Checken hens an(] incubators can be and often are used successfully for hatching turkey eggs, but the surest means, United 6tatevs Department of Agriculture poultry slecialists say, is to use the turkey hen and give her proper management. Turkey -hens are close sitters aini will cov so there will be no danger of ch ling, from 15 to 18 eggs, depending ol the size of the hen. Nests for setting turkey and chick en hens are best made on the ground by hollowing out a little earth, so that the center is deep enough to keep the eggs from rolling out of the nest. A thin covering of clean straw or hay can then be used to prevent the eggs from being directly on the ground, and a large, roony coop should be placed over the nest to kee) the hen from be ing disturbed. When a number of hens are to be set, a long row of nests can easily be made on the ground, separating them with board partitions. If this is done care must be taken to see that when the henls come off the nests each returns to 'the right one instead of crowding into a nest with another (-hit and leaving some of the eggs to become chilled. With only a few hens it is better to set them some (istance apart, as they will then re quire less attention. When a ilen'r in Earnest. When a hen becomes broody and shows that she is earnest by remain ig on her nest for . two or three iights, site may safely be trusted with the eggs, provided she is allow ed to sit in that nest.. If she is to be set im another nest, as is usually the cast, then she should be removed to the new nest, prelerably after dark, given a few nest eggs ,and shut in to prevent her from returning to the old 01ne. If she sit', quietly Onl thle nest eggs she should be taken off on the evening of the following (i' , and the eggs to be incubated placed in the nest. On being freed, she probably will return to her old nest; if so, she should be carried back and set quiet ly on the eggs. She should be hand led in this maonner until on being let off she ire turns to the new ntest rather than to the old one. It sometimes takes only two or- three days, and sel (iom more than a week. to break a hen from returning to her old nest. Tur key hens dt not ordinaril y come off for feed and water more than once every 2 or (Iays, but when confinted thev should have a chance to ( come oil, every day. Occasionany a turkey hen does not come off at all, and in such case she should be taken off once a day, as otlierwise she will dic on the nest. Ont coming offi her nest the first thing a turkey hen does is to stretch her wings, step ginigerly for a few steps, andl then she often takes a rt fing start and flies for a short dis tance. l e -- -2 N s ep greatly t p i . , ; n. condit~io, and for this reason it is not well t; confine her to a small space.
