but even there, a number OF years ago,
the art was In danger OF being lost
through careless handling Of breeding
stock. other states may claim the title
Of cradle OF liberty and the birthplace

for 81 was Rhode Island that fostered the
breeding OF these birds at q time when
other states we're paying them scant at
tention.
A Profit-PrOducing Bird.
TOO few poultry producers realize that
the turkey stands at the very top OF the
list OF profit-producing birds. The fact
that turkeys will, from the time they
are six weeks old until winter sets in,
gain the greater part OF their living from
bugs, grasshoppers and waste grain that
they pick up in their wandering over the
range, assures their existence through
this period at little or no cost to the
grower In other words. they may be
termed self-sustaining foragers, desiring
only sufficient range in order to fatten
and grow strong.
Comparatively few persons, particu-
methods in general use. The most popu-
with the methods employed In killing
q turkey. On farms where turkey raising
has become a fine art there are two
lar Of these Is to suspend the fowl by the
shanks. head down. and cut or stick II
in the roof Of the mouth with knife
made especially for this purpose. This
sewers the arteries and outs into the
brain, causing insensiblllty and a free
flow OF blood from the mouth.
The other plan is to break the neck
by a quick jerk or twist backward. When
the neck is completely disjolnted the head
is pulled away so as to form an open
space in the neck. where the blood may
settle. This plan as been but little fol-
lowed, though the claim has been made
that when so killed fowls keep longer,
because there is no opening by which air
can get into the body. as there Is when
they are stuck in the roof OF the mouth.
This method has been more used for
chickens than for turkeys, and to prac-
tice It on the larger fowls requires con-
siderable dexterlty.
Then OF course, there lie the old-fash-
toned method of beheading the bird with
an axe or Ratchet, which has been in use
for many years and is still the rule on
farms that are not quite up TO date.
But. after all. It Is the turkey itself
that matters most. Select a compare
lively young bird, within the one-year
limit, well fleshed. tender as to skin and
wlshbone, cook It WE'LL stuff 1t TO taste,
and there will be little left to wish for
after your Christmas dinner"

THE growing of turkeys appears to
have improved as a result of a deter
mined effort on the part Of producers Of
what is known as 'standard-bred' or 'ex-
hibition' stock to demonstrate that It is
more profitable to use pure breeding
stock than the smaller and less vigorous
stock of days gone by. II is due to
those efforts that the turkey-growing In
dustry of the country has benefited so
materially during the last three decades,
for the consumer can now purchase a
far finer bird on the open market than
he could have secured from a poultry
faneier twenty years ago.
This movement on the part OF turkey
growers has also supplied new, rich,
vigorous blood throughout the whole
country. adding strength, and thereby
building up the stock which had become
deteriorated through the carelessness OF
producers themselves. Throughout the
country the attention OF turkey growers
has been called TO the successful produc-
ton Of market turkeys In the state OF
Rhode Island. Unquesttonably some OF
the best market turkeys produced in the
