MONEY in TURKEYS

Glenfield, N. D., Dec. 27-Four cents
a pound premium on more than half q.
ton Of dressed turkeys, Is a reward re-
ceived by M. D. Williams of Glenf1eld
for bringing his birds to maturity and
fattening them before putting them on
the market. Mr.. Williams also re-
ceived the express charges on his tur-
keys to Fargo, where one Of the COM
mission houses gave him. the extra
money to secure the birds for its best
Christmas trade.
Mr.. Williams turkeys were well de-
veloped, and fat, in contrast to the
under-developed, unfattened birds that
have given North Dakota poultry
bad name on the eastern markets and
caused it to be Disseminated against
in price. The flock was put on grain
ration and given shelter after the cold
weather stopped their ranging.
Chickens, as well as turkeys, repay
the poultryman for proper feed and
housing, Mr.. Williams finds; his 20
barred Plymouth Rock hens are pro-
ducing from 18 to "a eggs every day
this winter.
