ica in 1921, Governor Bradford or dered a day of thanksgiving, and thus the Day of Thanks became a part of ernors of New Amsterdam took up were appointed by them from time to time. During the Revolution the Continental Congress ordered a day of thanksgiving each year.
 Washington's Proclamation Modern.
 When George Washington became President in 17S9 both Houses of Congress recomm ended that he issue a proclamation for a day of prayer and thanksgiving. This he did. set ting aside Thursday, November the twenty-sixth, as the day. The docu- ment was a long one and suggested thanks for the enjoyment of "civil and religious liberty the new Con- stitution and the Constitutional Laws honestly and faithfully observed The next Ina hanksgiving proclamation was sent out by Washington in 1795, and is mot unlike those of the present day. In this he recommends to the people the giving of thanks to God for Con- stitutions which establish law and or der, and for prayer that the land may be safe asylum for the unfortunates of other countries. He begged that people establish habits of sobriety, or der, morality and purity. He also de- c1ared that the nation should give thanks for its condition when it re- viewed the calamities which had afflicted other nations. He also gives thanks for the suppression of the

ment stuck through the paper. Now the President writes it on the type writer and perhaps the time is not far distant when he will talk into a disk-like arrangement and it will be copied from a photograph. Later 1t may be sent to all the cities of the world by simply operating a set of electric buttons.
 How The Documents Are Preserved.
 It is interesting to know how the document is prepared and given to the public, and how each one is pre- served for all time After it has been written the original document is copied on the typewriter and the copies are given out to the newspapers through out the country with a date of re- lease; that is, a fixed time when it shall be published. Then it is sent to the Government printers and copies are typed on heavy official parnr.. The signature of the President is also in type and to the left of the sigma ture and above the signature of the Secretary of State is the reservation for the Seal. These copies are sent t to the Bureau of Archives where the custodian preserves them. The copies of the document are carefully kept on racks while the one bearing the official signature of the President is placed in a meta1-lined wooden case, capable of protecting papers for cen- turies. The metal cases line the walls of the Bureau of Archives. Every year experts examine the cases to see that none of the older copies suffer from dry rot or other ailments to which even fine official paper is sub- ject.
 The signatures of the Presidents differ widely for there one sees Lincoln's irregular letters, Grants tiny signature, Arthur's bold handwriting, Roosevelt's queer. half legib1e letters. Taft's big characteristic subscription, and President Wilson's plain, straight signature. The splendid condition of the proclamations is due to the ex- cellent care given them by the cus- todian of the archives, who guards them as carefully as a gardener watches his tender flowers.

WhiSkey InSurrection in Pennsylvania
 In May, 179S, John Adams set aside a day of prayer and fasting on account and demands of a foreign power evinced by repeated refusals to re- ceive messengers of reconciliation and peace lon account of depredations on our commerce and the inf1iction of injuries on very many of our fel- low citizens while engaged in their lawful business on the high seas.'' He implored the mercy and benedic- tion of Heaven for our country. The country to which he referred was France.
 James Madison's proclamation was similar in character when he set aside the third Thursday in August as a day of humiliation and prayer" on ac- count of our war with England. A year later he issued another Thanks giving proclamation in which he inn p1ored an all wise Providence to stop the tactics of the British in their burning of our public building at the national capital. After peace had been declared Madison proclaimed the second Thursday in April, 1915, as a day to give thanks for the peace that had once more dawned upon the na- ton.
 Lincoln's Sorrowful Words. From 1915 to 1861 there were no Thanksgiving proclamations issued by the Presidents of the United States, but during this interval the Governors of the New England States set apart days of Thanksgiving. During the

Originally A Wild Variety.

The Bourbon Red-known also as Bourbon Butternut and Kentucky Red-is believed by some authorities to have been originally wild form found in southern Iowa, Missouri, and Northern Arkansas. -t has only late ly become recognized by breeders as a standard variety. In color it is dark or brownish red, with white in wings and tail. tips of feathers bluish bronze, undercolor almost white. in some cases buff; in average weight it almost reaches that of. the Bronze variety.
 The Slate turkey is in color an ashy or slaty blue throughout, usually spotted with black, with the female generally of lighter color than the male. They are average size. the standard weights ranging from twelve pounds for bullet to twenty-seven pounds for an old male.
 The origin of the White Holland turkey is unknown. How they acquired the name of Holland is un- known, as they are not natural to Holland. In English poultry books they are referred to as "Austrlan Whites" and have been reared ln England for over hundred years. White turkeys were formerly very delicate and rather small but with careful breeding with white sports from either the Bronze or Narragan- sett varieties, they have increased in size and vigor, although the adnix- ture of blood has darkened the color of sh anls and plumage.
 The Black turkey was for time almost forgotten and quite neglected, but of. late more attention has been given it, greatly to it's advantage and improveme ent along the lines of mar ketable qualities.
 The Black turkey of today is almost large as the Bronze, and fully its equal in many ways. This is due to crosses made with Bronze turkeys and to prop CT selection thereafter.

