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 1urnlsneo
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 an area of about 1900 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, it 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 it's 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 it's 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.

=: Tl1lt full Heart

Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ-Ephesians V:20.
The thankful spirit IS the true and sure source
of a happy life. There are plenty Of things to be
thankful for, and it 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 we need not have them. There
are many good things to think of with reference
to such people. Be a missionary to them. Think
how nice 1t would be If such a person had a sweet
disposition and let your own radiate its virtues.
We can rejoice and be glad no matter where we
are. Paul and Silas sang hymns while In jail.
Why not? It 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
forts OF life as well as in our trials and tempta-
tons. We have good reasons to be thankful un-
der all conditions of life. The sun always shines
no matter about the clouds. Daylight tsa good
thing but the best thing A., God created us in his

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. It 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-
tons of life. There are beautiful characters among
the needy as we'll as in elegant homes on the boule-
Yards. If the rich can afford to adorn their homes
and beautify them and pay the price 1 will enjoy
their beauty and render thanks. There is a differ
ence in mems natural attachments. They are God
made and are needed for the improvement and COM
fort of mankind. Without them there could be no
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
forts of our homes and in every department of the
work Of life. God help you to look and see reasons
to be thankful every day Of your life:--Rev J. B.
MacGufhn.

our greatest game bird from final eX-

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 m~uch-prtZeC
game flavor to the dOmesticated va
K1ety by interviewing. The cOmpar
atiVely dark meat of the breast OF
many of the tame turkeys that come

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
cltned TO suppose it incapable of do
meSticatiOn. Such an inference, how
ever, according to the expert, Is a
mistaken AS a matter of fact,
tie bird is not by nature much afraid
OF man, but rather tame and sOci-
able, SO far rs 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.
