Turkey Pride of Holiday Feast Is in Danger of Becoming Extn

Is the fact that they are very hard to
raise. for the turkey Is subject to
most OF the diseases and ailments
affecting fowls. OF these the most
common diseases are blackhead,
chicken pox (sore head) and roup.
Lmberneck and impaction of the
crop are non-infectious ailments often
found among turkeys. or the para
sites, lice are the most Injurious,
especially among young turkeys, and
unless some effective means has been
taken to destroy them they can
usually be found on every turkey in
| the flock. 1t Is no uncommon thing
for the owner of flock to get up in
the morning only to learn that one
half OF that which he expected would
bring him tidy sum had died during
| the night. 1t is this, too, that has
caused so many of those who set out
to raise these fowls to abandon the
venture.
With all the handfcaps that con-
front the turkey raiser, 1t will be
seen that 1t Is not an easy venture
and each year has seen a diminish
ing number of these fowls. OF course.
we cannot say that the bird will be
extinct in this or the generation TO
come. but 1t Is not beyond the pale OF
possibility that unless the govern
ment steps in and takes some method
of preserving the great fowl that has
! for so many years graced the Thanks
giving and Christmas dinners. Mr..
| and Mrs. Turksy will be seen In mu-
seums only In the years to come. We
must not forget that governmental
help was necessary to preserve the
buffalo. We had to cali a halt on
the killing Of seals and had to put
into museums and ZOOS other animals
and fowls that were once very plen-
| tiful. Why may 1t not be necessary
for the government to aid in saving
the turkey?

Earth Eaten as Food.

A CCORDING to Investigators in the
service of the government one
OF the most unlovely characteristics
of southern crackers" as they have
been described in official reports. is
the habit Of chewing earth or clay.
The practice of eating earth. how
ever, is not confined to any one race
or region of the earth. In this coun-
try several tribes Of Indians are
given to using earth as food. yari-
Gus kinds of clay seem to be pre-
ferred.
The Pawnee Indians used a yellow
| ish clay. which they shaped and dried
into little balls that were slowly
| roasted at the open fire. When the
clay as delicacy. The Apaches used
were removed, moistened with water
and eaten. These clay balls were
especially liked when served in con-
| nection with fish and seem to have
promoted digestion.
| The Timmeh Indians of the Mac
kenzie river region used to resort 10
! earth as food In times Of famine.
They dug out the clay found in the
hollows along the banks of the river.
| In prosperous years they chewed the
| clay as a deiicacy. The Ajaches used
| powdered clay to add to their meal
before baking this in their rude
loaves Of bread.
| In South America the Indians in the
uplands of Bolivia eat a light clay
that is nearly white in color. They
| use this either raw or in the form
of cakes of various shapes, and these
IL -
places. They also prepare a sauce
with the clay; this they eat with
boiled potatoes.
Among the negroes of the. Guinea
| coast as well as among those in West
Africa the eating Of clay Is very COM
mon. The natives of the Sudan dig
their favorite clay from between lay
ers of sandstone in the banks Of the
rivers. The natives of Java prepare
little cakes of clay containing ochYs-
These are sold in the public markets.
The hairy Anus" the aborigfnes
of northern Japan. mix clay with
their rice and with the leaves of vari
GUS plants that they use as food.
In Persia various kinds of clay are
considered delicious iuxuries among
l certain CidSSGs, WIllc III thO
of the Himalayas the natives are con-
stantly chewing a piece of greenish
clay, which they believe has the prop
erty of protecting them against dis
ease,
In Finland, as well ~ In certain
parts of Sweden, powdered clay is
mixed with the -four used for making
bread This practice is similar TO
that of the Apaches. and may really
represent a relic of some early cere-
moniai or superstitious observance.
In the Ural mountains the natives
mix gypsum (plaster of parish with
their dough. In Syria, in Sardinia
and in Treviso (the Tarvisium of the
lancients, near Venice) cakes Of clay
are sold in the markets with other
foodstuffs.
In parts of South America the
whites initiate the natives In using
clay as an article OF diet. but there
they cultivate the excuse that earth
eating leads to the cultivation of a
fine complexion.

