TURKEY An "|DJUT"
At Least That Is the Opinion
Farmer Has of the Great
American Bird.

OUSEWTVES contemplating the
~ annual Thanksgiving dinner lit
tie realize the months of prep
nrntlon which preceded the
feast. Their cranberries are on the
market. Turkeys, dressed and ready
for the oven; huge yellow pumpkins,
with the earth still clinging to their
guudy sides; oranges, apples, grapes
and nuts all await the call OF the epI'
cure.
A trip to a market gives TIE Iayman
al insight into the real business Of
Thanksgiving, and incidentally Il guam
tity Of rural folk lore which is illu-
minating. Wandering around the wag-
ons which line The sidewalks of the
market space, a reporter the other day
came upon an old resident of Virginia
IA man with whiskers and a magniii-
cent quld Of tobacco and II small sup
ply of turkeys, the last named alive
and protesting vigorously against the
confinement of their crates.
After a little preliminary CONVEX.
sntion the old farmer dllated upon the
ways Of the great American fete bird
and In his conversation knocked the
pedestal upon which the fowl Is placed
squarely from under its feet.

confided TO the reporter. 'Thcy amt

there birds hold up their heads during
q rainstorm exactly as II they was
trying TO swallow the whole creation.
Naturally, they can't drink the entire
output. And l tell you as u fact,
that I've found cases where they man
aged to drown themselves"
Continuing on the p~eculiarities of
the bird, the old man said:
They're helpless critters. too. Amt
