does not bother the birds of Fishers
Island.
In the first year during which this
new method was adopted, a lot of
turkeys were turned loose on Fishers
Island and allowed to shift for them
selves, food being provided. AS was
expected. many of them died. The
next year more pershed, but those
which survived were the hardy ones,
and, the weaklings having been weeded
out, became the progenitors of an i'm
proved race. The whole idea Of this
turkey farm is to get as close as pos
sible to nature.
one reason why these turkeys fetch
so high a price is that their meat has
a strong game flavor. The white meat
has slightly brownish color. owing

Each spring from a dozen to twenty

crat OF the farmyard. Its high
market price commands for 1t a
- corresponding respect. Twenty
five years ago Thanksgiving turkey
cost 20 or 22 cents a pound; one
might even pay 25 cents. This year
60 cents will be cheap; many people
will pay 80 cents or a dollar.
Naturally, the price of turkey has
gone up with other prices. But there
are two particular reasons for its eX-
traordinary ascent. One is that the
everyday workingman, earning such
wages as formerly he did not dream
of now insists on having his turkey,
even II he has to pay eight or ten
dollars for 1t. The other is that there
are fewer turkeys hatched and reared.
There are not enough to go around.
In 1900 there were 6,594,655 turkeys
in the United States; today there are
hardly more than half that number.
Prices Of other things may drop, but
never again shall we see cheap tur-
keys. They have become a luxury,
and they will remain such.
In Texas, which is a great turkey
raising State, flocks of several hun
dred are not uncommon, and in Call
fornia one may occasionally see a flock
Of 1000 or more. But most of our
turkeys are raised on farms-a few
on each. AS the population becomes
denser, the area available for turkey
range lessons. Turkeys to thrive must
have plenty Of room, and many turkey
raisers have given up the business
because their turkeys. wandering into
the grain fields of adjacent farms,
have caused the ill-will of owners.
Where Turkeys Are Remunerative
Under favorable conditions, with
plenty of range available, turkey
raising is very profitable. This re-
mark applies particularly to grain or
stock farms. where the birds will
board themselves most of the year,
feeding on grasshoppers and other in
sects, green vegetation. seeds of weeds
and grasses. acorns and nuts and
waste grain.
But even nowadays the farmer gets
only a small fraction of the price paid
by the ultimate consumer for
Thanksgiving turkey. what comes 10
him varying from l2 cents pound in
Texas 10 II cents a pound in New
York State and 25 cents in New Eng
land. As usual, It is the middleman
who makes the money, and there are
several middlemen, through whose
hands the turkeys pass on their way
from the farm TO the final purchaser.

Carolinas, are fetched to the island to
serve as male heads of the focks.
Thus new blood direct from the forest
is constantly being introduced TO keep
up the strength and other desirable
qualities of the breed. Even a small
percentage of wild blood increases the
size of the birds and alters strikingly
for the better their form and general
appearance.
The "Ocellatcd" Turkey
There is in Yucatan q third variety
of turkey not hitherto reduced to
domestication. which is one OF the
most beautiful Of feathered creatures.
1t is about the same size as our wild
turkey, but of more brilliant colora-
ton, with "eyes" sprinkled over its tail
like those which adorn the tail of the
peacock. Its bare head and neck are
covered with bright red wart-like ex-
crescenses; It's back and rtimp are blue

DETAILS OF POGROMS IN THE
DISTRICT OF PINSK.

Warsaw: (By I. J. P. b. Materials
collected by the Jewish deputies to
the Polish Diet contain horrible de-
tails Of the last pogroms perpetrated
by the army Of General Balachovitch
in the region Of Pinsk. The number
Of dead is now estimated to be one
thousand. Jews who were not slaugh-
tered in the massacres, were robbed
Of their means Of livelihood and left
entirely destitute. They are now with
out shoes or clothing and in dire need
and distress.
Following details give a picture Of
conditions as developed in the report.
In the village Of Mofra, Balacho-
vitch's men kidnapped the eighteen
year-old daughter Of Susskind Rubin
stein and later seized also her brother
and father. 1t became known later
that the bandits have violated the
girl thirty times and finally cut off
her head. The bodies Of the victims
father and brother we're later found
beside that Of the girl.
In the village Of Bichva, Schmerl
Bromberg was killed by the soldiers
without any reason, in broad daylight,
and in cold blood.
In Pashek the bandits slew a Jewish
mother with her sucking baby.
Instances Of the above type are
mentioned throughout the report Of
the Jewish deputies.

JEWISH RELIGION AGAIN DIS
CUSSED IN POLISH DIET.

Warsaw: (By !. J p. b. The Diet
again took up the matter Of Jewish
religion today. In answer to recent at
tacks against the Talmud made by
the anti-Semitic priest Lutoslavsky,
Rabbis DR.. Osias Tbon and Halpern
made fitting replies.
DR.. Thon first declared that one
could not judge any religion by the
shortcomings Of their adherents, for,
II such were the case, every existing
religion would suffer severely. But
even so, the speaker declared, Luto-
slavsky had made a statement as
to the number Of Jewish criminals.
Statistics will prove the fact, beyond
doubt, that Jews form small percen-
tage Of criminals ic all countries.
Rabbi Halpern declared that the diet
was not q formur for theological dis
cussions and that he would not 20 into
the merits of Priest Lutoslavsky's
accusations, but he advised that the
Talmud be translated into Polish to
prove TO the Poles that II contains
nothing Of which Jews should be
ashamed.

MINORITY RIGHTS FOR JEWS
RECOGNIZED BY POLAND.

Warsaw: (By l. ]. P. b. In the Off
cial Journal Of the Polish government
there appears today publication Of the
article of the Versailles Treaty guar
anteeing rights to national minorities
which here is taken to mean, Jews.
The publication Of the clause, which
thus sanctions officially by Poland,
the guarantee Of minority rights to
the Jews, is taken to be the immediate
result Of strong address made by
the Polish vice-Premier Daszynski at
a session Of party leaders Of the Polish
Diet. Daszynski pointed out the inn
propriety Of not publishing the min
ority rights clause Of the Treaty Of
Versailles, ratified some eighteen
months ago, which was taken to mean
that the government never ratified
that clause. Immediate publication Of
the clause in the Official Journal is
a result Of Daszynski's persistent agi-
tation.
Mr.. Daszynski further declared to
representatives Of the Polish press as
well as to leaders Of parliamentary
groups In Poland that unless Poland
changed It's course with reference to
It's Jewish citizens, and changed II
quickly, she would have occasion TO re-
gret II as she would lose the support,
II any might be expected, from the
