Mrs. Jones Describes Her Method ol
Feeding: and. Caring For Them.
A lady in the eastern states wrote
that she hatched 150 and raised one
young turkey, writes Mrs. Charles
Jones in The Poultry Keeper. If by
giving my way of caring for the poults
I can assist any one in avoiding such a
toss, I shall he very glad. Although I
have given my way of feeding and
earing time and again, I will repeat it
here, as some readers may not have
seen it.
When I take my young turks out of
the nest, I spray a box with lice killer
and put the old hen in, not closing it
up so tight that she cannot get some
fresh air. I leave her for two or three
hours, keeping the poults wrapped up
warm. I have a large dry goods box
with a sliding lath door to keep the
old hen in and let the little turkeys run
out in a tight yard. I have a hoard
door to let down to keep vermin out at
night and to keep them warm until the
weather gets settled.
My first feed is an egg put in cold
water and boiled hard for half an hour
or more and chopped shell and ail. I
only feed a little at a time and only
feed three times a day, as that is all I
can get time to do. I put in a little
chick size grit every morning and
cracked oyster shells. I find that both
chickens am. turkeys are healthier by
having grit mixed a little each morn
ing with their food. It is better than
risking their picking up enough but of
the grit box.
My next ration, after about two days,
is dandelion leaves chopped with the
eggs, with sour milk curd mixed in.
This is their morning feed. At noon
they get curd; at night, onions chopped
with the egg and curd. I only feed
what they will eat up clean in a short
time.
After a week or two I feed millet
mixed with the feed aud oatmeal. I
see by an article written for The Poul
try Journal by Mr. W. J. Bell that he
feeds turkeys shorts, aud J think i
shall try them later on, as I am always
bothered to find food enough after they
get bigger, but I like 1113- way of feed
ing at first, as I can get them so they
will jump over a hoard a foot high
when less than a week old. This way
of feeding makes them strong, and
they grow so rapidly.
Exercise is one of the great elements
to success with turkey raising, and
after the third day I always turn my
turkeys out to run during the day alter
the dew is off the grass until about 4
o’clock, when they are driven in and
fed for the night.
I think if the lady that lost so many
will try this way she will save her
turkeys. I scarcely ever have a droopy
or sick turkey, as my way of caring
for them keeps them healthy. Over
feeding, filth, lice and running in the
wet are death to turkeys. I always
raise my young turkeys in the breed
ing yards with my old turkeys, and 1
find they are like the human race, they
have the same love of home, and when
the breediug season comes around they
pick outiheir old breeding yard to run
in, aud by yarding them year after
year in the same place it is very little
trouble to get them to stay in their old
haunts. Some people contend that tur
keys poison ground and that it causes
sickness to keep them in the same
place year after year. This is a myth,
as freezing the ground month after
month purifies any soil unless large de
posits of droppings are left for them to
pick over.
Yferrs of the Editor of A Few Hem,
Who Knoivs From experience.
Broiler raising as a:i exclusive busi
ness is practically a failure. The
amount of risk in buying eggs for
hatching, the variety of stock hatched
and the varied condition of such stock
hatched lias given too much risk to
in oiler raising as an exclusive affair.
But combine the broiler business with
that of raising eggs for market, and
you have a combination that means a
year round income, and the risk of loss
is partly lessened. Selling eggs when
prices are high and turning them into
broilers whoa prices arc on the de
cline is a good rule to work by.
Prices for broilers have held out very
well during the past few years, as high
as 69 cents a -pound being reached.
When I first became interested in this
branch—it was in the infancy of the
industry—the prices kept hovering very
close to CO cents a pound. Yet at that
figure in those days tlfcre was less
profit than in 00 cents a pound today.
Why? We have breeds better adapted
to the work: we have better incuba
tors and brooding systems; we have
better knowledge^ of how to feed and
care, for the chicks. These improve
ments lessen the loss, and with less
risk we can make more profit.
During the past few years a new
branch has sprung up—the sale of
“squab broilers.” These are chicks at
a weight of from one-half to three-
fourths pound each. This demand was
created owing to the annual scarcity
of wild birds and especially squabs.
As high as 90 cents a pair has been
paid for tiiis class of goods. There is
a possibility of this branch being over
done, which would naturally lower the
price. It is a question in the minds of
broiler raisers whether it pays better
to sell squab broilers or raise them to
regular size. The argument is ad
vanced that the greatest loss is experi
enced during the early life of the chick,
and as it is easier to add weight after
a chick has reached three-fourths
pound there is more profit in the regu
lar broiler (one and one-half pounds).
