The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1915-12-24

That is some turk. and a grand big
Howl to put ones teeth in. They were
spring birds, too, and they accumulat-
ed weight because Mr.. Carter knows
how to coax flesh on that description
of fowl. The turkeys were of the Mann
moth Bronze breed, and the success
That Mr.. Carter has met with would in
dictate that those are the kind of tur-
keys to raise for tie market in this
country.
ID. II. Mailer, proprietor of the Rock
island nurseries, Wenatchee, has been
interviewing the land owners in this
vicinity during the past week. AS an
old timer Mr.. Moher is entitled to
place near the head of the class. He
| located on Snake river in the early
lOs, and for 20 years lived on one
place, putting the earliest fruits into
the Spokane market. What he does not
know about fruit trees, wisdom which
he has stacked up through long years
of practical experience, is not worth
bothering about He was not trying to
do much business ON the trip, for
with foot or two of snow on the
ground, with more arriving about ev-
| cry day, people were not figuring much
on tree planting.
J Say; it is real pleasure to have
! steam neal IN a building after striving
to heat up a large floor space by
means of stove. Thai is What the
| Gazette now enjoys and winter is rob-
bed of some of it's discomforts. Sammy
Sanderson has completed the installa-
| ton of the steam heating plant in the
Covert block, and has made an excel
| eat Job of it. There is an equitable dis
| II button of warmth all over the large
premises the Gazette occupies, and il
IS no longer necessary to hug a red hot
| s'oNe in order to thaw out, al hough
| tho habit has become so fixed that the
l!2embers of the force every once in q
While find thmselves backing VI to
he stove. Drop in any cold day aid
absorb some of or steam heat. You
are welcome to it as the flowers in
May.
During the Thanksgiving season
Fred Hart & Co.., local meat dealers,
purchased beteen four hundred and
five hundred turkeys and shipped out
all that was not required for the home
! trade. During the Christmas holidays
| they will purchase and dispose of an
other large lot of these toothsome
birds The price paid was Is and 10
| cents per pound, and the total amount
paid out ran up into a considerable
sum. The turkeys brought into market
this year were exceptionally choice
birds, and proved quite an addition to
the income of those engaged in rails
ing them. In another year, with the
city markets within easy reach both
to the east and west, turkey raising
can be made a source of considerable
profit to the farmers of the valley and
Surrounding neighborhood.
