POUITRY NOTES

Turkeys are ler” expensive to raise than any other fowls on the farm, as they roam the pastures and fields and eat so many weed and grass seeds, acorns and the like. A turkey hen never goes far from her nest till the litpe ones are a week or so old. Poults, as little turkeys are called, have been successfully hatched in incubators and reared in brooders. •♦• # - Brood coops for turkey hens with broods should be larger than’ those used for ordinary poultry. • » • Feeds that »re suitable for little chicks are suitable for little turkeys.
