poults as they serve, by example, to 
teach the turkeys where to find the 
food. 
Where artificial methods are em¬ 
ployed there is too often over-eagerness 
on the part of the turkey raiser to 
get the poults to eat too early. They 
should not have anything until they 
are two days old. At first turkeys are 
,fed four times a day, being started 
on a moist mixture of equal parts of 
chick grain and chick mash, in which 
there has been mixed a considerable 
quantity of finely chopped green food. 
After a few weeks the feedings are 
reduced to three times a day. At about 
five weeks of age grain is fed morning 
and night with a feeding of moist 
mash, and finely cut green food. But¬ 
termilk is considered by successful 
poultry raisers as a most essential part 
of the ration, supplying all of this 
material the birds will drink. Natu¬ 
rally a good range where the birds will 
be able to catch grasshoppers and 
other insects as well as procure a sup¬ 
ply of green food is a great asset. 
However, care must be taken that they 
do not range far and become lost. 
The general management of poults 
in the brooder is the same as that for 
baby chicks. A hover large enough 
for fifty chicks will accommodate 
twenty-five poults. In some cases 
hovers are not quite high enough for 
the young turkeys, with the result 
that they are inclined to develop leg 
weakness due to the fact that their 
backs are too close to the source of 
heat. The common coal stove brood¬ 
ers with hovers which may be raised 
are adapted to raising turkey poults 
artificially to very good advantage. 
The temperature at first should be at 
least 90 degrees. It is gradually re¬ 
duced so that in three weeks’ time the 
temperature is down to 70 degrees. As 
a rule, poults 6 or 8 weeks old need no 
artificial heat. 
HATCH GOOSE EGGS IN 
INCUBATOR 
I am a subscriber to your valuable paper. I 
wish to know where I can get some geese eggs 
hatched this spring. 1 lost 97 eggs last spring 
by having to hold them too long before having 
a setting hen or'goose available to hatch them. 
Can they be hatched in an incubator?—T. W., 
New York. 
Goose eggs can be successfully 
hatched in an incubator in substantially 
the same way as hens’ eggs. The pe¬ 
riod of incubation is from 28 to 32 days, 
with an average of close to 30 days, 
whereas the ordinary hen’s egg re¬ 
quires an even three weeks. ( This means 
a little more skill in the handling of 
the incubator, so that the temperature 
conditions are maintained for the full 
period of four weeks. The tempera¬ 
tures are gradually increased each 
week, so that the hatch is brought off 
at 102 to 103 degrees. Attention must 
be given also to the supplying of mois¬ 
ture. This is particularly important, 
as the period of incubation is longer 
than with hens’ eggs. 
If you do not have an incubator, it 
would hardly pay you to buy one for 
your goose eggs alone. Why not go to 
one of your neighbors who has an incu¬ 
bator and make a business arrangement 
for the incubating of your goose eggs 
on a custom-hatching basis? The fair 
charge in this case would be for you 
to pay him 6c for each egg put into his 
incubator and 5c additional for each 
gosling which hatches and lives for a 
period of 24 hours. In return for this 
charge, the man who runs the incubator 
is to give his best attention. He is 
paid for his trouble and the cost of 
operating the machine and the 5c for 
each gosling which he hatches success¬ 
fully is an additional bonus to induce 
him to give his best efforts and atten¬ 
tion to the operation of the machine. 
If you have no immediate neighbor, 
a small advertisement in _ the local 
weekly newspaper should bring you in 
touch with someone within reasonable 
distance of your home. 
Caring For the Winter Layers.—As 
the birds have been accustomed to open 
air conditions, it is necessary that 
proper ventilation be given. Care 
should be taken fo keep the front of the 
house open. Green feed should be in 
no way restricted. It is of great im¬ 
portance at any time of the year, but 
during the winter period it is abso¬ 
lutely necessary. 
Thousands of De Laval 
Separator Users Have 
Received 20 to 30 Years of 
Efficient Service. 
As a result of the Oldest 
De Laval Separator contest in 
which it was announced $25 
would be given to the owner of 
the oldest De Laval in each state, 
thousands of letters have been 
received, which prove beyond all 
question of doubt that 20 to 30 
years of satisfactory service from 
a De Laval Separator is not un¬ 
usual, and with reasonable care, 
to be expected. 
$2S for the Oldest De Laval 
This contest will be open until 
April 7th and other users of Old 
De Lavals who have not entered 
the contest, still have time to do 
so. Simply write us, giving the 
date of purchase, length of serv¬ 
ice, serial number, and a state¬ 
ment concerning its service. Even 
though your De Laval may not 
be as old as some mentioned here, 
enter it anyway, as it must be 
kept in mind that this contest 
covers every state; and in some 
sections separators have not been 
used so long as in others. Win¬ 
ners will be announced May I st. 
Following are a few of the 
many letters from old De Laval 
users, which are typical; 
30 Years 
“Our De Laval Separator was pur¬ 
chased July I2lh, 1893. It has taken 
care of all the milk produced on this 
farm from 1893 until November, 1917, 
and we were milking over 30 cows at 
times. Since November, 1917, I have 
shipped the whole milk. ■ The last time 
I tested the skim-milk it showed 2/100 
of 1 % fat.”—Henry Petersen. 
29 Years 
"I have a De Laval Separator bought 
in May or June, 1894, which has been 
run twice each day ever since, but one 
day. It has many a day separated 
2,000 lbs. of milk and is still in first- 
class condition.”—Fred G. Palmer. 
20 Years 
“We have a De Laval Separator 
that we bought in the fall of 1903. It 
has been used twice a day nearly every 
day, separating on an average of 
83,579 lbs. of milk per year, and is 
still in good repair and doing its work 
well. The last time that the skim- 
milk was tested by the testing associa¬ 
tion it was skimming to 1/100 of 1% 
fat. If this separator ever wears out 
we shall want another De Laval."— 
A. B. and J. M. Bicknell. 
22 Years 
“I purchased my De Laval on De¬ 
cember 21, 1901, and it is still in very 
good working condition. My neighbor 
has worn out two other makes already 
and has the third. Mine still skims 
cleaner than his and 1 hope to use it 
about ten years yet. It is not to be 
worn out.”—George P. Leibold. 
25 Years 
“My De Laval Separator was bought 
in the spring of 1898. We have used 
no other. This summer we had our 
skim-milk tested at the creamery and 
it tested 2/100 of 1%. It will be 
good for years yet.”—Mrs. Tena 
Larson. 
24 Years 
“My De Laval Separator was pur¬ 
chased in 1899 and has been in service 
every year. This machine has sepa¬ 
rated about 18,000 gallons of milk an¬ 
nually. It has given me excellent serv¬ 
ice and skims cold milk perfectly. My 
sister purchased a new De Laval last 
spring and has saved nearly enough to 
buy a good milch cow.”—Emil S. 
Shubert. 
Four to Five Times* More Use 
Evidence such as this from 
thousands of users proves that a 
De Laval will last from four to 
five times as long as the average 
separator, and do better work 
the time. It proves conclusively 
that the De Laval is the best and 
cheapest separator. The De Laval 
you buy today is the best cream 
separator ever built. With rea¬ 
sonable care it will last you a 
lifetime, and will pay for itself 
within a year. Sold on easy 
terms. See your De Laval agent 
or write us for full information.

“Molasses 
a Feed” 
More Milk 
Molasses adds materially to the palata- 
bility of the ration fed to dairy cows. And 
that means the cows enjoy their food 
more - get more nourishment out of it — 
and that results naturally in more milk. 
And for horses, hogs and sheep molasses 
is just as palatable, just as valuable. The 
price of good molasses is very low now.
