Once upon n time every farm fan ily had its flock of turkeys, which sui plied plenty of birds for the hoin table and some for the tables of tlios who lived In the towns. Turkey rait ing in recent years, however, has d? creased, one of the main reasons fo this decline being that as the populf tion of the country increased farmin became more intensive and the are suitable for turkey raising was r< duced. Turkeys require plenty c range in order to thrive. Many farmers, however, still cor sider turkeys a profitable side line o the farm, and about the first of 0< tober begin to consider how to pi more flesh on their turkey flock. Feeding Turkey Flock. During the summer and early fa turkeys can find an abundance c feed on the average farm. Grasshoi pers and other insects, weeds an grass seeds, green vegetation, berrle and grain picked up in the fields a go to make up the turkey's daily n tion. When this natural feed is pier tiful, very little need be added unt fattening time except for the purpos of bringing the turaeys every mgi to roost and to keep them from strai ing from home. For . this purpose on feed of grain every night just befor roosting time Is sufficient. Fattening for Market. In fattening turkeys for the mnrkt an excellent plun is to hegln about 0< fober 1 to feed night and mornln/ feeding only so much at a time the the birds go away a little hungry, an gradually increasing the quantity ui til they nre given all they will clea TERM INSECTS MOST FORMIDABLE RIVAL! One of Most Injurious Pests I the Fly Weevil. . ft Is Primarily Plague of Wheat an Corn and Is Particularly Harmful in Southern States?Ruin6 Entire Crops. (Prepared by the United States Departmer I of Agriculture.) ' The Insects are our most formU ahle rivuls iu the struggle for exis' one A Economic entomology does not det alone with insects which attack fruit and growing crops. It must deal wit insects that affect grains and foods I storage, that damage our clothing, the kill our domestic animals and, to< that carry disease to man himself, thf eat up our wooden buildings, and the honeycomb our books and implement: We must flght them all along th line. One of these insect enemies again* which the bureau of entomology hu been directing a flght, is the ai goumois grain moth, popularly know in this country rts the fly weevil. ] I is primarily a pest of wheat and cor | in this country, but affects all ceret grains. It is particularly injurious i the Southern states, and does littl harm north of central New Jersey, ej cept to cereals In storage. It is second to the rice, or hlacl weevil in its capacity to damag grain. Often entire crops of corn an wheat are ruined. Wheat lose through moth nttack about 02 per cec of weight. Corn loses from 12 to 2 ' per cent. Bread mnde from affecte ; grain is worthless. The moth also eat | barley, oats, buckwheat, sorghun i milo, rice, beans, chickpeas and cov i peas. i This is mentioned as an example c avoidable insect pests which th United States I>epnrtment of Agrlcu tare not only teaches bat assists farn ers to avoid. In the case of the nngumofs mot! which works damage to stored grni in regions where its propagntio among growing crops is prevented h the short seasons, the department i urging farmers to fight the pest sys temntieally by such measures as earl threshing, proper storage, and film gallon. It teaches them to take at vantage of the weakness of the inset by fighting its further spread. It is only by constant and intell gent effort flint mankind can ovei come tlie ravages of insects of ever | kind which attack almost every silt 1 Ktonee on wbieh he depends for hi J livelihood mikI eomfort.

DEEP PLOWING IS BIG NEEI i Soils Are Getting Poorer, Producin Less Per Acre, Thereby Cutting Farmer's Income. Peep plowing Is the greatest nee en many farms. It Is a fact that soil nre getting poorer, producing less pr acre and less in the aggregate yen after year and less profit per year o many farms. Many of our soils ar i tired and slek; like their owners the j are overworked, underfed, ui'.d undei J KEV increase ka amount of feed T/^J ]'"?$ff4 ^jlys Command the Highest Prices. lt up three times a day (luring the week before marketing. By the latter feedh ing is meant that they are fed until p they leave the food and walk away. e Some turkey raisers feed wheat and oats during the first of the fattening season, gradunlly changing to corn as " the weather becomes cooler. The ma( Jority, however, begin feeding heavily on corn about November 1; and, since ft turkeys, are not accustomed to such ^ heavy feeding, scours often result, es^ pecially if new corn is used. New corn can be fed safely If the turkeys are gradually accustomed to it by n feeding lightly at first and more heavily afterward. Lose Flesh When Penned. Confining turkeys during the fattening season to prevent their using so much energy In ranging has been tried I1 to some extent, huf with very little lf success, say poultry specialists of the >- United States Department of Agriculd ture. Those confined to a pen eat s heartily for two or three days, but 11 after this they lose their appetite l* and begin to lose flesh rapidly. On >* allowing them free range again, they '1 pick up rapidly and are soon eating e as heartily as ever. The better metli't od is to allow them free range, as It 7' keeps them In good, healthy condition, e and they are always eager to be fed. ? Nuts of various kinds are a natural fattening feed picked up by the turkeys on the range. Of these beeeh t nuts, chestnuts, pecans, and ecorns are i- those most commonly found by them. ? t r. o ^ nrvnn/1 many turnt) gruwrie m ucpcuu it solely upon acorns for fattening their (1 turkeys, and when the mast is plentil ful the birds are marketed in fairly n good condition. paid. The problem is to get more from the soil without greater expense. 5 One way is to deepen the soil, letting iu air and moisture nnd permit nature to make this sub-soil or undersoil fertile. The roots of plants canS not penetrate deep enough under the present conditions on many farms to get enough plant food nnd sufficient moisture to yield a normal crop. What is the remedy? Plow deeper. ^ Deeper plowing should be done in the fall. Mnny soils should lie subsoiled, others should be plowed deeper with, ordinary breaking plows. Whatever the method, the soil must be ?t made deeper. Plow deeper. > t- ERADICATION OF CORN SMUT I Fresh Manure Should Not Be Applied .and Rotation of Crops Should II Be Practiced. h lt There are things to be (lone and things not to be done to combat suclt cessfully the smut of corn which has damaged the big crop of this year In various parts of the Northwest. e Fresh mannre should not be put on corn ground; a rotation of crops should be practiced. Spores germinate 8 best and multiply In fresh manure, says E. C. Stakman, plant disease spen clallst of the University farm, St. Paul. Some other crop than corn n should be planted on land growing ll smutted corn this year. n Com smut Is not poisonous, says e Doctor Stakman; on the contrary, In c" Its early stapes it Is edible for human beings. It may occur on any part c? of the corn plant above ground. It e hns been found that corn smut spores d are killed in the silo. * S 4 SILOS NEED GOOD ATTENTION d 5 Hoops Should Be Tightened Occasion' i, ally, Guy Wires Made Taut r- and Roof Repaired. if Silos, to pive the best service, need e attention every year, says the United 1- States Department of Apriculture. l- Stave silos need the hoops tiphtened occasionally, and the guy wires should l, J be looked over and made taut.
