Turkey Raising On DeeIIne

Despite a steady increase in the
prices producers have received for
turkeys since 1915, production has
steadily decreased, according to fig
ures published by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The aver
age prices received during the four
months, October TO January, lsi5-19l6
vas l5c : pound The average price
received during the corresponding
period in lS2o-2i was 32c n pound.
In 1900 the census figures showed
6.59i ,695 turkeys on farms in the
United States, while in 1910 there
were only 3.sSs ,i0s, and in 1920 there
were 3,627 .o2s.
During the past six years the price
Of turkeys has increased TO the pro-
dueer more than 100 per cent while
during the past twenty years the num-
Der OF turkeys produced has decreased
about 80 per cent, the department
states
Il Is common knowledge that turk
eys are not easily handled for by nature
they are wanderers and they usually
g.xe Considerable concern 10 those
Wsose duty il Is TO keep them on the
horne premises The almost uncon-
querable inclination Of turkeys TO
wander into the fields Of neighbors has
often caused strained feelings and
and many owners Of flocks have aban-
doued the business of raising turkeys
on that account Turkeys are also
seriously afflicted By disease known
as blaekhead which has caused heavy
losses, and in some instances the bus
mess has been given up entirely for
this reason. These causes of loss to-
geiher with the frequent ravages of
Wild animals including dogs and rats,
have all tended 10 discourage devel-
opueEt Of the industry.
The raising Of turkeys may be
very profitable occupation where
there Is an abundance OF range, ample
feed, and reasonable freedom from
pneying animals, the department
states Even for those who have
limited range there are opportunities
for raising few turkeys each year If
proper time and attention are devoted
to it. The department points out how

Guilty appears to arise from an in
visible film. which forms on alumni
mum when exposed to the air.
BY the method mentioned this film
is dissolved off in a bath containing
soluble fuorides. A little free hy-
drofluoric acid appears to act best.
Then a coating of zinc is formed on
the aluminium in plating bath. and
upon this coating copper. silver and
other metals may be deposited.
In order to form gold plating the
zinc covering the aluminium must
first be coated thinly with copper. as
otherwise the gold sinks into the
zinc. and in a few weeks almost dis

of bootleggers. He had no liquor in
his country place, was not permitted
to move any out from his town house
and lightly turned to law violation
to stock his cellar. He bought about
$4,000 worth of WHISTLES. wines and
cordials from the bootleggers and
had it transported to his Long Island
home, paying cash on delivery ac
cording to the agreement. But the
same night his bootleggers turned
burglars. entered the house before
any adequate locks or burglar alarms
had been installed aud stole back
their cargo of liquors. carting ii off
in two large motor trucks. There
was no complaint to the police. for
the wealthy gentleman was himself
guilty of law-breaking and knew it.
He hired private detectives. offered
to pay a second $4,000 for the re-
turn of his drinkables, spent good
deal of money on various investiga-
tions and finally got no satisfaction
beyond ascertaining that his own
bootleggers had robbed him.
Many strange and uncomforta BILE
contretemps have arisen out of this
looting of private cellars. One gem
tleman had invited a large and
thirsty party of guests TO dinner. but
the night before his function his cell
lar was broken Rto and every bottle
carted away.
Another man opened the Chateau
Yquem with a great flourish at din
ner and poured out fine clear water.
He called for another bottle, with
similar results. Investigation show
ed that his butler had opened every
bottle in the wine closet. disposed of
the contents. refilled the bottles and
skillfulIy recorked them. 1t was an
easy coup, for his employer drank
only on festive occasions. No wine
had been served in months.

pa pers that the booze burglars oper-
ate by means of high-povered mo-
tors, racing cars and the like, and I
expect to read next that they are
employing airplanes. The facts of
the cellar-robbing business are much
more commonplace. Nothing is used
except motor trucks of the large,
slow. heavy type, and always COW
cred. The huge. innocent looking
moving van is the favorite vehicle
of the robbers. Capacity. and not
speed, is the desired thing. The bur-
glars find a house, that is accessible.
