Plenty of exercise is essential if
the turkey poults are to thrive, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture At
all times, when rain or dampness does
not prevent, the poults should be al
lowed to run in and out of the coop
at will. Too much stress can not be
given to the necessity Of exercise,
and the only way to provide for this
is to allow the poultS at every pos
SIble opportunity to range for feed
outside the coop. During q long con-
tmucd rainy season it is better to al
low them to run out of the coop when
ever it is not actually raining; even
though the grass is somewhat damp.
Keep The Coop Dry.
BY conlining the mother hen to the
coop she will always be ready to how
cr the poults whenever they run to
her, which they will do if they become
chilled. The greatest care should be
taken to keep the interior Of the coop
dry, and for this reason it is advisable
to choose sandy slope where the
water runs off quickly and where
there is also protection from heavy
rams. If necessary the mother hen
can be confined to roomy coop for
Il week or more, provided she is prop
crly fed and watcrcd, and the coop
moved to fresh ground every day.
IT the weather is warm and dry, as
frequently happens when the poults
are hatchcd late in the season, no
shelter is required, as they do better
in the open; but it is advisable to keep
them within fenced inclosurc for the
first three or four days until they are

the biscuits on baking shcc. or in
shallow tins busted lightly with flour
and bake in a rather hot oven for 10
to - minutes or until thoroughly
baked.
Drop Biscuits
TO save time in preparation or
when no cutter is at hand the dough
may be made somewhat softer than
above and dropped on the tin by spoon
fuls about onc-half inch apart. The
mixture, although soft should be stiff
enough not to spread on the tin, vet
soft enough so that the biscuits when
baked have Il smooth, rounded surface
rather than rough, lumpy one. If
desired. the top may be brushed with
milk or smoothcd gently with knife
dipped into water on milk, Bake as
above.
These ''cmcrgency" or drop biscuits
are not quite like the rolled ones, vet
if of the proper consistency they arc
equally good. Indeed, some excellent
Judges Of pastry insist that they arc
always Il little more tender.

Be sure that the milk is sufficiently
sour to ncutraliZc all the soda.

COMBINING HEN IN COOP
REDUCES LOSS OF CHICKS S

Chicks Matched during the winter
should be broodcd in a poultry house
or shed while the outside weather con
ditions are mfavorablc; aftt" the
weather becomes settled they should
be reared in brood coopS out Of doors.
1t is best to make brood coops so that
they can be closed at night, to keep
out cats, rats, and other animals, and
enough ventilation should be allowed
so that the hen and chicks will have
plenty of fresh air.
The hen should be confined in the
coop until the chicks arc wcancd,
while the chicks are allowed free
range after they are a few days old.
Where mems are allowed free range
and have to forage for feed for them
selves and chicks, they often take the
latter through wet grass, where they
may become chilled and die Most of
the feed the chicks get by foraging
goes to keep up the heat of the body,
whereas feed eaten by those that are
with the hen that is confined produces
more rapid growth, as the chicks do
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-05-25

strong enough to follow the mother
Weather conditions being favorable,
the hen and brood can be given free
range after the third or fourth day,
but care should be taken to keep them
out of heavy dcwS and to protect
them from rain for the first two or
three weeks. After this early morn
ing dcws or light showers followed
closely by warm sunshine will do lit
tic harm, IS the poults soon become
warm and dry. If cold, damp wealth
cr sets in, however, they will need to
be kept in dry quarters, for nothing
is more fatal to young poults than
wet and cold.
Rearing the Young Turkeys
When about six weeks old the young
turkeys are old enough to go to r0Ost.
Practically all turkey raiscrs allow
the birds to roost in the open trees or
on fences or other rOostS especially
provided for them. In sections where
high winds prevail it is customary to
build the roosts next to a barn or
shed, where there is some protection.
When this is done posts are driven
into the ground and poles laid across
them 4 or > feet from the ground By
driving them to the roosting place
and feeding them there every evening
just before dark, young turkeys can
be made to rooSt wherever desired.
For the first few times it is some
times necessary to keep them under
the rooSt until dark, but they will
finally fly up, and after a week or so
will no longer have to he Oh ven, but
will come up every night to be fed
and to roost.
During the summer and early fall
turkeys can find an abundance of
feed on the average farm. Grasshop-
pcrs and other insects, weeds and
grass seeds, green vegetation, berries,
and grain picked up in the fields all
go to make up the turkeys daily ra-
ton. When this natural feed is
plcntifully very little need be added
until fattening time, except for the
purpose of bringin gthc turkeys
every night to roost and to keep them
from straying from home. For this
purpose one feed of grain every night
JUS: Before roosting time is sufficient.

l0t have so much exercise.

ioL nave so much exercise.
In most broods there are one or two
chicks that are weaker than the 9TH
crs, and if the hen is allowed free
range the weaker ones often get be-
hind and out of hearing of the moth
er's cluck and call In most cases this
results in the loss and death of these
chicks, due to becoming chilled. II
the hen is confined, the wealilings can
always find shelter and heat under
her, and after a few days may develop
into strong. healthy chicks.
The loss in young chicks due to al
lowing the hen free range is mdoub-
tedly large, say poultry specialists in
the United States Department of Ag-
riculturc. Chicks frequently have to
be caught and put into their coops
during sudden storms, as they are apt
to huddle in some hole corner
where they get chilled or drowned.

WHAT SPOKANE COUNTY IN
DOING

Interested in the problem Of mall
nutrition among their children. the
farm bureau women Of Spokane
county recently weighed and measur-
ed rural children, and found that
40 per cent of those measured were
seven per cent, or more, under
weight. Malnutrition"-thati is. i'm
properly prepared foods cited as
the most probable cause of the con-
dition discovered.
Parents, school boards, and teach
ers in rural Spokane county have
been induced to cooperate in provid-
ing a hot lunch for the school chill
dren during the present winter. A
few weeks after the hot lunch vas
started, many of the children at
tanned normal weight.
The home economics specialists
and demonstrators Of the State
College extension service say that the
percentage of "malnutritiOn" dis
covered by the farm bureau women
of Spokane is about the average that
has been discovered among rural
children in other parts of the United
States.
