TUE THANKSGIVING TCRKEY. A History at the History and Ante cedents of a Popular Bird, When, ia the month ot November, the fields look cold and dreary, and the “incessant rustles from the mournful groves,'' then comes to us KUe a burst of sunshine on a gray day, that unique creation of our forefathers—Thanksgiving day. The crowning joy of Thanksgiving is the reunion of friends and at no time is the satisfaction more complete than when, gathered aroud the table, they look with admiring eyes at that autocrat of the dinner table, the turkey. We are not an inquiring race. It Is our habit to eat what is set before as, asking no questions. Yet at this time, it might be interesting to know something ot the iife and history of—let us whisper it confidentially—our favorite bird. Happily it is a native of America, although, like alt the early natives of the country, bearing a misleading name. Its ancestors are to bo found away in the west beyond the Mississippi and in the far south. In France it lias been coolly sssigned to India and is called “Houle dTude,” wide the more accurate Germans, in calling it “Kalekuttscho Hahn,” locate it in Calicuty, on the western shore of India. A historian of turkeys tells us that it was introduced iuto England during the reign of Henry VIII. At that time the wealth of the country was m the hands of the merchants who traded with Turkey and whose ships sailed the Levant. Consequently, anything that was new and fashionable, whether carpet or fowl, was dubbed Turkey. Would it not bo a patriotic deed to give our native favorite a name more worthy of its laud? A TENDER Fowl.. Although the wild birds arc hardy the domesticated inhabitants of the barnyard are tender and difficult to rear. They are the perquisites and care of the farmer's wife and daughters. and no one save a farmer’s wife knows the amount of work and watchfulness they entail. From the early spring time when, with the inherited wildness of her nature, she tries to hide her nest, often causing long hours of watching or seeking lest the eggs should get “chilled.” until in the fall the brood passes into the hands of the buyer, they are a constant anxiety. A turkey hen lays about twenty eggs, choosing a nest on the ground, for she loves moisture. When the eggs are hatched, the lanky, illshapen birds require food as carefully prepared as for.some dyspeptic. Lard, eggs, green food, pepper and meal are mixed and fed, yet in spite of all the knowledge of poultry lore some will mope and stand with dishevelled feathers, dull eyes and drooping wings, looking the embodiment of misery until deatli ensues. They must be carefully housed till the dew is dried by the sun or the young will die. A sudden rain storm lakes all members of the family who &ro interested out to search for the wanderers. They are not home-lov-ing and will disappear for days and weeks, to be found in the woods or swails luxuriating on grasshoppers or perhaps depleted by their natural enemy, the fox. When the grain begins to ripen they find their way to the fields and help themselves, not always to the farmer’s liking, They frequent the orchards, devouring apples and stripping grape vines with a rapidity uuequa’led by any small boy, and the worst of it all is that all authorities agree that fruit makes turkeys poor. They strike up friendly relations with neighboring flocks of the same color and size, thereby making con - fusion unless precaution has been taken to MARK THE RESPECTIVE FLOCKS, Either by cutting the wings or by breaking off the first joint of the little toe. When the final fattening and prep aratiou for market is over the good wife proudly views her treasures with the creamy, solid meat and the great seam of tat obliterating all trace of the backbone. It is something to be told at the fireside when the great gobbler reaches the mark of thirty pounds or stretches out toward the forties. While in this country the turkey and Thanksgiving are almost synonymous, in Canada and in England it Is more closely associated with the festivities of Christmas. Just be fore the holidays largo cargoes ere killed, fro en and then shipped, packed in their own feathers. There the feathers are put to a variety o(, uses. The large ones plucked from the wings are used as points tor arrows, being much better for that purpose than those ot eagles, so often celebrated in poetry and song. The body feathers are made iuto dusters and the tail feathers are used for mailing salmon flies. At one time Freneu ladies shaded their faces with parasols made by joining four of the tails together.
