Turkeus abundant. who
make turkey Matching and raising a
| business report their success as most
| gratifying for this year, and there is
every reason to believe the product
will be immense and the size of tur-
KEYS enormous. The improvements in
breeds of this fowl have been quite
marked in late years, SO that those
now raised are finer in flesh, larger in
size and more delicious in flavor than
were the old, unimprOved varieties.
This shows what can be done by care
full attention in foul raising, and there
is no doubt that the biggest and fattest
of such luxuries ever served at Thanks
giving and Christmas dinners will be
dished on dining tables this year.
