keys do not bring two even three times the
eight cents that Uncle Sans expert has set down
as a figure that will yield profit OF course
the farmer who sell his turkeys direct to
housewives get from % cents per pound up
according to the state of the market and the
quality of the fowl-but even the growers VINO
market through commission merchants, as most
of them do, ought to net from 16 to 20 cents per
pound, providing the sales agent is not allowed
to pocket more than his share of the sales price
Of course for the grower to net 20 or "a cents d
pound, it is necessary to have the choice, special
ly fattened turkeys that bring top-notch prices
in the markets catering to the wealthy class IN
the large cities.
Recent years have witnessed a change In the
methods of shipping turkeys to market. Many
fowl are yet hauled to town as in days of old, in
the farmers wagon, but the largest share or the
turkeys for city markets now shipped by ex
press Just at Thanksgiving time when turkeys
coming to market in carload lots many OF
the birds make the journey by fast freight but
under such conditions man must be sent along
with each load to feed the birds, so that IN
the end it is likely to be just as cheap to send
the birds by express, the transit thus being ac
complished in a. few hours and no feeding en-
route being necessary To carry out the present
day policy of haste in transferring the turkeys
from the farms to the dinner tables of the folk
in towns and cities, we find special automobile
trucks waiting at the railroad stations to receive
the Grated birds as they are unloaded from the
cars, and these motors rush the turkeys without
loss of time to the commission houses, hotels or
other destinations. few years ago car load
of live turkeys was shipment of such unusual
size as to cause comment. Nowadays such
signments are handled by the hundreds at
Thanksgiving time, and a load of live tur-
keys was. on one occasion, sent from New York
to San Francisco the rental of the special car for
this journey amounting to $40. In Chicago there
are dealers who receive dozen car loads of tur-
keys day at Thanksgiving time and as many as
$4,000 birds have been received in that city in
day at the height of the rush to stock larders
for Thanksgiving.

fatten in prime condition. Such weather condi-
tons also tighten the cares of the farmer who
does not devote his entire attention to turkeys,
and who usually has many other responsible
ties that he is mighty glad when the turkeys can
shift for themselves-to say nothing of the bene-
fit to his pocketbook. These farmers anG. poul-
try ra1sers, it may be added are about the only
classes in national community who never
need give thought to bird for the home table
on Thanksgiving. There is always some sort OF
turkey for the gathering round the festive board
at the homestead. We may digress for moment.
too, to add that in late years there has come
great change in sentiment the part of many
of the farmers to the Thanksgiving turkeys
for their own tables In days gone by there
was often disposition to regard almost any old
gobbler sufficient for the home folks All the
choice birds were sent to market, because they
would bring the best prices, and the farmer and
his household not infrequently had to put up
with the leavings, it were. Latterly. however,
as greater prosperity has come to so many Of
the farmers there is a growing disposition to re-
gard the best none too good for the kings of
the soil, apd this applies to turkeys to every
thing else Consequently it is usual for the
progressive farmer to retain of his tenderest
birds for the kith and kin that break bread with
him Thanksgiving and not infreQuently the
chosen bird has been singled out from the others
long in advance and is specially fattened in &C.
cordance with the tastes Of the family.
There has been much discussion on the part OF
the public in recent years regarding the compare
tive scarcity of small turkeys-that is six to eight
pound birds-in the Thanksgiving market. There
Is difficulty In fixing the responsibility for this
disappearance Of the small turkeys 1t is due to
the growing tendency among turkey raisers to
devote their best efforts to the bronze" variety
of fowl-the largest variety of the bird. The
lure of the American love of bigness has made
itself felt in the turkey realm, and the so to So
pound birds which have attracted so much atten-
ton at fashionable hotels and on banquet boards
have come to be regarded as the most desirable
specimens of that fowl which becomes for
day each year our national bird.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1911-11-24

1t must be admitted, however, that the bronze
variety of turkey not only holds the post of honor
because of it's size and its rich plumage but also,
in the estimation of many epicures because of it's
flavor well. There is doubt that the size of
the bronze variety-its standard weight ranges
from 16 to 36 pounds-is to be attributed to the
fact that the birds of this family originated from
a cross between the wild and the tame turkey.
For that matter, the wild turkey of North Amer
lea was the ancestor of all presentday do
nestle turkeys, but the crosses which have
been made in the of the bronze variety have
been particularly fortunate in inducing mammoth
size. However, one of the officials of the depart
ment of agriculture recently declared that the
bronze turkey had been developed too much in
the direction of size, and if he convert the
turkey raisers to his way of thinking we may
years hence of smaller bronze
turkeys of finer flavor than those regarding
which such enthusiasm has been manifested by
lovers of the good things of life
OF course the vaunted bronze variety is not the
whole thing in turkeydom, for there are six other
standard varieties, the branches of the family in
addition to the bronze, being, the Narragansett,
the buff, the slate, the white and the black.
Many people who think that we have been
joying pretty appetizing turkey from time out Of
mind may be surprised to learn that the prestige
of the turkey article of food seriously
threatened few years ago through carelessness
and lack of foresight in breeding methods. Not
much was said about it, except in the poultry
papers and at the conventions of poultry raisers,
but the menace sufficient to the more
progressive turkey rasers with the result that
they mended their ways, put ban inbreed-
ing and went in for the purebred standard
bred turkey, with the welcome outcome that rich,
new, vigorous blood made its influence felt In
infusng strength and vigor in turkey focks all
over the country
In the case of growers who have had the bene-
fit of enough experience to qualify them for the
work. turkey raising is. under favorable condi-
tons, highly profitable occupation. No other

keys constitute the most profitable class of poul-
try if properly handled. AS a matter of fact
from the time the turkey is six weeks old he
virtually makes his own livelihood, wandering
around and eating bugs, grasshoppers. waste
grain and other eatables that if not actual pest
are useless to the farmers. To be sure some OF
the fancy turkey raisers credited with fatten-
ing their Thanksgiving offerings milk ana
chestnuts and other deicacies, but they get for
such fancy fowl prices sufficiently higher than the
regular quotation to recompense them for their
trouble.
An expert who recently made an investigation
of the turkey raising industry on behalf OF the
United States government declares that turkeys
can, if grown in favorable locality, be made to
return profit to the growers if sold as low as
eight cents per pound live weight, whereas II
they bring three four cents per pound above
that figure as they usually do the turkey grower
should feel we'll satisfied with his occupation

was, however, endowed with only

had almost crushed it when the pow

helped the revolutionists to snatch VIC
tory out of defeat and force the mon
