TURKEYS A SOURCE
OF PROFIT ON farm

My many years. experience with tur-
keys, my close study of turkey nature
and habits, convince me that there are
a few great essentials that must be
considered If success is realized.
First of all. there is no way like ma
lures way with turkeys. writes cor
respondent Of the Kansas Farmer. Ar.
tificial incubation and brooding. close
yarding and heavy feeding and many
intensive" methods may be successful
with chickens and ducks. But not so
with turkeys. Long. nice sounding ar
ticles. to be sure. can be read almost
any day in the poultry journals advo-
eating these very things. But my own
experience and observation. as well as
the hundreds Of letters get from poul-
try people each year giving touches Of
their experience, all convince me that
close yarding of either breeding stock
or young floeks. close roosting quarters
and heavy feeding Of grain put more
people out of the turkey business than
all other causes.
The turkey, by its needs and nature.
is the fowl of the farm. Range and the
opportunity to balance its own ration
in the form of grass. insects. grains.

be the best winter layers, starting
their regular production when five or
six months old. Hens year older
will rank next. Do not keep hens
more than two winters unless they are
superior for breeding purposes. They
will not produce many eggs, compared
to pullets, but If they have been great
producers it is well to retain few of
them for couple Of years longer.
Nothing new can be said about the
manner Of housing poultry. The build
ings must be dry and clean, well venti.
lated and free from drafts. Open front
houses give the best ventilation. A
floor can be made dry without great ex-
pense. 1t is a good plan to fill in the
foundation with small stones and
gravel to insure drainage. This can be
covered with earth or cement. Board
floors are favored by some owners.
One Of the first points in cleanliness is
to have feeding room separate from
the roosting quarters. Nests are better
in the feeding room than close to the
roosts. 10 have any success worth
while the premises must be kept free
from vermin. This is not difficult. but
it requires persistent effort and watch.
fulness. Anybody who will not give
heed to this injunction should keep out
Of the poultry business.
The principles which govern feeding
are no less important than the others.
but fortunately it is not necessary to
have a great proportion Of the higher
priced grains. One great essential is
variety One gets u balanced ration
most suitable for egg production by
providing a regular supply Of green
food to go with dry material through
the winter months. 1t is easy to pro-
vide sprouted oats. cabbage or beets
1t Is also necessary and easy to keep
the chickens supplied with meat scrap
and ground bone. Taking one season
with another. no grains are cheaper
than corn and oats. but 1t is best to
have the oats clipped or ground and
the corn cracked.
Where a certain amount Of green
feed is regularly supplied it is hardly
necessary to give wet mashes. A dry
mash fed in hoppers Is preferable. At
the same time warm mash Of mois.
tened bran and shorts is not bad
thing on a cold day. A small supply
of skimmilk improves the poultry
house diet and is cheap. The stale
bread and crackers obtainable at res
taurants and bakeries cost little a1d
to some extent take the place Of
grain. Clean water and grit should be
within reach at all times. Charcoal
and oyster shell are excellent articles
for poultry. 1t Is best to have clean
scratching floor for chickens, and ev-
cry morning the fowls should be re-
quired to scratch in litter Of straw or
chaff for wheat. corn. sunfOwer seeds
and such things. This gives whole
some exercise. See that the laying
hens are not too fat. but they must be
kept vigorous and hearty. In supply
ing feed according to these suggestions
one cannot 60 far astray.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. 6. BOWSFIELD

Tell us how to get winter eggs and
we will rise up and call you blessed"
This sentence is in a letter received
from a woman poultry owner.
The failure to get eggs in winter.
when they are high priced, is a COM
mon experience. and 1t Il one Of the
bad phases Of the poultry business.
Experts who have brought their hens
up to a profitable basis are getting
eggs most Of the year, and what q few
have done many more can do. It Is
not a matter Of luck at all. A regu-
lar system Of management must be fol-
lowed.
Any general purpose breed or any Of
the small egg producing breeds will
answer the requirements Of the aver
age poultry owner. In view Of the
importance Of marketing a certain pro-
portion Of poultry meat every season
it may be best to adopt one Of the
medium sized breeds, such as Plymouth
Rock. Wyandotte, Orpington, or Rhode
Island Reds. 1t is worth keeping in
mind that in all the great egg laying
contests in recent years these fowls
have more than held their own with
the Leghorns. Whatever stock is de-
cided on. it is best to work toward full
blooded poultry.
Select eggs for Matching from chick
ems Of high productive capacity and
hatch in March. Then select pullets
to the desired number for the follow
ing winter and give some attention all
summer to their condition. Keep only
vigorous, healthy chickens. Make them

hen will make a better job of it. If
possible give the poults to turkey

her off in an orchard away from

there. If young turkeys droop look

A FABLE

From the New York Tribune.
 One upon a time there was Great Big Lummix named Sam. When he was born back in 1776 he was a puny young ster, but owing to the fact that he had a Splendid Constitution and plenty to eat he developed rapidly. He was a healthty chap; the only serious illness he had was some internal disorder-back ok in 1S61 Since then he had been loafing along, eating a lot, growing fat and wealthy; developing his mind, but not his body. One day Willie, the pugnacious chap who lives across the way, punched him in the stomach. Don't do that said Sam 'I don't like it." But Willie laughed good-naturedly and hit him again. Now, there was a nasty little boy named Fran cisco Who lived down in the alley and when he saw how the Great Big Lummix was being treated by Willie he thought he would like to get in the game, so he stepped on Sammy's toe Sammy became greatly enraged at his presumption and started after Francisco, vowing to punish him. But Francisco was a nfmble little fellow and ran off, and Sam found that he had grown so fat that he couldn't catch him.
 Query: What would happen to Sam if Willie became really angry?

