Preparing the Turkey for Christmas Dinner
Old guidance notes how to draw and clean a turkey, now streamlined. Singeing with alcohol is shown as a smokeless method. Wipe and dry the cavity, refrigerate overnight if desired, then stuff and bake just before serving.
How Much is Enough Take the Guess Work Out of Stuffing
Estimate stuffing needs before cooking by allowing one half cup of stuffing per pound of turkey. This amount fills neck and body cavities and may yield extra for baking in a covered casserole. Bake the casserole 30 to 40 minutes to heat through and meld flavors with a sprinkle of water on top before baking.

Crop rotation changes soil nature at Indian Head farm
An experiment at the CDA's Indian Head experimental farm in Saskatchewan shows two cropping systems over 52 years. A nine year rotation with grass alfalfa wheat oats corn and summerfallow maintained humus at 9.3 percent, while a straight wheat rotation fell to 8.1 percent. Wheat without fertilizer yielded six bushels more on humus rich land, and ammonium nitrate fertilizer matched this on poorer land. Phosphorus and other treatments had limited impact, and none altered yields on the nine year rotation soil, suggesting past soil management influences fertilizer needs alongside soil tests.
