Show A Good Turkey Ration. While corn will put fat on turkeys, a much finer quality of flesh Is obtained ob-tained If they are given a ration of ground oats, barley, buckwheat and wheat middlings mixed Into a moist hash and skim milk or buttermilk. A half ounce of tallow to each bird as a substitute for corn gives excellent results. This ration should be fed from a trough and should be supplemented by a succulent ration of apples, beets or turnips. Shells, grit, and fresh water wa-ter should be kept before the birds constantly. If they are In good growing grow-ing condition to start with about three weeks of this special feeding will be needed to fit them for the table. |
