the rearing of turkeys under semi-domesticatton-
though in this case the species dealt with is the
tame one. On this island, which is the most sue
cessful turkey farm in the world, the birds are
permitted to run wild, and are not even furnished
with any shelter, other than they can find among
the trees and scrub But plenty of corn is thrown
about where they can get it.
In this artificial wilderness, as it might be
called which covers area of about 1000 acres
the turkeys get close to nature as possible. IN
deed the whole idea of their management is to
let them alone interfering with them as little as
possible In the winter time their heads often
freeze under their wings when they at roost
But the exposure does them no harm; on the con-
trary, it renders them exceedingly vigorous, and
they attain huge size the gobblers sometimes
weighing as much as 80 pounds when sent to
market.
Every spring few wild gobblers, trapped for
the purpose in Virginia the Carolinas, in

tribute fresh blood. This is esteemed a matter of
the utmost Importance. Our tame turkeys are no
toriously difficult birds to rear, under ordinary cir
cumstances, being delicate and liable to epidem-
ics-on which account many farmers have given
up trying to raise them. The reason why is sim
ply that there has been too much inbreeding, and
the stock has lost its hardness.
number of varieties of the tame turkey have
been developed by breeding, the principal ones
being the Bronze, the Buff, the Slate, and the
White, the Black and the Narragansett. The
White was originally an albino But all of these
are derived from single Species which is Of
Mexican origin. There is only one other known
species, which Is native to Yucatan and Guatema-

the fact that it's tail is ornamented with eyes like
that of the peacock. 1t is Of the most beautt-

our greatest game bird from final ex-
tinctiOn.
The wild turkey, of course, is a
species entirely distinct from the
tame bird with the white-meated
breast. One reason why it's preser-
walton is important is that it is
needed to contribute from time to
time it's hardy blood and much-prized
game flavor to the domesticated va
riety by interbreeding. The compar-
atively dark meat of the breast Of
many of the tame turkeys that come
to market nowadays at the Thanks
giving season is attributable to such
matings, which are eagerly sought
by the knowing producer of feath-
cred stock.
The wild turkey is so VIGOROUSLY
shy that most people would be in
clined to suppose it incapable OF do
mestication. Such an inference, how
ever, according to the expert, is a
mistaken one. AS a matter of fact,
the bird is not by nature much afraid
Of man, but rather tame and sOc1-
able, so far as human beings are con-
cerned In Massachusetts during
early colonial days there were great
numbers of wild turkeys, and fire.
quently they made themselves at
home in the close neighborhood of
the dwellings of settlers.
To-day the species is entirely ex-
tinct in New England, and in other
parts of the country the fowl is ex-
tremely wild and hard to shoot-not,
however, because of natural shy
ness of disposition, but simply for
the reason that it has been hunted
