Food Value of Eggs.

Popular belief to the contrary, there
is no difference in the nutritive quail
ties Of eggs with dark shells and those
with light. Their flavor is affected by
the food Of the fowl for good or for
evil. Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped Investigators prove that the
egg deserves its reputation as an
easily assimilated and highly nutri-
tious food, If eaten raw or lightly
cooked. Such experiments also show
that eggs at twelve cents dozen are
a cheap source Of nutrients; at six
teen cents, somewhat expensive, and
at twenty-five cents and over, highly
extravagant.
The basis Of comparison was the
market prices of standard flesh foods
considered in relation to their nutri
tive elements. But there Is a Dhysio
logical constituent of eggs which is Of
great value, yet it defies the search of
the scientist or the inquisition OF the
statistician. and that is their palata-
bility. Unless food, however rich in
proteins, is relished, 1t loses much of
its value, while. per contra, q less
chemically desirable food that is en-.
joyed becomes valuable by reason Of
that fact.

THE NATIONAL BIR D,
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL

Ing, people have become so disheart-
enexi in some localities 18th the mea.
ger results of their efforts to grow
turkeys for market that they have de-
sisted from the attempt.
Mr., T. F. McGrew, Of New York.
well-known judge Of poultry and
writer on breeds and breeding, has
written a turkey bulletin for the De
partment of Agriculture which II
known as Farmers Bulletin No. 100,
and in this he says that there 10 no
other kind OF livestock that will return
so large a profit to the successful pro
ducer as will poultry. and no kind Of
poultry is more profitable than turkeys
when properly handled. The fact that
turkeys will, from the time they are
six weeks old until winter sets In,
gain the greater part Of their entire
living from bugs, g-asshoppers and
waste grain that they pick up In their
wanderings over the range, assures
their existence through this period at
little or no cost to the grower. In
other words, they may be termed self
sustaining foragers, where they have
sufficient range.
The Bronze Turkey.
This turkey holds tho post Of honor.
1t is possibly a cross between the wild
turkey and the tame turkey, which lat
ter is generally believed to have de-
scended from either the North Ameri-
can wild turkey. the Mexican wild
turkey or the Honduras or OcelIated
turkey. Its beautiful rich plumage
and its size have come from its wild

able qualities, crosses are continually
necessary. In this way the mammoth
size has been gained, the standard
weight ranging from sixteen to thirty
six pounds, according to age and sex.
The coloring of this variety is
ground Of black blazoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing, and when the SUMS rays are
reflected from these cOlors. they shine
like polished steel. The female is not
as rich in color as the male, but both
have the same color and shadings.
Much Of this richness Of color Is lost

probably an equal footing. the one the
tyrant Of the air and the other the
king Of game birds. Both were hunt
ed by the Indian, the eagle to furnish
plumes for his war bonnet, and the
turkey, Of course, for food.
But now the eagle seldom Is hunted
and still more seldom ever killed or
captured, while the turkey Is found
in hundreds Of thousands Of farm
yards.
Although the North American wild
turkey Is q beautiful and resplendent
game bird. with feathers Of black,
shaded with a rich bronze and fllumi-
mated with lustrous finish Of coppery
color, his domesticated cousin, while
improved nothing in appearance, has
been bred up to outweigh any other
domestic fowl, thirty or thirty-five
pounds being not uncommon among
prize turkey focks.
According to the Department OF
Agriculture the growing of turkeys
has improved within the last few
years as a result Of a determined effort
on the part of producers Of what 10
termed standard bred or exhibition"
stock to demonstrate that 1t is more
profitable to use pre- bred breeding
stock than the smaller and less vigor-
ous stock of days gone by. Their
efforts to introduce throughout the
country the several standard varie-
ties Of turkeys have greatly improved
our turkey growing industry. This
effort has supplied rich, new, vigorous
blood throughout the whole country.
adding strength and virility to in
Vulnerable hocks, many Of which had
become considerably deteriorated
through inbreeding.
Detefioration Through InbreedinR.
The fact that one fecundation 10
sufficient to render fertile all the eggs
Of one laying has made possible the
undermining Of the health and vigor
Of the present-day domestic turkey.
Being advised of this, hundreds of
people depend upon their neighbors'
nocks for the services Of a male and
pay no attention to the matter OF
breeding stock except to keep one OF
two turkey hens. This has reduced
many Of the turkeys throughout the
country almost to a condition of i'm
becility. The lack Of vigor in a largt

The Narragansett Turkey.

This turkey is noble looking, full
chested bird but is not SO large as the
Bronze. His color is a black back
ground with steel-gray edge to the
feather which imparts metallic
black-and-bronze luster. The cocks, or
toms, weigh from 20 to 80 pounds, and
some old ones have gone 40 pounds.
The Narragansett is n desirable breed
and some growers declare that they
will reach market size and condition
IN less time than the Bronze turkeys.
The Buff Turkey.
As bred for market these turkeys are
reddish buff or light chestnut color
mixed with white and some dark
shadings. They are highly valued in
some localities for their quick growth
and for their effectiveness when
dressed. although they do not run as
the Naragansett or the Bronze.
The White Turkey
In America the white variety Il
called the White Holland turkey. In
England they are known as austrian
Whites" where they are considered
epOTtS from OtDeT turkeys. Iney range
from 10 pounds for young hens to 20
pounds for old cocks, although they
have run as high as 35 pounds at fairs.
Mr.. McGrew states that white turkeys
are quite as easy to grow as any other
variety, and he states that one cannot
select a better kind for all uses than
the White Holland. They grow to the
most profitable sizes, dress beautifully
for market, their light, pinkish-white
shanks add to their appearance; and
with them, as with all white poultry.
the pin feathers show less than -
darker varities. The very largest tur-
keys are not as profitable either e.
grow or to sell. The medium sizes
from 8 to 1s pounds dressed-are t),4
most desirable for family use.
