Turkey hens, chicken hens and incuba-
tors are commonly used to incubate
turkey eggs During the early part of
the laying season it often happens that
one has on hand number of eggs that
should he incubated before any of the
turkey hens are through laying their
first litter and become "broody.' In
such case, and also when 1t is desired
that the turkey hens lay more than one
litter some Of the eggs have to be in
cubated under chicken hens or in an In

Lice are great annoyance to sitting
hens and are one of the worst enemies
of young pouts. To prevent their get
ting foothold, dust the hen thoroughly
with some good lice powder before she Is
placed on the nest and once Week
thereafter while she is sitting. The
nesting material should be kept clean
and if the eggs become dirty they should
be washed with lukewarm water.

If the weat her is warm and dry no
shelter is required, as the pouts do bet
ter in the open. Should it be rainy,
however they need to be protected for
nothing is more injurious than for them
to become wet and chilled. The most
satisfactory plan is to confine the moth
er turkey hen to n coop and allow the
poults to run in and out whenever rain
does not prevent. This coop shall be
placed in a field where they can run ont
and find grasshoppers green vegetation,
and other feed. The coop should he
moved to fresh ground every day.
Improper feeding. combined with close
confinement. has been the cause of many
failures in turkey raising Given free
range on the average farm. the poults
can easily pick up their own living and
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
a coop and the poults allowed to run in
and out, three times IA day is often
enough to feed. and very little should
he given at time. The poults should
always be ready to eat; if given all they
will clean up several times a day. in
digestion will be the result If there Is
little or no feed outside the coop for the
poults to pick up, then they should
be fed about five times day, feeding
only small quantity at a time. good
feed for the first few days is stale
break soaked in milk and squeezed dry.
Corn bread crumbs and clabbered mix
or cottage cheese is also quite often fed
and with excellent results. Green feed and
grit should be on hand at all times.
As the pOults grow older the ration
should gradually be changed to grain.

Three suggestions for the control of

Colorado Agricultural college:
First.-Deep fall blowing and crop 70
tation are recommended as the most
satisfactory methods Of control. Beet

In the fall.
Second.-Care should be taken that no
diseased leaves are scattered to fields
in which beets are to be grown the
following year, and live stock on beet
top pasture should not be permitted In
next years beet fields for several days.
Third.-Manure from stock fed with
diseased beet tops should be applied

Ing animals never run less than GOO.
He says:
EFF every one else Is buying In

City" II Is simply a matter Of buying
where demand is least and prices cor
respondingiy lower. Likewise be does
not hold to the same class OF sheep ev-
cry year, bat buys lambs, yearlings or
wethers. He takes what looks best for
the feed he has on hand. varying this
enough TO buy the kind that other buy
ers are passing up. Thus he gets them
at a reasonable figure. also securing
the kind that are likely TO command
the higher prices when fattened. I'm
doubtedly Dir. Chester's success In the
sheep feeding business Is due largely
TO his buying methods.
He believes In starting on feed easily.
and carefully and follows practically
the same program every year. After
they have been on grass for several
days they are given little clover and
timothy. and the amount is increased
somewhat day by day. The idea IL to
offset the green pasture grass and not
allow them to get too much OF It. This
is especially necessary in late fall.
Except in fields 70 be cut for silage
or shock corn. Mr.. Chester always
sows rape In his corn. Then after
husking Is finished the sheep are turn
ed In on the stalks and rape until
freezing weather sets In. BY picking
they learn to eat corn. As the rough.
age In the fields runs low he starts
feeding corn In the lot and always
figures on giving them just enough TO
keep them hungry. This season he fed
shock corn at the morning asd ear corn
at the evening feed. When foragfng
In the field comes to a standstil1 they
are given access to hay and straw.
About Jan. he begins to feed silage.
1t is necessary to go slow with this
and not get up to the maximum amount
for about a month. He feels that one
pound per head per day should be
considered the maximum. 4 small
amount OF cottonseed cake is intro
duced into the ration In connection
with the silage. As the sheep fatten
up and attain marketable condition
they are thinned out and shipped In
this way no feed is wasted on prime
animals and. due to the thinning, the
backward ones are given better
chance 10 take on the desired flesh
Fertility is conserved to a high de- :
gree on this farm. 1t Is essentially a
feeding establishment, and the inten-
ton is not to sell any produce of the
fields as such. Mr.. Chester under
stands the science of growing crops as
well as that OF feeding animals and
makes the two go hand In hand.

Care Should De Taken to Have esrs
-,.... Bins We'll Ventilated. .~.,
Perhaps none of the grains on the
farm are so subject 10 heating as are
the grain sorghums. They should be
thrashed only when fully ripe and
thoroughly dry. The percentage OF
cracked kernels should be as small as
possible since broken kernels In bulk
of thrashed seed cause 1t to heat more
rapidly.
great loss Is experienced on the
farm every year through having some
of the grain sorghums heat. This, as
a rule. Is one of the most troublesome
features iR connection with growing
these crops. To prevent this loss spe-
cial care sheuld be taken TO see that
the storage bins are well ventilated
The principle which has given the best
results Ia one that permits of bringing
the air in from the outside. beneath
storage bin, and allowing 1t TO circu-
late upward through the grain. When
the grain heats the hot air rises, and
cool air coming In from below will go
up through the grain and tend to carry
or the excess moisture and prevent
heating. With the surplus moisture
which we have had this season these
crops have been weathered considera
bly, in the field and will contain a high
percentage of moisture when they go

PROHIBITION DOES

Has Cut Down Arrests in Denver For

Denver, Col, Feb. 6.-With a rec
ord of fifty two arrests for drunken
ness last month, as against 212 dur
ing January 1915. and total of sos
arrests for all causes. as compared
with l.2l2 last January. the police
are prepared to argue that "prohi-
bition does prohibit" to large ex-
tent, and that the drouth resulting
from the enforcement Of the proni-
bitiun law has contributed materially
to the moral uplift of Denver.
OF the ttfty-two persons booked at
the city jail for drunkenness. twenty
were taken into custody in the early
hours OF New Years day. These
twenty accumulated their jags before
Denver went dry. so that, III reality,
only thirty-two persons have man

ulously inclined under existing cir
cumstances.
Each of these thirty-two paid s12,
representing fine and court costs, for
the privilege of getting drunk, with
the result that the city treasury has
been "sweetened'' to the extent of
about 1855.
There We're sixteen arrests during
the month for alleged violations of
the prohibition law. Several convic-
tons have been obtained ami num-
Der OF cases still are pending.
While the police admit that the
decrease in the number Of arrests
for all causes cannot be attributed
solely to the departure of j. Barley

contributed largely TO the falling off
in their business. Fights have been