Widow of Magnus Johnson's Chief
Supporter to Serve Senator Here

Here was a man who had been a
glassblower by trade. He knew the
labor question by the sweat of his
brow. Now he was a farmer working
from sun-up to sun-down. 1t was
time, he, believed. that the combina-
tion was getting representation.
At the time Of the LOTUS discovery,
Mr.. Johnson was Justice Of the peace
of his little home town, Kimball. No
decision OF his ever went to a higher
court, which may or may not be Of
any special Significance.
The first advance move Lotus
sprang on Justice Johnson was to
urge him to run for lieutenant gov
ernor. Mr.. johnson thought this was
too much optimism. When the ,time
was ripper. he ran for the state house
of representatives and was elected.
After seven years in this political dry
dock. he ran for governor-against
Jacob Preus, and was defeated. Quite
recently. he again fought his guber-
natorial opponent and defeated him

red bronze and black. 1t is some
what smaller than the North Ameri-
can wild turkey and has never been
domesticated to any great extent.
six varieties of domestic turkeys
are recognized by the American
standard of perfection. OF these by
far the most widely known is the
bronze, after which come the white
Holland. the bourbon red, the Mar
ragansett and the slate.
I'm color, the bronge turkey is Of
a rich, brilliant, copperish bronze
against a background of black and
brown, and contrasted by the clear
white tips of the tail coverts and
main tail feathers. When wild blood
has been introduced, however. the tips
of the tail feathers are yellowish
brown rather than white. The bour-
bon red is of a deep yellowish red,
with white wings and tail. The white
Holland is pure white. The black tur-
key is of a lustrous, greenish black
throughout. The color of the Narra-
gansett is steel gray against back
ground of black. The slate turkey is
of slaty or ashy-blue color, more or
less dotted with black
In commenting upon the matter of
breeding as it has been carried on
with this famous fowl the expert
says:
by judicious breeding, turkeys
have increased markedly in size since
domestication. The wild turkeys CT
today average about IL pounds for
young toms and 8 pounds for Young
hens, while the standard weight for
the bronze variety is 25 pounds for
young toms and 16 pounds for young
hens. AS a matter of fact. however,
in sections where little or no attempt
has been made to breed turkeys up to
high standard, the weigh. of the or
binary run Of turkeys does not aver
age more than that Of the wild ones
lowing to the fact that the bronze
turkey is the heaviest, it Is more pop
ular among turkey raisers than the
other varieties. Since turkeys are
sold by weight. the heaviest birds
bring the greatest returns. When a
large number of people are to be
served, as in hotels. restaurants and
boarding houses. the demand is for
heavy turkeys. For family use the
demand is for small or medium size
birds. Unless they are to be market
ed locally among customers who de-
mand small birds, 1t Is more profit
ahIo IN raiSe the heaviest.
Regarding other characteristics 1t

Electric Rain Alarm.

FALLING rain is likely at any time
to drive into a room and damage
the floor, wallpaper and furnishings.
One manufacturer has devised an
electric rain alarm which will give
warning as rain in any quantity falls
into a room. The device consists of a
box and a battery, a buzzer, a small
electric light and a switchboard ar
rangement that holds what the maker
calls a "raino-disc." The box Is put
on the window sill at night when the
window is left open for ventilating
purposes. The falling rain drops on
the disc, switches on the current and
throws both light and buzzer into cir
cult. The buzzer awakes the sleeper
and the light shows which window
needs attention.

key grower to have a flock OF pure
bred turkeys, even though they are
sold at market prices. The cost OF
raising pure breds is no more than
that of mongrels and the profit is
much greater.
Inbreeding is harmful and IL carried
on very long will result in the loss Of
yigor and vitality. 1t is therefore
advisable each year to obtain new
tom of unrelated blood. but of. the
same type. Nothing is to be gaine1
by crossing varieties. practice
which soon reduces pure breds to
mongrels.
The turkey hen is peculiar sort of
a fowl in it's habits. The matter OF
the nest is one marked characteristic,
for, given free range, turkey hens
usually secrete their nests in OBJ
scure places, such as patches OF
weeds, high grass or bushy thickets.
and turkeys often wander far away
from home for great distances be-
fore they find places to suit them. To
find these stolen nests" (as they
are usually terme0 is often a. long
and tedious task, the usual method
being to follow each turkey hen as
she separates from the flock and
starts toward her nest. :aking care
that she does not know that she Is
observed.
The turkey hen as a mother is cer-
tainIy a busy Individual. She talks to
the paults, as the little ones are
called, in a language they under
stand, and with the approach Of any
danger she gives a low warning note
that sends them scurrying In every
direction for a weed or patcn of grass
where they can, lie fiat on the ground
