THE RICH COUNTY HATCH TURKEYS IN INCUBATORS Eggs Given Same Treatment as the Ordinary Hen. It takes days but turkey eggs can be hatched in incubators just the same as hens eggs. Turkey raisers in several parts of Colorado are saving hours and days of hard labor that way and in the eastern part of Wyoming It is almost the universal practice. The big Job is to get enough eggs together at one time for a setting. They should not be held for more than ten days, according to Charles N. Keen of the Colorado agricultural college, should be kept at a temperature of from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and turned daily. The incubator should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected then warmed to the correct temperature. The temperature of hatching turkeys eggs In the case of small machines, where the heat is at the top, f may be degree to one degree lower average than for hens eggs. As a guide for those who do not have the instructions for the average temperature starts at about 101 degrees and increases to about 103 or 104 degrees the last week. If the eggs carry good fertility, the body heat from the developing poul.ts will gradually bring up the temperature of the machine. Additional moisture Is needed as with hens eggs. (A tray of sand kept wet will supply it) Turkey poults should not be taken from the Incubator until they are thoroughly dried off and appear strong on their legs. When the eggs are set under hens or turkey hens, steps should be taken to insure freedom from lice or mites as these parasites cause very serious losses among the young poults. The nest boxes should be sprayed before the eggs are set The setting hen should be dusted thoroughly with saponified sodium fluoride or some other good lice powder at least three times during the latter part of the setting period, but prior to the twenty-fifth day. 2S full-size- d tme-hal- their-machin- Define Good Litter for Brooder House There Is no best litter to use in the brooder house, but there are certain requirements a litter must meet to be It should be light in satisfactory. weight, thus allowing the droppings and dirt to work to the floor so the chicks are less likely to come in contact with contaminated material ; it should be absorbent, and therefore capable of keeping the floor of the brooder house dry; cheap, so one can afford to replace it every five days after the first four weeks ; and should be clean, which means free from mold, mustiness and dust. Shavings, cut straw and cut hay meet these requirements. These are not the only materials that one can use. but they are among the best. Straw or hay used for litter, should always be cut.' If the straw or hay Is not ctit it becomes matted and covered with droppings, and is therefore of no value for litter.

Necessity may bring a man into court, but it knows no law. When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, bock in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not aa reat as today. People lived normal livea, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe stimulant. bowel This prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative. It has won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief from headaches, biliousness, flatulence, indigeof appetite and sleep, bad stion,-loss breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers.

Professor Fuller suggests a minie mum of ten cows for each worker, assuming that the man who cares for ten cows will also do some other work about the farm. He says that a man with fifteen cows can well afford a milking machine and recommends the use of litter carriers and drinking cups to keep labor costs on the dairy farm to a minimum.

Blackman, of the animal husbandry department of the college of agriculture of the Ohio State university. Not only are the feeding conditions uniform through the period of heaviest milking, Blackman points out, but toward the end of the lactation period the fall cows are turned out on green pasture and receive an extra stimulus to their milk flow. When the flies and dry pastures of summer occur, these cows are giving so little milk anyhow, that these difficulties do not seriously affect their total milk production for the season. Since fall freshening cows produce more milk, every possible means should be taken to fit them for fresh Often, cows ening, says Blackman. running dry toward the end of the pasture season are allowed to stay out in some back pasture very late, and as a result come into the bam late and in low flesh.

Care is necessary to protect the milk from dust and dirt after it Is drawn. Except when the milk Is actually being poured into the strainer, it should be kept covered at all times to prevent the entrance of dust and insects.

Sterility of Cattle Is Great Loss to Dairying Sterility of cattle or their failure to reproduce is one of the greatest sources of loss to the dairy Industry. Experiments have shown that some forms of sterility In cows can be overcome by feeding sprouted oats. Sprouted grains, together with regular exercise, are effective also In prolonging the active service of valuable sires. Other experiment show that of the proper quality are available, cows of more than average producing capacity obtain sufficient nutrients from a ration consisting entirely of roughage. when-roughage- s Aafiria 4a Ike at Bayer Maaateetoae C Mawwitodliaa e aaHrUM |
