OLD TIME TURKEY EATING
Custom is Gone From the Pennsyl-
Vanfa Mountains Along with
the WOOdsmen.

ut isn't because there is no more ma
terial in the Blue mountain region of Penn
sylvania to prov de a turkey eat that we
have had the last of those famous festivi-
ties" said a former dweller Of the district
described FOR there are still wild turkeys
a~-plenty."
"The turkey eat has gone out with the
passing OF the people whose homes, ira
ditions and manner Of life made it possible
and with the occupation that was once
theirs.
I'm the days when the turkey eat was
the great winter festivity in the mountain
districts between the Schuylkill and the
Juniata watersheds the sparse population
was chiefly Of rude and rugged woodsmen
and their families, many of them descend
ants Of pure Pennsylvania Dutch stock.
Scores OF them depended almost entirely
on their skill with gun and trap for food.
THE cabins Of these mountaineers were
built of legs, the chinks tetween which were
filled in with clay. A huge stone chimney
rose at one end of the cabin outside, cover
ing that entire end, while on the inside il
opened with its broad deep fireplace across
that end Of the room.
"The cabin was banked all around with
earth. against which hemlock and pine
DouBhs were hedpSu- SohellIles iehhs u
cordwood were piled up almost to the caves,
the better to keep out the cold which is
always intense during the winter on those
high and windsweDt hills.
There was rarely a cabin with more than
one room. The walls were dark and smoky
and from the rafter or beam hung plent-
fully strips Of jeTked venison and chunk OF
smoked bear meat, along with hams and
bacon from the family pigs fattened in the
woods. and almost as wild as the bear and
the deer. But the choicest and best beloved
thing OF the cabins larder was the fat and
well frozen wild turkey.
while the woodlands cabin was always

Concrete construction in dwelling houses
Is not making much progress in Omaha.
Most Of the concrete work is in foundations,
a few of them cast in molds, but generally
the manufactured blocks are used. Several
homes built of concrete blocks are to be
seen. some of them quite attractive in
design and finish. Considering the com
parativc. chedpness of the material, its
permanency. and decreased fire risk, it is
a mystery why the material is not more
extensively employed in the building of
homes. In the suburbs of Boston concrete
is now in common use for home building,
and many examples of ornate construction
are to be zen. Alphabetically, the colonial
and English cottage designs predominant,
and the finished buildings are pronounced
superior to brick construction
The manner of construction is called the
monolithic, for the reason that the walls
and floors are one solid mass. The con-
crete is poured into a mold and left to
harden. The outer walls are cast with a
hollow space, forming an air cushion,
which prevents dampness, keeps out the
cold OF winter and rcsists the heat of sum-
mer. Even the roofs are concrete with n
tile finish. The favored hardwood finish
may be dispensed with entirely. the floors
being tile finish and the doors and window
castings OF similar material, In any color
desired. Practically the only wood needed
Is limited to the doors and windows and
frames and the kitchen accessories. Out
wardly the walls lend themselves to any
ornamentation desired, and by a blending
Of cement are made to present a bright
appearance, devoid OF the dull gray color
which is associated, in the ordinary mind,
with the appearance OF concrete.
Regarding the cost Of construction the
Boston Herald puts the figure at 10 per
cent less than wood construction. Lumber
is undoubtedly cheaDer in Boston than in
Omaha and any material that will afford
relief from the grin OF the lumber barons
OF the south and the northwest should be
most welcome here. Besides the advantage
OF cheapness claimed In Boston, there are
the greater advantage Of durability, Pnd
the reduction of fire risk 10 zero.
The cheapest home of this material built
near Roston cost $4,000. 1t is one and a half
story cottage, 2SxS6. eight rooms and bath
with bays, two large verandas and wide
sweeping caves.

tiop of strong alum water, and then
drying thoroughly. One who has
tried it vouches for the statement that the
process will not injure the colcr or quality
of any writing.
And It is the home builders that are
showing the procession on. With but a few
exceptions, it is the demand for homes
for larger, better houses, for bungalows,
for cottages-that is mono pol.zlng the build
ing situation. One real estate firm alone
has just let contracts for five new bunga-
lows on a new addition, and inquiries came
in so fast that they have ordered plans
for ten more to follow. The aggregate
cost will be $4,000
