its merit:

itching continued il is much easier TO

came to my notice and exhausted my

FATTENING TURKEYS.
Some Hints for Preparing the Birds
for the Market-What to
Feed Them.

When selling dressed poultry, it al
ways pays to have as plump, nice
looking carcasses as can possibly be
obtained. The producer thus not only
obtains higher prices, but his reputa-
ton is enhanced and his market made
surer for future years. Turkeys are
no exception to the rule. And by
shutting them up and feeding them
properly, the poorest specimens may
be brought into fine condition Tor
marketing in a month or two. Some
have found that barley meal and corn
meal, mixed half and half, is most
excellent ration for fattening fowls,
especially if it be fed fresh at each
meal, with no more given than the
turkeys will eat up clean. 1t is the
opinion of the writer, however, that
more variety is better. Accordingly,
he would suggest that boiled potatoes,
mashed and mixed with meal, with
some SKINNED milk added, be fed
moderately warm and to substitute for
the lack of insects, have some kind OF
animal food, of which nothing is
cheaper or more desirable than butch
ers' scraps, stirred into it. At least
once a day good sound corn one year
old. should also be given: new corn is
too loosening to be used. No more OF
this than of the mash, however, should
be thrown out than the birds can be
induced to eat up clean and that their
flesh may look bright and present a
neat appearance, they should have all
the water they want to drink. Tur-
keys that have got their growth and
are in fair condition, may be fattened
for market in a few weeks if they are
confined and well fed and watered
every day.-Agricultura Epitomist.
