some very brilliant performers are
produced under the competent tutelage
of Professor StrOhm, who has charge

New York to journey with her husband
in a trackless wilderness. The writing
was done with quill pen in a fine,
delicate hand, and even with the lapse
of years the writing is as clear as cop

interest because it tells in a matter of

pioneers had to endure when winning

I'm that MILL" he said. 1.-The feed for
my 1000 turkeys is ground. The whole
secret of successful turkey raising lies
in abundant feeding. 1t keeps six men
busy to feed my birds.
They are fed five times a day and
each turkey gets as much as he can
hold. Carrots boiled in lard and
crushed barley and milk are very good
fatteners, and the birds stuff them
selves with them. Then. the last thing
before going to roost. they eat all the
oatmeal porridge and buttermilk they
can find room for.
"A cock thee hours before killing is
made to swallow a half pint of vine
gar. This vinegar makes his flesh fine
and tender; without it he would be
coarse and tough.
"A turkey farm like mine pays easily
from $500 to $4,000 a year."
