II n man Is a successful fisherman
he will make good at raising tur'
keys: but IL H. has not the patience
to sit ON log and watch cork bob
bling on the surface of the creek all
day long and be- content with dozen |
bites and couple Of bullhcads for |
his pains. then he has no business try. |
ing to raise turkeys,
Women are almost invariably sue. |
ccssfui az turkey .ralscrs. because they |
possess the necessary patience and |
fidelity TO the job. II young turkeys |
are neglected they will die. II the
mother turkey is conspicuously fol- |
lowed while seeking the nest, or dis
turbcd after she has commenced lay.
Ing. she Is likely to leave half her
clutch and refuse TO lay another.
The woman. however. who can com.
mand large range FOR her birds. and
who IL determined to make money In
the business. will find turkcy.raising a
most profitable part OF the poultry
business. with tho possible exception
OF selling pure.bred eggs for Matching
purposes. The latter requires n great
deal OF skill. which can be obtained
only by long experience. not only In
the production Of eggs. but In mar
kcting them as well.

The bronze non cross produced
poults resembling the Bronze, with the
lighter yellow In their tall feathers.
The poults from these crosses grew
very quickly, and are extremely hardy.
dali wild gobblers are easily tanned.
A quarter wild cross 10 better for
practical breeding than Q pure wild.
or a half wild bird. a. the more wild
blood there 10 In q bird. the more
difiicult II II to restrain them and
raise them In confinement. II first
crosses are bred together. the stock
resembles the pure wild. even to tho
red legs. and after several genera
lions can hardly be distinguished.
Owing to the wild nature Of the tur.
key Il cannot be raised as chickens
are. Many professional turkey rails
ers use chicken hens for Matching,
placing seven or eight eggs under each
hen. Matching with incubators some,
times proves successful, but It Ia bet
ter to let the turkey hens hatch their
own eggs where this is possible.
A laying room should be secluded
