They then tried Home, Sweet Home," "The Sweet By and By" and "Old Kentucky Home" but, so far removed is this from the Chamberlain administration. only one stanza of the "Old Oaken Bucket" could be sung.

CROSSING THE WILD TURKEY.
Some Interesting Data About a Notable
 American Bird

The most notable American bird in the farm category is the turkey grow ing as he does to the great weight of thirty and even forty pounds and las- ing nothing in flavor and toothsome- ness Likewise the most regal of our. remaining game birds is his blood brother, the wild turkey from which he has descended. There Is perhaps no instance where domestication has scor- ed so little in improvement as with the turkey, says the Philadelphia Rec ord, In fact, in some respects the tanning and breeding have nurt instead of helped the species. No prize domes- 1 tic turkey gobbler is ever so beauti- fully marked or so resplendent with | feathers of black shaded with rich bronze and Illuminated with lustrous finish of burnished copper as is the | typical wild turkey, while the vigor and vitality of the wild bird is such that to this day we strengthen the most virile l of our bronze turkeys by an infusion of the wild blood.
 Rhode Island, small as she is stands for the best in turkey production. The last census shows less than 100000 turkeys in the United States and only about 5000 produced annually in Rhode Island, yet according to T. F. Me- l Grew, the turkey expert, if all the tur- keys of the country were of such good quality as Rhode Islands, their total value would be doubled According to
 the Department of Agriculture, the !
 ed during the last few years as re-
 suit of a determined effort on the part
 of producers of "standard- bredg stock
 to demonstrate that it. is much more profitable to use pure breeding stock
 than the smaller and less vigorous
 stock of times past. The wild turkey is felso being used to instill further new
 vigorous blood into the bronze fiocks
 Inbreeding is the fatal defect among the practice of many turkey growers.
 No other kind of livestock will return ESQ large a profit to the successful pro-
 ducer as poultry, according to McGrew.
 and no kind of poultry is more profit able than turkeys when properly ham
 died. The fact that turkeys will from
 the time that they are six weeks old
 until winter gain the greater part of
 their entire living from bugs, insects,
 grasshoppers and waste grain assures
 their existence during this period at lit-
 tie or no cost to the grower where there
 is a sufficient range for the birds.

~ SOLID COLD. IN LAW.
Meaning of PuxxlinE Term--Protec
 ticn Against ''phoney" JewcIry.

The term "solid gold" has been the cause of much discussion on the part of manufacturers of gold articles and of much misapprehension on the part of the public for some time past, and the recent law fixing the commercial definition of the phrase is welcomed on all sides,
 According to this law, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, 10 carat gold lis the commercial "solid gold,' and all articles containing more alloy than this, or all articles with parts which contain more alloy, are henceforth to be known as plated, filled or rolled gold, and must be so marked by the manufacturer. For example, pin with top of "solid' gold, even t67 the val ue of IS carats, cannot legally be call ed solid if hinge, hook or pin is not 10 carat gold; while another pin of 10 carats throughout, though of much less intrinsic value than that of IS carats, is legally "solid gold This flaw was made to protect the manufacturing jewellers against the makers and sell CTS of "phony" jewelry, and has been heartily indorsed by the legitimate trade all over the United States.
 Tt is a law which we have long needed" said St. Louis wholesale jeweler, "but solid gold is a misnomer and I for one should be very glad to see the term abandoned and the value stamp used in it's place. Commercially speaking, there never was such thing as solid gold'-at least not for the last 200 or 300 years. Some of the ancient iewelry of the Roman and the renais- sance periods was made of pure gold, worked up by hand with the crudest tools and that is, of course, of far greater value on account of the purity of the material as well as it's quaint and beautiful workmanship and it's an- tiquity than any modern products ol tho goldsmiths are.
 But allow has been used to con stantly increasing extent since, because jewellers found that the harder the gold was rendered by good alloy the greater it's wearing qualities and the more secure therefore the setting of the gems it contained. Our jewelrS now is of IS, 14 or 10 carats, according to the design and character of the ar ticle, and it is much more frequently 10 than IS.
 "The law requires us to mark on the article itself or on the card to which lit is attached the exact value of the gold in all the parts, just as the fooc manufacturers are now obliged to statt the ingredients of the package on tht label, and heavy penalty is attached to the use of the words solid gold If any part of the article contains Hess than 10 carats of gold.
 "There is a bill now being prepared
 to be introduced at tho next Congress
 to abolish the use of this term ant
 substitute the carat stamp for it, anC
