Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 58, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 March 1907 — Venison Once Cheaper than Pork. [ARTICLE]

Venison Once Cheaper than Pork.

Time was, along in the early forties and the early fifties of the last century, that from the wilds of Morgan and Brown counties hunters would bring venison to market and it much lower >han pork was sold in that day, pork being preferred by the Hoosier then to the red deer of the woods. It was in that time that an entire wild turkey, full grown, would sell at a price far below the present appraisement of a scrawney spring chicken, and a quail could be bought for less money than it now takes to buy a dozen links of sausage—neither was the quail required tp masquerade as “short billed snipe.”—lndianapolis News.
