Of the trouble. She writes:

Here is proof that the modern up
start of turkey was already rivaling
in favor the classic capon with the
British farmer.
The Jesuits long were credited
with having introduced the turkey into
France from Spain. This may &C.
count for the lifelong animosity to
the Jesuits OF the great critic Boileau
of Louis XIV.'s time. For Boileau,
as a child, fell one day in his fathers
barnyard, and before ne could pick
himself up was so severely bitten by
two old turkey cocks that he suffered
from the effects for many years aft
erward. What more natural than that
he should hate the Jesuits?
The first official mention of our ma
tional bird in Italy is in 1857, when
the magistrates of Venice, in an ordi-
nance to suppress luxury, forbade its

A century ago wiser heads than his
did not find the question easy to dis
pose OF, and their discussion was i'm
portant enough to attract the atten-
ton of the learned Prof. Beckmann.
Some claimed it was first found in
Africa, whence it was brought in early
days for the banquets of the Romans.
Others believe that, because Of its

German name. kalekuter, led to the
assertion that the first specimens had
been shipped from Calcutta; but those
lnclining 10 CAis opinion were laughed
at by others, who said that kalekuter
was simply the German attempt to
express the birds cry. A few believe
that the bird was an importation from
the new world. And while learned
heads wagged over the problem the
turkey went straight on gobbling its
way into European barnyards.
