To fatten turkeys I feed corn and wheat mixed part of the time and clear corn for a change. The grain la given twice a day at morning and noon. At night 1 give a mash of boiled meal and boiled sweet apples all they will eat. To dress turkeys, put them in a bag so that they will not flutter, draw the head through and bleed in the neck.

After the harvesting of the grain crops, and before tbe corn is ready to cut. farmers usually have time which they cau give to hauling manure on the land before fall plowing. Spread tl • manure directly from the wagon or In • mediately after hauling it to the field. If left- In small piles In the field for any length of time the liquids will leak ard be absorbed only on tbe spot covered. Manure should be evenly spread over the surface. Again, manure which is left In hills for a long time will pack, and It will be difficult to scatter It wbeq you are ready to do that work. Fields whM> are foul with thistles and ocher weeds should by all means be plowed early If the season be dry.—G. H. Wilson. Muscovy Ducks. TT.is' tjreed was at one time very popular among tbe duck raisers of Long Island, but. has been mostly superseded by tbe Be kin Some growers, however, stlil prefer the white Muscovy, or a cross of this variety with other breeds, os account of Us large size and rapid growth. ^ The pure bleed has white plumage, light beak and yellow legs. The standard weight is 10 pounds for a grown drake compared with eight pounds for a Pekin drake. Their defects consist of poor laying quality and an extremely ridons and quarrcUome disposition. Tbe pair shown In the Illustration are members of the flock at Exmoor farm*. Lebanon. Pa. The bare red patches about the face are oharcterislic of the breed, and give the bird a fierce appearance which Is fully Justified by the fighting qualities of the males. Open Air for Horses. The Creator intended the open air for the horse s element. A -jotm condemned to Imprisonment In a dark stall, without exerriM. without fresh air and the glint of the bright aunahlne on h!s coat, will become as weak and use lees as a prisoner who shows the pallor of years of incarceration behind dungeon walls, says the Horsr Breeder. Light exercise sends the good. warm, blood flowing through channels to every part of the body, decaying are rebuilt by the current that has been purified in Its contact with the freah air In the lungs. Tbe digestive organs perform their severs] functions more perfectly, and so more rich, red, nourishing blood Is made. A sound horse does not need •Timbering up" in the strict sense of the term, but It Is nsturs's decree that tbe muscles of tbe animal, as well as the human body, should not be allowed to soften and decay by reason of lack of work. Hog Pasture. It Is not safe or even desirable to rely upon a single crop to furnish pasture for our hog* throughout the entire season. It Is better to arrange for a succession of pastures from tbe beginning of tbe season until the hogs are ready for market, making the feed richer and more concentrated toward the clone of the season, and aa we approach the finishing of fattening period. For this purpose the following crops are recommended: Red clover or alfalfa, rape. cwwpMs. soy beans. On lands adptad to alfalfa it win i be better ter 1 aa U will produce a largo.quantity of toad at a eomawhat higher value, inasmuch as we have not yet learned to grow aki ■iccisasfully on the majority of tm aoUs, we shall be forced to rely ■ ■ i ■■ in 11 ■torts ear her ie spring than any bog pasture we ting alftfto, and would • Mad Mb and should be toug as u is succulent and Usually not later than ths to of Juno tha crop will have ba- ’ g will fai-

th* surplus clover should be out and removed, so as to allow the second or tall crop to start promptly. Profit In Vetch fieed. Winter vetch Is one of the best crops for late sowing. It liras through tbe winter, stores up the nitrogen of tbe air Ilk* clover, and Is especially useful aa a paofurc for farm stock, a cover crop In orchards, or a green manure for plowing under to enrich the land. The fodder Is relished by aH claasei of animals, and It Is an extra good feed for hogs. The great drawback U the high cost of the seed, which Is Imported from Germany and sella for per bushel. There appears no reason why all the seed should not be raised in America, the price could be reduced and still leave a good profit for the grower. For three years In succession at the Ontario experiment farm vetch has been sown In tbe autumn and ripened the following season, giving an average yield of 10.8 bushels of seed per acre. Its cultivation is as simple as that of rye or wheat. It la Ukely to become quite popular, and with a good demand for the seed, especially from orchard 1st*. A home grown supply would quickly be bought up by seedsmen, or could bt sold direct to consumers by advertising In farm papers. Here Is a chance for a few enterprising farmers to work Into a crop much more profitable than grwic. and one which will tend to Improve tbe fertility of tbe farm. Food for Cows. * In a paper on "Breeding and Feeding for Milk." contributed to an English dairy and farm Journal by Jonn Evans of Lincoln, the following feeding methods are given for a breeding herd: Summer—In May and June. If erase Is plentiful, about two pounds cotton cake, and later. If grass Is scarce or dried up. three pound* or four pounds of mixed meal or bran with It sad either cabbage or lucerne thrown in the fields: toward* autumn change of pasture If possible, usually grass eddish. Winter Rations—Four pounds cotton cake, two pounds malt culms, two pounds dried grains, two pounds bran, three pound* mixed meal (generally oats and wheat). Very heavy milkers or fatting cow* 2 pounds linseed case extra. In Autumn—Forty pounds to SO pound* cabbage. Later 40 to 50 pounds pwedes. After Christmas. 40 pounds mangles, when ripe, cut oat straw. Idbg bay once a day. silt water always before them, a trough between two cows. Method of Feeding—Dried grains and malt culms steeped 24 hours. Then these wet grains and culms, the bran and mixed meal, with a very few pulped roots are mixed with the rut oat straw 24 hours before using, a few handfuls of salt thrown In.* Tbe mixture of the steeped grains and ctllms and the pulped roots soften the whole lot. bat this* held of food must not be allowed to ferment, or it will make toe milk taste. Cows recelvt two feeds of this a day. This la necessary to enable them a raise t-e cud. The cake to given dry. roots or cabbage are given twice, morning and evening. How to Improve the Farm Flock. There are a number of ways In which' to Improve the farm Cock. Tbe cheapest and suresl a methods. where one does not wish to Invest largely In strictly pure breeds. Is to secure from some reputable breeder early It autumn a fe'w pure bred cockerels that score up well in the 90a By buying early you can get birds that would perhaps sell in the spring for three' time* the price asked for them now. As no breeder, no matter bow much experience he has had In the fancy poultry business, can foretell the qualities of a fowl, the chances are nine out of ten that a bird will develop nearer standard requirements than to develop disqualified. When pure bred males ffre used on mongrel hens from one year to another for a few years, they show quite, a decided effect upon tbe flock. In securing males it would be well to look well to the utility qualities of tha bird*. You can build up a heavy laying strain In a very abort Ume If a little precaution sod good Judgment are used In buying males. Tbe most common practice among farmers in buying males to to accept the cheapest price quoted, regardless of quality. This Is a wrong Idea. Our experience Is that the cheapest true dearest In the end. and the man that buys good quality and pays for it will realise more in tbe end than the man that loses $6 to spec $4. A flock of choice fowls cannot be maintained with a mongrel ben not be maintained with a mongrel male at the bead for a breeder. Remember, strictly choice thoroughbred males cannot be had at market prices, they cost more and are worth more, as tbeir breeding qualities will prove, more profitable to you at the does of the season. Insist upon the best yon possibly can afford and buy no other, and you will be amply repaid for your extra cost and trouble.— J. C. C- In the Indiana
