TURKEYS ON THE FARM.
There Is Money In Them If You Can
Provide the Proper Conditions.

There Is Money In Them If You Can
Provide the Proper Conditions.
l never have recommended that
farmer should make speciality of any
line of poultry farming, but as the tur-
key seems to thrive under all climate
conditions, be 1t either warm or cold
season, and rs all farms just TEEN
with insect life, the most natural,
healthful food a young turkey can have,
why should not every farmer avail him
self Of this by doing away with all
prejudices and keeping more turkeys?
writes g. -. Matteson in the Milwaukee
Sentinel. We put the fowls on the
farm to take up the waste or scattered
grain that is always more or less at
tendant around the pace.
Now, we should keep turkeys for the
same purpose, though instead of taking
UP their living around the building it
should be out on the range, compelling
them to exist largely from the accumu-
lations on this range. BY this practice
your crops are better for not having
the bugs to destroy them, and at the
same time you have nice crop Of tur-
keys to sell at Thanksgiving time that
has cost you scarcely anything.
When I first started my little place
In Pewaukee, did not intend raising
q turkey, for experience had taught me
that 1t needed more than a ten acre
plot Of land to grow turkeys ON, but
the opportunity was afforded me in this
way: Nearly section of land adjoining
mine being owned by an old gentleman.
who, not feeling able to farm 1t himself,
had rented 1t piecemeal until he could
rent 1t no longer, owing to its fertility
being completely sapped out leaving
the entire tract barren plain, and yet
splendid place to raise turkeys, 1
Rvailed myself of this opportunity.
SpWe years sold as high as $500 worth
OF turkeys.
! The past two years have been the
worst ever experienced In growing
turkeys. / believe and know that q
young turkey, IL from good, strong par
entage. con stand just as much cold
and wet as chick or duckling, but
the past two seasons were away above
tho ordinary. Instead Of thunder
storms we had cloudbursts, and in con-
sequence the turkey crop was very
short. bringing the market price away
up I'm the twenties, 80 that turkeys
were luxury on the tables last
Thanksgiving.
But would not advise any one to
give up raising them just because one
or two seasons have been against them.
The farmer has he'd pretty hard time
trying tU mature full crop Of corn for
fha naEt two aeaeona Iaat vaor ryoa
also very bad on the potato crop. We'll,
1t does not follow that they are going
70 quit raising corn and potatoes.
