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

TT OUSEWIVES contemplating the
~ 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 cpl
cure.
A trip to market gives the 1ayman
an insight into the real business of
Thanksgiving, and incidentally a guam
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 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 CONVEX
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 amt
nothin' in the world that I've ever
found that's as big an idjut as tur-
key"
'In what way7" was asked.
''In every way" replied the farmer
II 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 q
turkey can drown itself during a rain
storm"
"What!" calculated 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 I tell you as fact.
that I've found cases where they man
aged to drown themselves"
Continuing on the peculiarities Of
the bird, the old man said:
They're helpless critters, too. Amt
got as much gumption about them as
a chicken. And frail--let me tell you,
young man, that a turkey is the great
est natural-born invalid In the world.
They have to be watched every minute
or the first thing you know they'll up
and die on you without a seconds
warning.
II been raisin' turkeys for years
and years-had good luck with 'em,
too. But I reckon / don't understand
more than half about them. Nobody
does-particularly why the Creator
when he made 'em, didn't give 'em
minds"
\ "Does that apply to wild turkeys as
well as the tame ones7" asked the re.
porter.
The old man spat thoughtfully and
profusely at a chip of wood In the
street. He hit the mark.
"As to that" he said, II can't exact.
~ say. "Mebbe there's something In
the idea that turkey, when he's tane
gets so used to havin' folks make q
fuss over him that he jest naturally
loses all his ambition. There's one
thing certain--if every wild turkey
was as big a fool as some that I've
raised there wouldn't be live wild
turkey In the United States within 9
year."-Washington Star.
