Chicken Instead of Turkey This Year.

Chanticleer and his harem are
occupying a lot of attention these
days.
Folks anticipating Thanksgiving
and Christmas are able to pro-
nounCe chick en-" with the same
mouth watering accent of the old
time southern darkies. For it's go
ing to be chicken instead of tur-
key in a vast majority of homes.
The king of barnyard fowl has
been forced into a class all by him
self highly respected and not TO
be considered by pa" intimidat-
ingly enticing to ma" and a for
lorn hope with John and Mary.
Somehow the thought of turkey
for Thanksgiving seems INSOFAR
able, but the bronze of his chest
has taken on a brighter hue one
more. golden.
Someone mentioned Thanksgiv-
ing and two months before the big
day turkeys jumped two and three
cents a pound all over the country.
That was early in October and
prices have been steadily increasing.
One dealer estimates turkeys will
be as high as forty cents a pound
during the holidays and very pos
sibly higher.
That's where the old barnyard
rooster sees his finish. Chickens
are going to be much cheaper than
any other fowl. The present mar
ket price for chickens is below other
fowl and although they may adj
vance shortly there will be a good
ly supply at fairly reasonable
prices.
Urging economy, councils of de
fense throughout the state are max
ing the chicken appear as palatable
as the breast of a Chinese pheasant.
Quail isn't in it. The cock and his
brood will grace more Thanksgiv-
ing dinner tables than ever before,
is the official view.
And-speaking of the Thanks
giving dinners that are to be or
not to be, the 'trimin 5" are go
ing to be somewhat shy WisCon-
sin 5 cranberry crop this year is es-
timated about two-thirds that of
last year. Last year crop was not
up to normal and therefore it is be-
lieved this years crop is about SO
per cent Of normal. Although the
quality of the Badger 1917 crop is
excellent, prices will be consider
ably advanced.
L. p. Arpin, one of Wisconsin 5
leading growers recently estimated
the entire crop of the United States
for 1917 will amount to only about
28O, 900 barrels as against 545 900
last year
