TURKEYS THAT ARE WORTH
$50 AND EVEN MORE THAN THAT
That VIII Not Be the General Price Paid for Thanksgiving
Birds But Some Pebble Eat That Kind lone Of President
Taf's Turkeys Valued at 500

The turkey which will be placed be-
fore President TAFT and his family on
Thanksgiving day is being fattened
upon mast and corn in Rhode Island.
It ID a popular belief that the
turkey for the president Is taken from
the same farm year after year and ID
bred for that end. The fact Is that for
many years the turkeys sent to the
White House from Rhode Island have
been birds chosen from the stocks Of
Rhode Island or Connecticut farmers
by an expert In judging the points Of
turkeys. Usually six to dozen prime
turkeys are given to the president Of
the United States, who gives to friends
or to hospitals those which are not
cooked in his kitchen.
In most instances the fine turkeys
given to the president, the chief Justice
of the United States supreme court.
the speaker Of the house, the members
of the cabinet and others OF high place
at Washington are worth for breeding
purposes from $50 to SIS each. The
custom OF giving turkeys to the presi-
dent and others OF eminence In public
life at washington began In the time
OF Pres. John Adams, and from then
up to this time only the very finest
obtainabIe birds have been given.
The total ares. of the farms Of south
ern and western New England that
specialize In very fine turkeys is. as to
runways for the birds, almost the
equivalent OF the area OF the island OF
Manhattan. Turkeys in order to thrive
rmuet have large runways where there
are plenty OF woodland shrubs and
areas sown to crops or lying falIow,
where the turkeys can md plenty III
Insects and certain seeds which are
necessary In order to keep them IN
good health. In recent years the aver

pared with the eggs sat upon has been

and fed with corn and refuse veget-
able matter
The modern method Ii TO keep the
birds under about the conditions that
existed when turkeys were not dornes-
ticated. Nowadays the up to date
turkey farmers let the birds roost In
trees and pick up most of what they
eat In the wood lots aud fields. TO
this end throughout the turkey FARM
ing districts i great many nut bearing
trees have been planted In recent years
ana parts DC the farms are sown with
plants which yield the kinds OF seeds
that wild turkeys like.
The largest and finest turkey that
win 40 to the White House this year

The Lord be praised.
The first cook book which treated
OF the art Of cooking and carving the

the turkey as prepared for roasting

TO DRAIN OR NOT TO DRAIN
A Serious Question Among the
Pineapple Growers.

Some time ago it was announced that
the Franklin Lane Company, owners of
the st. Lucie Gardens property, would
drain the long savannah lying back of
the pineapple ridge between Fort Pierce
and Jensen. Recently the dredging
machinery arrived aud preparations
were made to commence the drainage
canals.
The pineapple growers along the
ridge Immediately entered protest
against it on the grounds that the pres
ence Of the standing waters to the west
of their forms was protection against
cold and alleging that to remove the
water would work irreparable injury to
the pineapple industry by subjecting
the plants to the cold.
There was some talk OF an injunction
to restrain the land company from pro-
ceeding with the drainage, and Mr.. AL
bert Fendig, of Jacksonville the SELL
