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

TT OUSEWIVES contemplating the L annual Thanksgiving dinner lit-
 tie realize the months of prep
 aration 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 gaudy sides oranges, apples, grapes and nuts all await the call of the epi- cure.
 A trip to a market gives the iayman an insight into the real business of tity of rural folk lore which is illu- minating. Wandering around the wag- ons which line the sidewalks of the market space, reporter the other day came upon an old resident of Virginia "a man with whiskers and a magnifi- cent quid of tobacco and small sup ply of turkeys, the last named alive and protesting vigorously against the confinement of their crates.
 After a little preliminary conver- sation the old farmer dilated 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.
 Biggest fool bird in the world" he confided to the reporter. They ain't nothin' in the world that I've ever found that's as big an idjut as tur- key"
 Tn what way?" was asked.
 "In every way" replied the farmer. q believe that the words not sense enough to come in out of the rain was written to describe a turkey. Did you ever know, for instance, that a turkey can drown itself during rain- storm?"
 "What!" ejaculated the reporter.
 Fact" said the farmer. "Them there birds hold up their heads during rainstorm exactly as if they was trying to swallow the whole creation. Naturally, they can't drink the entire output. And tell you as a fact, that I've found cases where they man. aged to drown themselves"
 Continuing on the peculiarfties of the bird, the old man said:

These Jobs Are Healthy.

Breweries and tanneries and print ing-ink factories confer an exemption from tuberculosis, and employees in turpentine factories never have rheu- matism. Copper mining excludes the possibility of typhoid among the work CTS. Shepherds enjoy remarkable health. Men and women working in lavender, whether gathering or distill- ing it, are said never to suffer from neuralgia or nervous headache.
 Lavender, moreover, is as good as a sea voyage for giving tone to the sys- tenn. Persons suffering from nervous breakdown frequently give their serv- ices gratis to lavender planters in or: der that they may build up their vital ity.
