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.

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). * SEND YOUR JOB PRINTING TO y THE CITIZEN JOB OFFICE,Wayi 63 r-'vro. Ga. InsH'^Court Blanksa spa clalty Eatlmatai obaarfnlly furnish *4.

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.” To select tail clothing is right now.
