years, and l will say that rs a practical
farm bird they have no equal in any
turkeys that l have ever raised, says a
writer in Michigan Farmer. The rich
buff does not show dirt as white does,
and they are a larger bird than the
White Holland; are just as easy to
raise, and do not stay around the barn
SO close that they do not thrive unless
fed all summer, but are between the
bronze and White Holland. Never go
to the neighbors. but still get a good
living in the fields.
Then the bronze are SO fond Of roam
ing; you never know where the hen is.
She lays all over the farm, and visits
the farmers all around. And in regard
to extra size. l will say that by Christ
mas my bluffs will weigh as much as
