The old custom of serenading
under milady's window was re-
vived in Chapel Hill this sum-
mer when a male quartet ap-
peared Unexpectedly one evening
on the lawn of the woman's
building. The report of this
pleasing episode recalled to me
the serenades with which Dolph
Mangum and his musical COM
panions used to pay court to the
McCaull girls at my home in the
summers of the late nineties. A
guitar was the accompanying in
strument in those days. | sup
pose it would be a saxaphone to-
day, if anything, which surmise
makes me rather well satisfied
that serenades are no longer in
fashion.
The scout lore of Donald Foer-
ster got the family out of trouble
when they were going down a
mountain on their recent auto
mobile tour. PaterfamiIias,
Norman Forester, was descend
ing a series of steep grades on
high gear and was regulating his
speed by constant pressure on
the brakes. Somebody smelt
something burning and looked
back to see a trail Of smoke be-
hind the car. A sudden halt,
and four Foersters flowed rapid
ly out of four doors. Flames
envelOped one Of the rear wheels.
The other three members Of the
family were disposed to be
alarmed, but not 50 Donald, for
he is a Boy Scout and knows how
to put a fire out as we'll as how
to make one out Of two twigs on
a rainy night. He grabbed his
fathers raincoat and smothered
the blaze. Then they proceeded
on their way more circumspectly.

Nobody knows who started that
figure of speech, talking turkey"
to indicate getting down to essen
tials, or down to brass tacks" as
many people say. Whoever started
it, it is certainly an appropriate
phrase to use in discussing the ex-
ceptionally profitable but relatively
neglected industry of turkey raising.
Here is a business in which the de-
mand has always exceeded the sup
ply and yet, ever since 1890 the
supply has been steadily dwindling.
Prices have not dwindled, however,
On the contrary, they have consist
emily increased from year to year.
What a wonderful opening for
wide-awake farmers to step in and
make some real money! Yet, with
but few exceptions, they turn deaf
ears to the loud knocks of opportu-
nifty. Why?
Unuuestionably the one great
drawback has been the old belief
that turkeys could not be raised
unless given the run of unlimited
range. They have always been con-
sidered wild things that would not
live in confinement. So, as chang
ing conditions in various localities
made greater and greater restriction
of range necessary, the raising of
turkeys was automatically curtailed
or bandoned. Not until very re-
Gently did it ever occur to anyone
to question the old theory that tur-
keys needed all outdoors for their
feeding and exercising grounds. Now
we know that the old policy of un-
restricted range has been one OF
the most serious factors in the high
death rate among young turkeys.
This method caused chickens and
turkeys to be brought together on
the same grounds. In this way the
deadly blackhead disease was trans
mitted to the young poults through
the cecum worm (pin worm) of
chickens, now recognized as host
for bleakhead germs. Blackhead is
truely the turkey raiser's most
dreaded enemy, for unless precau-
tions are taken to keep the disease
from getting started among the

growing poults, a heavy loss is sure
to be had. 1t is easy to see, there
fore, why the plan recently adopted
by raising turkeys in confinement
has proved so highly successful. 1t
is quite definitely established now
that turkeys can be raised in much
the same manner as chickens and
with far better results than were
obtained by the old-fashioned meth
ods once held all but sacred.
Another old-time theory that has
lately been pretty thoroughly ex-
ploded is the belief that only natural
Matching and brooding methods were
practicable in turkey raising. 1t has
been clearly established that poults
Matched in incubators and reared in
brooders are much less likely to
succumb to the scourge of blackhead
and other diseases which prey on
their kind, than those Matched and
brooded under hens. The reason for
this is that naturally Matched poults
acquire the germs of blackhead from
older fowls just as they do from
chickens where permitted to run
with them. Confine them so they
cannot get out to run with chickens
or with old turkeys, or to run on
ground where chickens have been
for at least one year.
Three other essential planks in
the turkey raiser's platform must
be: sound feed, clean water and
clean range. For those who still
adhere to the old ideas about tur-
keys, this must sound like rank
heresy. Yet the truth of such simple
doctrines is vouched for by the fore
most authorities on turkey raising
in the country.
If you can raise chickens success
fully, you can raise turkeys with
equal success, only don't mix them.
The methods of incubation, brood
ing and feeding will with but slight
adaptation enable you to gain equal
ly as good results with turkeys, and
with a greater reward for your eff
forts. The profits so fondly imag-
ined by those who would like to
try turkey raising are there for you
if you follow right methods: Ma
tional custom calls for three great
festivals every year when nothing
but turkey will really suffice as the
principal item on the menu and it
would not be impossible to educate
the public into a still wider use OF
this delicious meat if it were always
possible to supply the present de-
mand.
All readers of this article are well
come to any further help 1 can give,
them. 1 shall be glad to hear from
those who are truly interested and
who really want to TALK TUR-
KEY to a purpose. Address any
