Show Get rid of the culls as early this fall as possible. Cleanliness is half of the battle in turkey raising. Eternal vigilance is the price of success suc-cess with turkeys. Feast one day and famine the next is a money losing policy. Keep turkeys, ducks, geese and hens in separate quarters. Now is the time to buy good breeding breed-ing stock for next spring. Do not confine your show birds too closely in order to train them. When the hens take to the trees, something is wrong in the house. The new plan is to Bell eggs by weight and is done in some parts of the east. A kerosene bath for roosts and nest boxes is in order any time during lice season. A good, live interest in exhibition stock is commendable in the market poultryman. Reserve some good, bright alfalfa hay out of the last cutting for poultry feed next winter. Lots of cold storage eggs on the market, but fresh eggs are always in demand at better prices. Turkeys are good for the fields. They can be driven anywhere you wish from one field to another. Turkeys always find ready sale and are almost clear profit. There is al- : ways a demand for them; the market is never glutted. |
