NATURAL LAWS. 



pound will make each turkey bring $1. 50 to $2 each, a good 

 profit, with no cost and no time to speak of. Turkeys pay 

 better than any other thing on the farm considering time 

 and cost. 



In California turkeys are herded like sheep. I have seen 

 thousands of them herded by boys. At night they are 

 driven into a large twenty-five acre yard in the center of 

 which are high trees with poles laying from one tree to the 

 other. They roost on these and no coyotes or wolves or 

 wild cats can get at them. They are shipped east in carload 

 lots, and sell at $1.25 each on foot, when fall comes. A 

 small fortune is made, as they are seldom fed except for the- 

 market in the fall. 



BELGIAN HHRES. 



Nature must be followed in these to be successful. 

 Have you not noticed that if you capture a wild bird or a 

 cotton tail rabbit that they will die if you try to keep them 

 in a cage? To prevent this they must be given their liberty .. 

 You can keep them if you make a fence tight all over and 

 large enough, say one acre for fifty or so and have it away 

 from the house and as near wild as you can get it, then you 

 will be successful in raising all. 



Belgian Hares can and are raised in small yards. In 

 fact, most all have no yards at all, only small boxes, 2x3 

 feet, but they have to be very careful, clean out every day 

 and pen each separate. The bucks must be kept separate 

 from the does, or they will kill the young and fight with 

 the other bucks. This is a good deal of work and expense 

 to keep each separate and takes a great many dishes, and 

 many gates to open to clean each pen. It is impossible to 

 keep them healthy and have them do well if they are con* 

 fined without outdoor air and exercise.
