BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Wild turkeys, enjoying their free
dom and making their own way in
the world, do not have to take
thought concerning their figures.
This is a far cry from their regi-
mented cousins. Under the watch
full eyes of their owners they are
now bred to fit the apartment house
kitchenette oven! They are COM
pact and built for their destiny, a
small family dinner. Of course,
some turkeys are giant in size and
their final destination is hotel or
some home where Christmas is the
time of the gathering of the clan
from far and near. Anyway you
take it, supervised turkeys are
headed for the chopping block, and
only the wild ones can know the
JOY of untrammeled liberty as far
from the haunts of men as possible
History tells us that the Spanish
conquerors discovered the delicious
ness of turkey meat when they made
their entry into Mexico, some time
in the 18th century. The size of
VIC Ull " dllO VIC ldCU IL COulu Uc uO-
mesticated, caught the fancy of the
Spaniards at once. Naturally they
took back with them several of the
handsome birds, used to domesticity
and unafraid of people.
In time, we are told, the turkey
became very popular in England
and France. When other daring
souls made up their minds to come
to the land of plenty and freedom
the turkey was destined to return
to America.
AS the turkey is native of North
America, and naturally seeks pri-
vacy in the deep woods, the call
came to many of those brought back
to their native land to escape to
the borders of swamplands and such
places. They prospered, so much
so that the early settlers never
thought of buying a turkey; it could
be shot or caught when needed. At
the time when they were finally
captured for price they brought
but few cents each!
There are still wild turkeys to be
found. But they have learned to
be more clever than their foes and
they seek spots that are almost in
accessible.

SOB Violent Deaths

Auto Toll at Least 395;
Five States Have

BY the Associated Press.
Violent deaths marred the Ma

ton with a total cost of more than
500 lives. A national survey placed
the figure today at SOB.
The toll was approximately the
same as that for last year, but in
1887 Christmas fell on Saturday
and there was only a two-day OBJ
servance.
The automobile was the biggest
single death factor, accounting for
at least 395 fatalities.
Twenty-Five persons were killed
by fire; 10 died by suicide; IL in rail-
road crossing crashes, and six
drowned. Homicides and mis-

One Inch of Rain

An acre of ground contains 1850
square feet. Consequently, a rain
fall of one inch over one acre of
ground would mean a total of g.
272,640 cubic inches of water states
writer in the Indianapolis News.
This is equivalent to $3.50 cubic
feet. AS cubic foot of pure water
weighs about 62.4 pounds, the exact
amount varying with the density, it
follows that the weight of a uniform
coating of one inch of rain over one
acre of surface would be 226,512
pounds or 1874 short tons. The
weight of one United States gallon
of pure water is 8.345 pounds. Con-
sequently rainfall of one inch over
one acre of ground would mean
27,143 gallons of water. This is
equivalent to SOB barrels of As gall
Ions each. A rainfall of one inch on
a roof of 5000 square feet would
mean $4,000 cubic inches or $50
cubic feet available for the cistern.
This is equal to 1870 United States
gallons, or Ais barrels of As gall
Ions each. Ten inches of snowfall
equals in water content one inch of
rain.

PUREBRED BEEF CATTLE In.
CREASE In MARYLAND

At least rs new Aberdeen-Angus
herds were started in Maryland dur
ing the last year and the growth of
the association representing that
breed continued steadily and logic
ially, according to Joseph M. Vial,
specialist in animal husbandry for
the University of Maryland extension
service. Only a few years ago he
states purebred beef cattle in Mary
land were negligible.
Mr. Vial says that Maryland stood
sixth in 1887 on the list of all states
in the number of purebred Aber-
deen-Angus cattle transferred to 1t.
Official records show GOA animals
transferred to breeders in this state
and it is estimated that approxi-
mately 200 purebred animals of that
breed were sold and shipped out of
the state in that period.
Interest in breeding beef cattle
was evident among breeders of Here
fords, also. A number of outstand-
ing animals were brought to the
state and a Hereford Breeders AS
ISOLATION was formed.

FARMERS AMONG
LEADERS IN BUILDING UP
SOIL FERTILITY

That Maryland farmers are TAX
ing the lead in building up their soil
fertility under the Agricultural Con-
servation Program is indicated by
the fact that this state stood third
in lining of conserving crops in
1887, according to Paul E. Nystrom,
state supervisor for the AAA. In
that year, the quantity of lime oxides
applied per acre of cropped land in
Maryland was exceeded in only two
other states.
Mr.. Nystom points out that lining
was only one of several soil build
ing practices that were encouraged
by the conservation program. He
gives the following figures as to &C
complishments during the year
1887: Legumes and grasses were
seeded on 457,286 acres; green
manure crops were grown on &c.
473 acres; forestry planting and
thinning were done on III acres;
13,359,665 pounds of superphos-
phate and 1,564,41S pounds Of pot
ash and superphosphate were ap-
piled. fla
The conservation program, Mr..
Nystrom states, is an organized, ma
tional effort to solve the problem OF
conserving soil fertility, and the
payments to farmers which it pro-
vides assists them in carrying out the
practices designed to save and build
up their soil.
More than $4,000 farmers In
Maryland participated in the pro-
gram in 1887 and it is indicated that
the number will be considerably
larger in the 1888 program.

