Part of the breeding females may be tried and proved as breeders, but generally the majority of then will be young females se lected in the autumn from the grow- ing birds, says A. G. Taylor, Poul- try Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The older breeders have been care- fully selected as breeders the previ ous season with the object of getting them through the molt before the cold weather, It is important that e egg laying he brought to a stop as soon as the hatching season is con- cluded. The proper way to slow up production with such females is to put them on pasture, reduce the feed by removing all mashes and give them a small ration of oats once daily. These reduced rations should be continued for about three weeks after production of eggs has ceased Increase the supply of feed gradual- ly and a moist mash, with fattening t properties, should be fed daily at noon. This should induce moulting and prepare the birds for cold weather. Early in November check over the growing turkeys. Breeding birds re- quired should be removed from the flock before fattening commences. In selecting your females as future breeders only those which have made good development should be re- tained. Avoid the bird which is long in leg and slim in build as well as the one which is undersize and has a split wing or a wry tail. Select a bird with good balance in body. The back should be broad and the width car- ried well to the rear. Good depth and width of body are important in any breeding bird, These breeding fe- males should not be fattened but should be kept on good growing ra- tions. What has been said concerning the selection of breeding females applies equally well in the selec- tion of a breeding male, If he is of the broad -breasted variety great im- portance should be placed on his body carriage. Males with a horizon- tal body carriage frequently give poor fertility. The male that walks with a free body movement and car- ries a moderately high breast car- riage is the best and the one at the head ofthepen should not be re- lated to the females. If a number of breeding pens are to be mated up keep the adult fe- males in groups by themselves and mate them to adult toms. It will be found that the mating season for adult birds is later than for younger breeders. At the Central Experiment- al Farm, Ottawa, it has been found that about eight adult females are sufficient for an adult tom, In the Younger birds ten to twelve females can be sucessfully mated to a young male. During the winter turkey breeders should be housed in houses or sheds which are well ventilated but not draughty. If at all possible let them run outside except on very stormy days or when the weather is. extreme- ly cold. Breeding turkeys are hardy and can stand all kinds of weather but the more they are subjected to unfavorable conditions the greater will be the feed costs. Do not let them roost in draughty quarters, de not house them in warm houses or with barnyard hens. Practical Training Helps Rural Girls From an article " Practical Train- ing Helps Rural Girls" by Maud M. Kerr in The Family Herald and Weekly Star:— Twenty-year old Ruth Carnochan, R. R. 3, Seaforth is the only girl in the family and we foundher su- pervising young brother Kenny as he did some °leaning up in her garden. It was a lovely garden with a fine variety of vegetables and small fruits. From it Ruth and her mother had done considerable canning— some 132 quarts of fruit, '(50 qts. of raspberries without sugar), 30 qts: of peas, 100 qts. tomatoes and some carrots. Ruth, tall and gentle -man nered is a County Honor girl in the Homemaking Clubs, With two broth- ers at home, John, 16 and Kenny 10, Ruth does not need to do so many outdoor chores as other farm girls, 'but sloes her share of milking and looking after the 500 poultry usually raised on the farm. Her hobby is making quilts and embroidery. We asked Ruth about her education and found that she had two years of High School, which she considers' enough for any girl who intends to remain on the farm. She enjoys reading' and so is never lonely—and incidentally, Ruth is very proud of her brother Jim, who is now in the Navy. The Carnochan family are friendly folk, and a visit with them was a pleasant interlude in a busy day.
