THE HOUSEHOLD
GETTING THE TURKEY READY

Carefully pluck the Bird" says an old
family cook book, "singe it with white
paper and wipe it thoroughly with a
cloth; the outside merely requires wiping
gizard, and be particular not to break
the gallbag. as no washing will remove
the bitter taste it imparts where it once
touches"
You may feel that all this preliminary
work does not affect the modern house
wife, for She buys her turkey all picked
and drawn. But there you are wrong.
For there are ever SO many folk who go
forraging for their own turkeys now
days. Provided you have an automobile
of any description. you may do this and
thereby considerably reduce the cost of
the Thanksgiving or Christmas bird.
Always within distance readable by
your car there are farmers who may
have a few turkeys, and by making ar
rangements before hand you may be able
to get one Of these fine birds at price
that Is much more agreeable to you and
would purse than the bird that you would
buy at the butchers. But, of course,
there is the disadvantage that you nave

Then the old family cook Sook goes on
to tell you how to stuff the bird, and
then goes on: BE particular that the
turkey is firmly trussed. Dredge it
lightly with flour. and put piece of
