SOLDIERS WANT

Along the lines of the military encamp-
ments, mince pie proves to be prime favor

little private straight up 10 the commanding
officer all afhrm'it "greateats" They want
the kind they used to get at home.
And as one piece of mince pie goes long
way toward meal, the efficient American
housewife is not slow TO appreciate that
she can turn this to advantage in her own
home.
NONE SUCH MINcE MEAT is made just as
the best housewife makes the best mince
meat in her own kitchen. The package
recipes are good for pies, cakes, pucdings,
and cookies.

you help the u. S. Food Administration
For economy NONE SUcH is the leader,
for it comes in a paraffin-lined package
which prevents waste, and is cheaper than
bulk mince meat bought by the pound.
The package weight increases three times
its weight when the necessary moisture is
added. 1t costs only few'cents-is abso-
lutely clean and keeps like fruit cake.

POULTRY
AND EGGS
FATTENlMG TURKEYS.

Preparation For Market Should Begin
With Rather Light Feeding.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
In fattening turkeys for the market
an excellent plan is TO begin about
Oct. to feed night and morning. not
feeding enough at time, but that the
birds go away still feeling a little hun
CRY. and gradually increasing the guam
tity until they are given all they will
clean up three times a day during the
week before marketing By the latter
! feeding is meant that they are fed un-
| ill they leave the feed and walk away
Some turkey raisers feed wheat and
oats during the first part of the fatten-
ing season, gradually changing to corn
| as the weather becomes cooler. The
majority. however, begin feeding heav-
| lily on corn about Nov. l, and since tur-
keys are not accustomed TO such heavy
feeding scours often result, especially
if new corn is used. New corn can be
fed safely II the turkeys are gradually
accustomed to it by feeding lightly at
first and more heavily afterward.
Combining turkeys during the fatten
ing season TO prevent their using so
much energy in ranging has been tried
TO some extent, but with very little
success Those confined to a pen eat
heartily for two or three days, but
after this they lose their appetite and
begin TO lose flesh rapidly. On allowing
them free range again they pick up
rapidly and are soon eating as heartily
as ever. The better method is to al

are always eager TO be fed.

Turkey males are harder to fatten

larger than the females. they require a
great deal of feeding to cover their

to ship dressed turkeys, as losses from
improper cooling and from their being
exposed to warm weather during tran
sit are liable to occur. Aside from
this it is seldom profitable to ship tur-
keys any great distance except in car
load lots. When this is done the tur-
keys are cooled to 81 degrees f., packed
In boxes or barrels and shipped in re-
frigerator cars.
Breeding Stock.
As to the best age for breeding stock,
most turkey breeders prefer to mate a
vigorous, well grown young tom cock
ereD with early Matched young hens
outlets or with yearling hens. Early
Matched turkeys are In most cases suf-
ficiently mature to be used as breeders
their first season. but in no case should
late Matched or slow growing birds be
kept for breeders. An excellent plan
is 10 keep as breeders each year one
half yearling hens and one-half early
Matched pullets and mate them with
well developed and vigorous early
Matched cockerel Yearling toms can
be used If desired, but owing 10 theii
greater weight and clumsiness they are
liable to injure the hens. Should
yearling or older tom be used care
should be taken to pare off the spurs
and file the sharp points from the nails
After the third year the egg production
Of turkey hens begins TO fall off. and 1t
is advisable to replace them with
younger stock.
The most satisfactory time of year to
select breeding stock is November or
December. By purchasing early in the
season one not only has larger num-
Der to choose from, but the birds are
given ample time to become acquainted
with their new surroundings before
the mating season. which in the south
ordinarily begins early in February
and in the north about month later

plenty Of fresh, clean water In order to
clean the crop and intestines of all
feed. When ready to kill the bird should
be hung up by the feet. Holding
the bird In one hand, sharp, narrow
bladed knife Is used to sever the veins
in the throat by making a small cut in
side the mouth on the right side OF the
throat. mt the base of the skull. After
making this cut and bleeding begins the
knife is then thrust up through the
groove In the roof of the mouth and
into the brain ut the back part OF the
skull. On piercing the brain the bird
gives a peculiar squawk, the feathers
are loosened by the quivering of the
muscles. and death is instantaneous.
Picking the Birds.
In dry picking the feathers should
be plucked Immediately, and IL the
bird has been properly stuck they come
out very easily. The tail and large
wing feathers are removed first, after
which the body feathers are pulled out.
When the turkeys are to be marketed
locally or are to be shipped but a short
distance they are cooled to tempera
ture Of about 80 degrees f. by hanging
In the open air, provided the weather is
cool enough; otherwise they are plung-
ed into ice water and kept there until
thoroughly cooled. After cooling they
are packed undrawn in boxes or bar
rels

Water For Poultry.

Give fresh and clean water to the
fowls several times day and especial
ly let the first drink in the morning be
clean water. Water standing over,
night during warm weather Is liable to
be full of dust. poison and parasites.
These are not good for chickens.
Fowls should have all the pure water
they can drink, for they drink a great
deal in warm weather, and when fresh
water is not furnished to them they
are apt to drink any foul water they
may come across. This is bound to
cause trouble by breeding all manner
of diseases.

states often dress the turkeys and Ell
Their sell them direct to the consumer

shortly before Thanksgiving there Is
held what Is known as turkey day. On
the day before this event every turkey
grower in the neighborhood kills and
dresses his turkeys and the following
morning brings them into town. where
they are bid on and purchased by what
ever buyers choose TO be there. the
