A historical note lists Murder Masquerade by Inez Haynes Trewin as a titled work credited to author Inez Haynes Trewin. The entry confirms the piece belongs to her bibliography with standard publication attribution.
A widow Mary Avery recalls the Satuit murder case on Second Head, detailing the harbor town, its social circles, the Stow masquerade and the Old Place life. She describes Second Head geography, notable families like the Gearys,Eameses, and the Festive masque as the backdrop to the murder mystery. The narrator, tied to the Stow circle, hints at events and suspects amid village politics and personal motives.
A six year University of California study shows turkey hens older than two years are less productive breeders. Egg production falls from 76.6 to 49.5 in year two and to 27.6 by year five, while fertility remains stable. Larger eggs emerge in year two with hatchlings larger at birth but similar at 16 weeks. Mortality is slightly higher in progeny from year one hens.
Records from 100 years ago and earlier describe domestic turkeys weighing seven to eight pounds in Boston, with a Nahant farmer Innkeeper William Breed reportedly rearing wild turkeys dressed at 14 to 18 pounds sold during holidays in Salem. Rhode Island and Connecticut flocks ranged 10 to 14 pounds. Rhode Island turkeys shipped from Westerly. Ohio settlers around 1805 noted wild turkeys as a nuisance, with bold birds disturbing new wheat seeds. A woman trapped about two dozen in a corncrib by scattering shelled corn and leaving the door open.
A writer in the Indiana Farmer's Guide explains estimating production downtime from molt. It takes about six weeks to renew the primary feather next to the axial feather, with remaining primaries dropping in about two week intervals and growing at the same rate. Occasionally several primaries shed together and should count as a single primary in estimates.
Poultry notes cover how hen size affects eggs little, feather picking as a confinement vice, yolk usage in tawed leather, 154 cooperative poultry and egg marketing associations, substituting ground oats or barley for corn in chick and layer rations, feeding quality flattens flavor, vac cinated fowls spreading chicken pox, chicken lice versus mites, clean range reducing disease, yolk color linked to seed, geese and ducks starting lay any time with proper conditions.
