What Turkeys Eat.

Turkeys are th* greatest grasshopper exterminators in the world. When very young they must be fed bran, but after that they pick up their own food. For the starchy elements they eat waste wheat from stubble fields; for the vegetable part of their diet they devour several varieties of weed and grass seeds and for meat substance they consume grasshoppers and bugs.
