governor, do you anticipate that the aka

culture or anything else!' l asked of ex-Sen-

here that we could grow wheat, and for q
long time obtained that commodity from
Chill, yet at the same time wild grass was
growing up to the saddles of the horses as we
rode along in California We finally began
to grow wheat, but thought it could not be
done without irrigation; experience showed
US that in very many cases no irrigation at
all was required TO make crop. Twas a
long time persuading Brigham Young to
grow some wheat without going to the ex-
pense and labor Of ditching ard irrigating.

TURKEYS TILL YOU CAN'T REST

An Experienced Commission Merchant
Gives q Reporter Some Turkey Lore.
Turkeys until you can't rest"
"More than ordinarily 500"
s'There always are plenty Of turkeys" ex-
p,aiaed the commission merchant, "but l
never saw the promise of such large crop
before. If YOU were 10 take trip up through
the center OF this state, or out through New
England, you would find the trees around
every farm house full of them"
lis there much profit IN raising turkeys"
Lots of it. 1t costs the farmer next to
nothing to raise them. They generally go OH
in the spring and make their nests IN fence
corners and out of the way places. where they
hatch their young. From that time on they
are no expense to speak OF, as they usually
take their hroods into the woods when they
can If they are kept in the barnyard they
do not cost any more than chickens to raise
When this is done the farmers generally shut
I'D the old hen for q few weeks, until the
youngsters get enough strength TO keep up
with her. They get most OF their LIVING out
of the bugs and insects that they find, but
come around at night for handful OF corn
or wheat
"About the middle Of October the early
turkeys are pretty well grown, and they are
put through q fattening process for market.
A good many different methods are en-
ployed Some farmers give them all the
corn they can eat three times day. Others
shut them up and feed cornmeal dough;
when the turkey tires of eating the farmer
stuffs the dough down his throat with spoon
until he is crammed full. Oil meal and sun
flower seeds are also used for fattening and
in some sections walnuts are fed in the same
manner The dose is increased until just be-
fore killing time, when two dozen nuts are
fed each day This is the Italian method,
and the rich flavor Of the nut makes the tur-
key taste like wild game. The western farm
ers send them here for Thanksgiving and
Christmas by the carload In California
they have f1ocks of turkeys numbering thou
sands. They herd them like sheep. When
the grain is harvested they let them foray in
their immense wheat and barley fields, and
the fattening does not cost anything. All of
the early turkeys are sent to market in No
vember, and the later ones are kept till hoh-
day time. The early ones from the west
come alive, and are killed here; but, after
cold weather sets in, they are Killed ana
plucked where they are raised"
sWhere are the best turkeys raisedp
'In Connecticut, where many large varie-
ties are raised There is one odd thing about
turkeys The more one weighs the more it
will bring a pound, and there will be no end
of them this year. New York Mail and
