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

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

Taking Care of Yourself.
There never wna u time when peo

Tlmo was when lino Block nnd lino
horses were fed more carefully than
tinman beings.
The result of properly balanced ra
tions has worked wonders with atock

that the saino thing is true of tuau
kind. It has been found that Quaker Onta

French Canals.
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.

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.

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. Leonard
