Hicks Former President of the American Poultry Association. COPYRIGHT. 1915. X While turkey raising does not re quire the amount of care necessary to >ueeess in other <iei»artiiicnts of the poultry industry, there are certain points that must be observed. In tlds article. Mr. Hk-ks gives some valu able suggestions about breeding, feed ing and earing for the flock. He also tells how to prepare birds for the mar ket. THE turkey Is in all probability the only one of the domesticated fowls of purely American origin. When the early explorers first came to America they found large flocks of turkeys roaming in the forests. The Spanish explorers carried live speci mens back to Spain and in a few years turkeys were prolific in Southern Spain, the climate of which was in many respects similar to that of the West Indies and Mexico. Sir Walter Raleigh carried them to England. All of the seven popular varieties of turkeys have grown out of the original wild turkey. These wild tur keys were black and bronze in color. In the sparsely settled sections of the South and Southwest flocks of wild turkeys are still to be found. In such localities it is difficult to keep tame turkeys, as they are inclined to go off with the wild birds in the Fall. The wild turkey Is not as large as the tame variety, but, living under natural con ditions. is very vigorous and hardy. One trouble with the tame turkey is I that where kept under artificial condi-! tions. they are liable to depreciate in vitality. Some breeders have intro duced wild blood into the bronze va riety to re-establish vitality. The wild cprr HELPS for riVCiL POULTRYMEN More eggs better chicks healthy poultry—more protit.

SATURDAY EVENING, feather ending in a broad light steel gray band edged with black flights, black barred with grayish white; tail black barred with brown and ending in a broad back band with a light gray edge. The primary coverts where they show are white, forming a broad white band across the wing when folded. Full-grown hens weigh from 12 to 18 pounds, males from 20 to 30 pounds. turkey has also been domesticated, and is known as the black turkey. Comparative Weights of Breeds The bronze turkey Is the most popu lar and also the largest. A two-year old cock will frequently weigh as high ias flftv pounds. The standard w eight | required is 36 pounds. A yearling I cockbird should weigh three pounds ! under this, white a cockerel should weigh twenty-five pounds by the time he is a veftr old. A year-old hen should weigh twenty pounds to be up to standard, while a pullet should weigh sixteen pounds. The majority of bronze turkeys, however, are from five to ten pounds under these weights in the males and from three to five pounds in the females. The Xarragansett turkey runs a few pounds lighter in weight and is black in color, with steel-gray bands run ning across the ends of the feathers. The Bourbon Red. as its name im plies, is a product of Kentucky and is cinnamon red in color. It is of com paratively recent origin and has not yet demonstrated any superior points over the regular standby variety of bronze turkeys. The white Holland, black, buff and slate, as their names indicate, have respectively white, black, buff and slate plumage. These are the smallest and range in weight from 20 to 28 pounds for the males and from 12 to 18 pounds for the females. They have no special points of superiority over the bronze, and it is merely a matter of faijcy for any particular color. Production of Turkeys No accurate figure of the production of the turkey crop annually in the' United States is obtainable, but it will run into millions —probably as high as $25,000,000. In very few States are the figures kept separate from those of poultry, ducks and geese. The main territory for the production of turkeys is in the Middle South and Southwest and also In a portion of the Central West, comprising Kentucky. Tennessee, the northern parts of Georgia, Missouri. Alabama. Arkansas. Kansas, Oklahoma,, parts of Texas, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. There are also large numbers of turkeys pro duced In Rhode Island, parts of Ver mont and Massachusetts. These have established a name for themselves, be ing known as Rhode Island turkeys, and command a special price on the market, even above those produced in the South and West, owing to the special care with which they are fed, fattened and put on the market. Free Range Im|H>rtant The two most important things for raising turkeys are, first, an abund ance of free range where they can wander over the field and through the woods and thus secure a largre part of their living and, secondly, an abundance of cheap grain, like corn. Corn is an ideal feed after the poults (as young turkeys are called) are about half grown. Xo expensive houses or costly build ings are needed, as they will "do best if allowed to roost in the trees, or on poles laid under a tree. If desired to protect them at all from snow and storms, a shed open on all four sides will be quite sufficient. For breed ing young stock in the summer, while the hens are setting and hatching, and for the first few weeks after the hatch is completed, a small box or barrel to protect them from the storms is all that is needed. Turkeys are a source of profit where an abundance of free range can be had, as they art- enabled to pick up their living in the way of bugs. In sects, weed seeds, bits of grass, etc. Tor the first six to eight weeks of their lives young poults are more care than young chicks, but after that they re quire very little care, except to see that they are fed and fattened in the Fall, just Before they are sent to market. Selection of Breeding Stock In breeding turkeys the vitality of the breeding stock is of even more im portance than in the breeding of any other pou4try. They have been inbred very largely, and many of the trou bles of turkey raising is caused by this inherited weakness. In selecting breeding stock, only thrifty, well-de veloped males and females, weighing I within a pound or so of the standard requirements, should be chosen. It !s seldom advisable to use birds that run t^, d J nreß&§ ! T T T ▼ » V VTTTTTTT T .