An Excellent Specimen Of the rsvorts American Fowl

The first essential for success with
turkeys is to procure vigorous, healthy
stock from which to breed. These
should preferably be unrelated, al
though / have known some people to
have very good success with hens and
gobbler procured from the same flock,
but would not advise anyone to keep
up this practice, writes Anna Lans-
down In Denver Field and Farm. Tur-
keys should be fed very sparingly dur
ing the breeding season and allowed
to forage for most of their living, as
an overfat condition is likely to re-
suit in soft-shelled eggs and lack of
fertility. 1t is well also to supply
them with ground oyster shells.
] usually set the early turkey eggs
hens lay two clutches before allowing
them to set, excepting that / like to
have one turkey hen hatch off early
and then when the chicken hens leave
their broods she will usually take the
whole flock out foraging for the in
sects which are their natural food, and
upon which they thrive best. The
eggs may be tested out the same as
chicken eggs, although it is well to
wait until the seventh day before test
ing. In dry weather it is a good plan
to pour cupful of lukewarm water
in the nest once week. The little
turks are not as able to stand cold as
little chickens, and If the weather is
chilly and stormy when they are
Matched it is well to keep them in a
box in the house at first.
Great care should be taken to keep
their coops and especially their sleep
ing quarters dry, as dampness is likely
to be fatal to them. They should also
be cleaned frequently. When Matched
under chicken hens I keep them up
in coops until they are week old,
then let them run loose for an hour or

miles Of really good road in all the
AZ states. The trouble with highway
construction is that often waste and
graft get together.
The association has been doing some
market figuring, and 1t finds that 49,.
600 miles of real highway, around the
centers of population, would reduce
the cost of living as we'll as add to
the enjoyment of living. A system is
proposed whereby each of the states
could undertake the construction of
500 or 600 miles of highway each year.
Thus in twelve years or SO, with the
10000 miles of road already improved,
the nation would possess the nucleus
of fine market system. These roads,
radiating from the centers of consump-
ton, could easily be connected with
the trunk highways that are now being
constructed in all parts of the coun-
try, largely as result of the activity
of motor clubs.
Concentration in Washington might
mean unity and coordination, but IL
would also mean increased appropria.
tions. The work belongs to the states.
1t was not, says the highway associa-
ton, until 1891, that the state Of New
Jersey took the initiative, and three
years later established a department
of public roads. Since then other
states have followed in form, but hard
ly in spirit. The association places In
diana in the list of lazy common
wealths. For all the fine gravel roads
1t possessed a few years ago, Indiana
can, apparently, no longer be regarded
as leader in highway improvement.

to eight or nine parts of water when
ready to apply.
One part boiled lime sulphur made
exactly as for orchard spraying may
be mixed with eight parts of water,
and the commercial stock dips may be
used in accordance with printed direc-
tions usually furnished with them.
Strong tea made by boiling tobacco
stems in water gives good results, and
embarrassing should not be neglected.
Spray pumps Of many different sizes
and types will give good results.
Bucket pumps, knapsack sprayers, and
automatic sprayers will be useful in
the garden and orchard as well as in
the henhouse, although a longer hose
or extension rod will be needed in the
orchard, A barrel pump or power
sprayer may be used with good re-
suits If it is already on hand, but is
more expensive than the average farm
needs for henhouse work.

SUNSHINE FOR POULTRY MITE
Ono of Best Disinfectants as Well as
Great Foe to lnsect-keep the
Henhouse Clean.

Everyone knows the gray poultry
mite which takes on distinct reddish
cast after the meal Of blood. 1t Is
commonest in dark, damp, dirty poul-
try houses where it thrives upon filth,
and the logical remedies recommend
ed by T. J. Talbert of the Missouri
college of agriculture are sunshine,
ventilation, and cleanliness. The hem
house should be SO constructed that
it can easily be kept clean and that
there will be no cracks or crevices In
the roosts or elsewhere to furnish
hiding places for the mite during the
daytime when they are not on the
fowls. They feed at night, crawling
from fowl to fowl, SO that one infest-
ed bird may introduce them into the
entire flock.
Sunshine is one Of the best disin-
fectants as well as a great foe to the
mite. and it should be given access to
just as much Of the henhouse as pos
sible. Regular spraying with kero-
sene emulsion, strong tobacco solu-
lions, or commercial stock dips will
help greatly Commercial lime sulphur
and miscible oils put on the market
in such form that they will mix read
lily with water for use in spraying
orchards are also helpful in combat
ing the mite.
One application is not enough and
the spray should be repeated in about
a week in order to kill the young
which may have developed from the
eggs laid about the roosts or in the
filth before the first spraying. 1t
should be applied with sufficient force
to penetrate all cracks and crevices.
Kerosene emulsion properly pre-
pared at home will give as good re-
suits as anything which can be pur-
chased. Mr.. Talbert gives the fol-
lowing directions for making it: Dis
solve half pound of laundry soap,
or a pound OF I've soap, in gallon
of soft water; take the solution off
the fire and add two gallons of kero-
Bene before cooling. Mix them thor
oughiy by churning ten or fifteen min
stes and use one part of the emulsion

two the first day and an hour or so
longer each day until they are strong
enough to run out all day. The chick
en- hen, being more fussy and rapid in
her movements than a turkey hen,
seems to time them too much IL this
care is not taken. For feed / give
them hard-boiled eggs chopped fine
when / have tested out the eggs on
hand, but my main dependence Is
mixture of yellow corn meal and curd
made from milk. This should be mixed
to firm consistency, not sloppy, and
no more should be given than they
will eat up clean in ten minutes. II
too much is given them they will over
eat, become droopy and lose appetite.
also give them plenty Of chopped
chives, or dandelions, of which they
are extremely fond and may have all
they will eat.
While they are In coops feed about
once in two hours, but after they run
loose they will pick up good deal
of their living. Millet or steel-cut oats
may also be fed. If sudden rains come
up they must be looked after, as it
does not take great deal of rain
to chill them until they are helpless.
After the poults are one or two months
old they become stronger and harder
and will not require much care. One
great cause of trouble with turkeys
is overlooking, which is apt to induce
liver trouble. After they are large as
much grain as they will eat up clean
in ten minutes, fed twice day, is
usually enough, and in the breeding
season once day is better. Even
when fattening for market purposes
grain should not be left where they
can have access to 1t most of the time
or sickness is likely to result. Where
grasshoppers abound the birds will
aid greatly in keeping them down and
there is nothing on which turkeys
thrive better.

Avoid Moth Ball Nest Eaas.

Nest eggs are not necessary, but If
any are used, they should be Of china.
Moth ball nest eggs or those made of
other substances that give OF odors
sufficiently strong to keep lice away,
should not be used in nests, as the
doors will affect the quality Of the
eggs. Moth ball nest eggs especially
give the eggs camphorlike taste
that make them unfit for eating.
