WELFARE OF YOUNG TURKEYS
Dampness Is Fatal to Poults During
First Few Weeks—Allow Flocks
to Roam at Will.
Young turkeys must have dry ground
on which to roam. Dampness is fatal
during the first few weeks. Poults
that come out in bright weather and
ore blessed with two weeks of sun
shine in which to got a start In life,
may leave earlier-hatched birds behind.
Assuming that the parent stock is vig
orous, young turkeys are not dillicult
to rear successfully. The mother tur
key will rid herself of vermin and
teach the young to do the same if she
has access to a good dust bath. A lit
tle pure lard or sweet oil on the b<*td
and under the wings of the poults will
destroy lice effectively.
Unless the weather is unusually
warm and dry it is better to keep the
vnimt* liinls: in •> r-< > < •; t. iitu'ii • ir
the tlrst two weeks of their life. After
that they may he allowed to ire where
they will, except that it is better not
to let them out until the dew has dried
off in the morning for a few weeks
longer. Restraint is detrimental to
turkeys, as a general thing. The av
erage grower should allow the Hooks
to roam over the fields at will. U\ so
doing they will pick up nearly all of
their summer and early fall food.
MALE IS DISTURBING FACTOR
Practice of Allowing Roosters Free
dom of Flock After Hatching Sea
son Is Over Is Bad.
(By X E. QUISENBEKKY.)
The one fault in the management of
farm flocks which, from the viewpoint
of improving the ijuality of market
eggs, is worst than all others com
bined, is the almost miiv* rsal practice
of ullowing the males the freedom of
the flock after the hatching season is
over. Nine-tenths of the vast number
of eggs that are candled out every
summer as unlit for food are fertile
eggs in which the genu has started to
develop. A temperature of 70 de
grees will start the germ in a fertile
egg to slowly developing. A fertile
egg subjected to a temperature of 100
degrees for 24 hours will he unfit for
food, while an Infertile egg may be
subjected to tl e same temperature for
a week and still be perfectly good for
cooking purposes.
The simple expedient of shutting
up or disposing of the adult male
birds as soon as the hatching season
is over, if it should become the general
custom, would result in the saving of
a million of dollars’ worth of eggs
every season. Another important ad
vantage in having no males in the
laying pens is the fact that the liens
without mules running with them are
much more gentle and quiet. The
male is a disturbing factor.

FEEDS FOR HOG PRODUCTION
Best Information on Efficient Forage
and Grain Crops Given by Ex
periment Station.
Tin* host information on the feeds
available in the farmers’ locality can
lie readily and accurately given by his
state experiment station. Pigs make
the best use of concentrates. These
can be fed in a self-feeder and can be
supplemented by various slaughter
house, bakery, or table by-products,
etc. A by-product to be economical
should be fairly concentrated, should
be moderate in price per 100 pounds
of nutrients, and should be fresh and
free from taint.
During the winter, leguminous hays

I summer, pasture crops such as rape,
j alfalfa, hur clover, crimson clover, rye,
etc., make very economical and effi
cient supplements for hog feeding.
In practically every farming district
in the United States cheap and effl
' cient forage and grain crops are avail
aide for hog production. These should
be diligently studied by the farmer,
with the aid of the state and federal
forces, and used in the most profit
able manner.
ATTENTION TO WORK HORSES
Animal Should Be Fed Right to Secure
Greatest Amount of Labor
From Them.
To secure the greatest amount of
work from the horse requires that it
be fed right. There is a big difference
in the feeding of horses and cattle.
The horse’s stomach holds only a few
gallons, while a cow’s paunch has a
capacity of over a barrel, which means
that the horse must be fed more con
centrated food. It also takes more en
ergy to digest roughage than grain.
Team Disking Corn Stubble.
The morning and noon feeds should
• be the lightest and should consist
largely of grain, the heavy feed being
given in the evening. Some make a
, practice of giving otic-quarter of the
daily ration in the morning, one-quar
ter of it at noon, and the other half in
the evening. If the horse has a grain
feed followed by a big feed of hay, the
■ grain is pushed out of the stomuvh
before being digested.
Watering before feeding is usually
■ the best practice. The horse vvill eat
better, and if a large amount of water
■ is taken after the grain has been eaten,
: it will push some of the grain out of
; the stomach before it is digested.—

FEEDING THE WORKING MARE
She Will Require More Care and Feed
Than One Turned Into Pasture
Colt Must Exercise.
Where the services of the mare are
required for farm work, the colt should
be shut in a paddock or in a large box
stall.
A Western authority on horse rnis
r fug says the mare that is worked while
t nursing a foal will require more care
in her feeding and general handling
than the one that is turned out to pas
ture with nothing to do save raise the
colt. The working mare must be fur
. nished not only with energy sufficient
for her to keep up her end of the
I work, but she must at the same time
nourish another and growing body.
The crushed oats and bran given the
colt will aid greatly in keeping tip
his growth and development under
such conditions.
As soon as he has passed his first
weeks of life the colt should be given
ample opportunity for exercise in a
roomy lot. Where he has the run of
a pasture t his mother's heels the re
quirement of exercise will take care of
itself.

RUSTED STRAW FOR FEEDING
Value Demonstrated by Experiments
Made by Canadian and Other
Experiment Stations.
There has evidently not been much
investigation on the effect of rust on
straw as to Its feeding value. Most of
the analyses made show that rust in
creases the feeding value of the straw.
The Dominion experiment station in
Canada and the experiment stations in
North Dakota and Minnesota, have
found that the rusted straw has a
larger feeding value than rust-free
straw. The analysis made at the
North Dakota experiment station one
year, however, showed that the straw
had a decreased feeding value. 1 he
reason for an increase feeding value
Is explained by the fact that the plant
first produces the nourishment in the
stein and leaves and lat*r passes it up
into the head to fill out the kernels.
The rust interferes with this iood
passing up into the head. It has a
little the same effect as cutting the
grain for hay.
The value of the rusted straw de
pends on a good many factors, among
which are the time at which rust
strikes the crop, how the straw is
cured, and whether it has any shriv
eled grain in it. Cases have been re
ported in which animals have heeii
harmed by being fed rusted straw.
One way to determine if it is harm
ful is to feed it to a few of the h 's
valuable animals for a week or two
and observe the effect that it has on
them. Some other roughage should lie
fed with the rusted straw and do not
make a sudden change from other
feed to rusted straw. Shaking the
straw to remove the dust as far as pos
sible is also advisable, observe the
animals that are being fed rusted
straw to see what effect it has on them.
