POULTRY
FLOCKS
CAUSE OF TURKEY FAILURES
When on Free Range There Is No
Overlooking and Necessary Exer-
else Is Obtained.

Improper feeding combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
of many failurTs in turkey raising
When on free range the pOults are
busy most of the day searching for
feed. Here there is no overlooking
and lack of exercise, such as pOults
are often subjected to by those ignor-
ant of their wants. If the range is
plentifully supplied with green feed
grasshOppers, and other insects, and If
the weather is favorable, the best plan
is to allow the pOults to feed them
selves. 1t is usually advisable, how
ever, to have them come home at night,
and If driven up and fed at certain
place every night they will soon learn
to come up themselves.
When, on account of rainy weather
or unfavOrable range conditions, it is
advisable to raise the poults by the
coop method, more care must be given
to their feeding.
Successful turkey raiSers use many
different kinds Of feed. Some suggest
ed by the United States department
Of agriculture poultry specialists fol-
low:
Hard-boiled egg chopped fine and
cOrn-bread crumbs for the first week,
and then whole wheat and hulled oats :
stale bread, soaked in milk and
squeezed dry, for the first few days,
and then common chick feed; clab-
bered milk seasoned with little salt
and pepper, cOrn-bread crumbs; equal
parts "pinhead" oats, whole wheat and
cracked corn; cracked wheat; corn
meal and wheat bran mixed in the
proportion of three to one and baked
into bread; and bran or middlings
one-half, cracked Egyptian corn one
quarter, wheat and hulled oats one
quarter.
In addition to the above. skim milk
and buttermik are quite often fed,
with excellent results. A. good plan
is to keep the milk in front of the
poults during the morning. and water

CAREFUL IN FEEDING CHICKS
Little Fellows Will Grow More Rap
idly if Fed Five Times Daily
if 1t Is Done Right.

Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily, depending
upon ones experience in feeding, says
the United States department of agri-
culture. Undoubtedly chickens can
be grown faster by feeding five times
daily than by feeding three times
daily it should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done to the young
chickens by overlooking than by I'M
derfeeding, and at no time should they
be fed more than barely to satisfy
their appetites and to keep them ex-
ercising, except at the evening or last
meal, when they should be given all
they will eat Greater care must be
exercised not to overfeed young
chicks that are confined than those
that have free range, as leg weakness
is apt to result in those confined.

PROPER ROOST FOR BULLETS
When About Half Matured Provide
Platform for Fowls About Eight
cen Inches From Floor.

Never provide roosts. until the pull
let's are about half matured. A good
plan is to have platform erected,
about eighteen inches from the floor,
upon which they may go at night.
After the birds are about half ma
tured, roOsts can be placed on this
platform, to which they will readily
take. Where pullets are compelled to
rOost on the floor until well grown,
they are very slow about taking to
roosts when they require it. Besides,
unless the droppings are cleaned up
daily. roosting on the floor will soon
breed a lot Of red mites which will
torment the stock more than anything
else.

SLIDING DOOR ON CONCRETE
Iowa Farmer Solves Problem by U.s.
ing Channel in Groove, Anchored .
With Rods.

When a sliding door is used at the
entrance of a barn or machine shed
groove between the floor and the
approach is often used as q guide for
the door. But when concrete is used
this construction is not satisfactory,
as the edges are Clipped off by the
wheels of wagons and other machinery
with steel tires.
An Iowa farmer has solved this
problem in a very simple and satisfac-
tory manner. He placed a three-inch,
four-pound channel iron in the groove.
Holes were drilled through the sides at
intervals Of two feet and rods placed
through them to serve as anchors.
The iron protects the concrete and
forms a smooth guide for the door.

TOBACCO CROWN
IN ANY SECTION
Commercial Value of Product In
fIuenCed Greatly by Soil and
Climatic Conditions.
OVERPRODUCTION is Menace
Certain Methods for Production of
Various Types Are Recommended
by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The tobacco plant may be grown
successfully in all ATTITUDES from
southern Canada to the tropics and on
a great variety of soils, but the COM
mercial value of the product is intiu-
enCed to a greater degree by the par
tiCular soil and climatic conditions I'M
der which the plant Is grown than
is almost any other important crop.
These facts are so well recognized that
the tobacco industry has become high
ly specialized, and the trade regularly
looks to certain well-defined areas of
production for its supply of the vari-
GUS classes and types of leaf required.
In these tObaccO-prOduCing districts
the necessary facilities for marketing
are available, and prevailing prices of
the cured leaf are governed largely
by the relative supply and demand and
by the quality of the leaf produced.
Increased Production.
Each important district produces
tobacco of certain well-knOwn Charac-
teristics which make it desirable for
special purposes of manufacture or eX-
port. Moreover, in practically all of
these districts the production can be
readily increased to meet any in
creased demand at profitable prices.
For these reasons efforts to introduce
the commercial growing of tobacco in
sections outside of the established
producing centers are likely to result
in failure, either because the leaf pro-
duCed is not quite right in type or
satisfactory marketing facilities are
not available. Furthermore, any de-
velopment Of the industry in new
section on large scale, which would
be essential for economical marketing,
would most likely lead to overproduc-
ton and, as a consequence, unprOtita-
bic prices. AS a matter of fact, over
production is constant menace in all
of the established centers of tobacco
growing.
Growing and Handling.
The methods of growing and han
ding the crop must be varied accord
ing to the type of leaf which it IS de-
sired to produce, for the kind of to-
bacco is influenced very greatly by the
methods of growing and handling
which are employed. Certain methods

tralia, New Zealand and South Africa,
continuing through January and sub
stantially ending in February. India
then begins and increases in activity
through March and April. In April
harvesting operations begin in such
countries as Persia, Asia Minor, and
Mexico. In May activity Is lessened,
for then the Indian harvest has been
about completed, and the harvest sea-
son is crossing the Mediterranean
from north Africa to southern Europe,
where harvests do not become general
until June. Late in May the harvest
of the United States begins. In June,
July and August about Is per cent Of
the worlds crop is harvested, the sea-
son progressing steadily northward
during these months. BY September
harvest operations are nearly COM
pleted, Scotland, northern Russia and
Siberia, the United States and Canada
having a little left over from August.
Very little harvesting of wheat is
done in October and November.

MARKET FOR PUREBRED SIREs
paign for High-Class Bulls In
Place of Scrubs.

There are two ways Of helping the
market for purebred bulls. One meth
cd Is to put on purebred sire cam
paigns. which will help to put pure
bred bulls in place Of scrub bulls
throughout the country, and the other
method is to castrate the poorer indI-
Tduals and place only the better class
of bulls on the market. Both methods
can be used to good advantage by the
purebred men, and both methods will
help the live stock production of the
country.
