Mammoth Bronze Turkeys.


The rearing of turkeys is one OF the
most profitable pursuits in which one
may engage, under proper conditions.
Upwards of 100000 worth of turkeys
are annually brought into the Fast
ern markets fol- consumption and for
use us breeders.
A number of varieties are reared,
but of thousands of birds prepared
for market, large percentage OF
them will notaverage over six pounds
each. OF the pure-bred stock, the
Mammoth Bronze is most extensive
ly bred, and is, in fact, king of all
the turkeys, as it reaches the largest
size. A flock of young stock often
average l24 pounds each, while forty
pound toms are to be met with by all
successful breeders, and in three
year-old form they sometimes reach
the enormous weight of fifty pounds
each.
The group of Mammoth Bronze
turkeys illustrated on this page is
bred to high type of perfection by
the use of fresh blood from the do
mesticated wild turkey, insuring
hardness, prolific laying and early
maturity;lalso a plumage which re-
sembles in the sunlight brownish
gold. These also have finer wattles
than other varieties. We are breeding
at the present time extensively of this
variety of turkeys, and also OF the
til.est standard Wyandottes. We be-
lieve the illustration of Bronze Tur-
keys on this page which is taken from
photographs of birds actually in our
possession, is one of the finest ever
published.
Breeding turkeys requires care and
skill, like any other successful occupa'
ton. AS arule, broad backed, full
,, breasted and large-boned breeding
birds are selected. Young hens viii
lay more eggs, but not ofsuch size al
p, older ones. Six hens and a tom make
very good breeding pen, but ont
can use as many as twelve hens witt
good vigorous tom.
/. AS a general rule, turkeys are al

ly few PERSONS who care nue., about
what seems to thenf an abstract in Jus.
tice. even if il be practiced against
themselves. Moreover, with most women
the instinct of self-assertion is weaker.
and the instinct of sympathy stronger
than with men. 1t has been only rs
women saw, or thought they saw, that
they could use the suffrage for the ben.
eiit OF those whom they loved better
than themselves, that they have come
to desire it in great numbers. We mag
rejoice in the fact or lament 1t, accord.
ing to our respective points of view,
but there is no doubt that where the
cry For sclf-protection' will rally
one woman to the cause of woman suf-
frage. the cry For home protection"
will rally twenty. This is proof enough
that selhshness on the part Of women
does not lie at the bottom of their d..
mand for the suffrage.
1t is not easy TO see why woman suf.
frage should destroy the home. or lead
to the alarming moral consequences
that Mrs. Corbin predicts There is
no logical connection between univer-
sal suffrage and universal immortality
II will hardly be claimed that women
at present have more lax notions than
men in regard to the obligations II
social purity. Indeed. "Ouida" and
other advocates of loose theories OF
pose woman suffrage on the very
ground that women would punish
otfenses against the home with too
great severity. II women were allow
ed TO vote tomorrow. the majority of
them certainly would not vote for "the
abrogaticn of marriage and paternal
responsibility. is there any thing in
deeper study Of political economy to
m:~s them favor such views? On tho
contrary, in the opinion of most of u.s.
wider knowledge would simply rein
force woman's instructive horror of
impurity with reasons and arguments
of the weighticst character. 1t is not
from equal rights and broader edu-
cation that immortality is likely TO re-
suit, but rather from ignorance and
frivolity and an unequaled standard
of morals for men and women.
To say that woman suffrage will sub
vert 1.-THE home, the church and the
State" is to imply that these institu-
tions are all based upon the absolute
authority of one sex over the other, as
their cornerstone. The advocates Of
woman suffrage believe, on the other
hand, that this absolute authority is
incompatible with the perfect develop
ment either of the home, the church,
or the State; of the State. because
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" and
the only known method of giving po-
litical consent is by the ballot; of the
