ID. Lands of Indiana, who has been
making some experiments In turkey

Representative lands bought a few
pairs of bronze turkeys, paying a big
price for them, spent a lot of money In
turkey house, with all the comforts
of turkey home, heated rooms for the
expected chicks, ETC., and laid in stock
OF literature on how to get rich on tur
key raising.
AT the outset one of the finest hens
became dissatisfied with the luxuries of
home and finding the trammels of the
modern method distasteful made off fo-
the woods. The other hens stayed at
home, however, and in due time
brought out five broods of fifteen or so,
fine little chicks. They were being ten
Derby reared but one day escaped and
went into wheat field for change Of

they caught cold and every young
turkey died. Turkev-raiser lands was
over his loss and while
be was bewailing the fate of the young
brood, in stalked the insurgent turkey

tanned. In no department connected
with the farm is there more need for
absolute data than in the dairy. While
village merchants and grocers, for ex-
ample average about alike in their
knowledge Of their businesses, their
prices and profits being nearly equal,
the records show that there are pro-
gressive and unprogressive dairymen,
one making q good profit while his
next door neighbor with the same soil
and market may be losing money. The
difference in their profits therefore
must be accounted for largely by the
difference in the intelligence put into
their business. Experts of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture believe that one
fourth of the cows in the entire coun-
try kept for milk do not pay for the
cost of keeping and nearly one-fourth
more fail to yield an annual profit. The
object or the book issued by the Bureau
is to show dairymen the Importance of
keeping records complete enough so
that 1t will be possible to avoid the
handling of improbable animals and
% bring the dairy industry of the coun-
.ry up to a paying basis.
