Natures Children

The old-fashioned, domesticated
turkey used to be the cause of much
worry and anxiety on the part of
her raiser. At the time of egg
laying, the hen would be sure to
revert to type and leave her cozy
protected nursery and seek a place
where she could be all alone. This
habit was necessary when living out
in the woods. Not only enemies in
the animal kingdom were likely to
find the eggs. but her own mate was
not above destroying them. He has
a jealous streak that has never been
overcome. Man has, of course,
found a way to check this strange
attitude of Tom, but his mate, or
mates, still have the secretive de-
sire to hide their precious eggs when
they get the chance to do so.
The turkey is a colorful bird, with
a ground color of coppery-bronze,
the square ends of the feathers be-
ing velvety black The naked skin
OF the head and neck, with various
shades of red and excrescences of
purple and blue, presents a contrast
In shades that is unusual and beau
tlful. There are many black bars
to enhance the color scheme, the
yelloWlsh-white bill tinged with red
ana the crimson-hued legs adding
TO the festive ensemble. Then look
into the deep brown eyes of tur-
Key gobbler and meet the king of
the poultry yards, once the lordly
boss OF harem in the deep wooded
sections of the Eastern United
states. Soon he may become one
OF the glorious mementos of a rich
past.
Evening star., 1939-12-18

would feel! In the days of the COL
onists, turkeys weighed from Is to
40 pounds. And the records show
they could be bought for cents a
pound, or the man of the family
could go forth telling the madam
he would fetch home a turkey for
the family to enjoy. Families in
those days would take care of siz-
able bird. Today the turkey of
long ago would almost be of the
same size as the apartment stove.
Besides reducing the bird consid-
erably in shape, it is said he is to
be deprived of his handsome waffle
and too-abundant tail feathers. It
is well We have enough wild turkeys
to keep as mementos of the past.
1t would be a shame to have such
a fine strutting fellow become ex-
tinct. We are wondering whether
with all that is being done to this
native American, his descendants
will become yes men or a milk
toast variety"

Turkey
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Now Tommy Gobble has gone
modern! He and his mate are be-
ing streamlined, and we have been
told that by 1914, turkeys of a
weight and contour suitable for
apartment house stoves and families
will be the proof of the passing of
such pompous fellows as this lordly
bird.
So important is the turkey to
Americans that we are having spe-
cial congresses where they display
young tom and hen to prove that
the poultry geneticists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have really accomplished much to-
ward their goal-a modernized small
turkey to fill the needs of today.
How Inundated the turkeys who
were once so numerous in our woods
