They must have an abundance of food,
and to maintain the necessary health
to, assimilate large quantities Of food
they must have an abundance of exer-
else. This idea is entirely logical. Tur-
keys are large birds. semiwild by ma
ture. possessed of rowing disposition
and fully capable of taking care Of
themselves. To confine them is to i'm
pose feeling of cOnstraint and worri-
ment, over which they never cease to
fret. To do well turkeys must have
range. Only few should be attempted
in confined space, and even then they
will require painstaking care.
Much of the so called bad luck" in
turkey raising. infertility soft shelled
eggs and impaired vigor. is due to i'm
proper feeding. Avoid having the
breeding stock too fat. If they have be-
come so during the winter season en-
deavor to reduce them to medium flesh

be kept within easy reach of the birds

Continued Selection For Corn.

Corn prOductiveness may be greatly
increased through continued selection.
For fourteen seasons this has been
studied on a 5000 acre farm in Ohio
with ten acre plots of corn. On these
small plots seed selected from depart
ment cooperative improvement have
been contrasted with the farm yields
of the same variety of corn less rigidly
selected and grown under identical cul
tural conditions. During the first seven
year period the fields planted with de-
partment seed yielded 1873 bushels per
acre more than the farm fields, while
for the second seven years the increase
averaged 21.S bushels per acre.

Every precaution should be taken in
turkey raising to obtain strong, vigor-
GUS stock. Do not imagine that size
is the main point Of excellence, says q
poultry expert. A medium sized COB
bier weighing about twenty -five pounds
will usually render more satisfactory
results than an overheavy specimen.
In all fowls remember that size is
largely Influenced by the female, and
the color and distinguishing character
istics by the male. The hens should
be well matured, weighing not less
than fourteen pounds, intelligent and
tame, as distinguished from wild and
unduly excitable birds. and of pro-
nounced constitutional vigor.
A safe rule for mating is to have a
tom for every four to six hens. Good
fertility Is reported from matings Of a
male to every twelve females, but we
are inclined to think this is unusual
On farms where the flocks are yarded
it is customary to keep two cocks for
every eight or ten hens and to alter
nate the males about twice a week,
keeping one penned aloof while the
other is with the flock. When turkeys
are given unlimited range. which is the
most successful method of raising
them, they naturally divide into fiocks.

ing a large percentage of profit BY
keeping such brood sows in their herds.
There are several reasons why brood
sows bring small filters, and firmly
believe that the one which contributes
to the trouble more than any other
Is the practice Of breeding sows too
young. 1t il no uncommon thing to
ind sows weighing less than 100
pounds with pigs. Usually you find
them with only two pigs. The young
sows which you intend to keep for
brood sows should never be bred un-
der nine months of age, and it Is much
better to wait until they are twelve
to fourteen months old. Then If they
are not fully developed wait few
months longer. Your brood SOW is
good for six or eight years. and IL by
waiting few months in the beginning
before starting her on her life work
you can increase the size Of her lit
tiers you have certainly made good
wages for those months.
Another thing which contributes to
no slight extent to cause small litters
is the lack Of exercise. A brood SOW
which does not secure sufficient exer-
else becomes cross and may eat what
pigs she does farrow. Improper care
and feeding also come In as contrib
utory causes Of small filters. The SOW

must have bone and muscle building

her on alfalfa and also to feed some
