RAISING POULTS
DIFFICULT JOB
Sanitation Essential to Pre
vent Dread Blackhead.
That the new methods of raising
turkeys are about to revolutionise the
Industry Is Indicated by the success
adventurous turkey enthusiasts hat*
?experienced In many parts of the coun
try during the last season.
Word has gradually spread around
taring the last two or three years that
the dreaded disease of blackhead could
Best be controlled by raising the poult's
under conditions where the sanitation
?an be carefully controlled. This has
given rise to experiments with Incu
Mtor hatching and artificial brooding
and to keeping the growing poults on
restricted rang**, says a writer In tbfc
Oklahoma farmer-Stockman.
As the result of considerable experi
menting, the new method has gradual
ly taken the form of a rather definite
prorata. Hatch the eggs in Incuoa
tins; biood under artificial hovers;
r;" -.'e on fresh, clean groond, and feed
sit all-mash stinting and growing feed.
Tl.'s is a summary of the modern
mrihod now being tried with consld
*mi)le success In many dlfTerent
glares.
The writer has had the pleasure
?f being enabled to visit three turkey
rai*ei-x in three different states who
have web remarkably successful in
raising turkeys by the method out
lined above. These places were lo
*atfd in rhree different states? Mlch
lgap, Kentucky and Kansas, yet the
methoos followed were surprisingly
similar and ihe results were uniform
>r satisfactory. The Michigan man
'fta* been usluc the same methods for
two or three years and is specializing
in turkey farming. He has a fine
flotk of more than 1,000 birds, and
claims Hint his losses have been very
low.
The Kentucky grower lives in the
famous blue grass reglwi not far from
I.exlngton, and Is a general farmer,
lie raises tobacco and other field
^rops, and in addition to the turkeys
has a flock of more than 500 White
leghorn liens. It Is worthy of note,
however, that the turkeys and chick
ens are kept entirely separate. ?
There was nothing at all elaborate
about his equipment as he used chear
portable brooder houses with smal
coal-burning brooder?, and had home
made- troughs for feed. He has aboui
2W turkeys left out of about 341
hatched. He claims that the losse<
were heavier than normal because the
poults were chilled when he had soim
trouble with his brooder stoves.
The Kansas flock was found at the
Kansas experiment stntion at Manhat
tan. This was an experimental flock
?ud Hie birds bad been kept in close
confinement without outdoor range
until tiie.v were sixteen weeks old. Ai
tlmt age they were transferred to a
two or three-acre alfalfa field, and a!
ihe time of my visit, after four week?
an range, they were as line and sturdy
OiriN as could be wished for.
During their period of confinement
these poults were fed plenty of lawn
clippings for green feed, but otherwise
they had the same rations as growlns
i-hicks. This lloek contained approxi
uiatelv TOO birds out of 135 that were
started.
Sufficient Range "or
Success Wu!i Turkeys
A range of oue acre sod is con
sldered sufficient for ]*>'? irkeys fron
?lie age of eight weeks . ? marketabb
ige. This area should a' ?> be dividei
into four sections and ttea each sec
tkin used for ?nly one month. Th<
s&ret of successful t;ivt:ey raisin;
rests larirely in, providing fresh grounc
and the hopper feeding of (ill feed. Tr
the selection of ranee it should be om
which lias not been frequented bj
/hlckeirs and should not be situate,
where drainage from the poultry yard;
may result i.> Infestation. It is. ol
course, desirable to have all the tur
teys of the same age. There is tic
question hut that turkeys can be sue
cessfuljy raised In confinement and
that it does not pay to allow turkeys
5o range f'?r tbeir feed.
? ?
Separate Turkeys
Keep turkeys entirely away from
chickens because the excrement from
thickens may contain the worms
wbli.h are believed to harbor the germ
Ihut cavnes blackhead, the most dead
ly enemy of the turkey family. There
is always more or less trouble from
flee and miles with hen-breoded poults.
The best stock yon can buy will pay
Ae largest profit?. Experiments over
s lon>: range have shown there Is no
money in- scrub turkeys.
Material for Eggs
Feet^n. affects the texture of the
shelly. It usually is necessary
no supply layers with materials from
which tht;. may nr. ike the shell for
the eggs. Cruslitd oyster shell Is
kepi fr> hoppers so the birds may eat
it at will, as it contains a large per
centage of lime. Grit also is kept in
hoppers, as it helps in grinding up
t.i-.e feed In the gizzard. Some kinds
h f grit also contain a certain ssnount
of lime that helps the birds In the
vanufacture of egg shells.

Thirty Thousand W. O. W.
Veterans Honored
. I
Celebrating 40 Years of Service
[ !
Thirty thousand members of
the Woodmen of the World have
received service medals signifying
that they have been members of
the Woodmen of the World for
twenty-five years pr more. W. A.
Fraser, president of the Woodmen
of the World, announced today.
