The Turkey
Thanksgiving Bird

They have expert plckers to handle the
turkeys; they will not break the skin
and will get out all the pin feathers; they
are placed in dry cold storage and put in
the hands Of the market men in the best
possible condition.
Appearance has a large value in buying
and selling turkeys. The proper handling
Of a. turkey on the farm OF attention to
dressing will add one-half to its value
over insufficient fattening or poor dress
ing. Who is there who has not gone onto
the market to buy his Thanksgiving turkey
and seen plenty OF blue skinned, pin-
feathery and bony turkeys? Perhaps they
had torn skins. They were not the turkeys
he was looking for. Presently he sees a
group Of yellow-skinned, plump, clean
picked birds. Their price is much higher,
but they are the birds he wants and he
cheerfully pays the price.
Lose on Unfinished Turkeys.
The first lot Of turkeys hangs on the
hands Of the market man all day. Just
before he closes up the buyer for a 1O-cent
restaurant comes along and offers him a
low price to close out the whole lot, which
he finally accepts. The only difference in
price was the difference in management.
Had the owner OF the first lot confined
his turkeys three weeks and fed them prop
erly they would have been as good as the
first lot with the same care in dress
ing. Thousands Of dollars are lost every
year by sending unfinished turkeys to
market.
The city markets on the few first days
before Thanksgiving are an inspiring sight.
Long rows OF that king among fowls-the
.turkey-hang in the market stalls. The
more corpulent ones are decorated with
ribbons Of varied hues.
Visions OF these glorious turkeys come
to ones fancy as they will appear on the
well-appointed tables Of our substantial
citizens. done to a erispy brown. with its
interior filled with the most sayory dress

son.

your vision would be dressed turkeys. The
near approach of Thanksgiving is respon-
sIble for this display.
Thanksgiving and turkey are inseparable,
analogous is the snatch OF an old song
What is Home Without a Mother?" so
what is Thanksgiving without turkey?,
While home may exist without a mother
and It is possible to have thankful hearts
without a turkey, IL will be admitted that
a mother is a prime factor in a home and
a turkey is the same in helping along a
Thanksgiving.
Weeks before Thanksgiving the commits
sion merchant has been corresponding with
his country patrons about the prospective
supply OF turkeys on the farms, he had
estimated the number that It would take
the retail dealers. and by early mail or
by his travellers he had drummed the
produce dealers for a supply. they in their
return interested the poultry raisers on the
farms by offering the housewives a liberal
price for their young toms delivered TO
them alive. at a set date.
General Exodus from the Farm.
On this day there is a general exodus OF
all the we'll fattened turkeys from the farms
TO the shipping station, coops Of turkeys
come by the score we'll filled with the
American bird. Some Of tue large growers
bring a wagon load loose in the wagon
box. after the manner of hauling swine to
market.
The final end Of all turkeys is the mar
ket. For this purpose they are brought
into the world, carefully reared and fat
tened. They are a snowy bird on the
farm. In the fall the young toms spread
their tails and expand their wings, and
amid much noisy g~obbling strive to show
their charms.
The first thought is not how nice they
look, but how heavy they are; will they
dress well and will they be plump and
snowy after they have parted with their
fuss and feathers, as they hang in a loug
row in the market stall7
When the turkeys are delivered to the
country dealer he sometimes dresses them
and packs them In boxes or barrels, and
forwards them TO the city market. Those
that were dry picked are more pleasing to
the eye.

The nrst time we. hear OF the turkey
as a Thanksgiving bird is in the message
Of Governor William Bradford.
A record Of this event has been pre-
served in a letter Of the historian, Ed
ward Wlnslow. who. writing under the
date Of December 16. 1921, says: Our
harvest being gathered in. our governor
sent four men on ~fowling. so that we might
rejoice together after a special manner for
the gathering Of the fruits of our labor"
A portion Of these fruits were twenty
acres Of Indian corn. This fowling expedi-
ton was eminently successful. They killed
as much fowl as, with the Indian meal,
served the whole colony for a week.
Governor Bradford writes that, besides
water fowl. there was a great store Of
wild turkeys. You will notice in the
frontispiece the hunters are returning with
some Of these turkeys. This was the first
recognition Of the turkey as the Thanks
giving bird. The Indian allies. ninety Of
the children OF the forest. headed by the
great chief, Massasoit. brought hve dressed
deer as their contribution to the feast.
Doubtless they brought a store OF dried
corn and beans to make their national
dish of sueeotash. but be this as 1t may,
they Toasted three whole days with their
white brethren.
All Agreed on One Thing.
There was one thing on which they were
all agreed throughout all the changes in
the early history OF the colonists, and that
was that no Thanksgiving could be properly
observed without eating turkey. One
writer ventures the assertion that the tur-
keys then. as in modern days. we're plenti-
fully dressed with cranberry sauce that was
sWeetened with maple sugar.
For many years after the Arst settlement
Of the country the wild turkey was plenti-
full in the forests. As the forests were
cut down and farms opened up. the wild
turkey grew scarce and the settlers began
to domesticate them.
From a small beginning the tame turkey
increased to large hoeks on the farms and

much enjoyment is taken in the selection
OF the candidate for astronomical satisfac-
tion as will be realized in the final ban
quet. The head Of the house, accompanied
by the good housewife and the youthful
scions OF the family, each in turn carefully
scans the group of dressed turkeys; this
one is too lean, that one too small; they
admire the great thirty-pound gobbler and
wish that their family was large enough to
consume it. or their purse long enough so
they could afford to buy it. After looking
the bunch over they finally settle on a
ten-pound bird and, together with some
holiday fxings, bear 1t ~triumphantly home.
There is still left one more phase Of the
turkey a. holiday time. that is the en-
erous gift Of turkeys to the employees of
large establishments, and to those who
otherwise would have none. For many
years 1t has been the custom on each re-
turning Thanksgiving to present a turkey
to every married man in the employ Of
large firms engaged in many different enter
prises. This custom has drawn employer
and emplOye closer together. For this lit
tie act the employee will render better serv-
ice; good eating has a tendency to soften
the heart. thankfulness to create a forgiv-
ing spirit; so IL there had been a misun-
utIolduuln6 DSlhEtu the employer ana any
of his men the turkey would heal the mind
and make future relations happy.
For Sweet Charity's sake.
To those who for sweet charIty's sake

other substsntials and for a few brief
hours make the recipients forget that there
Is such a thing as care, sorrow or possibly
pain in this world, these will be rich in
thankfulness. as they will be the cause Of
so much of II being given. There is no more
unselhsh charity than the custom that has
grown up of giving turkeys to those who
cannot get them themselves on Thanks
giving day.
Thanksgiving day would be far from per-
feet we're we to forget the Oliver OF every
good and perfect gift. our Heavenly Father.
This is a day set apart by our state and
national authorities, when all the people
should without regard TO sect OF creed,
unite in rendering praise and thanksgiving
TO Almighty God for the manifold blessings
that He has howered on US as a people
and as individuals; for the bountiful crops
that mother earth has yielded to the hus-
bandman; for the continuance OF life. health
and good government. Truly, He has not
dealt as well with any other people.
