He Is a great forager. Kor centuries the turkey haa been the favorite holiday talde meat and today It i* more in de mand than ever. Care In breeding in essential and some attention must lie paid to such as is provid ed But. on the whole, after the turkey has passed Its youth, it Is pretty well able to care for itself. Ever since 16sr> th* turkey has been recognized as an Ideal table fowl for the Christmas feast. Years afterwards, when a Thanksgiving Hay was pro claimed, II became the center of at traction* for those dinners. The turkey slill retains much of Its wild nature, and Is the last of our poultry to become domesticated. Its natural food is Insects, grass and seeds as found on a range through a rough woodland. The Hhode Island and Con necticut turkey* feast on chestnut*, which Impart a very attractive flavor. There are seven varieties of turkeys, of which the bronze ts the largest anJ most popular, the adult cock bird weighing 36 pounds. The other varle l i foil w In lid* order; Nurragnn sett Bourbon Red, White Holland, Black, Huff and Slate.

They must have range, and t>e taught to come home at night to roost. l'or marketing thev are hied from the month and are then dry tricked, and packed In barrels, with or with out tec. according to the condition of the weather. Com is the great fattening food. Two-thirds com and one-third oats Is also recommended, and an occasioned iced of cornmeal mush is very good.

The bens lay large dark brown eggs of a grade much sought in cer tain localities. Characteristics of Breed. As a rule the females will become broody, sit. hatch and rear chicks, al though there are some strains from which bloodiness has almost bred out and (he average production of eggs greatly increased The chicks are vigorous, strong and active and grow exceptionally fast on range, reaching maturity at from 6 1-2 to 6 1-2 months old. They are readily salable for Mic highest grade of market poultry at all ages from broilers’ size (7 to 8 weeks old) to full maturity, and are very popular in some sections for tr made some years ago, with the lute Horace Vuse, I drove for miles over hills, through woodlands and rough locations in Rhode Island and Connecticut, Inspecting flock after flock of turkeys that were roaming about helping themselves to Nature's food. Along this range are numerous chestnut trees, and Mr. Vose told me that ns tile turkeys ate considerable of these chestnuts a flavor was Im parted to the flesh IJial made the Rhode Island and Connecticut turkeys "different" from any others and no believed It was this fact thnt helped so much to make their product fa mous Seven Varieties of Turkeys. There are seven varieties of turkeys, u/.: The Bronze, Nurragnnsett, White, Black. Buff. Slate and Bourbon. The standard weights of the differ ent varieties are as follows: Bronze Adult cock, 26 pounds, y urllng cock, 32 pounds; cockerel, 22 pounds; hen. 20 pounds; pullet, 16 pounds.

In many other sections of the country the Bronze Is the leader English poulterers prefer (he Bronze to alt others. In mating any variety It Is best to select medium-sized gobblers, and the hens should be rugged and well de veloped Much of the decline in the industry can be traced o the use of stock birds that have become sickly and degenerate from Injudicious breed ing.

M.e production of the finest capons for certain markets. When full grown the males weigh from 8 to 11 pounds and females 7 to 10 pounds, and are probably the largest of all the Plymouth Rock family. Their plumage should be pure white, legs and beak deep rich yellow, combs small, single and fine. Such a fowl not only dresses to the best advantage, and commands best prices, but is also very attractive in large flocks. Fanciers have done very much to Improve and popularize this breed, un til at presemr it is regarded as the most typical In shape of all the Plymouth Rocks. They are always salable at good prices, and they usually are shown in goodly numbers at the poultry exhibi tions. breeding that are under three veais of age, and 3, inbreeding. The sexes must not be related. With these precautions and proper feeding and care .turkey culture can be made very profitable, and should be more largely entered into by farmers. No stock should be killed for market that Is not well fattened. Killing is generally done by suspending the fowl by tl)e shanks bead down, and stick ing In the roof of the ...mouth so as to sever the rterles and cut Into the brain. This will produce Insensibility and cause a free flow of blood from the mouth. The carcass is then drv picked. The head, feet and entral’s are not removed. How to Dress for Market. Dressed turkeys are shipped to mar ket during cold weather, packed closely in boxes or barrels lined with whi :s o. Manila paper. If the weather is more mild, ice must be used tn pack ing. Cover the bottom of the barrel with cracked Ice, then put down a layer of poultry, then a layer of ice, and ro until packed solid and full. Head the barrel lightly. Different methods are used in fat tening turkeys, but the majority of growers prefer nothing but two-year old corn. Where there is not a very large supply of old corn it is safe to mnke an equal mixture of both old and new. Some breeders prefer a mixture of two-thirds corn and one-third oats, and occasionally give a cornmeal mush feed. It is said that turkeys will fat ten more reaully on northern white flint corn, and the flesh will be of a finer quality. While fattening, tur keys must not be cooped up. They must have their liberty, and, If regu uarl.v given two meals a day, they wil not he Inclined to /cam. To pen them In a building or other Inclosure will result In loss of appetite.
