It must be admitted however that the bronze
variety Of turkey not only holds the post Of honor
because of it's size and its rich pumage but also.
in the estimation of many epicures, because of its
flavor as we'll There Is doubt that the size of
the bronze variety-its standard weight ranges
from 16 to 36 pounds-is to be attributed to the
fact that the birds of this family originated from
a cross between the wild and the tame turkey.
For that matter, the wild turkey of North Amer
lea was the ancestor of all our presentday do
nestle turkeys, but the crosses which have
been made in the case of the bronze variety have
been particularly fortunate in inducing mammoth
size However, one of the officials of the depart
ment Of agriculture recently declared that the
bronze turkey had been developed too much in
the direction of size and if he convert the
turkey raisers to his way of thinking we may
see some years hence an era of smaller bronze
turkeys of finer flavor than those regarding
which such enthusiasm has been manifested by
lovers of the good things Of life.
Of course the Wanted bronze variety is not the
whole thing in turkeydom. for there six other
standard varieties. the branches of the family in
addition to the bronze, being, the Narragansett

Many people who think that have been en-
joying pretty appetlzing turkey from time out Of
mind may be surprised to learn that the prestige
of the turkey article of food seriously
threatened few years ago through carelessness
and lack of foresight in breeding methods Not
much said about it, except in the poultry
papers and at the conventions of poultry rasers
but the menace was sufficient to arouse the more
progressive turkey raisers, with the result that
they mended their ways, put ban on inbreed-
ing and went in for the purebred or standard
bred turkey, with the welcome outcome that rich,
new vigorous blood made it's influence felt In
infusing strength and vigor in turkey focks all

Of course, for the grower to net 20 or "a cents

in the markets catering to the wealthy class In

Recent years have witnessed a change in the
methods of shipping turkeys to market Many
fowl are yet hauled to town, as in days or old IN
the farmers wagon, but the largest share OF the
turkeys for city markets are now shipped by eX-
press. Just at Thanksgiving time when turkeys
are coming to market in carload lots many or
the birds make the Journey by fast freight, put
under such conditions man must be sent along
with each car load to feed the birds, so that In
the end it is likely to be just as cheap to SEND
the birds by express, the transit thus being ac-
complished in few hours and no feeding en-
route being necessary. To carry out the present
day policy of haste in transferring the turkeys
from the farms to the dinner tables OF the folk
in towns and cities, find special automobile
trucks waiting at the railroad stations to receive
the Grated birds as they are unlOaded from the
cars, and these motors rush the turkeys without
loss of time to the commission houses, hotels or
other destinations. few years ago car load
of live turkeys a shipment of such unusual
size to cause comment. Mondays such con-
sgnments are handled by the hundreds at
Thanksgiving time and a load of live tur-

fatten in prime condition. Such weather condi-
tons also tighten the cares Of the farmer who
does not devote his entire attention to turkeys,
and who usually has so many other responsible
ties that he is mighty glad when the turkeys can
shift for themseves-to say nothing of the bene-
tit to his pocketbook. These farmers and poul-
try raisers, it may be added, about the only
classes in our national community who never
need give thought to bird for the home table
on Thanksgiving. There Is always some sort OF
turkey for the gathering round the festive board
at the homestead We may digress for moment,
600, to add that in late years there has come
great change in sentiment the part Of many
or the farmers as to the Thanksgiving turkeys
for their own tables. In days gone by there
was often a disposition to regard almost any old
gobbler as sufficient for the home folks. All the
choice birds were sent to market, because they
would bring the best prices, and the farmer and
his household not infrequently had to put up
with the leavlngs as 1t were Latterly, however,
as greater prosperity has come to so many OF
the farmers there is a growing disposition to re-
gard the best too good for the kings Of
the SOIL and this applies to turkeys to every
thing else. Consequently it is usual for the
progressive farmer to retain of his tenderest
birds for the kith and kin that break bread with
him on Thanksgiving, and not infrequently the
chosen bird has been singled out from the others
long in advance and is specially fattened in ac
cordance with the tastes of the family
There has been much discussion on the part OF
the public in recent years regarding the compare
tive scarcity Of small turkeys-that Is six to eight
pound birds-in the Thanksgiving market. There
is difficulty in fixing the responsibility for this
disappearance of the small turkeys 1t Is due to
the growing tendency among turkey raisers to
devote their best efforts to the bronze variety
of fowl-the largest variety of the bird. The
lure Of the American love of bigness has made
itself felt in the turkey realm, and the 80 to So
pound birds which have attracted much atten-
ton at fashionable hotels and on banquet boards
have come to be regarded the most desirable
specimens Of that fowl, which becomes for
day each year our national bird.
