Marketing Turkeys.

Marketing Turkeys.
The marketing season for turkeys Is
very short, running from the middle OF
November 10 the latter part of Decem-
Der. Most turkey raisers sell their
birds alive TO poultry dealers, who ell
ther dress them or ship them alive to
city dealers Farmers near the city
markets and particularly those In the
middle Atlantic and New England
states often dress the turkeys and ell
Their sell them direct to the consumer
or to city dealers. In some sections
shortly before Thanksgiving there Is
held what Is known as turkey day. ON
the day before this event every turkey
grower IN the nelghhorhood kills and
dresses his turkeys and the following
morning brings them into town. where
they are bid on aud purchased by what
ever buyers choose 10 be there, the
birds going to the highest bidder.
In sections In which turkeys are
grown IN large numbers, as In Texas,
dressing plants have been built by
poultry dealers, who buy the birds alive
and dress them for the various city
markets. In such cases practically all
the turkey ralsers sell TO these dealers,
who often send buyers out into the
country to gather up drove Of several
hundred birds by stopping at each farm
as they pass, weighing whatever tur-
keys the farmer may have TO sell, and
adding them % those already collected.
Six or eight men can drive flock Of
1000 turkeys ten or twelve miles day.
As soon as possible after the turkeys
are received at the dressing plant they
are killed. dry picked. cooled and pack
cd In barrels or boxes for shipment.

RUSIE'S TERRIFIC SPEED.
fhe Old Pitchers Fast Balls Terrorizec
tho Batters.

In a recent gathering of old ball
players the talk turned on speedy
pitchers. A veteran fielder, now re-
tired, who had batted against nearly
all of the noted pitchers in the last
twenty years, named Amos Rusie
as the universal standard of speed
in shooting the ball across the rub
Der. He said:
"Words fail really to describe the
speed with which Rusie seat the
ball. He was man of great width,
great strength and the ability to
put every ounce of his weight into
The pitch. Coupled with this he
had q set of dazzling curves which
were manufactured with the same
effort required to produce the speed.
Some men can throw a straight ball
with great force, but have to slow
np in ordSr to develop curves, but
Rusie drove in curved ball with all
of his tremendous power.
'Facing Rusie to timid man was
like going into battle must be to an
inexperienced soldier. The distance
was shorter then. Rusie had the
whole box to move around in in
stead of being chained to a slab,
and he simply drove the ball at You
with the force of a cannon.
'1 have stood up to all the great
pitchers of nearly twenty years,
have seen scores of them come and
90, and none of them inspired the
terror in batsman's heart that was
put there by the mighty Rusie. The
ball was like white streak tearing
past you without time to balance
yourself, figure the course of the
ball or take aim at it.
"The fellows with the wide curve
might fool you into reaching out
and missing them, but you weren't
reaching out at Rnsie. You simply
swung at white streak as it hurled
past, and if you took full arm
swing the ball was gone and in the
catcher's hands before you had half
finished the swinging motion.
"The convincing proof of Rusie's
terrible speed was this: If any other
pitcher hit a man the man swore,
limped a moment and went to first.
If Rusie hit man the man retired
from the game and sometimes went
to the hospital. To b hit by Rusie
was worse than to have an ordinary
man smash you with rock. ."-E1-

ART OF lITHOGRAPHf.
Process Of Printing Direct From .
Drawing on Stone.

Lithography, invented about 12O
years ago, has acquired such impor-
tance through extensive application
to business needs that taint of
"commercialism" seems to hang
about it in the minds of many peo-
pie. And yet, not many years after
its discovery by Senefelder, num-
Der of artists showed active ap-
probation of the rich possibilities
which it offered them.
Here was a supple medium, not
calling for a great amount Of tech
nical preparation, flexible to the
artists touch, which it reproduced
with absolute fidelity An auto
graphic art" directly expressing in
dividual style and temperament
without Intervention of any engrav-
er-translator, q process with . wide
variety of possible effects such as no
other one reproductive art offers.
Crayon, pen, ink, brush and scrap
er can be used on the stone, produc-
ing chalk drawings which may
strike the octave from the Eghtest,
most delicate gray to the deepest
black of a rich, velvety texture:
tones rubbed in with a sauce OF
powdered crayon; washes done with
pen and ink; lights brought out by
scraping. And all of this to be
printed in black and white or in
color, as preferred.
The whole process is based On the
lack of affinity between grease and
water. The crayon or ink used in
drawing on the stone is Of a greasy
composition, as is also the ink used
for printing. To print, water is
first applied to the stone, which ac-
cepts it only at the places not drawn
upon. On the other hand, when ink
is applied to the stone it adheres
only to the portions actually cover
ed by the design. The result in
printing is a faithful facsimile on
paper of the drawing on stone. 70
obviate the necessity of handling
the heavy stone, the artist may
draw upon transfer paper" from
which the design is then transferred
to the stone.
Of course, despite this wide range
of possibilities, ithography has its
distinct limits to be respected by
the artist i it's character and its
limitations must be understood by
him.
The rich means of expression
dormant in the stone were utilized
in the first half of the nineteenth
century, particularly in France
Scribnsr's.
