feed, finely cracked
grains, and small grains into the IA.
ton as the poults develop and when
i've or six months old corn can be
fed.

The Plymouth Rocks, especially the
barred variety, generally rank among
the most hardy breeds. There is but
one danger line in their keeping, and
that is in the tendency to overfatten.
The Plymouth Rocks are more sus-
ceptible to this than any other Amer
lean breed
Close inbreeding is one of the curses
of the hennery. The market poultry
man, in order to have quick growing
and hardy stock, changes his male
birds every year. The fancier can
not we'll do that, or he will lose the
good results of his mating.

Yet the fancier, if he be a practical
man, can SO inbred as not to be in
danger. With all that, however, the
less inbreeding the better for the fu-
ture generations.
Mongrels are a product of a vari-
ETY. of bloods, and it is more difficult
to inbred them to any serious ex-
tent. They will not show it as quick
ly as purebred, as the latter is bred
more in line.
There is no reason why pure
bred should not be perfectly hardy.
And they will if they are not too close
ly inbred or fed too heavily. A. rs.
