Mr. Thomas makes a specialty of raising Naragansett turkeys. The past season he raised more than one hundred of these fine birds. He will market about sixty and the choice birds of the flock will be kept for breeding purposes. Hatching eggs from this wonderful flock may be obtained in the hatching season. Mr. Thomas also has a few choice turkeys to sell for breeding purposes . These turkeys are unusually large in size and they always bring good prices on the market. If you are interested in raising turkeys at a profit it will pay you to see Mr. Thomas and get a few of these fine turkeys."
