BOURBON RED TURKEY,

sas. Wherever they are known they
are very much admired both in the
wild and domestic state, and truly
they are beautiful fowl, being dark
red color, the gobblers being the
darkest, and bordering on brown
with white wings and tail. and the
body feathers having two narrow
black bars running across the feath-
ers, one on the tip being very black,
the other close to it of a very light
shade of black. .~. .-...-.-..
The tips Of all the feathers have a
bronze or blush sheen when shifted
In the sunlight, similar to the bronze
turkey. The under color runs out to
nearly a white, with a large part OF it
beautiful buff. In size, shape and
weight when domesticated they re.
semble the good old bronze turkey,
but are more hardy, better layers aud
less liable to wander away from home
The young are nearly as easy to raise
as young chickens, and should meet
with general favor on this account;
this, together with their beautiful ap-
pearance and fine table qualities
large amount Of breast meat-shou]d
make them sell well on the markets
and to the fanciers.
They are in no sense a mixed breed
but just as pure variety as tho
bronze turkey, and no cross with
bronze, buff or any other variety will
produce natural pure FLOODED Bour-
bon red turkey. They have been do.
mesticated in Kentucky for 1s years
to my knowledge, and am personal
ly acquainted with a gentleman who
saw them rs years ago in southern
Iowa. The wild turkey is like the wild
bronze-long, lean and lanky-and can
outrun a deer; but the domestic red
turkey is heavier breasted than the
bronze turkey. The cut illustrates
the Bourbon turkey very well-at any
rate, it represents an expert artists
ability to get an exact type of the
fowl. Everybody knows what an ele-
giant turkey the bronze is, but I be-
lieve the Bourbon reds will supplant
them wherever they are tried. They
should not be crossed with any other
variety, and, in fact, I do not believe
in crossing of any kind, for it invari-
ably works in this way: Take two
thoroughbred varieties Of fowls and
cross them, and the result is an in
ferior offspring to either one of the
original kinds, and even if it does not
show It very strong the first time
they will degenerate so that anybody
can notice it when bred again.
There is no adopted standard of the
Bourbon red turkey, but an effort will
be made to get them recognized at
the next revision Of the American
standard, as they are natural fowl,
and, having been long bred, they are
eligible at any time. If were to
place schedule of points on them I
would make it the same as the bronze,
except the breast, which ought to
have another five points added on &C,
count of it's fullness and excellent
quality-E. E. Page, in Ohio Farmer.

question of new wall coverings is up. Paper

Preparing Land for Oats.

way with us is to first get the soil

We then run the disc across the first
cut and harrow the land till it is in

well covered. It now looks as if we
would not sow very many oats, as

pleted that task. and the bill will be laid before
the full committee for consideration at its next
meeting, good many changes have been made
in the original bill. but most of them relate to
form rather than substance. few, however
are of considerable Importance. and the pro-
visions OF the measure a whole have been
improved. This is especially true of the sec
tion in which the powers of the Insuiar Legis-
lature are enumerated and defined. The amount
of bonded Indebtedness which may be author
lied, either on account Of the whole island or or
any municipal division subdivision. is care
fully prescribed and limited, and full and ade-
quate provision must be made for the regular
payment of the interest and the extngush-
ment of the principal within period not ex-
ceeding twenty years. The amount of bonded
Indebtedness. including existing indebtedness.
must not at any time exceed per cent of the
assessed valuation of taxable property, and the
amount contracted in any one year must not
exceed j per cent of said valuation for any and
all purposes whatsoever
The provision in relation to the qualifications
of members of the Insular Legislature has been
modified by requiring not only at least one
years residence in the island, but in the legis-
lauive district, to make q person eligible a
candidate for that body.
