Local grocer Adam Doonges argues poultry farming is a serious enterprise for beginners. He says success comes from selecting good stock, starting small, specializing in one breed, proper housing and exercise, early hatching, Vermin control, and steady work to keep birds healthy and productive.
The article warns that turkey eggs require protection as they are laid daily and vulnerable to predators. It lists thieves and pests like snakes, crows, dogs, and raccoons as major egg destroyers, and notes hens may move nests if disturbed. It urges careful handling and proper storage near the floor for hatching success.
Drilling report lists progress across Wilbarger County wells with multiple companies and rigs at various depths. Entries name operators such as Armstrong & Churchill Wharton Goss Burk-Waggoner Penn-Burk and others, noting shutdowns at depths like 1060 2110 2700 and 2136 feet while some rigs are still drilling or awaiting orders.
The report lists several drilling operations including Porterfield at 1140 feet with W F Norton, Section 60 at 1456 feet now taken over by Delta Oil, Koch Oil Co, Neal preparing to erect a 132 foot derrick, Sigler Drilling Co No 1 Wheat casing at 2730 feet, The 44 Oil and Gas Co No 1 Gilliam at 1850 feet, Mulky at GLO feet, all noting shut downs or ongoing work.
The United States Department of Agriculture notes turkey hens are close sitters and can hatch poults well when properly managed. If too many eggs crowd under a hen or under incubators, hatch rates drop, so producers stagger setting and rotate eggs to ensure hens take a brood.
The Stillman divorce suit centers on a two year old boy son of James A. Stillman and his wife. Fred Beauvaix is named as correspondent as the case unfolds. Mrs Stillman names Florence Seeds in a counter claim. Turkey hens cover from 15 to 18 eggs, with incubation details noted.
A historical note states that turkey eggs number eight to ten and that an incubator’s capacity for turkey eggs is only about three quarters of its capacity for chicken eggs, indicating a depressing shortfall.
