giving's principal problem is the turkey,
and for people in moderate circumstances
the problem has been getting increasingly
difficult Of solution for several years past.
The holiday bird par excellence is the New
England grown fowl. This you may learn
anywhere except in Pennsylvania and those
central Western States, notably Michigan,
which yearly send carloads OF turkeys to
New York and other Eastern markets.
There the patriotic citizens will not admit
that anything exoels the home product
in delicacy Of favor and tenderness Of
meat.
But throughout New England and the
country at large the New England bird
heads the list, that Of Rhode Island at the
top, because of the prestige given it by
one Rhode Islander who annually for many
years has sent a'turkey to the White HOUSE:
and next that Of Vermont.
But in proportion as the raising Of turkeys
has been growing more difficult year by
year, the prices have advanced, until to-
day it is necessary to pay IS cents a pound
for a fowi which n decade ago could have
been bought for 10. The increasing scar
city Of these royal birds is due to the ravages
Of the blackbead disease.
So destructive has this disease proved in
New England hat whereas not many years
ago many farmers marketed zach November
fOcks Of several score turkeys, thereby
adding materially to the never too plentiful
a income OF their farms, to-day there Is
probably not a farm In the State Of Rhode
Island which can show a flock Of 100 birds,
while most farmers rave discontinued alto
gether their efforts to bring turkeys to
maturity.

Other young homebred professionals who

The senior Of the homebred professionals
is Arthur H. Fem, who played with dis

and 1898. He has been a professional since
then and slternates between the courses at
Palm Beach. Fla, and Poland Springs, Me.
The winning Of the national open cham

To judge by the scores in the professional
golf competitions Of the season an American
may yet win the open championship. The
prospect il not very bright, though, for
while about a hundred homebreds have
berths as professionals on profitable green's
there are only ten or a dozen who reveal
in flashes the right sort OF golf.
The best and most consistent golf il
played by the youngest among them, lads

ranks to the professionals berth. II
