MAKING PROFIT IN TURKEYS
Demand is Always Greater Than Sup
ply and Prices Are Invariably
Good-Eat Many Insects.

The wild turkey in advance of the
white man had a congenial home in
almost all parts of the United States.
Domestic turkeys are the descendants,
more or less direct, of the wild ones.
Therefore, since the United States
was the original home of the wild
turkeys, 1t is clearly adapted to the
growing of the domesticated ones.
And no more profitable fowl can be
grown on the interior farms, says tho
Up-to-Date Farming. The demand is
always greater than the supply, the
market is not cornered as is that of
most other farm products, and prices
are almost invariably good.
We suppose principal reason that
more turkeys are not raised is dread
farmers have of their wild character
istics. Some varieties retain the wild
nature to a greater degree than others,
but 1t Is q fact also that those which
have most of the wild nature are the
hardest fowls. And this is q quail
ity that need not discourage the grow

ers. The Bronze retains as much of
the wild nature as any other variety,
perhaps, and we have had a great
deal of experience with that breed OF
turkeys. They are very likely to wan
der and they will seek remote places
for their nests, but after all they are
quite domestic fowl, and can easily
be kept in love with their home and
prompt to return to 1t at night They
will learn to 60 where they can find
feed. A neighbours wheat field in sum-
mer. or corn shocks in autumn may
win them If feed is scarce in the fields
at home but If they have ready feeds
at morning and night, they are not SO
apt to stray from the home grounds;
and II they have suitable roosting
place where they are not disturbed
at night, they are very likely to re-
turn to it every evening.
And the farm that supports flock
of turkeys will not support so many
grasshoppers and other insects as will
the farm that has no turkeys Many
times have we been in the fields with
the turkeys and watched them catch
these pests. We have seen them take
their places in a row as regularly as
men could place them, and thus march
across a pasture or freshly harvested
meadow or wheat or oat field, and
the grasshopper or other insect that
rose before them was sure "goner."
We believe turkeys may thus benefit
a farm to the full value of what 1t
costs to raise them. Besides they are
making of this worthless raw materi-
al valuable market commodity.
