How Sunday Reaches the Frontier.

How Sunday Reaches the Frontier.
High principle and humor have ever
made an irresistible combination.
Early merchants on the American
frontier conspicuously failed in the OBJ
servance of Sunday; therefore, when
a young New Jersey trader, who had
settled in Louisville, Kentucky, closed
his store on the first Sunday after it
was opened, there was much ado in
the town.
Other establishments kept open;
had he not noticed 1t? he was asked.
Yes, he knew it. Why did he close?
He was the first to do so; he must
know that, also.
Why" said a facetious merchant,
Sunday hasn't yet crossed the noun.
tains."
Yes, it has," declared the newcom-
er, pleasantly. 81 brought it with me!'
That simple and ready reply proved
more effective than any amount of ar
gument, and although he was the first
to observe the day in town, he soon
had many followers in Sunday-closing.

Many city family man, when he
comes to pay from five to seven dol
lars for his Thanksgiving turkey this
fall, will be quite ready to affirm that
personally he has no objection to the
passing of the turkey, even as holi-
day piece de resistance.
Prices of turkeys this year are high
er than ever before. Last year in
the largest cities, first-class birds
brought from IS to 80 cents per pound
and a five-dollar bill was hardly ade-
quate to secure bird that would suf-
ficiently serve an ordinary-sized fam
lily.
This year prices will be higher still,
in spite Of the fact that dealers have
been securing the country for
months, making contracts in advance,
and putting into cold storage every
bird that could be secured, long be-
fore the holiday season opened,
The fact is that fewer turkeys are
being raised every year, the decline
in the industry having started six or
seven years ago, when the terrible
disease Of blackhead began to destroy
the flocks in the New England states.
The ravages of this disease have be-
come so great that in Rhode Island,
which was once the great turkey state,
none are now being raised. The dis
ease has spread to other states
throughout the east, and its ravaging
effects have been SO disastrous that
thousands of farmers in New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and New
Hampshire all formerly good turkey
states, have practically given up the
business.
This disease has invaded the west
to some extent, but it's ravages have
been checked because the means of
preventing it are now much better un-
derstood than ever before, owing to
the Industrious and intelligent inves-
legations started several years ago by
the Rhode Island Experiment station,
and supplemented by the work of the
United States department Of agricul-'
ture.

can be quickly housed. In foreign
countries turkeys are driven to mar.
ket in fiocks, and we once saw flock
of nearly 300 birds being driven along
the highway to the railroad station
three miles from the farm, where they
were to be cooped and shipped to the
city market.
The best-known varieties in Ameri-
ca are the Bronze, Naragansett, Buff
and Black. The Boubon Red is fine
bird, coming originally from the noun
tains of Kentucky, where it flourished
in wild state for many years. The
black turkey Of America came from
England, where it is known as the
Norfolk.
The bronze turkey, which is proba-
bly, the most popular turkey in this
country, was originated in England,
through the crossing of an American
wild bird upon the black turkey.
The North American wild turkey
was at one time very plentifully dis
tributed over the entire country from
the Carolinas to Canada, and most
plentiful to the sections sub-divided,
as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky.
They were migratory, following the
food supply, often wandering distances
Of from 200 to 300 miles in search of
their favorite food, following the crops
into the localities where the season
afforded the greatest production.
These early wild turkeys visited the
barnyards of the early settlers of the
country where tame turkeys, brought
over from the old countries, were
kept, and the result was great i'm
provement in all qualities of this bird
Breeders were quick to observe this
improvement, and sought wild COB
blers to cross upon their domestic
birds. It is from this cross that our
highest standard turkeys have been
bred. They have been SO carefully
selected, mated and cared for, by the
fanciers, that there has been produced
perhaps the most beautifully plumaged
and noblest table bird in the world.
Unfortunately, like the wild pigeon,
the wild turkey has almost disap-
peared from this country. A turkey
does not mature until it is about three
years old, and to obtain strong and
vigorous offspring, hens from two to
three years old should be mated to
strong, active males of the same age,
should never be taken from the same
family, and no breeder should go into
the business unless he Is willing to
start with the standard bred stock.
The critical time in the lives Of
turkeys is in the first six weeks. They
are tender little things, and must be
kept dry and warm until the red be-
gins to show on their heads. They
should never be turned out when the
dew is on the grass, but may be con.
fined in large yard, where they can
have plenty of exercise. When they
are old enough to run out on the
range with the mother hen, they must
be brought in before every storm, and
always at night.
Buyers in all parts of the country
are numerous, and are quite ready to
take the live birds on foot at the
farm, and thereby saving the owner
all trouble of shipping and marketing.
OF course, if the birds are slaughtered
on the farm and properly packed in
clean white paper and new boxes. they
will bring a price enough higher to
pay for the labor involved.
