a Breeders Experience With Turkeys
The question of how to begin In pure
pred turkey culture, and how many
should the new beginner keep, is AZ,
important one.
The Standard recognizes six distinct
breeds-the Bronze, Nalagansett, Buff
state. White and Black The beginner
IS supposed to have made n choice OF
some one of these breeds. and as thi
IS 70 be the foundation upon Which ia
build a family of fowls, or strain;
as 1t We're, let us make as an intelli
gent beginning as possible; TO. those
OF Today, who are breeding fowls of any
KIND lntelligent1y and scientifically. are
those who have first -class exhibition
pirdS for sale, and are making a sue
cess of 1T.
- - AioI q uilliculls !lldllefs IOQay, to
secure proper material upon which to
ouild this foundation and we should
6elect the very best at our command.
The male bird should be our first
considerations; he should be as nearly
perfect representation of the breed
we are Intending to keep, as possible.
Every point i'm 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 In your advertising, you Will find
your inquiries are looking for this one
special point. However in your eager
ness TO obtain size, proper color should
not be overlooked in this male, as tho
offspring derive their color largely from
the sire In selecting the females let
them be as nearly the same type as the
Hales and every point should be as
carefully considered. The male and
females should be selected from DIFF
ferent f1ocks.
Our advice to the new beginner who
mas had no experience in turkey Gull
ture whatever, is, that a trio would be
enough to begin with. Often a person
with two hens, raises more turkeys
by giving the points good care and
careful attention than others who have
six or more and being little negligent
In the care OF the points. Our first ex-
perience was with trio from which
we raised forty-five 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 little exorbttant but IL they
can find first what they are looking for,
they can we'll afford to pay a reason-
able price, or IL one does not feel finan-
c1ally able to secure a first class trio. ii
IS little slower, but Just as sure per-
haps to obtain setting of eggs from
some responsible breeder, which will
give start In pure bred stock. If one
is fortunate enough to raise four or
live 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 unmatured
birds does not give best results. OBJ
eervations are. that strong healthy, we'll
matured breeding stock is quite essen
tidl 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 or three years old, but their off
spring will never be as large nor as
