the rearing of turkeys under
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 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-
trary, 1t renders them exceedingly vigorous, and
they attain huge size, the gobblers 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 on Fishers island, to con-
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 in-breeding, 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 was originally an albino. But all of these
are derived from a single species, which is Of
Mexican origin. There is only one other known
species, which is native to Yucatan and Guatema-
la. 1t Is called the "ocellated turkey" owing to
the fact that its tail is ornamented with eyes like
that of the peacock. 1t is one of the most beauti-
full of birds, its feathers blazing with metallic re-
Elections of gold. green. blue and bronze.

yourself the golden city; locate your mansion, re-
ceive your old friends, tell them to come in. Thank
full? How can one help but be thankful? The
Christians spirit is the thankful, happy spirit.
Every person should have it. 1t is the conquering
spirit. 1t never meets defeat. No matter where
one is or how sad the conditions of life, the hopes
of heaven are always bright. The Christian, hap
py spirit always has something worth while to do.
The wickedness Of the world Is round us. Throw
a dash of Gospel sunlight along the pathway of the
sin-suffering friend. A light in the darkness is what
he needs. Smile on him. Let him see your glad
ness when he would expect to see sorrow.
The thankful spirit brings gladness in all condi.
lions of life. There are beautiful characters among
the needy as we'll as in elegant homes on the boule-
wards. If the rich can afford to adorn their homes
and beautify them and pay the price I will enjoy
their beauty and render thanks. There is a differ.

made and are needed for the improvement and com.

schools, no true progress, and what would we do
without the conveniences made possible through
the labor of others. They are necessary to the COM

work of life. God help you to look and see reasons
to be thankful every day Of your life.-Rev. J. B.

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 its 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 int~erbreeding. 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 hat most people would be in
clired to suppose 1t incapable of do
mestication. Such an inference, how
ever, according to the expert, is q
mistaken one. AS a matter of fact,
the bird is not by nature much afraid
of man, but rather tame and soci-
able, so far as human beings are con-
cerned. In Massachusetts during
early colonial days there were great
numbers of wild turkeys, and fire.

fathers Safe, Discovers $4,000.
Easton Pa, Dec. 2S.-Mr. Joseph D.
Unangst, a farmer living near Farm.
ersville. about four miles from this city,
has unexpectedly come into possession
of 100000.
For a number of years Mr.. Unangst
mas had an old iron safe which was
given to him by his father, who in
turn received it from his father. The
safe was red with the rust Of forty
years. 1t was not opened during all
those years, as it was not known to
contain anything of special value. The
door to it was locked, and no key was
known to be around that would unlock
1T. The safe was pushed around from
one corner to another in odd places In
an old building.
Mr.. Unangst decided to sell the safe
to junk dealer to get 1t out Of the
way and realize something on 1T, but
he thought that before he would let it
go out of his hands he would open it
and see If it contained any valuables.
He tried to open it with keys but the
old fashioned lock was rusted and held
fast.
Finally Mr.. Unangst secured an ex-i
~ I e"e S<aie o'eHiiiS diAu 1ie uoor WsdS
drilled open. 1t was then found that
the few compartments in the safe were
filled with money. Mr.. Unangst found
that the pile contained $4,000, all in
gold.
The money is supposed to have been
put into the safe by Mr.. Unangst's
grandfather. who has been dead forty
years.
Grandfather Unangst was farmer,
thrifty and economical, and his sudden
death is taken as the reason for him
not revealing the contents fthe safe.