The thirty thousandth medal
was recently presented at a meet
ing of the Fort King Camp, No
14. at Osca'.a, Florida.
The Woodmen of the World will
be forty years old on June 6 of
this year.
The twenty-five year medals
have been givt;i out to veterans
of the Woodmen cf the World for
the past fourteen .wars, the first
medal being given in 1916.
<?' ^t-rvVc >Vii ii \v. a. Fraser.
"Our asscciat.cn has had a great
growth since it was first organized
with 135 members forty years a?o." 1
"The pioneers of the Woodmen
of the World had an inspiring
vision of the future of their or
ganization but never dreamt of
the ticmendous size and wealth
;hat the society" "nov. has." said
VIr F: aser "Today the Wood
men of the World is the strongest
"raternal organization in exist
ence. It was recently declared
"When we
first started
giving med
als out to
veterans of
our associa
t i o n , we
never dreamt
that we
would be us
ing thirty
thousand of
the service
pins, said
104.6% solvent. It holds Invest
ments and securities of more
than $100,000,000 with gross assets
totaling approximately $128,000,
000."
Membership Half Million
The membership of the Wool
men of the World is now estimat
ed at approximately one-halt
million and the organization has
paid In death losses and disabil
ity benefits during Its forty years
of existence approximately $175.
000,000. Two of the largest enter
prises that have placed the Wood
men of the World in the fore
most ranks of progressive frater
nal insurance societies are the
War Memorial Hospital at San
Antonio. Tex., and the radio
station WOW in the headquarters
building at Omaha, Neb.
The War Memorial Hospital is
a million dollar structure and has
taken in thousands of sick mem
bers and turned them out healthy
and able to go back to their
families to enjoy life.
The Woodmen of the World
Radio Station was built in 1923.
It has become one of the most
popular radio stations in the
United States. President Fraser
developed the idea of the Wood
men of the World Radio Congrega
tion, a religious congregation of
radio listeners, which is the larg
est in the world, estimated at
one-half miliion.
Hopes to Issue 100,000 Pins
"I hope that the Woodmen of
the World will scn:e dav issue
100.000 twenty-five year service
pins to its members." said Presi
dent Frascr. "Our association is
growing rapidly. It is beconunr
larger and of greater service to
its members."
When Men are Free
QA>y <^.J^awrenceGhawthorne
True liberty must come through education?
The freedom of an independent mir.d.
To legislate a democratic nation
Will never loose the chains from humankind.
The laws of men can only grant permission
That a!! may tread the path of life secure
l;roin scourge, but eacfc must better his condition
Through knowledge, whose release alone is surf
To be set free from physkal oppression
Gives meager promise o S those better things
Which constitute life's only great possession:
"Hie liberty that education Strings.
Until men learn to heed' the laws of nature,
Aixl school themselves to act in close accord
With God's design, no state or legislature
Can guarantee then freedom's rich reward.
True freedom comes alone through education!
When men begin to realize this truth
Then will they give profound consideration
To how they best may spend the years of youth.
That day will see a renaissance of beauty,
And culture will again bring glad release
From strife; refinement then will be a duty;
And men will dwell in brotherhood and peace!
ROTES AND LICE j
MEAN FEWER EGGS
Warm weather parasites, such as
mites and lice, cause the poultry- ,
man untold losses in North Carolina
each year through a decrease in egg
production and curtailment of i
growth in young birds.
"Mites are found on the perch ?
poles and in crevices about the poul- :
try house during the day and migrate j
to the bodies of the birds after ,
nightfall," says C. F. Parrish, exten- ?
sion poultryman at State College. :
"These insects are blood-sucking par- j
asiites which feed on the body of
chickens and when present in large
numbers cause serious trouble. They
may be controlled, however, by
spraying the perch poles and houses
and painting the perch poles."
For a spray, Mr. Parrish recom
mends old cylinder oil and kerosene
mixed in equal parts. This material
should be used to paint the perch
poles and as a spray all over the in- I
side of the house. Carbolineum is .
also recommended by some poultry- '
men for this purpose. To facalitat* ;
covering all crevices in mite control, l
it is best not to nail down the poles. |
Lice, says Mr. Parrish, differ from ?
mites in that they stay on the birds I
all the time. Any method of con-j
trol adopted will naturally involve ,
the bird. Sodium fluoride used as a
dip or dust is recommended for con
trol. When used as a dip, one ounce
of the sodium fluoride to one gallon
of water makes the best solution. |
Heat the water to about 90 degrees
and submerge the bird completely
in this solution. Place the index j
finger over one eye and the thumb
over the other so as to give the head
and neck a thorough dipping. In the
dust method, a pinch of sodium
fluoride is enough for the vent re
gion and under both wings. The
same amount may be worked into the
feathers of the back and neck.
Either treatment must be repeated
in ten days or two weeks.