^ i What Happened to Jane ■ By Virginia Terhune Van de Water < CHAPTER IV, , j Monday morning! Who does not know that It Is the dreariest, inotit de pressing morntng of the entire weak? The morning following the Sunday night on which Augustus Reeves had accompanied Ezra Hardy home, in the hope of seeing Jane, was no exception to this rule. Sound-vy had been a per-i feet day. Monday was dull and lower-1 Ing, with a chill in the air that boded rain. Indeed, as Jane awoke andNooked out of her window a few sullen drops were beginning to fall. She recollect ed that Edward Sanderson had to re turn to town early this morning, that he had probably already gone. She* heard the whistle of the six-forty-five train up the road. That was perhaps the very train that was to bear htm away from Milton. He had not said when he would be back again. He had mentioned that he hoped to spend his summer vacation of two weeks out here, but had not suggested that he would be out for any week-ends be fore then. A sense of dullness and staleness came to the girl. Life was fearfully tame in the country, she thought. Yet only yesterday it had seemed ideal. She dressed listlessly; then, hearing her mother moving about below, hur ried a little that she might help in the preparation of breakfast. Hor father was bringing in the milk when she reached the kitchen, and she took the pail from him preparatory to straining it and setting it in pans tn the cellar. Her Father Complains About the Family Cow "That cow's not doing well this year," Ezra complained to his wife. "She's getting old. I guess. We'd real ly ought to sell her while she's, worth something and buy a good cow. It would pay, too, for some of the sum mer folks would buy milk from us." "Well, why not do It?" asked Jane. She was a little irritated at her fath er's dissatisfied tone. Was it not bad enough for her to feel depressed with out other people feeling the same way? "Because the old cow won't fetch near what the new one'U cost," Ezra explained. "And just now money's mighty scarce." "It has been for some time, hasn't it?" remarked his daughter. "It seems to me that for several years I've heard that sentence over and over." She had not meant to speak sharply and regretted having done so as she saw her father's face darken. "Well, Janie," he returned, "it isn't my fault. I've done the best 1 can— but I'm playing a losing gaqie. There's no money in farming, unless you have lots of money to begin with and to keep going with. That's why I've sold so much land. 1 make more hy that than by cultisating it. The house is mortgaged, too, you know, and it'll have to be mortgaged still more soon. If not—l don't know how we'll get along." "Oh," Mrs. Hardy declared wtih de termined optimism, "we'll get along somehow, father. You stop your wor rying. In the first place, we'll sell th'e cow and we've pot enough money to pay for the new one. Then we'll sell milk and cream to the city folks as you said. So that will put us through ihe summer—for I've had quite some or over standard weight, because usually the extra large birds are poor breed ers, just as the extra small birds make poor breeders. Id mating turkeys none under twen ty months old should be used for breeders, while birds that are two years old are far better. It certainly will not pay to hatch from them in their first year, and thfey should be carried over at least until the second year. • Turkeys can be used for breed ing from five to six years, as they are longer lived than chickens. In mating, one torn should be mated with not to exceed ten liens, while six to seven is productive of better results. It is absolutely necessary that, tur keys used for breeding have an abun dance of range, or the eggs will lack (fertility and the young stock will lack vitality. While breeding they should be fed a grain ration, com posed of equal parts of wheat, corn and oats. It is not necessary or ad visable to feed them any mash during the breeding season. Natural llut<-liing Best It has been found unprofitable to attempt to hatch turkey eggs in an in cubator or to raise the young under brooders. They should be hatched and raised under natural conditions in order to do well. Often when a tur key hen has laid out her "clutch" of about twenty-five eggs she will start setting on all the eggs. This is too many, and she should not be allowed over twenty eggs at most. The others should be set under hens—ten to a large hen. As soon as the little poults are hatched out by the chicken hens they should be given to the turkey mother hen. It is best to allow the turkey hen to <nake her nest and to let her set and hatch where she will. It is well to cover the nest with an old box or barrel, open at one end. to protect it from storms. From 28 to 30 days are required for turkey eggs to hatch. The young turkeys do far better if allowed to go with their mother hen than with the chicken hen. A chicken hen does not range enough for them after they are a few weeks old. For the first two or three weeks the tur key hen should be confined so she will not range, especially in the damp grass and weeds, but after that she may be allowed to range at will The young poults should not be fed anything for twenty-four hours. Their first