Turkey Housing and Ventilation in Cold Climates
A guide from the United States Department of Agriculture explains turkey housing for cold weather. It recommends a slanted roofed shelter with a front ventilator, an open floor for roaming, a front roost with a rear sliding door, and limited light. An enclosed double apartment with a connected fan can protect stock from the cold while allowing daytime exercise. The method suits cold climates but can apply elsewhere to deter theft.

General strike extends to all commercial telegraphers in US and Canada
The 1903 call by President Sylvester J. Small of the Commercial Telegraphers Union for a broad general strike drew little immediate response.
