Turkeys For Early Market Being Dressed in Rensselaer.

Rishling & Herath have dressed a nuuilber of fine turkeys for early market during the past sow days. The price quoted at this time is 14 cents, which is a little lower than it has? been the past sow years. Mr. Herath is keeping a record of the live and dressed weights of two bunches of turkeys and this will be published, so that persons may know about what shrinkage to figure on when dressing them for market. * As Thanksgiving approaches the turkey appetite becomes nation .wide and, there are a good many who simply can’t wait until the big day to satiate their longing for that kind of poultry To com,Piy with this demand, which is largely from the city, the demand comes for some early turks. Ris'hling & Herath dressed about a hundred this week and they looked so fine that nothing but a flat purse restrained us from buyin'g one.
