MOST CONSTANT
RAISING TURKEYS
Gross cash Income to farmers from
the sule of dairy products has been
more stable during the past eight
yeurs than the gross cnsli Income
from any other department of agri­
culture, according to tlgures which
have been analyzed by V. R. Wertz
of the Ohio agricultural experiment
station, working with the rural eco­
nomics department of the Ohio State
university.
Wertz has studied the gross cash
Income of agriculture as an Index of
farm prosperity which Is more reli­
able th'an unit price Indicates, be
cause It shows the volume of busi­
ness done. Ills statistics are based
upon an Index of UK», which Is the
average gross cash Income from the
principal sources, In 1024, 1025 and
1926.
tin this bnsls the dairying Income
started In 1020 ut 147 and dropped
with all other sources of Income, In
1021 to 07, which was a shorter drop
than was shown by nny other group
of commodities, and was seven points
above the total gross cash Income.
In 1922 there was a further drop
to 01, which was three points above
the figure for the total. It was above
the Index for every other department
except the sale of meat animals
Dairying Income soared In 1023 to
116, the highest figure reached by any
Important department of farm Indus­
try since 1020, and 21 points above
the total Income Index. It dropped
In 1924 to 103, hut w»s still above all
other figures. In 1025 t|ie Index was
07, three points below the figure for
the total, and In 1026 dairying Income
belled its past performance by regls
tering 00, the lowest of all the In­
dices.
In 1026 nil Important departments
of farming other thnn dairying showed
peaks ns compared with 1925. Rut In
1027, according to preliminary esti­
mates, there was a sharp drop which
was not shared h.v the dairying
branch. While the Index for the total
Income In 1027 was down to 01 points,
dairying remained at 99. the point
reached In 1926.
The average Index for the eight-
year period for dairying Income was
108 points, while the total gross In
come average has been 102 points.
Income from the sale of dairy prod
nets makes up approximately 23 per
cent of the total cash Income of Ohio
agriculture.
Bad Flavors and Odors
in Milk Due to Weeds
Bad flavors and odor In milk and
cream are common In spring due io
wild onions and other weeds In pas­
tures. Taking the cows off pasture
at least three hours before milking Is
advised ns a preventive measure.
Even If the pasture contains no wild
onions, sudden change to grass In the
spring Is npt to develop hud odors
In milk. Some additional feed should
be given when the pasture season
opens. The grass Is short anJ It does
not at first provide sufficient nourish­
ment to maintain the milk How. A
small amount of grain and hay will
pay well until grass has made n good
growth.—John Toliver, Deputy State
Dairy Commissioner, Colorado Agri­
cultural College.
Keep Calves in Dry Lot
Until They Are Marketed
Most people consider that It Is prnc-
tlcully Impossible to raise turkeys.
However, the results of some breeders
ns well as those of the experiment sta­
tions show that it Is not only possible
to raise turkeys, but it Is also possible
to make u profit ut the work.
When turkeys ure being raised a
producer has only one thing In mind,
namely, keeping them alive and
healthy so that they will grow Into
marketable poultry. With chickens
there ure two propositions to watch,
eggs and market poultry.
Turkeys ure subject to many of the
ailments that bother chickens, but the
chief trouble has been u disease
known ns blackhead. This disease
affects turkeys of all ages, but Is par­
ticularly disastrous when poults are
Just nicely feathered.
There has been u reason for these
losses in many cases. Chickens are
affected with blackhead, but It does
not usually kill them. In many cases
chickens have acted ns carriers of
the disease to the turkeys. In view
of this many people have found It
advantageous to raise the poults away-
from chickens and on fresh ground.
This has encouraged the use of Incu­
bators and brooders for turkeys and,
where properiy mannged, they have
proved very satisfactory.
When, young poults are reared with
chickens they usually get worms.
Worms seem to help the parasites Hint
cause blackhead, ns It makes an open­
ing for the parasite to enter the sys­
tem. People who raise their young
turkeys on fresh ground, away from
other poultry, are not npt to be
troubled with blackhead.
Turkeys
will even stand confinement. If plenty
of green stuff, good sanitation and
adequate protection Is provided. The
Minnesota experiment station raised
turkeys In confinement for the Inst
three years. It Is not necessary for
the young poults to catch grasshop­
pers, ns animal protein needed In
their ration can be supplied with meat
scraps.
First Feed of Poults
of Much Importance
The first feed of the poults Is very
Important.
The second day they
should be given a little clean drinking
water and have access to some fine
sand.
The third dny they will show signs
of hunger. Feed them about five
times each day for several days.
Hard-boiled eggs, clubber cheese, corn
bread and pinhead oats are all good
foods for the baby turk.
Give only what they will clean up
quickly. Keep them hungry and look­
ing for more. As they develop they
may be given cracked wheat, corn
meal and hulled oats. Good results
will be obtained h.v keeping bran be­
fore them nt all times. Sweet skim
milk and btutermllk mny be given In
the early' morning. Green feed and
grit should he given, If It must he pur­
chased from the poultry supply
deniers.
When the hen Is allowed to range,
the turks will get plenty of exercise
nnd pick up lots of bugs and worms
ns well ns weed seed and green ma­
terial. One must he careful to drive
the mother In before a rainstorm
nnd put her nnd her brood In a house
that does not leak.
The hen should not be allowed to
roost away from her coop a single
night while poults are small. Rats
nnd skunks may steal her young nnd
a storm mny come up during the
night nnd destroy the young. Keep
a watchful eye on the flock and suc­
cess will be assured.
Calves which have been full fed on
grain during the winter, with the In
tentlon of marketing them, ought not
to be turned on pasture before they
are shipped. These calves should be
fat enough so that they can be fin
Isbed in the feedlot and marketed by

The Cream of

The accepted Idea of the heart as
au automatic putup sending blood to
all parts of the body may have to be
revised.
A famous German heart specialist.
Doctor Mendelsohn, says the heart Is
simply a governor to control the or­
derly flow of the blood, this current
Itself being due to the constant Intake
und outgo of liquid caused by chem­
ical action In the body cells.
Doctor Mendelsohn says the heart,
a small muscle the size of a man's fist,
could not possibly be capable of driv­
ing the tenacious mass of the blood
through the entire body. He cites In­
valids with hearts so Hubby ns to re­
lease scarcely any energy, yet they
lived for years with sufficient blood
circulation.—Popular Science Monthly.

told by tils employer that the farm
was not paying and that Ills services
would huve to be dispensed with. The
farmer told him that there was no
hurry, thut he could leave any time,
to which the hired man answered that
he was ready to leave ut once. He
took a pickax, went to an obscure cor­
ner, dug up a large milk cun, brought
It In und dumped the contents on the
kitchen floor. It was money and
amounted to more than $1,700, money
that he had saved while In the em­
