TURKEY PROFITS LARGE.

No other kind of domestic
poultry has come into such gen.
eral use throughout the eitire
world for Thanksgiving and holi-
day feasts as the turkey, and no
other class of poultry commands
such high prices as they do.
In them stand good show for
the wives to make their pin
money, and | know some women
who make more off their turkeys
than their husbands do off the
rest of the stock on the farm.
AS a general thing last spring
was a poor year with turkeys, as
they did not do well. Although
we have no complaint to make,
as we had good success with our,

and the care in feeding and
coping, as we keep them in
good, warm coops on cold, damp
nights when little.
Many of my neighbors raise

Hollands, some the Bourbon
Reds. But from among them all

birds to be good layers, produc-
ing from twenty 10 thirty-five
eggs at a laying, and if not al
lowed to set will lay several lay

These birds are large and
weigh heavily. They are good
mothers, as they are tame, COM
ing up and eating out of one'h
hand.
These. birds are of a red
brown, with brown wings, the
feathers on the back and breast
flecked with bronze. They make
the best dressed fowls to be
found any place, as they are
plump, their meat being juicy
and tender.
The three main rules in select
ing turkeys to breed are:
First-Select good breed.
Second-Hens for breeding
should be strong, healthy and
vigorous and of good medium
size. In no instance select the
smaller ones. Do not strive to
have them unnaturally large.
Third-Secure a tom in the
fall, so as to be assured of his
health and vigor prior to the
breeding season.

care and keeping, will help you