feed should be some grit or coarse sand. Then give them some dried bread crumbs with which a small amount of hard-boiled egg has been chopped up. Some successful raisers give each small poult a grain of black pepper for the first feed. Finely chop ped onions, either the bulb or stalk are also good for the first few feeds! For the first week the bread crumb and egg mixture should be fed every three hours. After this fine cracked wheat may be fed. and in addition they can be given three times a day a mash of cornineal, wheat middlings and wheat bran, in equal parts, mixed in milk and cooked. They should be fed very sparingly for the first three weeks After three weeks cracked com, hulled oats and whole wheat may be fed four times SL day. When the poults begin to range with the mother hen, feeding is necemsjirv only twice a day, mornings and even ings, unless the range is limited and they have but little opportunity to pick up their living. It is necessary to feed them in the evening after they have ranged freely In order to keep them tame and easily approachable. NEAL OF THE NAVY " f „. "i colonial sftassf 1 ————————l———____ HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH derg for eggs, and some for chickens, too." "Oh, the summer's well enough." Ezra admitted. "We don't have to heat the house then, so don't need coal for any stoves but the kitchen one; and we have our vegetables in the gar den, and our own chickens and eggs. But what about the Fall?" "Oh, well," hi« wife reiterated, "we'll get along somehow." Jane Talks About Trying to Teach "Yes," said Jane gloomily, "perhaps I'll get a job somewhere as teacher on the munificent salarr paid a country school-marm. I try to think I like the prospect of leaving home —but somehow I don't manage to get the proper mental attitude. "I was homesick while I was at the Xormal School, although I came home for Sundays then. If I am settled away off In some Squeedunk-kind of a place. I can't get home often." The picture seemed dark to her, and her words increased the general depression. When the trio sat down [to breakfast, Ezra sighed heavily. "I don't just feel as if I could stand having you teach off In some outland ish place, Janie," he mused. "Per haps if you treat him well Ous Reeves might put In a good word for you with the School Board and get-you a place In the Milton school. He is a big man on the board,, you know." Mrs. Hardy glanced at her daugh ter, but saw no blush or tremor at the sound of Augustus Reeves' name. But the girl looked grave. "I had not thought of that," she said slowly. "I should think, however, that his friendship for you and moth er would make him try to get me the position—even if I was not what you call 'nice' to him. But I am always polite and agreeable to him, father." "You wasn't particularly agreeable to him when you went off to bed last night—and you knowing that he was coming," observed her father reprov ingly. Jano laughed, her depression dis pelled by the memory of how she had esraped her pompous admirer. "Well, no—perhaps I wasn't" the girl confessed. "But, honestly I didn't feel like talking to him. He is a good man, of course—-and he may have lots of influence in the village and in tht church—but he is an awful talker. And having gone to church twice, and to Sunday school besides. I was rathei tired, so went off to bed. He wasn't vexed at my disappearance, was he?" He would have been if your mother liadn't smoothed him out by telling him that you were very tired, and so forth. But Janie, Reeves has influence and money, too. Remember that tie fore you turn him down agaiu. And he likes you. Remember that, too." The girl flushed hotly, started to speak, then closed her lips firmly. Could her father be thinkiry; Just what Ned Sanderson had expressed last night? And could he be displeased with her for evading Reeves' atten tion? Ridiculous! Surely he would not want her to encourage a man of that age, even though Augustus Reeves was a good man and her father did need money! Resolutely she turned the conversa tion into other and more pleasant channels. Fresh water should be constantly ac cessible. Fattening For Market The best tims for marketing tur keys is from two weeks before Thanks giving until the Christmas holidays. This means that young turkeys should be fed an increased amount of from about the first of November. It does not pay to fatten them in con finement. They should be allowed their usuak range and fed four times daily. It is especially important when fattening turkeys that the last feed at night, just before they go to roost, be abundant. Whole corn is an ideal feed for fattening them. The best price can be obtained usually in local 'markets If the birds are properly killed and nicely dressed. They should be killed in the same manner a chicken is killed—by stick ing them with a knife and allowing them to bleed to death. They should be dry-picked, leaving a few of the feathers on the extreme ends of the wings. Dry-picking must be done as soon as the bird is killed. Select Small Birds For Table Large turkeys, weighing twenty pounds or over when dressed, are usually old ones, and are not as ten der and delicate as the smaller birds. In selecting a turkey to eat. it is wise therefore, to select one of medium weight. The wing feathers also are an indication of the age of a turkey. If the points of these feathers are sharp it is a sign that the turkey is young; if the points are rounded the bird is a year old or more. The breast bone in young turkeys is soft and tun der, while In old birds it is hard, firm bone. In the old bronze variety the legs of the young fowl are dark, al most black, while in old birds they are of a pinkish shade.

