With a patient smile they wear it,

600 of Americans stood in thought and

Zen-a plain man in plain clothes, ac-

white Holland Turkey.

Mary l.. Schaal: The White Holland
turkey hen makes an excellent mother
and the young turkeys mature earlier
than most breeds, and that appears to
be the thing desired; for what feed 1t
takes to keep a turkey will almost
fatten a pig. So the earliest maturing
bird is what we want. Some complain
that White Holland turkeys are not
large enough. The largest turkey Is
not always the most desirable for mar
ket. People living in cities do not al
ways want an extra large turkey, un-
less for hotel or clearinghouse. The
White Holland turkey also makes a
better appearance dressed for the mar
ket, for they are naturally plump and
do not have unsightly black pin feath-
er marks on them, and when you once
sell them, people want them again.
The meat is juicy and not coarse. and
being small-boned these turkeys carve
to good advantage.
The White Holland turkey is docile
by nature and lacks the rowing dispo-
sition we find in some birds. That is
a very good trait-docllity; for what
is worse than to be constantly running
after the turkeys. knowing they are
an annoyance to neighbors?

If the President thought of himself
at all in his last moments he could
have taken comfort in the reflection
that he had well-nigh fulfilled his mis-

all and more than they had expected
of him, and had won for himself fame

laid eggs are packed for two or three
weeks in a mixture OF clay, brick dust

1t is said that in this region and in
India turtle eggs are also preserved in
salt. These products, while unusual.
do not necessarily suggest an unpleas-

hardly be said of Chinese product
which has often been described. Ducks
eggs are buried in the ground for ten

sulphide formed breaks the shell and
escapes while the egg becomes hard in
texture. II Is said that the final prod
