twenty pounds are most in demand.
Any weighing less than ten pounds
should be kept and fed until Christmas,
when prices are nearly as good. Every
turkey raiser should study his market
to find what 1t wants and then bend
his energies to supply it if lie would
command top prices.
For shipping use small boxes Of uni
form size. holding about fifteen tur.
keys each. Line the box with white
paper and place same between the
layers of turkeys. For convenience to
the retailer part toms and part hens
are packed in each box with contents
correctly marked on the outside. The
weight Of box or "tare" should also
be plainly marked on each. If old
birds are included that should also be
stated. Thus the retailer knows ex-
actly what he is buying before open
ing It. Honesty in packing will bring
returns in dollars and cents.

The order issued by the State Neter.

State against ruminants, or cud-cbewmg
animals, owing to the prevalence OF
foot and mouth disease, has been con.

and it was learned to-day they are de-

of the state to another point unless the
shipper gets permit from the State
Veterinary Board. Then the carcass
must be encased in burlap which musb
be destroyed at destination.
Railroad officials, at the beginning Of
the hunting season, were not quite clear
in their minds whether the order qua:.
antining the state against the shipment
of ruminants applied to deer, and they
asked the Veterinary Board, receiving
in reply the information that, while no
case of foot and mouth disease had
ever been found among deer, yet in or

best to decline to ship until the ship
per got permission from the State
Board.
This rule has been and VIII be car.
