BRONZE TURKEY LARGEST
OF STANDARD VARIETIES
Thought Originated Cross Of Wild Bird OF
the North and Demonstrated Fowl
Very Hardy

The bronze turkey is the largest Of
all the six standard varieties, and,
therefore, holds the place of honor.
1t Is said to have originated from a
cross between the wild turkey of the
north and our domesticated turkey.
Its beautiful rich plumage and size
have come from it's wild progenitoIs,
says the Poultry Tribune.
Audubon has recorded the coming
of the wild turkeys into the barn
yard. where they paired with his do
mesticated turkeys. His description
of the wild turkey is almost exactly
like our bronze turkey of today. He
remarks about the brilliant copper
bronze Of the plumage and compares
them in color with those of the pea
cock.
New crosses, which increase and
strengthen vitality and intensity the
beauty Of the bird. are still being
made. The color of the bronze tur-
key Is a ground of black blazoned
or shaded with bronze. This shading
is rich and glowing, and when the
suns rays are reflected from these
colors they shine like polished steel.
The color of the female is not so
rich as the male, but both have the
same color and shading. Through in
breeding much of this richness Of

A little more Hessian fly than usual

years and its parasites may therefore
be presumed to be somewhat scarce,

the first two weeks of October. BY
