TURKEY HEN IS BEST MOTHER FOR PoULTs

For poults the turkey hen is the
best mother that can be found. She
knows their needs and can talk to
them in a language that they soon
learn to understand. At the approach
Of any danger she gives low, warn
ing note that sends them scurrying in
every direction Tor q weed or patch Of
grass where they can lie fiat on the
ground safely hidden from view.
While on free range, she keeps her
brood together by talking continuously
in a contented, purring tone SO that
the poults always know where she is.
When her poults become widely sep
arated, or If some become lost, and
she hears their peep, peep" she calls
them with the characteristic yelp
heard so frequently during the laying
season. Now and then, while the
poults are but few days old, she
catches a grasshopper and calls the
poults to come and get 1t. They soon
learn to find their own feed, however,
and range out ahead of the mother
hen in search, Of whatever they can
find.
Young turkeys usually remain with
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-09-29

the mother hen until about October or
November, when the males ordinarily
separate from the females and range
by themselves. When two turkey hens
with broods Of about the same age are
turned out on free range together they
will remain in one flock, and as this
makes 1t easier to hunt them up and
care fol: them 1t is advisable to turn
out two or three hens with their broods
together when they are given free
range. 1t is not good plan to have
more than this number Of young poults
in one flock, however, as they may all
try to crowd under one or two hens to
be lowered. ....
Bronze turkeys have given the best
results. They will grow the largest
In the shortest time. They mature
early and are more hardy and domestic
in their habits than other breeds.
Young turkey hens lay more eggs
and generally hatch more Of them than
older hens, but the gobblers should be
two years old and Of entirely different
blood. To have thrifty young poults,
the tom should be changed every year,
always using q purebred.

DOUBLE RUNS ARE REQUIRED
Necessary to Keep Poultry Yards
Sweet and Sanitary, Says Expert
Of Kansas College.

It is necessary to have double runs
to keep the poultry yards sweet and
sanitary, according to N. L. Harris,
superintendent Of the Kansas State
Agricultural college poultry farm.
zone Of the yards should be plowed
in the early spring and seeded to OATS"
says Mr.. Harris. "These oats will fur
nish good succulent pasture until the
first Of July. In this period the other
lot should be plowed and Kaflr, cane, or
Sudan grass sown thickly. This will
furnish the necessary green pasture
from the time the oats are ripe until
fall when the other lot may be re-
plowed and sown to wheat to furnish
winter and early spring pasture"
Some form Of shade is quite neces-
sary to the best growth and health Of
poultry, Mr.. Harris believes. If trees
are not available ornamental castor
beans planted around the fences are
quite satisfactory. 1t Il necessary to
protect these from the birds until they
are a foot or so high, after which they
will rapidly grow out Of reach Of the
poultry.
Sunfowers are not satisfactory for
planting in the poultry lot as they
win not furnish the proper amount Of
shade. The poultry are fond Of sun
flowers when the plants are young, and
will quickly devour them.

PROTECT YOUNG PIGS
FROM CHOLERA GERM
When Vitality Has Been Permit
ted to Run Down Animals Are
Susceptible to Disease.

Protect young swine from cholera by
so arranging the breeding pens and
hog houses that good drainage, sun
light, and fresh air will be insured, is
the advice Of DR.. @. w. Hobbs, field
veterinarian and superintendent of
the serum laboratory at the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
''The young pigs are susceptible to
pneumonia and other Diseases" said
Doctor Hobbs. IF allowed to nest
In draft, they may contract disease.
Their vitality will at any rate be low
cred, making them more susceptible to
cholera. Overlooking either the moth
er or the young pigs, especially with
. fat producing food. will also render
the pigs more susceptible to disease.
"Do not allow communication be-
tween your hog lot and the lots be-
longing to neighbors, as cholera germs
may be carried easily on persons

carry infected or dead hogs will infect

may be brought to ones farm. Ere
quent cleaning, and burning Of litter in
the hog pens will prevent any latent
infection.
"Hog pens, feeding troughs, and
buildings should be protected by regu-
lar use of three per cent solution of

