Mr. Huntington's conclusions bear the weight of a number of years actual experience as one of southern Oregon's largest turkey growers. Mr. Huntington is a firm believer In the natural rather than artificial methods of incubation and brooding, although he states that artificial methods would probably prove suc cessful in the hands of the special ist who Is able to give all his time to this type of turkey production. The methods outlined of incubation and brooding as well as feeding were the onees which he had applied on his own farm in Douglas county and found to be conducive to the raising of a high percentage of No. 1 birds, free from crooked breasts and other undesirable features. For incubation, turkey and chicken hens both are used, while for brood ing turkey hens only are used. The coops and ens, built according to specifications named by the specialist are set In pairs with the coops fac ing each other and with the water containers placed under the parti tion between the two pens thereby saving labor through the use of a smaller number of pieces of equip ment. As the eggs are hatched the poultB should be taken away from the nest and given protection a id proper temperature In the housM or other convenient place until all hatchable eggs have produced poults. Large permanently fenced fields are divided Into smaller portable pens for hand ling the growing birds. At first these temporary pens should be fairly small and the number of birds in HESSER FUNERAL WILL BE FRIDAY STUDENTS BRING BACK TO MOVE TO NEW LOCATION Will Occupy Remodeled Building on Main Steet Alter First of May.

From the time the poults are first fed they should receive a balanced ration If the losses from all causes are to be kept at teh minimum. Proper feeding while young has a tremend ous effect upon the type of bird which is marketed. Mr. Huntington has perfected a system of feeding that brings excellent results when adher ed to from the time of hatching to the time of marketing. He also states that It Is desirable to have as large numbers of birds as possible of the same age as the man agement problems throughout are tremendously simplified and the qual ity of bird generally improved at mar keting time. Mr. Huntington is em phatic in stating that chickens and turkeys should never be allowed to run together.