but once a year from the middle of November to the latter part of De- cember. Most turkey raisers sell their birds alive to turkey dealers, but the farmers near the city markets, par ticu1arly in the middle Atlantic and New England States, often dress their turkeys and sell them direct to the city dealers or to the consumers, and in this way command better prices.
 t'In some sections of the country, and particularly in Texas, the turkey raisers have what is called Turkey Day. which is practically great tur- key market and comes some time be- fore thanksgiving. A few days prior to this event the turkey raisers bring their stock, either live or dressed, to the chosen center, and spectators go through the country buying up all they can gather. The fowls are brought in great droves of thousands

power and influence in the cause and enlightenment of the distant seas and lands were the themes of his procla- nation. He also referred to the Boxer troubles ill China.
 When Roosevelt became President his first Thanksgiving proclamation contained a reference to the assassina- tlon Of President Mckinley when he wrote-"This Thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of a great and good Presi- dent" Each year of his official ten ure he injected something original in the document. For instance, in 1904, just as he was about to be elected President, he wrote, Reward has waited upon honest effort" Much has been given to us and much will be expected of us."
 Taft's proclamations were short and contained nothing out of the ordinary.
 Wilson Writes On Typewriter.
 President Wilson usually spends less than an hour in writing the docu- ment, and perhaps another hour in polishing up line here and there that does not suit his keenly analy- tical mind which has such a wonder full regard for word values. His first proclamation was remarkable in many ways. It was the first Demo- cratic Thanksgiving Proclamation in twenty years and was entirely differ ent from that of his predecessors. Two simple Biblical phrases added much to the document and brought his feelings in the matter of peace Righteousness exalteth nation,' and Peace on earth, good will to- wards men" furnish the only founda- tions upon which can be built lasting achievements of the human spirit. The year has brought us the satisfaction of work well done and fresh visions of our duty which will make the work of the future better still. Truly a prophetic document!

 Grant Speaks Of Civil War.
 General Grants proclamation in 1869 still savored of the Civil War when he prayed for the restoration of the people as a nation and hoped that the marks of the past conflict had been obliterated. In 1878 he asked the people to pray that the lingering results of the civil strife would soon pass away. Two years la ter he dwelt on the wisdom and beauty of the Thanksgiving in our country. A year later, Centennial Year, 1876, President Grant called for a special Thanksgiving on July 4th.
 The four proclamations of Presi- dent Hayes are similar, as in each he dwelt especially upon the excellent crops and the fact that we were at peace with all the world.
 Just aftef President Garfield's death in 1881, Chester A. Arthur made a pathetic reference to the nations loss in the death of Garfield. A year later he begged the people to give to charity on Thanksgiving Day-a suggestion which has been made in proclama- tions of later Presidents.
 Grover Cleveland recomm ended that the day be one for family re- unions as well as of prayer. When Benjamin Harrison became the Chief Executive he proclaimed a special day of thanksgiving on April 30, 1889, to commemorate the centennial anni- versary of our Government. His Thanksgiving Proclamations were sim liar to those of the preceding Chief Executives.
 Mckinley And The Spanish War. The always gentle and much be- loved Mckinley in 1898 varied from the conventional form by referring to the Spanish-Am erican War. He re- gretted that it had been necessary to take up the sword and rejoiced at it's brief duration. A year later he made reference to the conclusion of peace with Spain and of the troubles in the Philippines. In 1900 the ex- tension of our commerce and of our

 Turkey Increasing In Popularity.

There has never been more active demand for market turkeys than dur ing the past ten years. and there is no reason why this should not in- crease very materially in the coming years with the growth of population.
 The turkey is now used in many more ways than formerly. It is not only used for roasting but also to an increased extent as cold cuts for sand wiches and salads, and large numbers of poults are used as broilers. No dish is more valued in large cities than the broiled poult.
 Turkeys which are matched early in the spring should grow to weigh from fourteen to twenty pounds by Thanksgiving. These weights are often exceeded by the best growers, but the question of profit from keep ing turkeys simply resolves itself into the ability of the grower to bring them to marketable size.
 The very large turkeys are not the most profitable either to grow or to sell. The medium sizes-from nine to eighteen pounds dressed-are most de- sirable for family use.
 The Bronze turkey, probably a cross between the wild and the tame tur key, is the largest turkey purchased. The standard weight of the Bronze bird, which probably inherits both its bronze-tinted plumage and it's weight from its wild progenitor, ranges from sixteen to thirty-six pounds according to age and sex Probably more of this variety are grown each year than of all the others.
 The Narragansett turkey comes next to the Bronze in size. It is of black ground color, each feather ending with a band of steel gray, edged with black. This imparts a grayish cast to the en- tire surface plumage.
 Non of the several varieties of tur- keys is more desirable than this for all purposes. The standard weights of the Narra gansett birds are, for males, twenty to thirty pounds, ac- cording to age; for females. twelve to HishtA~sa no,1nds,
