family and can be easily grown with
proper care.
The parent stock must be strong and
vigorous, Just tho same as for chick
ens. Hens are In profit until five years of
age.
Gobblers should be changed every
year.
Hens must not be allowed to become
too fat before the breeding beason.

Infertile eggs result.
Ilemember that turkeys are of n

DISEASES OF TURKEYS
Fowls Are Subject to Same Trou
bles as Chickens.
Blackhead Is Most Destructive Ail
ment and Is First Indicated by
Sluggishness of Gait Place
BlrdB on Fresh Soil.
Turkeys are subject to the same
diseases as chickens, but to a much
greater extent.
Blackhead, which prevnlls to a
slight degree In the chicken yard Is
n destructive turkey disease. Chlck
enpor, canker and roup ure treated
aB for chickens.
Gnpo worms are treated by giving
camphor In tho water, or dusting n
little lime for the poults to Inhale
through n cheesecloth-covered box.
This causes the birds to sneeze, und
so to expel the worms.
Blackhead Is first Indicated by a
sluggishness of gait. The poult does
not look 111, but Is slow In coming in;
will linger for an evening or two,
sauntering in at the end of the llle of
stately birds. From lagging behind,
the affected bird drops out entirely,
and may be found stnnding with
drooped wings.
A slight yellowlsh-whlte discharge
about the vent Indicates the dis
turbed condition of the liver. The
chances are, when 11 bird reaches this
condition, that It will give opportunity
for a post-mortem In another day.
This will hhow the two blind pouches
of the intestines the caeca, or "blind
guts" as they are commonly called
filled with n thick whitish discharge,
and covered with ulcers. The liver
will be spotted, covered with circular
yellow ulcers or depressions.
When blnckhead Is discovered In
n llock, the birds should be placed
on fresh ground, and great care tak
en to prevent contamination of the
water through the droppings. A dose
of epsom salts from 11 scant tea
spoonful each to adult birds, to a tea
spoonful to every six poults should
be given. Turpentine In mash, or
stirred through scalded wheat Is a
good thing. (5lve a half pint in three
doses to -10 adult birds, on three suc
cessive mornings, and follow with a
dose of epsom salts.
Give all tho onions the birds will
ent chopped onion tops, roots and
even onion tea. For Individual treat
ment, take one egg, one tcaspoonful of
turpentine; bent well, and give a tea
spoonful of the mixture .night and
morning to a poult three months old,
half ns much to a poult the size of a
quail. If the bird won't eat, put tho
' turpentine and egg on n piece of bread
anil force down throut. Destroy the
' droppings.
PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET
Just as Important to Fatten Poultry as
It Is to Fatten Beef Cattle
or Other Animals.
It Is Just ns Important to fatten
chickens sent to the market as It is
to fatten hogs or beef cattle. In fact,
when the chicken comes from tho
range It Is In the proper condition to
put on economical gains. Students In
tho poultry department of the Uni
versity of Missouri found in re
cent tests that chickens will gain
about 23 per cent In 12 to 14 days'
feeding, That tills gain Is economical
was shown by the fact that the grain
required to put on a pound of gain
was approximately three and one-hulf
pounds.
hens make the most reliable breeders.
Turkejs are reliable for both in
cubating and brooding.
It Is a noted fact that If the gobbler
Is present when'tbe first clutch of egg."
Is laid, the second clutch will be fertile
without Its presence.
In .catching turkeys, avoid rough
handling.
The presence of the tapeworm may
be noted by dioopy condition of the
birds. Small pieces of the worm may
be found if the voldlugs are examined
carefully. An authority says that pow
dered male fern is a good remedy for
tapeworms. It may lie given in doses
from ,'H) grains to 0110 dram of the
powder, or from lfi to 30 drops of the
liquid extract. Give night and morn
lug before feeding, allowing the small
er dose for the youngest stock, but In
creasing the dose as they grow older.
Try oil of turpentine for the worms
that Inhabit the digestive tract.

Threatened Hunger Period May Be
Warded Off In Great Measure by
Attention to Chickens.
The hunger period which threatens
the United States and Its allies In the
present war may be warded off, In part
at least, by attention to the lowly
chicken, says A. C. Smith, head of the
poultry department of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture.
The hen Is the only producing creu
ture that can be prolltably kept on
small ureas such as city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste Into
u highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses a large part of her living for
several months In the year, and dur
ing this time Is usually a high pro
ducer of very fertile eggs. She re
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal.
She can be cared for by women and
children and often by Invalids and
convalescents.
For these reasons, Mr. Smith urges
tlint every well-selected hatchable egg
should be set at this season when eggs
are lower In price than nt any other
time of the year.
Other poultry Including ducks, geese,
nnd squubs should also receive careful
attention In view of the present and
future food situation.
CAUSE OF CHEEPING CHICKS
Either Head Lice or Too Much Gril
Before Feeding L6e Salty Grease
Jo Kill Pests.
When chicks stand and cheep, either
they have head lice or have had too
much grit before feeding and are
passing sharp pieces in the excreta.
Investigation will show these chicks to
be humped up, sleepy-eyed, sometimes
tilted back like unhappy kewples
Catch them, and the chances are thai
head lice are boring Into the little
heads, and gorging about the throats
of tho victims. Treat with salty
grease, melted and rubbed In well,
to prevent using too much. Too much
grease will kill. the chicks, especially
If they are exposed to the hot sun.
Grease the head, throat, a bit under
each wing, and about the vent.
Give the hen n good treatment for
lice. When a chick gets out of order,
lice multiply much faster on It. Many
cheeping chicks usually Indicate some
thing Is radically wrong with" the care
und feeding, ns well as having lice.
DON'T CROWD POULTRY HOUSE
Allow From Two to Four Square Feet
of Floor Space for Each Bird
of Small Varieties.
Do not crowd the poultry house.
From two to five square feet of door
space per bird should be allowed. Tho
exact ratio should depend upon the
breed and the extent of the yarding.
Ah n rule It will be found advisable
to allow about four square feet for
tho lighter breeds, such us the Leg
horns. CARRY FINE FOWL PROPERLY
Allow Bird to Rest on Forearm With
Its Head Between the Carrier's
Arm and Body.
When carrying a line fowl, hold tho
legs with one hand nnd allow tho bird
to rest on tho forearm with Its head
between tho carrier's urm and body.
This will prevent injury to tho wings
and tall, while making tho bird com
fortable and glvlug the currier a Urm
hold on it.
