The wild turkey, of course, la a j-peclim entirely distinct lioiu tho tamo bird with tho whltiMiioatcd hreast. Ono teuton why Its pres.ur vatlon is liupoitant Ih that It I needed to contribute from time to lime Its liaitly blood and much-pilled K.iino llaxor to t!u doniestiuateil va ilely by Interbreeding The eonip.ir ativelj dark meat ol the breast nt many of the tamo turkeys that eoino to market nowaday:! at the Thanks Giving season Is attrlbutablo to such matliiKs, which aro eagerly Bought by the knowing producer of leath ered stock. Tho wild turkey Is no notoriously shy that most people would be In dined to suppose it Incapable of do mestication Such an Itifeiunce, how ever, accoiding to the expert, is a mistaken one An a matter of tact, the bird is not by nature much atrald of man, but rather tame and hoc I able, ho far an human beings are con (.-el ned. In Massachusetts during early colonial dajs there were great iiumbera of wild turkeys, ami Ire 'juently they made llit'incclveH at home lu the close uelghboihood of the dwellings ot settlers. Today the species Is entirely ex tinct lu New Knglnnd, ami lu other parts of the country the lowl is ex tiemdy wild and hard to plioot not, however, because of a natural shy ness of disposition, but simply tor the reason dint it han been hunted and trapped so oersl-Ueiilly. If wild turkeys were bred nnd reared on farniR-j-a mat ter of no great dllllculty to accomplish, say the experts they would be docile enough, and, with proper protection, would multiply rapidly. Tho fact that wild turkeys nave maintained their foothold to foiiic extent In long-settled parts of th"lr old territory as, for example, in Vir ginia and Maryland nppears to indicate that It would be entirely practicable to restock portions of their former ranges Hut, Inasmuch ns tho country anciently occupied by them Is now tor the most part populated by human beings, it is necessary, lu order to accomplish the object sug gested, that their multiplication Phall be encour aged under conditions of at least partial domes tlcatlnn that Is to say, by farming the birds tor pleasure and nroflt. It is believed that, if proper potectlon wero given to such enterprls'es by the law, sporting club and wealthy individuals owning or leasing huge tracts would gladly go Into the business ot" breeding wild turkeys not for market of course, but for the pleasure derivable from such an enter prise. At the present time not a tew such organi sations and proprietors of great private estates maintain similar preserves for the uuall or "bob white," holding Held tria'4 In competition, to test the ability of dogs to llnd nnd point the birds. These field dials are In reality dog races, nnd no shooting of the ouall Is allowed Where wild turkeys are concerned, however, tin re is no reaKoti why such extensive preserves, cowring In f-omo Instances many thousands of acres, should not nflonl admirable sport under suitable restuctlons There is no form of nutdcor nmusenient more delightful than turkey hunting. Hut. If farmers could be persuaded to take up the Idea, and to breed the birds, they might sell shoot ing privileges to sportsmen at a rate which would put much more money into their pockets than thev could gain by sending the fowls to market H the business were suitably managed tarnib ot &00 to l.noo acies would yield a larger revenue horn wild tin keys than fiom poultry, hportsmen being usually willing to pay several times more for the fun ot r-hootlng birds than the latter would fetch as marketable game. For such purposes, of coiin-e. it would be neither neceeary nor desir able that the fowls should be too tame. On tho other hand, expoiienee hax shown that wild tur keys are not disposed to go inr away fiom an ac customed source of food supply. The wild turkey is piolltlc, and lakes kindly to clvllUatlon Like Its tame congener, It is a great consumer of Injurious Insects, particularly grass hoppers, and as such would be uselul to the tann er The temalo lays lioiu 15 to "JO eggs for a "clutch," but raises only one brood In a year. PoxDi., hawks and owls are deadly enemies, but It would bo the business of the farmer to protect the birds fiom these foes, ns he does in the case of Ills farm-yard poultry. As tor human poach ers, adequate laws for protection against them would have to be passed, but the sportsmen, If once they became Interested In the matter, could he relied upon to exert In this direction a power ful Influence, whtck hna never yet failed of suc cess In affairs of tho kind. It scptms dlllicult to realize that Icbs than 100 years ago wild turkeys were ho abundant that they often t-old lor six cents apiece, a very largo one, weighing 'J5 or 110 pounds, occasionally fetch ing as much ns 2G cents. To-day a large speci men, gobbkr preterm!, Is worth $r(. The species 1ms been wiped out, not by sportsmen, but by pot lr.iiiteis, who kill tho blids on tho roosts, trap them In pens, or He In ambush lor tlioni. attract ing them within easy shooting distance by Imita ting the call of tho hen or tho young "poult."

