LEADING BREEDERS OF TURKEYS IN THE U. S.

An Order Received By Pullin Bros. From Australia by Cablegram for Five Turks at S2O Each. That the reputation of the Pullin Bros.’ strain of Bronze turkeys is becoming world wide was shown Thursday when W. H. Pullin received a cablegram from Muirsbead, Queensland, Australia, which contained the information that the terms and conditions for the sale of five turkeys had been accepted. The circumstances leading to .the negotiation are rather remarkable. The Chief Veterinary of the Austrailian government advised the prospective importer to write Dr. Melvin, Chief of the United States Bureau of Animal Husbandry, for the address of the foremost breeder of the United States. That the parties were brought in touch with one another through the recommendation of Pullin Bros, from Dr. Melvin sounds very much like an official recognition of the quality of the turkeys produced on the Iroquois farm, near Rensselaer. The price of SIOO, as agreed on in the cablegram, is by no means the top notch for the Pullin Bros. Sales to the first of January averaged $18.36 per head, a number being made at $25 each. One day’s business last week totaled SBS. For a number of years this strain of turkeys has carried off the lion’s share of prizes at the leading shows, the latest victories being at St. Louis and Chicago, where the birds made almost a clean sweep in each city. An attack of the grip is often followed by a persistent cough, which to many proves a great annoyance. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been extensively used and with good success for the relief and cure of this cough. Many cases have been cured after all other remedies had failed. Sold by all dealers. c
