What harm is there then, in visiting the movies?
Are the eyes injured? Is the health OF the patrons

them?
The answer to all of these queries emphatic No,
Just as the oldage playhouse gradually eliminated all

of magazines have come to understand that the reading

PROFIT IN TURKEYS

A good many people have tackled
turkey raising with enthusiasm and
then abandoned it in disgust, as un-
profitable. Most of them say that
the coast climate is not suited to
rearing them successfully. There
are some difficulties to overcome, but
it can be done and the secret is an
open one, as the following letter
shows:
To the Rural Spirit We have no
ticed articles in your paper from
time to time about turkey raising,
and thought your readers would be
interested in our experience during
I1913.
In the spring our starting stock
consisted in one fine, large tom and
five hens. From the matings we
raised eighty-six turkeys. They had
the best of care and were fed from
the time they were hatched until
they were ready for market.
Our returns from these turkeys
were 1903, sold at market prices. Our
last shipment of thirty-one netted us
$40. They were sold to a market
in Portland for 25c. per pound. The
manager of the market said of these
birds:
~ have been in business for
twenty years and this is the best
bunch of turkeys that have ever come
into Portland.
1t has been proven to us that if
you wish the best results, good care
and plenty of feed are necessary.
