wholesome bread no matter how good the bread from your own oven may be is there enough difference in pure wholesomenoss to war rant heating up the home our bread is good bread it is freshly baked ovory day large loaf lcc small loaf sc a stover when i won the first three turkeys i did not wish to kill them all at the same time so it was necessary to learn what to feed them i enquired of the neighbors and mixed up feed according to their directions the turkeys seemed to thrive upou it i liked working with them so i got the idea i might make a little extra money by going in for turkeys and hslp pull up the ranch i wrote to the department of agriculture for information regarding their care when the replies and pamphlets came i grew more enthusiastic for i realized that our ranch was par ticularly favored for this phase of agriculture our buildings were in a valley with protecting banks we had a constant supply of fresh waterthe land was well drained and conse quently dry and we were in the irrigation belt which assured the growing of a grain crop that was necssary for their feed in the spring the turkeys began to lay and i started that first year with twentyfive turks many times i am asked for my methods which are very simple in i the beginning i cannot overestimate the necessity of cleanliness clean nests clean coops clean dry shelters and food served in clean troughs all this eliminates lice and mites which are the greatest enemies turkeys have speaking of vermin never put strong insect powder on setting hens or poults it is apt to get into their eyes and result in blindness my equipment has never been elaborate as you see even when the flock is as large as it is today from the beginning i provided big roomy nests built in such a way that the turkey hen at setting is closed and let off every second day for feed and water then carefully closed again the turks are allowed to become strong and wellhatched before they are removed from the nest they are then moved to a large clean coop when fortyeight hours old they are given their small feed of thick sour milk a saucerful to twenty with the addition of a thimbleftfl each of rolled oats aitghtly dampen ed with raw eggs in the course of a few days if the weather is fine they are allowed their freedom in the yards near the brooding houses with their mothers their food being gradually increased this is the time they need incess ant watching alberta may snow storms are events to be feared sudden min hail or thunderstorms can be the worst catastrophes even to wiping out the whole hatch as the weather becomes warmer and the crops begin to grow the turkeys are turned out every fine morning into special pastures or grain fields to scratch for them selves i try to persuade my husband that they earn the price of their grain feed by their work in ridding the land of weeds and insect pests we never had a grasshopper in the bad grasshopper years and as for dandelions well that is one of their favorite foods they are fed at noan and night from the troughs and soon learn to answer the chop call in this province of cool nights they are rounded up in the shelters every night in september forceful feeding begins all the chop they can eat three times a day this is made up of onequarter barley a little less than half number one wheat and the remainder oats alfalfa and corn if i can afford it to every hundred pounds i add an ordinary corn tin full of cod liver oil guarding against coyotes as we were leaving dusk was settling quietly on the land the turkeys were being driven to their shelter and a man was going about lighting lanterns at intervals on the surrounding fence posts on enquiry regarding this mrs freeman ex plained that it was done to frighten away coyotes the turkeys too drew the atten tion of the hawks but the presence of these birds of prey was always heralded by a peculiar cry among lie turkeys known as the hawk call the signal is answered by the nearest helper running to the scene of disturbance with a shotgun how- over if this first aid does not mater ialize the turkeys gang together and advance upon the enemy in a body pecking and scratching at him until he drops his victim the marketing begins in july with the hens that were kept over for laying and hatching purposes and which now are a little over a year old it reaches its height from thanksgiving to march all birds are killed scientifically by the helpers who pierce their brains with knives they are drypicked mra freeman prides herself that everything shipp ed from the ranch is in the finest condition she lias never had any sickness in her flocks and diseases like roup are entirely unknown to them she attributes her success to the outofdoor hfo of her turkeys their wellbalanced food the clean liness that attends their care and she doesnt discount the cod liver oil mrs freemans amazing success in this venture is the wonder and talk of the surrounding country her fame too has gone abroad each year she receives hundreds of letters in the spring from ten to by turkey breeders in england south africa and sweden she has received an order for breeders from the jamaica agricultural society a moving picture outfit has taken pictures of the flock for the worlds news reel all these demands are met with a generosity and great good nature and do you ever get a holiday i asked as i left well now she hesitated come to think of it x really dont in the same sense as other people i get up with the turkeys at a quarter to four in the morning spring and summer and of course 1 go to bed at their roosting time glad to call it a day every sunday i see my neighbors drive gaily away to the beautiful lakes that are a part of this proviuce but that is not for me i
