Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.-Ephesians v20.
The thankful spirit is the true and sure source
of a happy life. There plenty of things to be
thankful for, and 1t is wise to make an effort to
find them. They are never far away They are
under our control We are their masters God
made us that way We may be in touch with very
disagreeable people, but If we do not like dis
agreeable feelings need not have them. There
are many good things to think of with reference
to such people. Be missionary to them Think
how nice it would be II such person had sweet

We can rejoice and be glad no matter where we
are. Paul and Silas sang hymns while. in Jail
Why not? II was bad enough to be in Jail. God
was good TO them. He revealed to them facts OF
eternal life. These were good things TO think
about, and why should they not enjoy them? To
sing was a reasonable thing to do. God had Civ
en- them something against the day OF trouble and
they used It. Why should not we? What is the
use OF being miserable when we can just as we'll
be happy? God is near us in the joys and com

the rearing of turkeys under seml-domestication-
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 olrds are
permitted to run wild, and are not even turnlshed
with any shelter other than they can find among
the trees and scrub. But plenty of corn Is thrown
about where they can get 1t.
In this artificial wilderness, as 1t might be
called, which covers an area of about 1000 acres,
the turkeys get as 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 are at roost.
But the exposure does them no harm; on the con-
tTary, it renders them exceedingly vigorous, and
they attain huge size, the gobbers sometimes
weighing as much as so pounds when sent to
market.
Every spring a few wild gobblers, trapped for
the purpose in Virginia or the Carolinas, are in.
troduced into the focks Fishers island to con-
tribute fresh blood. This is esteemed 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.
A 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 originally an albino But all Of these
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 its tail is ornamented with eyes like
that of the peacock. 1t is of the most beauti-
full of birds its feathers blazing with metallic re.