He leaned oyer Joe, and wound some cord loosely about his hands. "IH need you," hs whispered, "but make no mistake. Mistakes are fatal when I'm around." He left the Brute on guard and marched the crew back to the engine. "How near are we to the nearest sta tion?" he queried, "tell me truth." | "Not for miles, sonor," they gasped, ! "only a little farther on in a deserted station, Montrada. No trains atop there. It is discontinued." "Any occupants?" queried Hernan dez. "None—it is deserted. It is even j haunted, senor." "How—haunted?" "Something there goes click—click —click —click —always when we pass." Hernandez chuckled to himself. "A i telegraph instrument," he said to him self. "I thought so—that's the shack | we passed this morning. Now," he oommanded, "come out here and clear | tile track of these obstructions —no, j you do it," he commanded the Brute.! The Brute ran from his position In the 1 oar, leaped to the ground, and with a twist or two ot one hand tossed the felled trees from the track. "Now," said Hernandez, "run us | down to that shed. 1 don't know what I'm going to do Just yet, but I'll find out there." He whistled softly. A third figure | emerged from the forest, tripped across the rails and entered the bag gage car. This was Inez Castro. She passed on into the passenger end ot' the coach. She smiled geatly at An nette. « "So, my charming friend." she said, 1 "at last you have seen fit to intrust your treasures to Senorita Inez Cas tro. Good, my little one.'' They reached the ancient shed. Over its closed doorway was an old sign, i "Montrada." Hernandez broke open the door by means of his usual agency—the Brute Hernandez darted to the keys—he was a soldier of fortune and this learn ing was one of his equipments. Bound as she was in the car, Annette could hear what the instrument said, for, singularly enough, Hernandez, when he first called, used the Spanish tongue; later he clicked in English words. It was clear that Ponto was at the other end of the wire, and some where near La Plaza. "What news, good Ponto?" he in quired oyer the keys. "Any danger of pursuit?" And Ponto answered: "That," he said, '1 cannot tell. But much activ ity. There is talk of war. There is talk of a detachment coming over land." "By train?" 'By train," said Ponto, telegraph ically speaking. "And i:he next train?" "Days ott," said Ponto. "Good!" "Walt," said Ponto, "there is more news. I shall call you up again." "What news?" "I do not know. There Is something going on. I shall find out in an hour." CHAPTER XLVII. The Troop Train. Ponto's information was qnite cor rect. It had to be. or he could never have quanfied as the partner of Her nandez. On Neat's return from the railroad station at La Plaza he found an under current of excitement present upon the cruiser Albany. Half an hour after his return the captain of the cruiser had received a wireless from Washington. It was significant its tenor. The wireless operator handed it to him as It was received. The captain glanced at it. "It looks important," he said; "decode it at once." It was decoded. This is what it said: GENERAL ORDERS FROM NAVY DEPARTMENT. » Deciphered From Code "G. M War Imminent with Aliemania. Keep all chlpa prepared for aotlon. Trans fer all poaaible men to Pacific aquad ron. Recommend meritorious warrant officers for promotion to commission. HUTCHINSON, Chief of Staff. ■ An order from Washington is an order. An order when war is imminent Is a double quick order. The captain of the cruiser Albany had been wait ing for double quick orders —he had smelled them in the air. He had felt them in his bones. In one hour he had picked his men. The first man he summoned was Neal. "Neat" he said, calling him by name, "I've recommended you for a commission." Neal jumped out of his shoes al most. "I —a commission," he gasped; "why—l thought—l can't understand "Don't think," said the captain sharply; "we've got to act.' 1 He handed Neal typewritten instruc tions. "You'll get your commission In due form. AJy recommendations go —particularly at a time like this. Take fifty men/at once—and proceed to Join the battleship Missouri at Chantillo. That's all." Neal saluted t.nd swung about. "Walt," said the captain. Neal waited. "I Just want to shake hands, old man," said the c&ptaln. "You deserve your luck If ever man did. Good-by." An hour afterwards Jfeal and his squad were at La Plaza once more, consulting the railroad master. _ "We VUt a tr&in, and right away,"! NOVEMBER 13, 1015. said Neal. "The road will make lta fortune. It will declare a dividend. When does she go?" "Not for two days or BO.' The en gine—the good one—she is be repair." "What can