The greatest era of canal building in Franco has been the present pe riod. The aim lu building them has been to unify, to complete, to cheap en. Aivither great work done by the republic has been the unifying of all the waterways; depth, breadth of tho canals, distance between the locks hne been made uniform throughout the country, so that the 30x40 canals, built at different periods in tho course of centuries, are now as one Hlugle canal conveying goods to all parts of I-'tance and to all her principal sen ports. The canals ate under htate su pervision. They are built and kept up by state englueurs. The Invest ment for building canals is valuable, because of what It yields, of what It helps, ui.il uluo of what It prevents. Tli" cntitils act a- a. kind of rate bill, an automatic, self-regulating one. In the regions tuoi-t beast of France) al though canals aro improved and In- JBACK FROM THE HUNT the reailng of turkeys undor setn -domes calon though In this case the bp.-cles dealt with is the tame one. On this island, which s the most sue cessful turkey lann in tho world, the birds aro permitted to run wild, and are not oen u muim.. with any shelter, other than they can find among the trees and scrub. Hut plenty of corn Is thrown about where tliey can get It. In this artificial wilderness, as it might be called, which covers an area of about t.OOf) acres, the turkeys get as close to nature as possible. In deed the whole idea of their inanageiiient Is to let them alone, Inteifering with them as little as possible. In the winter time their heads often ireeze under their wings when thoy are at roost. I'.ut the exposure does them no harm: on tho con trary, It lenders them exceedingly vigorous, and they attain huge size, the gobblers sometimes weighing as much as 50 pounds when sent to market. Kvery spring a few wild gobblers, trapped for the purpose in Virginia or the Carollnas. are In troduced Into tho flocks on Fisher's island, to con tribute fresh blood. This Is esteemed a matter of the utmost Importance. Our tame turkeys are no torlously dlincult birds to rear, under ordinary cir cumstances, being delicate and liable to epldem lcson which account many farmers havo given uji trying to raise them. The reason why Is sim ply that theie has been too much inbreeding, and the stock has lost Its hardiness. A number of varieties of the tame turkey have been developed by breeding, tho piluilpal ones being the Bronze, the Buff, the Slate, and the White, the Black and the Narrnganpett. Tho White was originally an albino. But all of these an- derived fiom a i-lnglo species, which Is ot Mexican origin. There Is only one other known species, which Is native to Yucatan and Ouateina la. It Is called the "(u-ellated turkey," owing to the fact that Its tall la ornamented with eyes like that of the pe.uoLk. It is ono of the most ben-itl-ful of birds, its teathers blazing with metallic re flections ot gold, green, blue and bronze. O933Q0Oo5DO8)ecsoGoeeori8&etj8 r w ful Heart Image and after his likeness. There Is a divine element In our nnturo that enables uh to think Hod' thoughts in the facts of nature aa well as In the words of Scriptures.

For the Thanksgiving Dinner The School Lunch and Dyspepsia. It Is very Important that the meal eaten at recess be a warm one, and whenever possible it should be pro pared and eaten at home. Until a child Is 10 or 12 years old it must lae Its dinner or principal meal of the day nt noon. Tho rest of tho household may dine in the ovening, but for the youngster so heavy a re past near bedtime Is certain to bn delete rlous. A bundle of cold sand wlches will not serve as a substitute for the midday dinner, for tho child needs not only warm, home-cooked food, but also the walk home, the bit of play on tho way and tho hour's forgetfulness of lessons.
