 the bird was so fond of. He had seen turnkeys there ofteD, thai 



weiglied from 20 to 30]bs. Tltey were known throughout Pariig,

 correct, it is here thought the fat and flesh of the turkey cannot 

 be so healthy and fine flavoredj as when he eats what he chooses at 

 a timcj and appetite and digestion go on regular as nature prompts. 

 There is a book lateljT published, called ^^Browii's Poultry Yard^'^ 

 an excellent work, written by an Eastern gentleman, and where 

 all keepers of poultry would find some good hints, and probably 

 new ideas and suggestions, as to the best mode of keeping, rear- 

 ing and fattening poultry of all kinds, and especially the turkey. 



We can truly say, that nothing would give us greater pleasure^ 

 than to be the means ofputtingour readers, or even some of them, 

 in channels which would be sure to lead them to the best informa- 

 tion on our subject, and who would be stimulated thereby to help 

 increase the numbers, and improve the qualities of one of our most 

 valuable and beautiful American birds.
