POULTRY YARD NOTES.

1t is not SO generally recognized.
| nevertheless a fact, that one of the cru
cial phases of the turkeys development
begins in October. The climatic change
is strenuous. At the same time ma
ture withdraws from them her abun-
dant summer provision. To weather
the change they need renewed atten-
tion. Too many raisers linger in the
lap of laxity and fail to provide for
the Increasing needs of the october
flock. These are they who note with
disappointment the tardy conditioning
of their birds while energetic neishbors
are making an early market and pock-
citing the proceeds.
To make the most of ones flock the
turkeys must be taken in hand carry in
the fall The normal May-hatched turk
begins September with more plumage
than flesh, relatively speaking His
long legs have galloped over long dis
tances mainly in the interests of feath-
ers and muscle. Thereafter his greater
development tends to round out the
angles to build a tempting table fowl.
The draught upon the birds vitality
made by feathers is only half realized.
1t accounts Tor the scanty fund of re-
serve strength in birds under three
months of age.
Experienced growers begin early to
fill the deficiency by feeding with an
eye to making candidates for the
Thanksgiving shipment. This Is the
choicest market. as rule. 1t can be
depended upon to be insuficiently sup
piled with select birds and ready to
give good prices for plump fowls. The
advantage of early clearance Of ones
flock OF of it's best members is OBJ
vious AT any rate, neglect at the be-
ginning of fall may delay shipment till
beyond Christmas. since growth pro-
ceeds slowly in cold weather. Prolonged
feeding diminishes profits. Efficiency in
marketing turkeys means shipping
within reasonable period after fatten-
ing begins.
AS trees with the close of summer
gradually retract their sap. so turkeys
begin to restrict their peregrinations
to haunts near home. Orchards offer
special attractions, yet they also ac-
count for more losses among turkeys
than any one superficially considering
the matter might suppose. Birds at
that age are popularity considered
safe" Pears. peaches and apples are
eaten to excess. Pale wattles, Ian

more susceptible. They are suffering

Turkeys are sometimes troubled with
vermin at this time. If droopy and
without appetite, the raiser may sus-
pect the presence of parasites: Some
where in their wanderings the birds
may have happened upon infested
perches. Roasting in the vicinity of
infested fowls is usually responsible
for these troublesome pests. If neglect
ed they hasten the work of disease.
Blackhead and ailments similar in
symptoms and effect are caused by
overfeeding of corn during the fall,
particularly new, immature or moldy
corn. A reduction in the amount given
or total withdrawal is advisable.
The classic roost for turkeys is the

they seek more protection. 1t is
preferable to tight house, for turkeys
must have unrestricted ventilation. The

built of fence boards with three-iEch
spaces, is ample for 100 turkeys. This
defends them from inclement weather
and from enemies, yet it is freely VEN
tilated.
rev CnallenSe tne TACT InaI
Bronzes make the finest specimens for
market If turkeys be subject to va
rious setbacks. such as shortened sea-
son or limited range, the smallboned
breeds, such as the Bourbon Red and
the Slate, are more satisfactory. In
shorter time they become rounder and
plumper. and when dressed borrow an
additional attraction from the inherent
creaminess of their flesha These latter
varieties at the cost of size are de-
pendable for an earlier market
Not size so much as plumpness rules
the market for securing best prices. A
gawky gobbler may outweigh a plump
pullet, but will undersell it by several
cents a pound. Inscriptions merchants
dub them "old Toms" Therefore it
behooves the raiser to- ship only the
best. Thin. rough, immature or UNDER
sized birds embarrass the commission
man and sell at sacrifice. If held over
on the farm, they acquire condition and
finally command reasonable returns.
The season of 191j-1916 was particu-
larly propitious for, such hold-overs,
high prices being wen sustained.
The objective Of special fall care is
plumpness. weight and size in the or

Storage Supply Short.

Following disastrous experiences of
the last two or three seasons, storage
men have>been extremely careful about
buying eggs for storage against the
late fall and winter shortage. How
ever comforting this may be to those
who object to being served with stor-
age eggs when they ask for strictly
fresh ones. the fact remains that dis
inclination on the part of the cold stor-
age interests to load up with eggs and
face possible losses is another cause
contributing to present high prices, and
prospects OF still higher prices III the
future. Reports to the Department Of
Agriculture indicate that the supply of
eggs in cold storage is at least Is per
cent less than it was two months ago,
and anywhere from 20 to 25 per cent
smaller than at this time last year.
: Chance for Big Profits.
r Poultrymen who supply eggs for
Matching have begun talking about
increased prices for this class of eggs
next spring. They argue that feed
costs them just as much as it does any
body else and that if eggs for table
purposes are worth twice the ordinary
price there is no reason why they
, should maintain prices of previous
years for their incubator eggs.
Raisers Of poultry who refuse to sell
of their flocks. therefore, are likely to
have an opportunity to realize hand
.somely next season on their nerve in
declining to join the countrywide STAN
pede to sell off the layers as well as
the culls. Poultry of all kinds. 1t is
predicted by men capable of judging.
will be worth more next year than ever
before, while eggs, either for the table
or for Matching. are expected to bring
prices hitherto unheard of.
Don't let present high prices of feed
frighten you into disposing of your
youag pullets and laying hens" one of
the biggest poultrymen in the east
urges, in an article in the current issue
of 4 farm weekly. Feed isn't going
much higher. while eggs and all kinds
of poultry are almost certain to climb
to unheard-of values. Now is the time
for the foresighted poultrynan to plan
for big profits next year"
