PROPER FEEDING BIG FACTOR
No Matter How Good the Breeding
May Be, Good Care Must Be
Given fon Best Results

Breeding plays an important part
In successful poultry operation, but
the factor Of good feeding and the
proper management Of the flock plays
a far more important part than many
poultry keepers have been led to be-
lieve. Breeding, no matter how good,
can accomplish but little In produc-
ing results unless backed by proper
feeding and care. The best Of breed
ing will give but poor results If the
proper care and feed are not COM
piled with.

FATTENED ON RANGE
Flesh Gains In Flavor and Tenderness
In Way 1t Cannot IL Fowl is
Confined.

It Is Just as important to have turk
eys In good plump condition before
marketing as 1t is chickens. However,
"a good many farmers regard this as a
hard job simply because there Is con-
siderable misunderstanding as to the
correct way to go about the matter.
Turkeys, If taken Alright, are easily
ifattened; in fact, easier than most
other fowls. But If turkeys have had
free range all summer. you cannot
fatten them with any satisfaction in
an enclosure. The change viii cause
them to fret and refuse to eat and
thus they will lose instead Of gain In
weight. On the other hand, If they
range too much while being fattened,
they will "run off, the beneficial eff
tects Of your extra feeding. The right
plan is therefore a compromise be-
tween these two extremes. Teach the
turkeys to com up every evening at
least, and then stuff them with all they
will possibly eat. You will soon find
them ranging at short distances only
and coming up even between feeding
times, where they should always be
able to find some sort Of attractive
food.
Don't try to fatten the turkeys on
corn alone. A close diet Of new corn
often results in boW1l troubles for the
turkeys just as it does for hogs, and
a sick turkey Is usually a dead turk
ey. Mix the fattening ration; variety
is desirable for several eason Equal

Would Jail intoxicated
ChauHeurs.

Al member Of the North Carolina
state legislature has signifed his in
tention of introducing a bill provid-
ing that anyone convicted Of driving
an automobile in North Carolina
while Intoxicated shall be sentenced
to serve time in jail or on the roads.
A New York judge said last week
that automobile accidents were be-
coming so numerous that it might be
necessary to limit the number Of
pleasure ar in Americas largest
city.
There is no doubt that the automo-
bile situation in large centers Of pop
ulation is becoming a larger prob
lem, and the report of $4,000 deaths
due to automobile accidents in this
country during the past year has
caused considerable thinking among
the people.
Of course not near all automobile
accidents are caused by intoxicated
chauffeurs, but it is reasonable to
suppose that a good per cent of them
are.
A man with a tank full of gas and
a body full of booze is a dangerous
animal. The North Carolina legisla-
tor may be right in thinking that the
fear of a road sentence would have a
SOLDERING effect upon the drunken
driver.-Greenville News.

els, which are used for feeding the
calves, each day, the same as the milk

Don't Feed Together.
You can't raise healthy calves by
feeding several Of them, Of different
sizes, in a trough. It is economy to
feed calves In stanchions, asserts Geo.
H. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural
college. They will spill less milk and
cannot suck each others ears, which Is
detrimental. The fat that has been
removed in skimming may in a meas
'ure be substituted by adding a handful
Of linseed or cornmeal to each pail Of
milk. Calves will begin to eat hay and
grain at an early age, especially if
they are in the same pen with older
calves. The main thing In raising
calves Is cleanliness, regularity, and
freedom from overlooking.
