The largest and perhaps *' best ?known of the domesticated arkey is the Bronze, sometimes called the Mam moth Bronze. The male bird of this breed reaches an enormous size some times. The standard weight for the tom is 36 pounds and for the hen 20 pounds. Generally the heavier weights are ?found among the breeding birds, and iare not for sale. As a matter of ex 'perience breeders find that the great test demand for the holiday trade Is for ;the smaller birds suitable for a din ner for an ordinary family. ; The plumage of the Bronze is very ; attractive. The feathers are bronze or dull black with bands of white across. (The bronze tint gives pleasing color ?effects. One common objection has been that *the Bronze hen is not a very good .layer. But it is generally found that Flock of Prize Bronze Turkeys. laying Is largely an individual char acteristic. Many prefer the Bronze and generally this breed by far out numbers the others on the holiday market. The Bronze turkeys are close de scendants of the American wild tur key, which ls still found in some parts of our country. The young of the domesticated birds soon show a ten dency to wander in search of food. They can fly to an astonishing height when it becomes necessary. The young turkeys do not bear con finement well. For anything like sat isfactory results they should range in the fields and pastures. They are very useful in keeping down insects that destroy crops, and many farmers' wives have sold enough turkeys dur ing the season preceding the holidays to provide comforts and conveniences for the home. HATCHING IS "GREAT STRAIN" Lice Work; 3 Unmolested While Hen ls Sitting ls Most Responsible for Poor Condition. The average poultry man will say that hatching is a "great strain" on a hen. and the condition of some of the birds on finishing their hatches seems to bear out this statement. But the harm done by the lice working unmolested while her motherly instinct keeps the hen busy is more responsible for her run down condition than the energy re quired in the actual work of Incubating the eggs. The dusting with lice powder should be done not only nt the beginning of the hatch, but about once a week throughout the sitting period. TO ERADICATE CHICKEN LICE Sodium Fluorid Found to Be Efficient by Entomologists of Agricultural \ Department Entomologists of the United States department of agriculture have dem onstrated that all species of lice which infest poultry may be quickly de stroyed by the application of a very small quuntity of sodium fluorid, ac cording to the anual report of the chief of the bureau of entomology just is sued.
