1t is a good practice to reserve a
small corner of the garden for a
seed bed. Here, through special prep
aratiOn of the soil it is possible to pro-
duce better plants than could other
wise be secured. The gardener can
transplant from the seed bed 10 the
garden, thus making the plants more
stocky. The location of an outdoor
seed bed should be such that it may
be conveniently reached for watering
and it should be naturally protected
from drying winds.
Good soil for a seed bed consists
of one part Of well-rotted manure, two
parts of good garden loan or rotted
sOds and one part of sharp, fine. sand.
The manure should be thoroughly
rotted, but it should not have been
exposed TO the weather and the
strength leached out of it. The addi-
ton of leaf mold or peat will tend TO
make the soil better adapted for seed
bed purposes. Mix all the ingredients

For poults the turkey hen is the
best mother that can be found She
knows their needs and can talk to
them in a language they soon learn
TO understand At the approach Of
any danger she gives a low, warning
note that sends them scurrying in
every direction for a weed or patch
of green grass where then can lie
fiat on the ground safely hidden from
view. While on free range. she keeps
her brood together by talking continu-
ously in contented, purring tone, so
that the pOults always know where
she is.
When her poults become widely sep
arated, or if some become lost. and
she hears their peep, peep" she calls
them with the characteristic yelp
heard so frequently during the laying
season. Now and then, while the
pOultS are but a few days old. she
catches a grasshOpper or other insect
and calls the poults TO come and get
it. They soon learn to find their own
feed, however, and range out ahead
of the mother hen in search of what
ever they can find.
Young turkeys usually remain with
the mother hen until about October or
November, when the males ordinarily
separate from the females and range
by themselves. When two turkey hens
with brOods of about the same age
are turned out on free range together
they will remain in one flock. and as
this makes it easier to hunt them up
