TURKEY GROWING.

wise Hlnts From Willet Randall In
rar,m JourmaI or philadelphia
The turkey business is one OF the
foremost branches Of the poultry IN
dustry, and the prices paid for nrst
class stock this year are better and the
demand is greater than for some years.
The problem that confronts the be
ginner Is that turkeys are hard TO
raise. 'Tis true there are obstacles TO
overcome, but such is the case in all
branches Of poultry culture.
A start can be made with a few
birds and the flock increased as means
and experience will permit. Secure a
trio for beginning This is good
time to buy Do not wait until spring;
the chances for good birds are better
now than they will be next April.
The holiday trade In all the leading
cities was large. larger than ever be
fore. and it was hard work to get
enough birds to supply the demand.
In consequence very few birds went
into cold storage.
Some are asking why high prices
prevail more Of late than was the Gus
tom In past years. to which ! can give
but one reason-increased consump-
ton.
In many localities turkeys are not
raised so extensively as they were
three or four years ago. Some gave
up the work on account OF seasons
failure. Disease in the flock drove 9TH
ers out of business.
Before you sell your stock pick out
the best for your own breeding, then
get rid Of the rest. Don't be like Pc
ter Tumbledown He always gets rid
OF his choicest fowls and keeps the
scrubs for his own breeding.
