STATEMENT OF JONAS HOLT. 



To the Committee on Poultry : — 



Gentlemen, — I present for your inspection eight full blood 

 Bronze Turkeys ; two of them are sixteen months old ; the 

 old cock weighs twenty-five pounds and the hen sixteen 

 pounds, and they are not fat. 



The chickens weigh, on an average, ten pounds. They are 

 three months old, and have been fed only occasionally since 

 they were hatched. They are a very quiet breed, not moving 

 about so much as the old kind, and they take on flesh much 

 faster than any other kind I ever had ; besides, their meat is 

 much more tender and juicy. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
