WINTER RATION FOR TURKEYS
Only Sufficient Food Should Be Given
to Keep the Birds in Good
Healthy Condition.
(By C. BE. BROWN,
west Experiment
Minn.)
During the winter €eason the stock
turkeys should be fed and watered
twice a day. Only sufficient food
should be given to keep them in good
healthy condition. When winter is
over it is advisable to feed them a
emall amount of grain each evening
to encourage them to return to their
roosting quarters and thus prevent
them from wandering away with other
flocks. The following ration Is a good
one for the turkeys: Mix equal parts
by weight of corn or barley, oats and
wheat screenings, and in addition to
this green food should be supplied
once a day. For this purpose mangels,
cabbage or clover leaves are the best.
Grit and water should be supplied at
all times,

Valuable Clover Crop.
As a soiling crop, to be hauled di
rect from the field to the manger,
clover has no equal, except possibly
alfalfa. As a green manure crop, it
fs especially valuable. As a usual
thing, failures with clover ean be at
tributed ww a lack of knowledge, or
inattention to, the details of its grow-
ing. It is to the apparently "little
things” that the most successful
clover growers attribute their success.
Breeding Places.
The old decaying apple trees in the
orchard are veritable breeding places
for all sorts of fruit pests. Keep them
well chopped out, using them for fire
wood this winter and replacing them
with new, healthy trees.
