yender will bring it alive to his door for inspec-
tim, fresh from the farm.
North of the Rio Grande the turkey was equally
well known and treasured. The celebrated expe-
dition of Coronado, between 1927 and 1547, pene-
trated this UNEMPLOYED region west of the Missis-
sippi. His explorations were chiefly In what Is
today Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, the home
Of the cliff dwelling Indians OF the Southwest In
all the Indian villages, according to those early
explorers, turkeys were to be found, both wild
and domesticated.
Present day scientists have found enclosures
in these villages which were at one time used as
cages for wild turkeys, which were herded to-
gether, later to be domesticated. The wild focks,
according to the chronicles Of Coronado, were
many times a welcome sight to these explorers.
as turkeys often made a toothsome addition to a
larder otherwise too scanty for comfort
Cortes, in one Of his letters written about 1913,
mentions the turkey. He carried specimens Of
the bird to Spain in 1890, where they came into
Immediate popularity, and the breeding of turkeys
soon became established. 1t was then that the
turkey became known as "pavos" on account Of
his relationship to the peacock, which was then
called "payo real'-the fowl of kings.
It was a long time before the turkey reached
France, for the first turkey eaten there was at
the wedding of Charles TX and Elizabeth of Aus
tria. June 81, 1870, or so years after Spain had
first tasted the bird.
It's introduction into England seems to have
been in 1924. But, whenever it was, it soon came
into popular favor and was given such local
names as Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge.
It is an interesting fact that descendants of the
parent stock were carried to New England, where,
crossed with the original turkey already there,
they began the breed that has spread from one
end of the country to the other.
AS in this country, the turkey has come to be
looked upon elsewhere as a holiday feast attrac-
ton. In Spain, especially during Christmas time,
the markets are alive with the voluble arguments
Of the vendors and purchasers and with the una
vailing protests of the victims. In Madrid some
Of the principal streets are crowded with troops
of these birds driven in from the country farms.
In the early colonial days turkeys were still
abundant in Massachusetts, the rest of New Eng
land, Maryland, Virginia, the C~arolinas and F4ori-
Ola, while in the last named states the turkey is
still found as q native wild fowl, although in
greatly decreased numbers.

what had also been said, that they
will not abandon this struggle to

The Germans are no longer utiliz-
ing green troops in the West F1an-

French Claim Gains.
In France, from the northwest to
the southeast, there have been en-
gagements of lesser importance, in
which, according to the French re-
port, General Jofre's armies have
succeeded in gaining ground and
Strengthening their positions.
The Germans continue to destroy
bridges and railways in Belgium, but

was driven across the User. The

island inhabited by a tribe of Indians, the Pa
munkeys. They are part OF the Powhatans, and
under an old colonial treaty they pay no taxes
and have their own government. They must,
however, send to the governor of Virginia each
year a gift of game or fowl; and very often this
gift takes the form of several large. plump tur-
keys.
Many have been the explanations made as to
how the bird now SO popular at Thanksgiving
came to be called the turkey, most of which, to
the scientist, are nothing bat fanciful One such
is the explanation that it comes from the East
Indian word ~toka, which, In Hebrew, takes the

the original of the present turkey
the West India islands, it Is genefaiy conooueu
that all turkeys have descended In some way oi
other from the three forms known TO-DAY as lne
North American, the Mexican ana te
the ocellated varieties.
The Mexican turkey is found WIG throughout

ly with bronze. while all its feathers are tipped

The Honduras turkey today Is scattered all ovef
most of Central America and is extremely wild,
The bronze turkey, that variety which today
holds the place of honor in the North American
group of turkeys, is outdone by none when 1t
comes to beauty or size. Black, beautifully shad
ed with a rich bronze, the breast plumage being
dark bronze illuminated with a lustrous finish OF
coppery gold, its pfumage gives full warrant for
the name by which this bird is known.
The full-grown, healthy bird is a beautiful pic
ture Of bronze, black, copper and gold, and some
times weighs 40 or more pounds. Other varieties
known in the barnyard, and even recognized
among dealers as having distinctive markings, are
in reality only highly developed fowls with pre-
served peculiarities.
In the United States there are six standard va
rieties recognized and grown. These are the
bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, white and black.
The chief differences are in size and color of
plumage.
The bronze and Narragansett are the largest.
the buff and slate medium, while the white and
black are the smallest. Within late years, how.
ever, the white variety has reached such point
of popularity that it has increased in size until
with some dealers it occupies third place.
Whatever the turkey may have missed through
failing to secure that place of honor suggested for
it by BENJAMIN Ftanklin-as the national bird
it has nevertheless found a place in the regard
of the American people which is held by no othe,
fowl.
Time was when a turkey, or as many as could
be carried, might be had for the asking. Then
came the period when SO cents would buy a plump
young fowl. Even SO short a time as ten years

cents a pound. dressed.
