VARIOUS METHUDS USED IN
MATCHING TURKEY EGGS

Turkey hens, chicken hens, and in
cubators are commonly used to incu-
bate turkey eggs. During the early
part of the laying season it often hap
pens that one has on hand a number
of eggs that should be incubated be-
fore any of the turkey hens are
through laying their first litter and
become "broody." In such case, and
also when it is desired that the turkey
hens lay more than one litter, some
of the eggs have to be incubated un-
der chicken hens or in an incubator
About a week before the poults are
due to hatch turkey hens enough
should be allowed to sit to take all
the poults Matched. They can be Civ
en- few eggs from the incubator or
from under the chicken hens and al
lowed to hatch the poults themselves
or at night newly Matched poult can
be slipped under each turkey hen that
is to be given a brood of poults, and
by morning she will be glad to take
them.

SOWING SPRING WHEAT
Number OF Practices Followed
In Preparation.
FLOWING FIRST OPERATION
Preparing Seed Bedtime, Depth
and Quantity to SOW-CuItiVa-
ton Worth While.

In the spring wheat area, which
covers a large portion of the Dako-
tas, Minnesota, and small portions of
Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska,
and Wyoming, a number of practices
are followed in the preparation of
the lang for spring wheat.
Flowing in some form is necessary
first operation upon which agricul-
ture has depended from the beginning.
To the new settler, whose land is still
in native grass, success or failure fire.
quently depends on how he prepares
the land for spring wheat.
Break Sod Land Deepest.
Sod land should be broken deeper
in the semiarid regions than in the
more humid districts. The early set
tiers of the Red River Valley and
other fairly humid districts of the
plains found it best to break the sod
land inches deep in May and June
and backset to inches deep in
September or October. Those who
settled in the drier portions of the
plains found the land too dry in the
fall to backset the sod and turn up
the extra 2 or inches of soil. Their
experience shows that under such
conditions the sod should be broken
3 or 6 inches in depth when the grass
is growing most rapidly, usually in
May or June. The sod is turned even
", bottom side up, and it is best not
to crop this land to wheat or any 9TH
er small grain the first year. If not
sOwn to flax, it should be worked
down with a disk and harrow after
the heavier rains of summer and fall.
Disking and narrowing again in the
spring will make a well-prepared
seed bed for what. A firm seed bed,
with about inches of fairly moist
mulch, is the best preparation for
wheat. When spring wheat is to fol-
low a crop of oats, wheat or barley
the seed bed is prepared in the fall.
Don't Work Light Soils Too Much.
Farther west, in the drier districts,
little or no moisture remains in the
soil after a crop has matured. Leav-
ing the stubble standing to catch
snow, and then blowing 5 to s inches
deep in the spring, often gives the
best results under these conditions.
The land is then worked down with
a disk or harrow, which prevents rap
i'd drying of the newly turned soil.
Light soils, however, which are easily
blown, should not be worked too
much. Furrowing them with a lister
instead of blowing will largely pre-
vent the drifting of the soil during
the winter. The furrow should be
leveled in the spring by disking and
narrowing Immediately before drill
ing the wheat-Gov't. Bulletin.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-04-05
CARE OF SOW AND PIGS
Preparedness at narrowing Time Is
Money S aved-PrOper HandI-
ing Prevents Losses.

Farmers who intell1gently feed and
care for their pregnant sOws, so as
not to overload them with fat, but in
stead give them feeds for the develop
ment of bone and muscle. are on the
right road toward the production of
strong, healthy filters. Their pre-
paredness program, however, does not
end here.
Two weeks before narrowing time
the SOW should be put into a farrOw-
ing pen so that she will become ac-
quainted and contented in her new
quarters. The narrowing pen should
be dry and free from drafts. Provide
the pen with a guardrail made of 2
by inch planks set inches from the
wall and inches from the floor to
prevent the SOW from crushing the
pigs against the wall. Use only a
small quantity of bedding; leaves or
straw are preferable. See that the
SOW has plenty of fresh water.
Keep Sow Quiet.
1t pays to keep the sow quiet. AS
