TURKEY RAISING
GOOD SIDE LINE
Requirement Of Range Usually
Limits Production of Biz
Fowls to Farms.
BRONZE VARIETY IS POPULAR
Birds Are Especially Adapted to Grain
and Stock Farms Where There 10
Ample Ranging Ground
Astounding In Feed.

For those who are favorably situ-
ated for raising turkeys. more profit
able side line scarcely can be found.
Plenty Of range is necessary to raise
turkeys, SO this usually limits the op-
portunity to the farms Turkeys are
included in the department Of agricul-
ture's program for increasing poultry
production, and specialists of the de-
partment point out how and where in
creases can be obtained.
Turkeys are especially suited to the
grain and stock farms where there is
ample ranging ground abounding in
such turkey food as grasshoppers and
other insects. weed seeds, waste grain
such as Is left In the fields after har-
vest, and nuts Of such varieties as
beechnuts. chestnuts, pecans. pine nuts
and acorns. On such farms the pres
ent prices of grain affect the turkey
raiser but little. for with the excep-
ton Of what is used at fattening time
the feed consumed Is largely Of such
q kind as would otherwise be wasted.
Raise Msrs Turs<eys.
With but little additional outlay to
the farmer many more turkeys could
and should be raised. federal special
lists say. The small number Of turkeys
per farm In the United States Is sur
prising. According to the census Of
1910. which is the latest that has been
taken, only 1877 per cent of the total
number Of farms reported am turkeys
at all. and on those farms reporting
turkeys an average OF but slightly over
four breeding turkeys was found per
farm. Some farms BY nature of the
crops grown on them or because Of
unfavorable surroundings are not
adapted to turkey raising, but most
farms could easily handle a breeding
flock Of from 10 to Is hen turkeys
and tom. raising from IS to $50 each
year at a good profit.
Throughout the middle West, where
most Of the turkeys are raised, 1t 10
unusual to see a flock Of more than
so on a farm. although In Texas, where
more are produced than in any other
state, focks of several hundred are
rather common. In sections of the
Southwest and ON the Pacific coast a
few persons have engaged in turkey
raising on 4 large scale. rearing a
thousand or more every year. There
are not, however, enough turkeys
raised on the Pacific coast to supply
the local demand. This Is true also Of
the Atlantic coast states.
Owing to the fact that the Bronze
turkey is the heaviest, 1t is more
popular among turkey raisers than
other varieties. Since turkeys are sold
by weight the heaviest birds bring the
greatest returns. When a large num-
Der Of people are to be served, as In
hotels, restaurants, and boarding
houses. the demand Is for heavy tur-
keys. For family use the demand 10
for small or medium-sized birds. Un-
less they are to be marketed locally
among customers who demand small
birds, It is far more profitable to raise
the heaviest. Regarding other charac-
lerist1cs. It is quite generally asserted
that the Bronze is the hardest variety.

Work Of Turkey Hen.
A turkey hen that begins laying In
the middle of March will usually finish
laying her first litter early in April.
her second late in April, and her third
litter about the third week in May,
depending upon the number of eggs
she lays and the promptness with
which she is broken up on becoming
broody Some turkey hens can be
made to lay four or five litters, but
this is not usually advisable as poults
hatched later than June do not have
chance to develop for the Thanks
giving and Christmas markets and are
not sufficiently mature the following
spring to be used as breeders.
Turkey hens can easily be broken
Of their broodlness by confining them
for two or three days to coop with
slat bottom. They will mate soon
after being let out OF the coop and
begin laying in about q week. Turkey
hens and chicken hens usually are
used to incubate turkey eggs. although
incubators are quite generally used
