A Breeders Experience With Turkeys,
The question of how to begin In pure
bred turkey culture, and how many
should the new beginner keep, Is an
important one.
The Standard recognizes six distinct
breeds-the Bronze, Naragansett, Buff
state. White and Black The beginner
is supposed to have made Il choice OF
some one OF these breeds and as this
is to be the foundation upon which TIC
build Il family of fowls, or strain"
as It were, let us make as an intelli-
gent a beginning as possible; for thosa
OF today who are breeding fowls of any
kind intelligenuy and scientifically, are
those who have lirSt-claSs exhibition
birds Tor sale. ana are making q sue
cess of it.
1t is not Il difficult matter TODAY to
secure proper material upon which to
build this foundation and we should
select the very best at our command.
The male Bird should he our first
consideration; he should be as nearly
perfect representation Of the breed
we are intending to keep, as possible.
Every point in shape, size. color and
markings should be considered. Care
full attention should be given to shape
and size, for after all size in turk eys
seems to be the most Important point;
for III your advertising. YOU will find
your inquiries a"e looking for this one
special point. However in your eager
ness to obtain size, proper color should
not be overlooked in this male. us the
offspring derive their color largely from
the sire. In selecting the females let
them be as nearly the same type as the
males and every point should be as
carefully considered. The male and
females should be selected from diff
ferent tioclis.
Our advice to tie new beginner who
has had no experience in turkey cul-
ture whatever, is. that Il trio would be
enough to begin with Often Il person
with two hens, raises more turkeys
by giving the points good care and
careful attention than others who have
six or more ard being little negligent
in the care Of the points. Our first ex-
we raised forty-iive to maturity We
cannot remember ever doing equally
as we'll with more hens possibly the
price Of trio of turkeys as we have
here described, may seem to the new
beginner Il little cXo"bitant but If they
can find first what they are looking for,
they can we'll afford to pay a reason
able price. or If one does not feel fnan-
cially able to secure 1irSt-claSS trio It
Is little slower, but just as sure per-
hapS to obtain Il setting of eggs from
some responsible breeder, which will
give a start in pure bed stock. If one
is fortunate enough to raise four or
five from this setting, the next year the
best young tom can be reserved the
rest being sold to other breeders, and
hens to mate with this young tom
bought of another flock. We say hens
because we believe a trio of unmatlred
birds does not give best results. Oh
secvations are that strong healthy, well
natured breeding stock is quite essen
tial in successful turkey raising. Year
ling toms of medium weight, mated to
hens not over fat, from two to three
years old, will give more vigorous. larg-
er boned, better marked young stock
than unmatured breeding stock. True
the pullets will lay more eggs than hens
two OF three years old. but their off
spring will never be as large nor as
strong.-Mrs. J. E. Gray in Poultry
Tribune.
