HOW DID THE TURKEYS KNow1
Birds Had a Premonition OF Coming

a Virginia farmer tells n story
which seems TO indicate that turkeys
are not as sonseless creatures as they
appear To be. "One night recently"
he says. myself and my wife were
out driving. As | was putting up the
horse after returning hlme | noticed
my turkeys were not roosting as usual
In the big buttonwood tree by the
barn. Instead they were perched on
the fence posts and In the limbs OF
other trees.
1T struck me as mighty funny. as
turkeys on the place had roasted In
that tree ever since could remember.
That night about midnight a hard
wind ard rain storm came up and tho
old buttonwoOd blew down. Now.
how did those turkeys know that tree
was doomed? At shutdown there was
no sign Of n storm and the buttonwood
was fully fifty years old and apparent
