Original Of Our Turkey

and from the landing of the first set

boards in this country. While imported
turkeys were brought over from Eu-

native to North America were found to
be of high quality. The American
the union of the wild turkey with the
imported domesticated variety
1t is claimed that the original of our
Indies. 1t was taken first to Mexico by
the Spaniards and afterward, in 1920,
to Europe. 1t is generally accepted
fact that all the turkeys of the world
forms, known as the North American
the Mexican and the Honduras or ocel-
lated turkey. all of which are native
to this hemisphere. About six standard
varieties of turkeys are recognized by
poultry breeders of this country, the
chief difference between them being i'll
their size and the color of their plum
age. The bronze and the Nara gansett
are the largest and the black and white
the smallest.
In different parts of the south turkey
running becomes an important indus
try for number Of people a short time
before Thanksgiving. man will go
along regular route of farms buying
turkeys few at time and collecting
them in droves. He may have several
assistants. who will help him to line
up hundreds of turkeys in a manner
similar to a drove of cattle. Strange to
say. the turkeys follow along quite
docilely when collected in this way
and there is little difficulty caused by
their running away. They are driven
into the town from which they are to
be shipped or prepared for cold stor-
age.
1t is not unusual to see several thou
sand turkeys driven through the street
in perfectly orderly manner
In Cuero, Tex, a great celebration is
held now on turkey driving day. The
date of this day is fixed beforehand by
turkey buyers. who will have the cars
ready to ship all the turkeys which can
be collected at that point. After the
birds have all been collected the town
makes merry in carnival fashion.

OUR THANKSGIVING
TURKEY.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

On November IS a special train pull
ed out of Morristown. Tenn, bearing
a most unusual class of passengers.
The train was completely made up of
cars specially designed to carry live
turkeys in the most luxurious fashion.
II was a long train and each car con-
tanned from 1900 to 1900 live turkeys
each, in good condition for the Thanks
giving dinner table. The train was
billed directly through to New York
with a special provision for dropping
off several cars at Philadelphia.
The special cars for this unique train
were planned to give to these fowls ac
commodation de luxe upon what is
generally their first as we'll as
their last journey. No pains were
spared to provide for their COM
fort. The cars were thirty-six feet
long and nine feet wide. Each was
personally conducted. for in addition
TO the compartments for the fowls a
stateroom is arranged in the center for
the use of the man in charge An
aisle extends the length of the car. and
on each side are stacked the coops for
feed and water troughS which can be
pulled out into the aisle to be filled
and pushed back like drawer. A
water tank at the top of each car
holds 357 gallons. 1t has hose at
tachment reaching all the compart-
incnts. Below the car is a granary
eight feet square reached by a trap
,roor in the floor of the stateroom. The
ears are so arranged that any single
coop could be removed in transit in
cas- any fowl die or should become ill.
thereby keeping the whole load in
healthy condition The coops are piled
IN tiers eight feet high. those contain
ing the hen turkeys being usually near
est the top.
The bringing of this trainload of tur-
keys from the south each year is one of
the proofs that New England no longer
stands first in the turkey production of
the country. The turkey production of
the north has been steadily declining for
the past ten years, and the south is only
able to partially supply the deficit. Ten
nessee is now leader in turkey produc-
ton, although Texas produces larger
numbers, and the Kentucky turkeys have
lately come into prominence for their ex-
cellent quality.
