TURKEY HEN IS BEST MOTHER FOR P0ULTS

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 for them 1t Is advisable to turn
cut two or three hens with their broods
together when they are given free
range. It 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.

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 Kafir, 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 is necessary to
protect these from the birds until they
are foot or so high, after which they
will rapidly grow out of reach of the
poultry.
Sunfiowers are not satisfactory for
planting In the poultry lot as they
will not furnish the proper amount of
shade. The poultry are fond Of sun
flowers when the plants are young, and
will quickly devour them.

For poults the turkey hen is the
hest mother that can be found. She
knows their needs and can talk to
them in language that they soon
tearn to understand. At the approach
of any danger she gives a low, warn
ing note that sends them scurrying in
every direction for a 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 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

HINTS ON POULTRY DRESSING
Fowls for Market Should Not Be Killed
While Crops Are FuIl-Cater to
Demands of Customers.

XIII no fowls for market when their
crops are full.
Learn whether the market you ship
to wants heads cut off or left on; also
whether it wants intestines removed

whether from severed head or cut ar
terry in mouth or neck, dip 1t In hot
water, oat and in till wet thoroughly,
then plunge into cold water quickly !;
hang it up and all feathers can be
stripped Off quickly.
After picking plump the fowl by
letting it lay in cold water for an
hour; it win add to the attractiveness
of the fowl when in market.
