Turkey Profits.

The value of the turkey as a bird of
commerce has been strikingly demon
strated by William Roser of Glenn
county, Cal. Mr.. Roser went to Glenn
county about IL years ago, and at that
time his fortune consisted of just $3.50.
OF this amount he invested $50 or $50
in turkeys, and since then he has reg
ularly devoted considerable attention
to the Thanksgiving fowl. Last year
he sold $500 worth of turkeys and had
GO left. Mr.. Roser has place worth
$500, and he has 25 head of cattle.
He has made the bulk of this money
and property from raising turkeys. rails
Ing 400 or 500 every year on an aver
age. In turkey raising the turkeys are
herded like sheep. After sheep have
been over the land in the hills. and II

Food Value of Eaas.

The food value of hens eggs is set
forth in compilation prepared under
DR.. True of the department OF agrlcul-
ture. Eggs belong to the heterogeneous
group OF foods and should, like lean
meat. be eaten in combination with
starchy or sugary foods, such as cere-
ais, potatoes, etc. In brief, the con-
clusions of the departments egg inves-
tigation are that there is no practical
difference in the food value Of eggs O.
different breeds or different colored
shells. that both as regards nutridye
qualities and digestibility the egg sus-
tains its generally good reputation that
compared with other foods at the usual
prices, eggs at ~ cents dozen are
very cheap food, at 16 cents they are
slightly expensive, while at 20 cents a
dozen or two cents apiece they are a
very expensive food.

The Poultry Industry.

For the past two years the supply of
poultry and eggs has been unusually
small, not nearly enough to supply the
ever increasing demand, making a
steady increase in the average prices of
these products over any previous years
In the history Of the poultry industry.
Last year considerable complaint was
made Of poor hatches, as the eggs
proved to be more than the usual per-
centage infertile SO far this season
the reports that We have received show
a much lrrger per cent of fertile eggs.
with better matches and stronger
chicks, which Is certainly very en-
couraging outlook to breeders. AL
though there Is every indication Of a
good supply of poultry for the fall and
winter trade, the business cannot be
outdone. as the demand is increasing.

LOVES LABOR LOST

MARRY in haste and repent at
