BRONZE TURKEY BEST KNOWN
Male Bird of Breed Sometimes
Reaches Enormous Size-Do Not
Bear Confinement Well.
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

SUFERIOR FEED FOR CHICKS
Corn Bread With Egg In lt ls Recom
mended-Pasteurize Everything
for First Month.
A good ieed for newly hatched
chickens is corn bread with egg in it.
Until they are a month old, everything
fed to them should be cooked or pas
teurized (baked a little in the oven)
to kill o.Vi germs of disease, and if milk
is used for moistening bread crumbs,
it is best to boU it

Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs. Dallas Prine,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child... I got very much
run-down and weakened, BO much
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
-about my taking CarduL He
said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble', so he got me 5 bot
tles...After about the second bottle I
felt greatly Improved.. .before taking
it my limbs and bands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disap
peared. My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to

tles, I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children be
