Farmer Cuisines TURKEYS

1t all came about through Farmer
Cuisines reprehensible habit of dis
cussing his affairs with all the world
and his wife. 1t was natural that
Cuisine should swell with pride as he
viewed his flock of Thanksgiving tur
keys. They were birds. Fat ard
feathery, with strut like the foreign
nobleman of cheap melodrama, they
basked in the sunshine of local pop
ularity and were rightly voted the
finest in the county. So far all was
well and the goose hung high in the
Cuisine household. But fate. at the
eleventh hour, favorite time with
fate, brought, the turkey farmer In
juxtaposition with his pndoing, and
SO kindly provided this story for the
edification of the public.
Heretofore it has been the belief
of most people that turkeys are born
to be fattened, killed and eaten. The
expression, He hasn't got sense
enough to come in out of the rain"
was coined, 1t is believed, on turkey
farm, for this species of domestic
fowl will stay out in the wet until
washed away unless its owner inter-
venes in his own interests. But it
seems the turkey has been much
maligned. He is in reality a sensible
bird. as this story will prove.
Cuisine made the mistake of under
rating turkey intelligence when he
held forth one day to an admiring au-
dience of friends and relatives on the
astonishing success of his efforts at
turkey breeding.
Look at that big fellow" said Cuis-
inc, pointing at gobbler, who stalk
ed disdainfully past with tail feathers
elevated. Il have been fattening him
especially for the table of President
Roosevelt. He's bigger than anything
around here, and I'm going to have
him weighed and sent to the White
House for Thanksgiving. Them news
paper fellers will get a-hold of it and
my name will be in print from New
York to the Golden Gate. shall kill
him in a day or two from now. The
others are all booked to go this week
/ expect to do right well with 'em
ALL"
Thus thought Farmer Cuisine, with
an eye to the shekels after the kill
ing. 1t never occurred to him the
gobbler might be listening. Nor did
he dream for a moment that turkeys
were intelligent fow. and would Just
as soon continue to strut the earth
as be trussed for the table. Had he
understood the birds better, or had he
attended mass meeting of gobblers
called that evening on the stone lence
behind the barn, he might have re-
Trained thereafter from taking the
domestic fowl into his confidence
when discussing his plans.
The meeting was called to order by
the gobbler already referred to-he
of the disdainful stalk In a few we'll
chosen gobbles he retailed to the ST.
lent audience the story of their fate,
repeating mournfully the remarks
made by Cuisine concerning his plans.
For them the speaker, or rather gob-
bier, explained the days were num-
bered. The glorious season Of unlim-
tied corn was drawing to close. He
pierced the haze of the future and
there beheld the terrible apparition
of headless turkey, trussed and
stuffed aud garnished, borne aloft like
a sacrifice while hungry multitude
applauded expectantly. He looked
closer at the apparition,. and 10! it
