birds are able from the time they are six

the greater part Of their entire living
from bugs. grasshoppers and waste grain
that they pick up in their wanderfngs
over the farm. In other words, they are
self-sustaining foragers where they have
sufficient space to roam over. Turkeys
that are Matched in the early spring
should grow to weigh from IA to 20 pounds
by Thanksgiving. These weights are, Of
course, often exceeded by the birds furn-

Its turkeys with the heads on. also the tail
and outer wing feathers
Few turkey raisers sell their product
direct. Most of the birds are disposed OF
by the farmers to jobbers or middIemen,
who make business of handling such
stock and who ship to the various city
markets A large portion Of the turkey
crop that comes to American cities at
Thanksgiving time must OF necessity be
packed In Ice, although experts declare
that turkeys not thus packed are at their
best The men who pack turkeys for ship
ment become marvelously adept In their
work. Mr.. vose. of Rhode Island, who
has for more than one third Of q century
supplied the Thanksgiving turkeys for the
White House at Washington, on one occa-
sion, with the aid of two men, packed and
shipped $4,000 pounds Of turkey.
Next to turkey the chief standby of the
American housewife at Thanksgiving time
is the indispensable cranberry. This ap-
petixing product OF nature Is native to q
narrow belt of country along the Atlantic
coast from Maine to New Jersey and In
isolated areas along the Allegheny Noun
tains from Southern Pennsylvania to
North Carolina. The Middle West also
receives d portion OF It's lOli0AY Suppfy OF
cranberries from Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The earliest paintings of the
cranberry were made IN the Cape Cod
region OF Massachusetts during the nrst
quarter OF the nineteenth century and
from this meager start the industry has
grown to its present proportions. when
more than 10000 acres Of cranberries are
under cultivation, producing more than
100000 bushels per year.
The old Bay State still enjoys the dis
tinction OF leading all her sisters IN the
production OF this Thanksgiving deiicacy,
for whereas New Jersey has a cranberry
domain of $3.50 acres. or nearly half az
much again as Massachusetts,. the Jersey
growers harvest each year only
about one-fourth of a million bushels,
whereas the land Of the Pilgrims. with its
smaller area In eranberrfes sends nearly
100000 bushels to the dinner tables Of q
hungry nation. The Massachusetts yield
81 III bushels per acre is exceeded only
