Are You Doing Yourself Justice?
MR. FARMER: Are you looking ahead for your son, or if you
are a renter are you looking ahead for yourself? Are you going to
aceept this chance for a homestead that Uncle Sam has made possible
for you? Are you dosing over this while your more alert neighbor
is acting? Don’t you realize that the irrigated homesteads now being
offered by the government in the Big Horn Basin ahd North Platte
Valley will prove to be the richest land prizes that the government
has yet bestowed on its citizens? You certainly ought to know of
the present land hunger in this country. Now you have the govern
ment furnishing you 80 and 160 acre tracts of land irrigated by the
ntellmence and financial security of Uncle Sam wdio has suddenlvi
o
become the greatest irrigator the world lias ever known, who offers
you abundant and perpetual with the choicest land at $35 to $45 per
acre in ten annual payments without interest—land that will yield
more in one per acre than the price of the farm.
Do you realize what a “good thing” this is in this day and age? If you do
not let me tell you something about it.

OLD TIME TURKEY EAT
A Once Popular Feast In the
Pennsylvania Mountains.
GONE WITH THE WOODSMEN.
The People, Traditions and Associa
tions That Made It Possible Are No
More, and It Joins In Oblivion the
Apple Cut and Quilting Bee.
“It isn't because there Is no more
material in the Blue mountain region
of Pennsylvania to provide a turkey
eat that we have had the last of those
famous festivities,” said a former
dweller of the district described, “for
there are still wild turkeys a-plenty.
"The turkey eat has gone out with
the passing of the people whose homes,
traditions and manner of life made it
possible and with the occupation that
was once theirs.
“In the days when the turkey eat
was the great winter festivity in the
mountain districts between the Schuyl
kill and the Juniata watersheds the
sparse population was chiefly of rude
and rugged woodmen and their fami
lies, many of them descendants of
pure Pennsylvania Dutch stock. Scores
of them depended almost entirely on
their skill with gun and trap for their
food supply.
“The cabins of these mountaineers
were built of logs, the chinks between
which were filled in with clay. A
huge stone chimney rose at one end
of the cabin outside, covering that en
tire end, while on the inside it opened
on a broad fireplace across that end
of the room.
“The cabin -was banked all around
with earth, against which hemlock and
pine boughs were heaped. Sometimes
rows of cord wood were piled up al
most to the eaves, the better to keep
out the cold, which is always intense
during winter on those wind swept
hills.
“There was rarely a cabin with more
than one room. The walls were dark
and smoky, and from rafter or beam
hung plentifully strips of jerked veni
son and chunks of smoked bear meat,
along with hams and bacon from the
family pigs fattened in the woods and
almost as wild as the bear and the
deer. But the choicest and best bc
loved thing of the cabin’s larder was
the fat and well frozen wild turkey.
“While the woodsman's cabin was al
ways prepared for a turkey eat, it
never knew when it was coming. A
turkey eat began with the making up
of a party in a neighboring village or
settlement. Taking along a fiddler,
they would appear at this, that or the
other woodsman’s cabin of a winter
evening, and the woodsman and his
family did the rest.
“Instantly the birch wood pail of ci
der came forth. While the cabin’s
guests drank cider the host prepared
and spitted the turkey over the hick
ory coals in the fireplace to roast for
the feast. When it was ready for the
table it was placed before the guests
on a big tin platter. Each one carved
for himself, the plates being squares
of birch bark.
“The turkey eat was not complete,
though, without a liberal supply of
‘paan haas’ and head cheese, and with
it went the sweetest of rye bread an<
butter. Paan haas is a strictly Penn
sylvania Dutch creation.
“It is made from the rich juices left
after boiling the ingredients for head
cheese, these being thickened to a stiff
paste with buckwheat flour. This paste
is pressed in forms until cold and is
served in slices. It is a dull blue in
color, very rich and very good.
“After the feast the turkey eat was
rounded out by a night of jollity super
induced by the fiddle and maintained
by it in its music for the old fashioned
cotillon figures and reels, which were
danced until the gray of morning.
“But most of those old time woods
men have passed away, and on those
who are still dwellers in the mountains
the game laws have forced a situation
that leaves them with their ancient oc
cupation gone, and the hunt being no
longer a source of maintenance its tra
ditions have departed with it. The
newer generation of these people is of
other tastes and associations, so while
the wild turkey is yet in proximity In
that Blue mountain region to supply
the material for the festive turkey eat
the traditions and associations that
made it possible are no more, and it is
gone, like the apple cut, the quilting
bee, the pig killing frolic and others of
the old time rural pastimes that are
now but a memory.”—New York Sun.
Hot Stuff.
The great editor looked up impa
tiently.
“Boy,” he said, “what is that rus
tling in the wastebasket—a mouse?”
The boy after examining the basket
answered:
“No, sir: it’s one o’ them poems o'
passion throbbin’.”
“Well, pour some water on it and
then drop it out of the window,” said
the editor. “The building isn’t in
sured.”—Kansas Independent.
Cheap Riding.
Uncle Zeke (back from the city)—You
talk about cheap ridin’l I rode twenty
miles on a street k’yar, an’ all it cost
me was a nickel.
Uncle Jed—GoshI That ain’t nothin’.
When I was thar last year I rode to
the top of the tallest buildin’ in town,
an’ it didn't cost me a blamed cent!—
Chicago Tribune.
He who has once done you a kind
ness will be more ready to do you an
other than he whom you yourself hare
obliged.—Holmes.
