turkey 1880, and that there is OF three
quarters of pound less white meat the domest-
Gated turkey than there is the wild fowl which is
his progentor
The reason for this is simple when learns it.
1t is simply that theturkey, under domestcation, has
been discouraged from flying and has been taught to
use his legs
The breast is formed by the great fight muscles
the birds wings, and naturally these can only hold
their by constant
The wild turkey uses its wings much as any flying
bird and so the breast muscles which work the wings
are strong and thick. The tame turkey has been en-
cOuraged to stay within limited domains and dscour-
aged from flying The consequence is that it uses its
wings rarely, and depends upon its legs The in
eviable result is that the wings smaller all
disused little used organs do while the legs get
steadily bigger and tougher. This is the process that
has been going since the bird first domes-
caed and the results show to-day in marked de-
crease in the size of wings and breast.
Much the have worked in the cases of
the and goose. Everyone knows what little meat
here is the breasts of these two fowls The wild
goose and wild duck have much breast meat than
the tame. This is simply because they fly more. The
domesticated birds have specialized so in swimming

The TURKEY
Is LOSING
Its WHITE
MEAT

T-HE interesting discovery has been made that the
white meat Of the turkey has steadily grown
L less during the last two hundred years, while
the "drumscks" have grown stronger bigger and
snewy. The white meat, every knows is the
breast and the drumsticks the legs of the turkey
The time is fast approaching when the choice turkey
breast will be atenuated that the christmas bird
will have to take second third place at the
board-unless steps taken to curtail its man-made
tendency to to legs,
Measurements that have been carried in this
country and in England seem to prove that there is
average of a quarter of pound less white meat the
turkey of to-day than there the domesticated

1t is not suggested that the turkey will become
tinct. 1t is predicted, however, that the succulent
pleasant white meat" the real joy of Christmas, is
running enormous risk of becoming.
So far as history inform u.s. the turkey native
of North America must have captivated his captors
In England it courted with much eagerness
as American dollars to-day 1t is surmised that
England has to thank Cabot for its introduction in that
country early in 1900. This is as it may be, but the
earliest documentary evidence of its existence in Eng
land is furnished by Cranmer, who in Constitution"
dated 541, refers to the turkey cock of the
greater fowls of which eccesiastic have
