There art two principal advantages which are set forth for this practice. The first is that such nests will be freer of mites on account of the' fine dust from the straw or other litter dropping through and the second is that there will be fewer broken eggs. Nests wbich are constructed on this plan may be easily sprayed for mites, which is an advantage in their favor. When the straw gets low in the nests eggs will not be so. easily broken as they would iii board nests. Established 1924 Published" 1st' and I5th of Each. Month at Roosevelt Utah.

It takes from four to five and one half pounds of grain to produce one pound of turkey, prepare growing mash, as follows: Millrun 23 per cent, ground oats 20 per cent ground barley 6G per cent; add to this 5 per cent bone meal and one pound of salt. Where turkeys have --free range they will feed on insects to take care of the protein in the feed ration.1 Furnish them only sour milk or clabber and give them all they will consume.
