Once upon a time every farm fJun|ll,V had lis flock of turkeys, which supplied plouty of birds for the home .'table Mini some for the tables of those who lived In the towns. Turkey raising in recent years, however, has decreased. one of the main reasons for this decline being that as tin* population of the country Increased farming became more Intensive and the area ;suitable for turkey raising was reduced. Turkeys require plenty of range in order to thrive. ' Many farmers, however, still consider turkeys a profitable side line on the farm, and about'the first of October begin to consider how to put more I'osh on their turkey flock. Feeding Turkey Flock. Daring the summer and early fall turkeys can find an abundance of feed on the average farm. Grasshoppers and other Insects, weeds and grass seeds, green vegetation, berries and grain picked up in the Holds all go to make up the turkey's dally ration. When this natural feed is plen. 11fill, very little need be added until fattening time except for the purpose of bringing the turke.vs everv niirht to rrtost and to keep tliem from strayhip from hrtme. For this purpose fno kfeed of grain every nierht Just before roosting (hue Is sufficient. V Fattening for Market.

Those confined to a pen eai heartily for two or three days, bu after this they lose their appetite and begin to lose flesh rapidly. On allowing them free range again, thej pick up rapidly and are soon eating as heartily as ever. The better method is to allow them free range, as It keeps them In good, healthy condition, and they are always eager to be fed. Nuts of various kinds are a natural fattening feed picked up by the turkeys on the range. Of these beechnuts, chestnuts, pecans, and acorns are those most commonly found by them.

C-, DEO. 1st, 1921 CO-OPERATIVE GRAIN MARKETING METHODS ! Type of Elevator Should Fit Lo* cal Conditions. Excellent System for One Section Will Not Always Work Out Successfully in Another ? Comparative Study of Plans. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) lu co-operative grain marketing It is more essential that the system be suited to conditions and practical need than it Is that the system itself has been successfully applied In other fields. This has been brought out in mi investigation conducted i>y specialists of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, a report of which has Just been published in department bulletin 937, "Cooperative Grain Marketing." One cannot carry his investigations of co-operative grain marketing far, says the bulletin, without realizing that what may he an excellent method for one section and for a particular condition will not always work out successfully in other sections or when applied to other conditions. The bulletin makes ii comparative study of methods In the United States and Canada. In the Uniteu States the most common type of farmers' grain elevators is owihmI and controlled by a body of stockholders In the Immediate surrounding community, and the elevator is operated as a separate unit independently of any similar elevator. In Canada the line-house type of farmers' elevator prevails and is highly successful. The line-house type consists of a number of elevators controlled by one central ofllee' in a large marketing center. Two such companies in Canada own and operate >ver ?)()(> country elevators In the three great wheat-growing provinces. In comparing the two systems, the bulletin states that the line-house operation of the fanners'elevators would seem to offer the greatest advantage in those states where crops are somewhat uncertain or where the crop year Is of short duration, and under which conditions it may be necessary to close the elevators for certain periods each year. It is possible under the linehouse method of operating elevators to economize in accounting ami to st{ ?><': rdize in construction and in the machinery used. Favoring single-unit elevators is a ; degree of community pride which usually centers around these organizations quite Independent of the services rendered. In many sections there is a prejudice against centralized authority which is not easily overcome, ^levators in the Middle West section , of the United States were established | primarily to solve marketing problems of local character.
