PROGRESSIVE POULTRY RAISING 



In getting the turkeys ready for market it is a good 

 thing to begin feeding a little night and morning about 

 the middle of September. The feed should be very 

 light at first and the amount gradually increased until 

 about ten days before marketing when they should be 

 given all they will consume three times a day. In the 

 beginning equal parts of wheat, oats and corn may be 

 given but the proportion of corn should be gradually 

 increased until the last of October when they should be 

 fed on corn alone. As a usual thing results are not satis- 

 factory where the birds are confined during the fattening 

 period.