Thousands of Canoes in
Great Lake Erie Battle

Thousands and thousands OF
canoes were massed together for
what might have been the first great
battle on Lake Erie.
1t was fought between the Fries OF
the region south of the lake and the
eastern tribes off. the coast of what
is now Buffalo about 1925. The Fries
and these tribes of eastern America
despised each other.
AS the Indians were without guns,
a great deal of the fighting was car
ried on with the canoes side by side,
where the redskins could slash each
other with tomahawks. From sto-
ries handed down through the years
to Indians of this region, the battle
was terrific, relates H. J. Carr in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The lake must have been a dull,
sickly red from the blood of the
dead. Some canoes were upside
down, others were shattered by
tomahawk blows. Finally the Fries
won.
For about the next quarter of a
century, five eastern tribes, the
Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, Onon-
dagas and Mohawks prepared for
another battle with the Fries. And
then the five tribes returned and
practically annihilated all the Erie
warriors in one great battle.

IN GRAIN CALLS
FOR QUALITY SEED

Plant only pure seed, properly
cleaned and treated, and Of an
adapted variety, is the advice to
Maryland wheat and barley
growers who desire to improve their
quality and yield by John w. Mag
ruder, specialist in agronomy for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. Quality seed, he declares, Is
particularly important during years
of low wheat prices. In his opinion,
many farmers will find that replac-
ing old seed with officially certified
or listed seed is desirable.
Mr.. Magruder states that So farm
ers in Maryland have applied for
certification of their small grain this
year, and field inspection indicates
that much of the seed will be eligi-
BILE. This seed can be purchased dir
ectly from the growers in some
cases and others local seed mer-
chants will handle it. Names Of
growers of certified or listed seed
many be obtained from local county
agent or from the Maryland Seed
Certification Board, College Park,
Maryland.

Cocker, Small Gun Dog,
Known in Sports of 1887

The forerunner of the cocker,
smallest of gun dogs, first came
into the literature of sport in 1887,
when all dogs were ''hounds" and
spaniels in general were just one
kind of hound" Count CASTOR de
Folk, a French sportsman, wrote of
these dogs of Spain as having been
taught to be "coucher," driving
quail and partridge into the hunter S
net.
1t is believed by some authorities
that the cocker developed from a
cross of the larger spaniel with the
King Charles spaniel, toy, relates
a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. For time the cocker and
the field spaniel were separated at
bench shows only by weight, above
% pounds it was a field spaniel,
below that weight cocker.
The cocker hunts both fur and
feather, but is used less on rabbits
than on pheasant and woodcock.
He is easily taught to retrieve from
water and on land In the field his
tail moves necessarily, the increas-
ing tempo informing the observant
sportsman when game is near. No
pointing dog, the cocker dashes at
his quarry, driving it from cover
to be brought down by the gun.
The beauty of the cocker, with
his affectionate disposition, variety
of colors, silky and abundant feath-
er, has gained him his popularity.
In addition he is of convenient"
size, weights from 10 to "a pounds
being allowed by the standard. He
may be black, red, liver, and parti-
colored.

Eric the Red

Like his father, Eric the Red,
famed Morse colonizer of Green
land, Left Ericsson, was an explorer
and was the first known European
to discover "Vinland," or Vine
land" in North America, observes
writer in the Washington Star. In
1000 A. D. long before Christopher
Columbus was born Left, with IS
men and small ship, sailed from
Greenland to the, west, and after
many days of exposure sighted land.
Going ashore, Left called this new
land "Vinland" or ''Vineland' be-
cause of the abundance of grapes
and fruit found growing and spent
the winter there. Some historians
believe that his party landed in
Nova Scotia and came as far as the
New England coast. Unfortunate
ly the Norsemen left no evidence of
building forts or settlements. The
facts regarding the voyage how
ever are recorded in the Morse
sagas which are widely accepted as
being trustworthy.

Witchcraft Is Old, but
Evil Attracts Attention

The notion that some people have
the power to work an oppressive or
even destructive influence upon 9TH
ers by the power of incarnation or
rel ance upon some fanciful al
chcny is as old as recorded his
tory. 1t has been encouraged at
times into a system of knowledge
and employed by the crafty and
mendacious to prey upon the igno-
rance of the people. At times it
has been devoted to crusades
against religion and spread so wide
ly that masses of people have been
cast into frenzies by the fear of
witches. In Germany more than
100 600 people were executed as
witches in one year, and even in
the American colonies death SEN
fences for witchcraft were executed.
The obvious protection against
witchcraft is education, asserts a
writer in the Indianapolis News, but
when the belief fastens itself upon
credulous people, the law must deal
with the fact of their belief, not
its causes. Defense under the law
usually takes the form of suits for
damages or criminal action to pro-
tect the good name of persons whose
standing is injured by the effect OF
loose accusations of witchcraft, but
despite all that can be done, the evil
erupts at times and attracts the at
tention of people who have not for
gotten the literature and lore OF
their childhood. q
