Finish Turkeys For Soldier Holidays Turkey grower* are advised to put their early hatched bud* on a good quality laying mash ocmtakving about 19 percent protein, fn addition to the usual grain so that the birds may be finished off for the early market. Poultry specialists at State College say that this should be dene at once if the birds are to be ready for market in September. Uncle Sam recently sent out a call for the early marketing of a good portion of the turkey crop so that the boys on the fighting fronts could have their turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It will take quite some time to handle the turkeys and then get them to all of the armed forces. The State College specialists point out that the pens should not be too small, when the birds are first taken off the range, because the birds may worry because of the confinement and actuUly loss weight. Restricted range should be given gradually so that the birds will have time to ad*just themselves. ' V*£ The fattening period may la& for six or eight weeks but a more limited period is better than none at all. They recommend that aU mash be fed in hoppers and all grain hi hoppers or troughs beaaufle it is very important that quarters for turkeys be kept clean at all times. If there is plenty of skimmilk or buttermilk on the farm, it should be kept before the birds at all times. The ww of milk or maah helps increase the efficiency of the ration and will give better finished birds. A broad mind is sometimes a shallow one, Grow Turnips For Z Good Dairy Peed Dairymen who have no silos can produce from six to eight tons of turnips per acre to take the place tf silage in the whiter feeding of their cows, says John A- Arey, Extension Dairyman at State College. According to Arey, the feeding of 20 to 30 pounds of turnips per head daily with materially increase 'the milk production of dairy animals. ;;r He reoommeda that the turnips be seeded early in August on low, fartile land which has received a good coating of manure and 600 to 800 pounds of a complete, high grade fertilizer. The purple top or Pommsranian white globe are two good varieties to plant. Turnips and other root crops axil slightly laxative and tend to keep the1 cow's digestive tract in good condition, thereby enabling her Nto get more out of the other feeds which she consumes. The tops of the turnip* should be removed m harvesting and the crop stored in a cellar or hilled aa with swee potatoes Before feeding them, the turnips should be cut Into small pieces with a spade to prevent the cows from choking on the whole root. The turnips should be fed after milking and not before. If they are fed before milking, a" flavor of the turnips will bf found in the milk. Protect Grain With Carbon Bisulphide Stored grain may be treated with bisulphide, to prevent damage from weevils and bran bugs, says J. Myron Maxwell, in charge of Extension Entomology at N.»C. State College^ Bran bugs can cause the grain to I heat and they feed on the cracked! grains. || Maxwell reommended that a . fairly! air tight bin or room be used for I fumigation. During the fumigation' process, the grain should be confined to a small space and piled from four to six feet deep. The carbon bisulphide should be applied directly to the top surface of the grain and about three gallons par 1,000 bushels Of grain is sufficient, according to; the aatimoiogist ed immediately after applying the fumigqpt so that the stored grain can be left under treatment for 24 to 48 hours before it la necessary to air out the storage space. I It should be remembered that thei carbon bisulphide is highly inffaunnMe. No : be brought near it. % .-The grain should be examined at monthly intervale and if|f fumigation process be repeated at the first in store,! grains, in — Entomologist at SUSS MBS FOR VICTORY CANNING 33 h:yE " Plan to can every extra vegetable ttom it your dealer hasn't T us that very few of the all-time favorite zinc caps , front because zinc is needed on the battle front, hut tened with rious rustin troubl^Soo, Iwr '-j' a:.