we do?" said Neal. The station master brightened. He desired at all costs to get this squad of Americanos out of town. They were rioters—at least so Ponto had in formed him. Yes, they must go. "Ah, senor," he said. "1 have idea There are dirt train cars—no engine— but what you call, almost gravity road from here to Chantillo—all downhill almost all the way." "Show me," said Neal. He was shown. "Well," he said to his men, "what do you say, boys. They'll rock us some, but they're the best we can do. Is the road clear?" "Clear all the way, senor. The last train —the little train —she have ar rived at Chantillo now." "We're game," said his men; "come on!" They came on—that is they got on —the whole squad. A crowd of natives saw them ofT. One of these natives, hid den from view by the othera. crawled under the foremost car and did some thing. He crawled to the second and did something—to the third and did something. What he did no one Knew. Down the line at the deserted shack labeled "Montrada," Hcrnaniez came out from within, with complete satis faction written on his face. Hernandez sauntered out and glanced up the track. The track was straight and downhill all the way. It was like a canyon cut through a mass of undergrowth and heavy trees. Ther<_ was nothing to distract the attention —it was a clean cut avenue as far aa the eye could reach. He watched. Up the track somewhere the troop train was shooting curves with spright ly lurches. "Getting a bit too lively," said Neal; "better apply the brakes." The order was obeyed—so far as the will was concerned. But the man at the brakes shook his head. "Brakes won't work," he said. "No matter," said Neal, "we reach the bottom of this hill three miles out of Chaptlllo. Then we go up. We're bound to slacken up some time." One of his men plucked him by the sleeve. "What's that?" he cried, point ing down through the canyon, flanked by trees. "Look ahead." "By George!" said Neal, "a train. The brakes—every man jack of you— the brakes!" The brakes wouldn't work. "Funny,** Mid Neal; "we tried before we started. Funny they won't work." It may or may not have been funny—but It was the fact The brakes would not work. "We're In for It," said Neal. "Boys, every man Jack of you—you've got to face this. That Jungle is soft stuff — It's a velvet lining. We may get scratched, but we can't get hurt. Every man of you get ready and when 1 say the word slide off —as easy as you can —but slide. Guns and equipment first—then yourselves—when I say the word." ' Squatted on the edge of the Jungle was the Brute. He looked up the track. Idly following Hernandez' gaze. Sud denly he rose—quivering with excite ment., "Look—see," he said. His glance turned dumbly from the onrushing troop train to the stationary one. An other man might have rushed to the latter and warned its occupants or car ried them out. But not the Brute. He had a glimmering. He started off. "Come back," said Hernandez, "you beast." The Brute never heard him. He only heard the onrushing train. He seized a locee rail lying by the track. He thrust it under the stationary rail —the nearest him —he thrust it into the roadbed. He Jerked and strove at it like a demon. Within, Joe Welcher heard it com ing. He looked now. He gave one gasp, made one dive, and plunged into the safety of the Jungle. Hernandez dared not move. Bafety lay in his remaining up track —out of the danger zone below. He felt that the Brute was doing fruitless work that no man, no human agency within a minute's time could raise that rail. He didn't know—there was something superhuman within the Brute. He was more than a man—he was a man driven beast —perhaps God-driven. He plied his giant lever like a giant Neal realized at last what was meant He knew now that that train was An nette's train. were off—all of them. He alone remalued, rooted to the spot. He was powerless to do anything. Suddenly—obeying the in stinct of Bafety—for he could do noth ing else —training had taught him that a foolish risk of life was suicide —obeying the instinct of self-preserva tlon, he leaped, leaped safely. • At that instant with one final grnnt —one final heave —the Brute bent his mighty shoulders in one last desper ate thrust—and sent the rail spinning, loose, detached, uprooted, to one side. The next Instant the troop train — empty as It was—reached the broken track and left it With the roar of thunder It plunged, plowed through the soft earth and plunged pell mell through the deserted nhed, missing the train by a mere hairshreadth. An instant later Hernandez plunged into the Jungle. The Brute followed him, as a guilty dog follows its master —whimpering with fear.
