exclusively 10 turkey raising are
operated. Usually from 10 to Is tur-
key hens and one vigorous tom con-
stitute flock, the fowls being allowed
free range during the breeding and
laying season. The turkey flock re-
quires particular care during the lay
Ing and Matching season and during
the early life of the young poults, or
until these youngsters are able to
range at large with their mother.
The incubation period OF turkey
eggs is four weeks. the average rum
ber of peu,ts raised under ordinary
conditions being about 30 per cent OF
those hatched out, or about seven
poults for every turkey hen. The great
est loss occurs when the poults are
quite young, the high mortality result
ing largely from exposure TO damp
ness and cold, improper feeding, close
confinement, lice, and predatory ami
mails, and to inherent weakness. the
result of carelessness In selection of
parent stock. AS soon as the poults
ere old enough, the mother hen and
ier brood should be placed on the
range in an individual coop, where the
hen may be confined and the poults
allowed TO pick about on grass. clover,
alfalfa and other green feed at will.

accustomed TO this feed.
Young poults usually remain with
tho nnthar hen until ahOut Ocfohar
or November, when the males ordi-
narily separate from the females and
range by themselves. Improper feed
ing combined with close confinement
has been the cause OF many failures
in turkey raising. When on free range
the poults are busy searching for
feed most of the day. and hence there

Experience In more recent years has
proved, however. that rabbit raising

Is as yet comparatively small, Il Is

souri,, the domesticated rabbit Is rec.

Rabbits are shipped alive TO market
In crates or are neatly dressed ready
for cooking and are packed In san
itary manner for transportation.
There are numerous Instances OF
profitable rabbit raising. A resident in
Kansas City, kans., has raised 300
TO 400 pounds Of rabbit meat for use
on his own table, ut cost of about
half the present meat prices. A large

occurs no overfeedlng or lack Of ex'
ercise. Even If the range Is good and
the supply of insects abundant. 1t Is
usually advisable to have the flock
come home at night-the daily feeding
of little grain inducing the return
Of the birds to the home roost-in
order TO accustom. the fowls to COM
mon sleeping place.
Natural Roosts for PouIts.
At the age of about weeks the
turkeys are old enough to go to roost.
Most turkey raisers allow the birds
to roost In open trees or on fences,
OF on other roosts especially provided.
One of the greatest difficulties Is to
keep fiocks from wandering over too
wide an area and invading neighbor-
ing farms. To some extent feeding
heavily night and morning reduces
the area over which turkeys range,
but even then they often 60 too far.
An effective plan is to drive them Into
an inclosure, and keep them there un-
til about noon.
Fattening for Market.
Turkeys are fattened for market
from about the 1st Of October up to
selling time. They are fed just enough
so that they go away still feeling a lit'
tie hungry. The quantity Is gradually
increased until they are given all they
will clean up three times day during
the week before marketing. Some tur-
key raisers feed wheat and oats dur
| Ing the first part Of the fattening
season, gradually changing to corn
as the weather becomes cooler. New
| corn can be fed safely II the turkeys
are gradually accustomed to Ii by feed
ing lightly at first. AS rule, 1t has
not paid to confine turkeys during the
fattening period, as they lose appetite
and get Off feed when penned up.
Nuts of various kinds are natural
fattening feed picked up by the turl
keys on the range. or these beech
Huts, chestnuts, pecans and acorns are
those most commonly used. Many Tex,
as turkey ralsers depend solely upon
acoITis for fattening their turkeys, and
! when such mast is plentiful the birds
are marketed in fairly good condition.
Holidays Best Market Season.
The marketing season for turkeys Is
short, tabnlng from the middle of Nos
vember to the latter part of December.
Most turkey raisers sell their birds
alive to poultry dealers who either
dress them or ship them alive to city
dealers. Farmers near the city mars
kets and particularly those in the Mid
die Atlantic and New England states
often dress the turkeys and either sell
them direct to the consumer or to ctyl
dealers. In some sections shortly be-
fore 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 sold to the highest bidder. In the
extensive turkey raising sections of
Texas. dressing plants have been built
by poultry dealers who buy the birds
alive and dress them for city markets.

GREAT SHORTAGE OF HOUSES
REPORTED At MkTAWah
BIZ Special correspondens.


MATAWAN. Jan. 1s.-Never be-
fore has this Borough felt the lack OF
houses as at the present time. This
scarcity in houses began during the
first year OF the war n today. al
though many new houses have been
erected and others are in course OF
erection the lack of housing accom-
modations still prevails. One cause OF
this is no doubt due to the fact that the
A. z. Munning Company here has
moved it's Newark plant to Matawan,
thus making this town the seat Of it's
operations.
When the Munning Company first
decided to locate the entire plant here
they realized that it would be neces-
sary to bring many of their skilled
workmen from Newark to Matawan,
and as there were no houses here in
which they could live, the Company
decided to purchase property with
houses for their employees which they
could pay off at a reasonable rate
With this idea in view the Company
began to buy up everything In sight,
the first buy consisting of a row Of
two family houses belonging to the
Tunis r. Schenck estate in Little
street and also a row of two family
houses in the same street belonging In

living quarters as the Munning Com
pany served notice that the houses
must be vacated. This started a great
deal Of activity as these people must
have homes and when 1t was found
there were no other places for rent or
lease, they began to buy.
When these people started to pur-

houses were taken over the residents

they In TURF purchased property. Some
have purchased lots and many new
houses are being started, but still the
demand here is greater than ever be-
fore and there seems to be little pos
sibllity that 1t will let UP for some
time to come
The fact the other factories are

more people will flock here in the
near future, and now that there In
| considerable talk of building a tenn
porary lake on the east side Of the
town, this lake to be connected with
the lake on the west side when 1t Is
