Confining turkeys during ifce fatten-, ing reason has not proved successful. They will eat heartily for two or three days, but after this they will lose their appetite nnd bejiln to lose flenh rapidly. Naturally, they are wild birds and thrive only when they have access to open range. During the summer and fall they And un ubundance of feed on the average farm; however, It Is advisable to give them a small feed at night for the purpose of bringing them home to roost. Grasshoppers and other Insects, weeds and grass seeds, green vegetation, berries and grain picked up in the fields and about go to make up the turkey's dally ra- Hion, and when all these are plentiful they are In splendid condition when the fattening season arrives. A satisfactory plan for fattening Is to begin by feeding small Trahi night and morning, not enough at a time but that, the birds will walk away still a little hungry, and gradually Increase i&e quantity, adding some corn, untii are given all they will eat three times a day. Along at the close of ythe fattening seasou corn, supplemented with fresh sour milk, ^nay constitute tiie full ration. New corn may be fed •safely provided the turkeys are ^gradually accustomed to It, otherwise scaurs may result. '•"Various kinds~<5f nuts are a natural fattening feed picked up by turkeys <on the range. In parts of Texas many growers, properly situated, depend solely on acorns for fattening their ^turkeys, and when the mast fs plentiful the birds are marketed in fairly good condition, . <v i,; . " Use Lights in Pouray ^ • i ^ House During Winter r ^ feries of cautions for the user of lights in the poultry house is found in the Ohio state poultry calendar. They are as follows: ; Grade and pen pullets according to .age, condition, and laying qualities, so that each group may be properly handled. Excessive fall production makes it hard to keep the flock In heavy production during the winter. Don't use lights to produce, more than a 14-hour dayi Excessive %se of lights means overproduction, followed lA damp. • #j - -v * To avoid a spring molt, discontinde lights slowly in the spring. Use lights on breeders only after January 1 to 15, in order to help them back into production. Don't crowd production over 00 per cent, otherwise the flock vwlll become thhv and molt. lie regular In management and 1186 of lights. Feed grain liberally when using lights. Always have feed and water available when light* are on. ?; Do ^iot tarn tlgbts oif too la the spring. %, Do not stop feeding early andT late in the day when lights are finally eliminated. iarly Liyere tJsu^iy , He^vy Egg Producers Pullets that begin to lay early mroalljr are thf? I\e&>ieat producers In the fio'ck and^ fbr'ihls reason It Is an excellent practice to mark them so that they can bo given, due consideration .tor their performance next year when Ijt comes time to cull the flock. It is pointed out % L. K. Card, of the University of ItlinolB. Pullets that are extremely late in starting to lay are itlwayer certain to be the least desirable birds to use as breeders. In breeding for higher egg production, individuals of thl*, type should ; be kept out of the breeding pens. If the enrlylaying pullets are banded with numbered leg bands, aH that is necessary Is to make a record of the Individual band numbers and the approximate date on which egg laying starts. Another equally satis •^factory scheme is to use colored lep bandp, in which case a different cot ored band should be used to mark the j.ullets that start laying In'tfie differ ent months. • SKepawroapw® AY, MOV. 29, IMS tlutf lubricates tue pistons have the chassis of your car and other mowg parts. lubricated erery 500 piiles. r From the tray the oil runs iato the bottom of the p-- aad is again drawn up through a fine mesh screen and pumped to ikm vafo» dbamber.

Pr6p*r Roof "Fits In" to Lijrtes of Beauty The right sort of roof on a house Is as important as the right hat on a pretty woman smartly gowned, accord Ing to John Haydeo, ifritinfc ti Tour Home Magazine. "There are some houses," he says, "so roofed that they look like an elephant wearing a number seven derby hat. There are others that loofe as if the owner had by mistake clapped on them the dunce cap meant for himmt • , "In roofe, as In hata, there Is an eternal fitness. For instance, a man may put a corrugated Iron roof on his woodshed, though It is unbeautiful; but he doesn't pot one on his new colonial house even though the strength, durability and cheapness of sueh a roof are smciy beyond question."
