Turkey RanehInan 10 Tried.

In the foothill region of California,
in some sections of Arizona and other
Western states, turkey ranching" has
become a recognized industry, though
as yet an infant one. Same of these
turkey ranches produce more than
1000 birds year. The ideal situa-
ton for turkey ranching is one where
the natural food of the turkey, such
as grasshoppers and other insects,
green vegetation and seeds, is abun-
dant. A range where aeorns are
abundant is especially suitable. The
turkeys are driven out on the range
each day, like sheep, and back home
at night. They are sometimes herded
by men on horseback, like cattle.
Specially trained dogs also are used.
