The turkeyis removed only a few gen erations from the wild state, and with them it la better to err on the side of too great! exposure than too close housing. ' Turkey 'Mother a Necessity The eggs of turkeys can be success fully batched with an incubator, but a novice cannot raise the young in a brooder. It is sometimes done, but Is an expert's Job. Even a chicken hen usually raises but a small percentage of poults assigned her. A turkey mother Is almost a necessity. The prac tice in vogue where the greatest num beriossible to be raised from a given number of bens is desired, is to set one or two turke hens at the same time, and additional esse under chicken hens or in an incubator, and 'when the It's the wonder of all how we can give so much style and such wonderful quality for such rea sonable prices.

Little turkeys, like all other poul try, need nothing to eat till they are 4S hours old at least, and then spar ingly. Hard boiled eggs, chopped fine, are about the best feed to begin wfth. After that stale bread, dipped fat milk and squeezed dry. for a few meals, and then any feed that you would give lit tle chicks will be suitable for the lit tle turks.

T,he best substitute is finely ground green bone, though the, commercial product, beef scraps and ground bone are bet ter than nothing.

Should Be Kept In Large Coop When the old hen and poults are first taken from the nest they should be placed In a large coop, and the mother should be keat there for at least 10 days, allowincr the little fel- - lows to go in and orft at will, and this i coop should be where the little fellows I can have access to growing green stuff. After the lapse of 10 days the j mother turkey may be given a degree I of liberty with her brood, but care I should be taken to see that sha does l not run them to death, and also that she comes home to a good roosting place at night for It is a fault with turkeys to hover the brood for the night wherever darkness happens to overtake them. In the mornings' hen and -brood should be kept until about 10 oclock, to protect the little turke 2rom too prolonged exposure to the early cold. After 39 days all attention heeded il to give them plenty of range. A whole section is none too much. Artificial Hatching. The great advantage that the arti ficial method of hatching possesses over the natural is that an incubator Is at all times ready for work, and hatches equally well dnrlng the depth of winter as during April or Hay. Those who; are desirous of having a supply of chickens ready for the spring markets fanT, few branches are more profitable), must hatch during Decem ber. January and February, the very months during' whicK broody hens are an unknown qribntity. Later in the season, from March to June, sitters are procuraM in unlimited quantities, and for hatching stock for egg production the following winter and spring, these months are sufficiently early. Other advantages that incubators possess are that when dealing with a large num ber of eggs labor is reduced, and there is no danger of the eggs being for saken. On the other hand, hens do not necessitate the expenditure of any cap ital; they are more suitable for turkey, goose and duck eggs, an equal temper ature is maintained throughout the period of Incubation: and the chick ens, wbfen hatched, require less cane and attention. . , The claim is frequently made both by the advocates of the natural and artificial methods, that a larger per centage of fertile eggs is hatched by means of a hen or an incubator, in accordance with their preference. My experience is that there Is practically nothing to choose between the two methods so far as actual results are concerned. Provided that the eggs are fresh, and that they contain strong anil vfpArfliii rerms. the one is eauallv I satisfactory as the other. It is some- ' times stated that chickens hatched ar tificially are neither so strong nor possess such vigorous or healthy con stitutions as those brought out in the natural way. With this I very strong ly disagree, for I have never fodnd any difference in this respect. Chicle -ens hatched in an incubator are as strong and as' easy to raise, provided that an equable temperature is main tained during the few weeks of incu bation. With the great increase of the non sitting .races of poultry, broody hens are certainly becoming no more plenti ful, and those who maintain only birds of this claee have no option but te rely upon incubators, or else to buy sitting hens when they require them, a plan that rarely proves satisfactory.

