WHITE-FACED BLACK SPANISH

For centuries the White Faced Black Spanish fowls have been bred in Egland and Holland and the hostorians of poultry dom pronounce them one of the oldest varieties in existence. They are descend- ent from the Castilian fowls of Spain from which also the Minorcas were de- veloped.
 The Black Spanish are heavy layers of large white eggs and before the devel- opment of Leghorns were one of the most popular utility varieties of poultry. Now they are bred principally by fanciers who are attracted by the difficulties of breed ing them.
 The face, usually red on other breeds,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-23

is pure white and the throat is white with long pendulous white earlobes often measuring 7la to inches from top of face to lowest point of earlobe. The diff fitulty of producing these extraordinary white faces was really the downfall of the breed. The average breeder could not produce them, and turned naturally to the Minorca, which has red face and which for laying, size and color, is the equal of the Black Spanish
 The plumage is rich, glossy, greenish black. the fowls are moderately large, weighing from 61a to pounds for males and 5& to 61a for females. The hen is a non-sitter.

 Daily feeding of a fattening ration
 which is in excess of actual needs Is
 throwing food overheard. Weak or
 sickly one should be segregated and

 value from the final receipts, but adds
 to the cost per head of the residue.
 Thirst would urge one at the outset to

 more certainly and speedily from the torment of vermin than turkeys Birds so infested are walking sieves as it were, disdainful of much food and re- taining practically no nutriment from what little they eat. To feed a flock so pestered is one of the discouragins
 experiences of growers, expensive and unsatisfactory.
 Selective Marketing Pays Best A method of marketing that has com mended itself in years not so lean, IS to market in installments. Select the matl1est birds and concentrate upon them. apart from the rest, for the first market, which is Thanksgiving. They usually command good prices, and the feed-harrel profits by their removal. By this method, more troublesome than preparing the flock as a whole, one ex- changes labor for feed. Tn few cases do f1ocks consist of uniform individuals, and the younger, smaller ones improve when no longer overrun by stronger brothers.
 If one contemplates changes in ones flock, replacing old hens with bullets of home or foreign breeding, early De- cember is the time to secure them, when one has a choice of the sturdiest and shapliest Besides, they are then cheaper not having attained full weight. The breeders. new or old, may be separated from the flock and placed on reduced rations.
 There are no substitutes for corn and other grains for turkeys, nor is 1t sale to give them mouldy or rotten corn. Economy must rest in the manner or i their use.
 By postponement of fattening as long as feasible by combining high-priced corn with other cheaper grains, by con centrating on healthy birds and Dy a system of selective marketing, turkeys l may be conditioned this year at an ex- pense appreciably reduced.

m Egypt could not make bricks with out straw. so a turkey or other fowl cannot put on flesh without sufficient key nature admits a measure of skill full manipulation of their feeding which will exert downward pressure on the cost. There is a gap between the quantity required for thriftiness and for fattening. A certain quantity they must get. Nothing approaching a fancy product or even a passable one will develop from insufficient food. We cannot save on the turkey In quantity or quality. We must save in our meth : od that is. We must
 Watch the Leaks Carefully
 Conserving the feed with no depri- vation of the bird can be accom-. plished with scrutinizing regard for every loss we've hitherto held una voidable. Opportunities for economy present themselves in four phase of turkey fattening. namely. manner of feeding. kind of ration. health of birds and marketing. In modelling the man. agement of fattening turkeys, after Mir. Hoover's pertinent suggestions for our pantries it affords surprise to note the casual leaks which unawares pefIOIdle a we'll OTuSIeu IOuliHc, SOHle of the spigot. others of the bung-hole variety.
 The manner of feeding affords the most direct instance. Whole grain is more economical than ground feed for birds able to assimilate it. A respect able proportion of nutriment in the aggregate is lost in the fine meal and bran which they cannot possibly clear up in a mash. Though desirable, mashes must be fed only in quantities turkeys will dispose of else it will avoided. Grain and mashes should be fed in receptacles that forbid turkeys stepping in. Elevated troughs are commended as superior to boxes on the floor or ground. Food tossed upon the ground is insanitary. Much of 1t is lost if it consists of small or broken grains.
 Plan of Feeding the Flock
 Regularity in feeding promo es thriftiness with least expense. Turkeys and other fowls respond to a regular schedule as sa tisfo octorily as do people. Tn their ranging they remain faithfu, to their meal hours. if so trained, though they return with bulsins crops.
 To get best results from what corn is fed. let the heaviest meal. with corn predominant be fed at night The pe- riod of rest on full crops aids in rap i'd increase of weight. Breakfast may consist of a lighter feed of scratch or other mixture of small grains. The kind of ration depends upon ones re sources and what the turkeys have been accustomed to. For Maryland tur- keys. yellow corn is esteemed as ideal Whether it is or not may be debat able. but it's advocates. who are many positively affirm that exclusive use ot yellow corn not only fattens quickly but enriches the flesh color.

"A TTENING THE TURKEY
 CROP A LA HOOVER
Lessons to Be Observed From the Food Conserv- er's Suggestions-Yoking Economy and Efficiency in the Interest of Purse and Patriotism
By MIRA KELSEY COX

Turkeys. themselves prospective and huge contribution to the national pooling of resources, must be fed, and in due time fattened. The same perplexity that has been facing the cattle raisers, creat- ing scarcity of milch cows, beeves and porkers, now attends the poultry raiser whether he counts his birds by the score or hundreds. Turkeys that journey to market as bony creatures are desired by none, and will prove loss to the raiser The element of uncertainty that always dances attendance upon any estimates of the selling price of fowls is more ac- tive now than ever. Of one thing only is the raiser sure in face of the unlver- sal shortage and high prices for grain; the margin of profit will be narrowed. Also, who is able to pay whether the attitude assumed by many people toward so-called luxuries shall include tur- keys in that class?
 Every person who invested in turkeys for this year was familiar with preva- lent prices and laid plans accordingly. always with distinct deference to econ omy in feed for his pocketbook's sake. It now assumes another aspect It is patriotic Shortage has conspired to place purses and patriotism in juxtapo- sition. What was merely individual has become communal.

 Conserving Feed in Summer


 The usual routine for turkeys during the fall must suffer a change. Eighty cent corn and S1 wheat lying about in troughs, waiting upon the desultory ap- petites of fall turkeys used to make the average farmer vince, thought no real waste happened. This is impracticable now. Turkey raisers who are so un- fortunate as to have to buy, find the burden heavy indeed.
 The long sighted person, viewing afar the fall problem, has been as abstemious in the use of feed during the past sum- mer as his conscience would allow. Said one raiser; During July and August my turkeys, having range over stubble fields seldom had more than one meal a day. Loose wheat and grasshoppers were ample" Oat patches, rye stubble, buckwheat and hay fields bridged many flock from summer to fall. Feed so saved Will now be available
 Applying Mir. Hoover's principles is our chief reliance. No one will deny that as the ancient Israelites enslaved

NORTH DAKOTA'S FARMERS.

One of the political upheavals that take place

Non-P Partisan Political League controls pract-
cally every elective office in the state government
and has big majority of the Legislature. "A. re-
port of the change was published in this paper
last week.
The League has already extended its member
ship into other states and it appears likely that
another formidable class movement destined TO
figure in national affairs as we'll as state IS get
ting under way. The movement spread like Wild
fire throughout North Dakota, its chief tenets
being that the state should own and operate grain
elevators. warehouse, packing houses and flour
mills. and it is rapidly gaining membership from

parties ever enacted class idea-they all died,

able in their demands, lived on.
