Weight OF Pekin Egos.

y young duck eats much more than
a chicken OF the same age. but il grows
much faster and is ready for market
much earlier, so that it costs 10 more
to raise a duck than to raise a chicken.
After ducks get their growth they
can be fed as cheaply as hens and
during laying season, when ducks are
averaging a pound OF eggs a week, do
not need any more feed than do the
hens.

NEST SATISFACTORY TO HEN
To Obtain Best Results It Should Be
Flattened and Shallow to Per-

A nest to prove satisfactory should
be shallow enough to permit a hen to

of sliding down into the bottom and
having the eggs roll on top of them.

A more profitable sideline thar tur.
keys for the farmer can hardly be
round Tor those who are %favorably situ-
ated for raising them, according TO
W. A. Lippincott. professor of poultry
husbandry in the Kansas state agri.
cultural college.
improper feeding. combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
OF many failures in turkey raising"
says Professor Lippincott. Given
free range on the average farm. the
poults car generally pick up their
W living. One light feed a day for
the purpose of inducing them to come
in at night is sufficient.
IF the mother hen is confined to q
coop and the poults are allowed to
run in and out, three times a day is
often enough to feed and very little
should be given at a time. The poults
should always be ready to eat-if they
are given all they will eat several
times a day, Indigestion will result.
IL there is little or no food outside the
coop for the poults to pick up, they
should be fed five times a day. only
a small quantity at a time.
"A good feed for the first few days
after the brood is Matched is stale
bread soaked in milk and then
squeezed dry. Corn-bread crumbs
and clabbered milk or cottage cheese
is often fed with excellent results.
Green feed and grit should be on hand
at all times. AS poults grow older,
the ration should gradually be
changed to grain"
Freedom is the main essential in the
care of the adults, says Professor Lip
pincott. With plenty of range where
the turkeys can find insects. green
vegetation. the seeds of weeds and
grasses, and waste grain, the cost of
raising them is small while the profits
are large.
Grain and stock farms in the west
ern part of the state are particularly
well adapted to turkey raising. and
especially is this noticeable in grass

law which makes patriots and Repub-

platform Is not the place for philoso-

reason why the platform-makers at

difficult question whether the action IN

travel on armed merchantmen was
upheld by the Republicans with the

LIME AND MINERAL MATTER
To Prevent soft-shelled Eggs Hens
Must Have Proper Ingredients
Exercise Is Good.

S~oft-shelled eggs are primarily due
to the improper working of the egg
laying organs. This often comes about
cause the hen is not supplied with
suihcient lime and mineral matter in
her ration. Sometimes, too, a large
supply OF animal food will unduly ex-
cite the organs, preventing them from
their proper function. Overlooking
hens is another cause. When the
cause is located, the remedy sug-
gests itself. For overlooking or
oyerstimulation. supply 20 to so
grains of epson salts as a dose for
the adult fowl and regulate the feed
ing methods. The medicine may be
applied in the drinking water or in
the food. Exercise will take away the
attention of the hens from the soft.
shelled eggs.