Aato 1786t 701 TEXAS ' 218 MESA holme: ? ? , longing to the Asiatic or general pur pose class make the best sitters and mothers, in other words, the winter laying varieties. If a hen has pro duced her proper proportion of eggs during the colder months, she deserves to be allowed to follow her natural in stincts, besides which, the res of sit ting does her good. The great fault that many lay to the charge of the Wyandotte, Orpington and Plymoutn Rock, is that they are such inveterate sitters. It should be remembered In this connection, however, that as a rule they do not want to sit until well into the spring, when eggs are fairly plen tiful, and consequently cheap. If. a hen has laid well fronv November to IMarch one can afford to let her sit, for by this time the non-sitters are in full lay A point that many people lose sight of Is that it ays better to keep a hen which lays, say. IS eggs during the winter than one that lays 16. or even ISO during the spring and sum mer. A separate sitting box should be provided for each hen. for absolute quietude lsavery essential factor to wards satts&ctory results.' If a hen is disturbed, or if she can see - the other fowls, there Is great likelihood of her forsaking her eggs, or, at all events, of becoming extremely restless. An orange box gives capital accommo dation for, two hens at a cost of prac tically ndthing. If a special oox is made It should measure about 16 inches square, and 18 inches high, which al lows the hen plenty of fresh air. Early in the season It is better to place the sitting box beneath a shed, but as soon as the weather becomes a little warm er It may be placed In the open. The box is better without a bottom, awd It should rest upon the ground Itself, in order to allow the moisture from the earth to reach the eggs. Jf there Is danger from rats' the bottom may be covered with smalJ mesh wire .netting. Some .holes should be pierced' around the top of the sides, so as to allow a gentle current of air to .pass through, also a few about four Inches from the ground, on a level with the eggs With out an abundance of pure air the result will be unsatisfactory, and the chick ens will lack hardiness and' Vigor. In side the box there should be placed a shovel full of earth, hellowee ant in the center in the form at a .saucer. then a thin layer of straw uportiigrhleh the eggs -rest. Oat straw Isuetter than wheat or barley, as the Matter are rather stiff. I prefer straw to hay, as the latter absorbs some of the heat from the eggs Lack of moisture is a somewhat com mon cause of unrui cessful hatching re sults, for in this case the two thin skins immediately inside the shell be come thick and tough giving the chicken great difficulty to pierce. Very often the eggs are damped with a wet cloth, but a plan that I have found to ?'e better results is to water the .irth around the outside of the nest 1-iiX twice or Thrice a week The heat i the hms b' in attracts the moisture thiuush tin. earth within th.' Im.x. through the straw, and so to the eggs, i i'n the day previous to hatching it is .i good pln to dip the eRgs'for fie or ten seconds into water heated to In rteg y w huh has the effect ; ofie: Ing these two skins, and so making the exit of the chicken somewhat easier. Cooling the eggs should take place once a day, the time depending on the outside temperature. On a cold day ten minutes is quite sufficient, where as during warm weather half an hour Is none too long. The daily cooling is for the sake of the embryo chickens within the shells, and not so much for the sake of the hen. It is found that without daily airing the chickens make their appearance sooner, but they .are less hardy, arid Involve considerable difficulty to rear. While the eggs are cooling, the hen should be fed, and her daily meal should consist of hard grain and not soft mash. The reason for this is that beintr fed but once a day a food is needed that takes, a long time to digest, so as to sustain her during the long fast. Wheat and maize are the best grains for the purpose. A liberal sup ply of water, green food and grit ahml.l Wo nrnvMMl all at whiflh are neoeasarv to malmain health. Some hens If they had their own way would rarely leave the nest, only once every second or third day; but a sitting hen should be made to quit her eggs for from ten minutes-to naif an hour once every day, even though she has to he lifted off. While the eggs are -hatching the empty shells, should be removed two or three times a day; if tbey are allowed to remain, a half shell may be come fixed onto a full egg; with the result that the chicken has two Mtells to pierce instead of one. frequently causing Its death. The chickens should remain In the nest until thej ' 4nlto dry. when they, together with the hen, should be removed to a coop. American Poultryman. El Pasoans Away S. Bngelklng.