SQUIRRELS AND MEN

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 A lccal student of animal life discovers that the squirrels in a Cleveland park have been fed so liberally by residents in the neighborhood that they no longer store Erovender after the manner of their kind. They have grown lazy, flabby and contented. The observation is interesting and suggestive enough to be true.
 Men are good deal like squirrels in this respect. They, too. get lazy and con tented if fed with the product of others toll. Fer men. as for squirrels, sef-sup port is likely to be the purchase price of self-respeet.
 The good things that a moral human be- ing enjoys most are those for which he has toiled into which he has poured cop ious drafts of sweat from his own brow. Modern charity is built on the truth it. lustrated by these lazy squirrels-the truth that the best service society can do the victims of poverty and misfortune is to bring them back to a self-supporting basis
 There is not much poetry or romence in park squirrel pampered by kind ness till it has lost the primal instincts of its race. Neither is there much that is adnirable in an adult human creature who congumes merely what another pro- duceS.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Frederick Palmer, in a recent article on conscription, alludes scornfully to the hitherto popular fallacy that this institu- ton takes two valuable years out of a young mans life" This is one of the superstitions with which it is difficult to be patient In the face of the achieve tific, of the peoples that long since adopted conscription, one cannot treat this theory with respect.
 It should be remembered that formerly the same or similar balderdash was talked about university education. But uni versity men outstrip many of their com petitors who had not wasted four pre- cious years" in college. This, too in the face of the prejudice that used to prevail against college men in office, shop, and factory
 If Germans are able to give two years to army service and win place within quarter of a century as one of the fore most maritime and trading nations of the earth, cannot Americans serve their coun- try for reasonable period without drop ping into the industrial rearguard? Is there some peculiar quality some unique defect in the character of Americans that would make conscription a drawback to them and not to other nations?
 This fallacy is lazy mans argument, an ignoble argument. sordid argument, even if it were not so false.

Tobacco Growing in Alabama

T would like you to see the March number of The Right Way our serv- ice magazine" said D. T. Blake, city ticket agent of the Central of Georgia, in the Brown Marx building. Few people realize that bright leaf tobacco bids fair to become a profitable farm activity in southern Alabama, but such is the case
 "This months issue gives picture of a fine field of tobacco raised last year at Lockhart Ala, under the ci- rection of J. A. Winslow, our tobacco culturist, and scene showing the stringing of tobacco on the farm of MT. Deese at Columbia. It is being demonstrated that if the Alabama farmers will get crop out early and under favorable weather conditions for growing, they can make as good to- bacco as can be grown in South Caro- lima and with normal prices secure larger profit per acre than was pos- sible with cotton, even before the ad- vent of the boil weevil."

An "After-pinner. Story

q remember the last lie I ever told, said Dr. Henry M Edmonds, in the course oe his address before visiting real estate men at the Tutwiler hotel Sunday aft ernocn, "and I resolved at that time l would never tell another-and I haven't.
 If you recall, it used to be the custom to give all small boys some kind of tonic in the spring. My grandmother was supplying me on this occasion, ana the medicine she poured for me was more than usually vile. She was near-sighted and as she turned to replace the bottle stepped to the door and spit it out without swallowing any of it. She ac- cused me of splitting it out. but l told Ter I did not, and insisted that l was telling the truth.
 q went to bed. Later in the night the entire family swooped down on me in force. I washed my feet I protested. My father hurried for a physician, who soon arrived, and I was told that my grandmother had given me laudanum by mistake instead of the herb tonic. I said, oh, that's all right. spit it out No you didn't, said my father.
 My mother stood in one corner of the room and my grandmother stood in the other. My grandmother had bucket of soapsuds, and my mother held bucket of melted lard. The doctor and my father held me between them and rushed from one corner to the other and lard and soapsuds were forced down me. At every other step between the corners. l walled, I spit it out and at every other step my father shook me and said, Throw up, sir! Throw up, sir.
 q resolved never to tell another lie. Incidentally, that is the only real after dinner story ever told.'

Rebuilding East Nashville

Replying to the question, Will East Nashville be rebuilt?" the Banner takes an optimistic view of the sltua- ton and thinks that the burned dis trict will be speedily restored and the work of reconstruction will begin new era of prosperity. That kind of optimism works wonders and there is every reason to believe that the Ban ner's prediction will soon be verified.
 As the Banner points out, the burned district lies in one of the prin- cipal residential parts of the city. The streets are we'll paved, three car lines furnish passenger transportation, sewers, water mains, gas, electricity and telephone connection are already provided and it will only be necessary to rebuild the homes that were de stroyed. What may be called the aground work" is already there. East Nashville is connected with the west ern part of the city by two bridges and seems in every way ideally suited for residences.
 The Warner school and three churches which were destroyed will be rebuilt and as the greater number of houses burned were insured, there is no reason why the programme of re- building should not be quickly carried out. The fire made broad path through the heart of East Nashville, laying waste homes, churches and schools, but thickly settled blocks ex- tend for long distances on either side of the burned area and the gap will not be permitted to remain open. The
