October. writes a New York CORE
spondent of the National Stockman.
Whole corn constitutes the only fatten-

turkeys are never confined. They will
fret and pine and lose flesh ii confined,
while they fatten up quickly If allowed
to roam at will and have access to good
bright corn. Beginning about three
weeks before Thanksgiving they are
given all the corn they will eat.
Turkey growers are divided In Opin-

the birds or sell them alive to buyers.
The common price paid for live turkeys
is 1S cents per pound. The best ones
dressed bring from 26 cents to % cents
per pound and for several years have
not been below 90 cents.
The Thanksgiving market calls for
prime birds of different sizes. \ few
old toms dressing twenty-five pounds
or more can be used, but mixed hens
