The management of turkeys with the 0
ultimate view of fattening them for
the Christmas market covers a con-
siderable period of time. Most turkey
raisers allow their birds free range in
the late summer and fall. In this way,
the turkeys pick up their own living
economically. As fall advances, a
feed of whole grain is usually given
in late afternoon, This is supplement-
ed with moist mash feeds as the finish-
ing time commences, Crate feeding
and close confinement are not recom-
mended for turkeyS. However they
should not have unlimited range.
The basis for the fattening ration
will he approximately equal parts of
Wheat, oats, and barley chop. These
can be supplemented by cooked small
potatoes, table' scraps, one per ,cent