There are fewer broiler plants in this
country today than ever before, but
the quality of broilers, the successful
measures, etc. make it a branch which
makes bigger profits than anything
else. That Is a fact, however, only
where eggs are raised at home. A care
ful inspection of the methods employ
ed. the success, etc. of tlie prosperous
growers has evinced the fact that the
secret of success lies in the selection of
a breed of fowls that will combine
growth and plumpness in the shortest
time after leaving the eggs. Such
stock kept at home and fed and cared
for so as to assure strong fertility
gives the broiler man material from
which he can produce the ideal article
1 give those facts briefly, as the im
pression has gone forth that the in
dustry is dead and that it died from
the effect of low prices and big cost.
There could lie no more cruel blow
struck. If dead—but it is not dead—it
died by careless handling from ineoni
petont men. The prices are not low
and never have been so low that they
did not afford a profit to the practical
man. The cost of production depends
upon the price of eggs, labor, methods,
etc. The practical man regulates these.
So it will he seen that, with experienc
ed work and common sense methods
and when made an adjunct to other
branches, broiler raising instead of
being dead is a live, healthy and profit
able business.—Michael C. Boyer in
Poultry Monthly.

The Post Hatch Test.
I had an unpleasant little adventure
with an egg the other day. It is my
custom whenever a lien hatches out
and leaves an egg uuchippcd to always
pierce the larger end and see if the
youngster has got into difficulties. This
time I was going through the same per
formance, and when I had seized upon
an innocent looking egg and dug my
knife point into the shell it suddenly
went off wilh a bang, aud the interior
squirted out all over my new spring
suit. If it had been election time, I
should not have grumbled, but the par
ish council was elected a year ago. and
there was not even a dispute. This
egg had mistaken its place aud ought
never to have taken up the calling of
a sitter. At present my new spring
suit hangs upon the clothesline a good
distance from the house, and the black
birds and starlings, that don’-t seem to
mind an unsavory odor, being brought
up in the trade, as it were, are carry
ing it away wholesale for nesting pur
poses. Let this he a warning to others,
as it will be to me. Don’t test eggs in
this manner after they have been sat
upon for three weeks. Get somebody
else to do it.—Mr. Jingle in Poultry
(England).

How tEc Famous Impresario Carried
a I’riir.a Donna In His Arms.
That an impresario’s 'c# is not a
happy oue the misadventure iu this
story gives abundant evidence. The
late Colonel .T. II. Mapleson, the famous
operatic impresario, related that the
first performance of “Lohengrin” in
New York city.gave him a great deal of
fatiguing work to do, and it was nearly
7 on the opening night when he sat
down to dinner.
He had scarcely begun when he was
summoned to the Everett House, where
the prima donna, Mine. Gerster, was
stopping, says the New York Journal.
He found her insensible from the result
of taking chloroform for a toothache.
The manager was in despair. He flung
open all the windows and by the aid of
soda water and sal volatile succeeded in
bringing the singer to a state of semi
consciousness. It was then 7:15, aud
ruin was staring him in the face. Be
fore the astonished family he flung a
shawl about Mme. Gerster and carried
her bodily (she was no lightweight) to
the carriage. Borne into her room shc-
swooned over her dressing table.
While efforts were being made to
bring her to, Mr. Mapleson directed the
stage hairdresser to fix her hair. It
was twenty minutes of 8 when Arditi
and the call bo.v entered the room, and
both looked upon the case as hopeless.
But the orchestra began to play, aud
Mme. Gerster was finally stood up on
her feet in a half unconscious condition.
“How can I sing when my hair is not
fixed?” she murmured in a dazed way.
She was informed that this had been
done while she was in the swoon. Mr.
Mapleson led her toward the entrance,
and, half supported by her attendants,
she made her appearance on the stage.
Colonel J. H. Mapleson's optimism,
his Ignorance of the value of money,
his expressive smile, his portly pres
ence, were well known in this aud ev
ery other country where opera lovers
congregate.
As far back "hs 1875 Colonel Maple
son led operatic enterprises I re. He
Introduced to the United States many
singers whose fame was and is world
wide. I11 his long career he directed no
fewer than 8,500 operatic performances
and 3,700 concerts. He was fend of
telling how, in I860, he first gave Ade
lina Patti an engagement. She agreed
then to appear four nights without pay,
the understanding being that if he ap
proved her she should have a regular
engagement.
After those four nights,” Colonel
Mapleson would say, “I agreed to give
her 8200 a week, and she had to sing
six nights a week. Twenty-five years
later I was paying her $8,000 a night.”
