TURKEY HELD IT'S OWN. !

TURKEY HELD IT'S OWN.
The public is not always wise. By
the public we mean most everybody
on occasion. Years ago. over quar-
ter Of century, the Farmers Home
Journal. in a conservative way,
sought to induce its lay readers-the
"lay" having no reference to hens
to improve the common turkeys Of
the farm yard by the introduction of
the Mammoth Bronze into the fiocks.
AS the enthusiasm would sometimes
rise to glow the public shook its
ponderous finger in remonstrance.
Sometimes, because Bronze turkey
eggs were advertised as high as $500
to $500 per sitting, the public. still
nervonsly sitting on its clutches OF
caution and brooding7-its matches OF
doubt, would croak out its warning
cry-"Why. you will soon overdo the
thing!" Next year you won't be able
to give turkey eggs away ETC., etc.
Believing though that good thing
will do to stand by. this paper pur-
sued the even tenor Of its way, ask
ing its readers to adopt what is good
in the way of improved stock and
let the future decide the issue.
So now, and all through the inter
vening years there has been steady
demand for Bronze turkeys and their
eggs for Matching. The prices have
not fallen but rather increased for
the better strains OF pure stock.
The same may be said of Plymouth
Rock. Light Brahma, Leghorn and
some Of the other standard breeds of
fowsl.
So the public is not always safe
guide, though, as rule. we should adj
wise the reader to heed les siren voice.

We read in your issue of May 26sh that the charter of the Stafford
 Springs electric railway expires in November, 1910, but VIC find in look ing over the records that the charter expired in July, 1909, and In place of being renewed by She legislature of 1909, as most of the charters Go build electric railways are, we find that a new charter was granted to the Tol- land County Street Railway company to build to the Massachusetts state line, the inOorporatoFs of which are Thomas Noone of Rockville, H. S.. Abel and F. F. Patten of Stafford Springs. This seems to tie up the matter for four years, but fortunately two of the incospoFators are Stafford Springs gentlemen, and no doubt if they do not Intend Co use She charter they will bs willing to turn it over to Stafford men who have the promise from another company to build if they can have the charter.