do not put new stock-either hogs
or cattle-with hogs already on the
farm. Newly purchased hogs should
be put into separate Enclosures well
separated from the herd already on
the farm and kept under observation
for three weeks. This is necessary, as
stock cars, unloading chutes, and pens
are likely to be infected with hog chol-
era organisms.
"Burn up all carcasses of dead cat
tie, horses, hogs, sheep, or dogs on the
day they die. Do not allow chickens
or hogs to have access to dead car
cass.
''Ponds should be drained and thor
oughly covered with lime. Where this
cannot be done they should be fenced

lows become a source Of infection on

GRAZING ABILITY OF
HOGS NOT REALIZED
Men Who Understand Importance
of Ample Growth and Ten
Ger Foliage Make Profits.

CBy c. w. HICKMAN, Animal Husban-
dry Department, University of Idaho)
Perhaps the high price of grain will
awake farmers to the full apprecia-
ton Of the grazing ability Of hogs.
There never was so great an incentive
to save grain and use green forage.
It is generally understood now that
profitable hog-feeding in summer in
wolves the use Of pasture Of some kind,
but there is more difference in hog
pastures than many people suppose.
However a few men realize the i'm
portance Of ample growth and tender
palatable forage in hog pasture, and
they profit by the knowledge.
Very often the only hog-tight field
on a grain farm is the small grass
pasture near the barn that serves for
all kinds Of stock. Horses and sheep
keep the grass too short for cattle
or hogs. Instances have probably
come to notice when hogs on such
pasture last year did not return mar
ket price for the grain they ate. Other
farmers nearby whose hogs ran in al
falfa, clover and rape figured that
they got much more than market price
for the grain fed, and in some in
stances twice as much. This means
that their hogs in good pasture prob
ably made twice as much pork from
each hundred pounds Of grain as was
made by the hogs on short grass.
The hog will eat an abundance Of
green forage If given a chance. The
important thing to bear In mind is
that the better the forage the more
the hog will eat Of it, and then the
more grain there Is left for other pur-
poses. Good succulent pasture crops
like alfalfa, clover or rape often make
400 to 800 pounds Of pork per acre be-
sides what can be accounted for
through the grain fed. ~

Difficult to Predict for More Than
Few Days What Combina-
ton Is Best.
AVOID ALL DAMAGED wheat
Corn Most Important for Poultry and
Cannot Be Left Out Of Ration
Oats Perhaps Most Econom-
icaI Grain Feed.

With grain prices soaring higher
and higher 1t is rather difficult to
predict for more than a few days
ahead what combination Of grains is
the most economical, according to
the Connecticut Agricultural college.
In fact there is no economical ration
as all grains and MN feeds are uni
versally high. If we are to meet the
worldwide demand for increased food
supply any whole grain suitable for
milling into food products for man
should not be used for poultry.
: The better grades Of good wheat
are Of course out Of the question;
damaged wheat and wheat screenings
can be used In a limited way. Dam
aged wheat that Is badly burnt or
screenings that are mostly weed seed
should be avoided.
Corn Most Important.
Corn is probably the most important
poultry feed and cannot well be left
out Of the grain ration even at pre-
vailing prices. When an unusually
large proportion Of corn is used the
high carbohydrate content Of the corn
may be offset by increasing the beef
scrap. Fortunately beef scrap has not
kept pace with other. poultry feeds.
Skim milk may also be used to Offset
an increase in the amount Of corn
fed.
Oats is perhaps the most economi-
cal grain at present prices and
should constitute q good part Of the
ration. When difficulty is experienced
in getting poultry to eat oats, this may
be overcome by scalding or soaking
until the kernels swell. Scalded oats
may he fed to four or fve-weeks-old
chicks or growing stock as web as lay
ing hens with good results.
Other Grain Feeds.
Kaffir corn and buckwheat are
quoted higher than corn and cannot
be fed economically. Barley is quoted
very reasonably, but It is often difficult
to obtain. Barley may constitute q
small part Of the ration.
Cracked corn and oats, equal parts
by weight, are the most economical
grains to use at the present time un-
der average conditions.
