TURKEYS SC4RCLR.
Blackheod Wiwng Them ont in
Spite of Greatest Care.

Once the wild turkey could be seen sweeping
over the rock-rbbed Mills and wooded wales of
New England with broad winged stroke. The
November hunter, climbing over the top rail Of
snake fence and wading through the brush in
search of gray squirrel or quail. longer
expects to see one of these larger birds floating
over his head. 1t has disappeared from New
England. The domestic turkey, it's cousin. also
is vanishing from the birthplace Of Thanks
giving Day. The celebrated Rhode Island turkey
is becoming rara avis The East now depends
almost wholly upon the West for it's supply Of
Thanksgiving and Christmas birds. There is
danger that the turkey viii become such a rare
bird that only the few cels brate their holi-
days by dining upon its appetizing flesh. The
depletion of the supply of New England turkeys
by disease has become great that the subject
has been investigated by the United States gov
ernment and the Rhode Island Agricultural col
lege and Experiment Station.
The disease which is making the raising Of
turkeys in New England not only Improbable
but almost impossible is called "blackhead"
The turkeys are safely brought through The try
ing early weeks of their lives and reach the
stage where they shift for themselves sud
denly their heads become discolorcd and they
quickly die. On farms where once hum
dredS were raised now scarcely half dozen can
be brought to maturity. The raising of the turkey
in Maryland, state which was once counted
among the foremost in this respect is rapidly
declining. 1t has been found impossible to
mature turkeys at the Storrs Agricultural COL
lese, in Connecticut and at the agricultural coll
legc connected with Cornell University. Reports
have recently been received from Michigan and
Western Ontario indicating that growers there
are having trouble in raising large numbers \
dospondont note has been raised recently also by
the Missouri growers. The disease is spreading
westward.
Tho choicest birds thought to be those
which have been bred by crossing with the wild
turkey They are also thought to be more i'm
mune to biackhead. The Rhode Island turkey is
said to have won its reputation through the
strain of wild turkey blood introduced into the
domestic fowls. Wealthy Americans who have
received presents of game from Europeans have
been in the habit of repaying the compliments by
sending turkeys to their European friends. At
first they sent wild turkeys Later it having
been decided that the half wild, half domestic
fowl was better favored fatter and tender,
the cross bred bird has been sent.
Now the demand for the wild turkey is stronger
than ever, as the turkey breeders want him to
strengthen their domestic stOci; and make it
less liable to the rav&ges of blackhead, so there
is renewed danger of the wild turkey stock being
completely wiped out unless some measures ara
speedily taken to protect it.

HENDERSON ON cHIvALRY.
Chicago Professor Tells New York
Audience Gentlemen Are Cour-
! teons TO Working Girls.

New York.-At the first public meet
ing of the New York Association for
Household Research Charles r. Hender-
son, professor OF sociology in the Uni
versity of Chicago, was the principal
speaker He declared that nowadays
only 'ladies" are treated with chiv-
airy.
why is it" asked the professor,
that chiyalry is dead among us? Is
it because the youth were taught to be
courteous to ladies only, and not to all
women? The man who is courteous to
ladies' only and not to the girls in the
streets is only half civilized He is a
gentleman only because it suits his
pleasure to be courteous. But until men
treat the poor working girl with as
much respect and courtesy as they do
have no real gentlemen.
The relation of the household work
er to her employer is closer than that
OF any other class of employe, for the
woman who works in the house is in
way member of the family, and while
she is engaged for a definite sum to do
certain work, yet there is a moral side
to the relation that makes 1t more than
just an industrial problem. 1t is a con-
tract between human beings The wsge-
Garner sells her service, and her intel
ligence and psychological sense, and
this is what makes this particular phase
of the indnstrial problem so difncnlt.
for there are come things that cannot
be bought under the wage system"

Nevertheless, the workmen who did

Nathan soon arrived, and seeing the
altered blue cloth of the service about
he bones picked the uncanny bundle
ID tenderly and carted 1t off to the sta
Ion, meanwhile calling upon the de-
.ectiye bureau for some good detec-
ives to run down the mystery"
The uniform was old and dingy, but
vas such as Is now worn by the po-
Ice. There was a summer helmet and

lumber or shield was near. The name
