Since we have raised this bird into a national significance which parallels to an almost equal degree that of the eagle, symbol of the government itself, It has a special interest "to "all Americans. Although many folks may still be "as poor as Job's turkey," says a writer in Pathfinder Magazine, they somehow manage and contrive to have turkey f or Thanksgiving, whether they can or cannot afford it. In years gone by those families who could not afford turkey turned to chickten, duck, beef, rabbit, or even pork and were glad to get it. But now let's get back to the question- Of why we have or try to have or would like to have or imagine we w o u l d l i k e t o h a v e t u r k e y for Thanksgiving dinner. The answer of course is that the turkey is strictly an American bird and serving it at feasts of thanksgiving is an bid and ancient American custom.

To provide food for- this feast hunters were sent out by Governor Bradford and they returned with a large suppjy of game. Hospitality was extended to the Indians, 91 of whom attended the festival which lasted for three days. Conspicuous among the game on the tables were numerous wild turkeys, then common in the woods of Massachusetts. From this circumstance, they say, arose the popular association of these birds with A.

But the Origin of turkey feasts goes back much farther. The millions of families who plan on enjoying hearty Thanksgiving turkey dinners this year will in reality be observing a custom that prevailed ages before the Pilgrims first gathered around their festive board in New England. Smithsonian institution records now bridge the years that veil the aboriginal civilizations and show that the Indians of the Southwest domesticated turkeys and fattened them for their ceremonial feasts. While the t Pilgrim Fathers, grateful for good harvests and a , year of prosperity in the New World decided on a day of thanksgiving to be celebrated at a" banquet of roast turkey, really gave posterity the spirit of thanksgiving, the practice of such feasts had been established long before by the cliff dwellers who actually got their birds from a pen as we do today and not from a thicket as the Pilgrims did. According to Smithsonian records the turkey of the aboriginal Indians more nearly approximated .the THANKSGIVING PROGRAM ATM.E. CHURCH The new hymnals for the church will be dedicated at a special service at 11 o'clock Sunday morning in a ritualistic service assisted by the choir.

Stevenson at the local church Monday evening, Dec. 7. It is hoped that the year's finances will be up to date at that time. This Wednesday evening the Ep- ' worth league will give a Thanksgiving program at the church St 8 p. m. A , free will offering will be taken for the new church hymnals.

Thanksgiving turkey of today than the scrawny wild fowl felled by the blunderbuss of the Pilgrim huntsman. Most of our domesticated varieties of turkeys today are really descended from the Mexican wild turkey that ranged over Arizona, western New Mexico and southern Colorado -- virtually the dooryard of earliest American civilization. The Pilgrim turkey was merely the wild variety of the same bird which roamed the eastern part of the United States. Just as the turkey was exclusively y American bird in the time of the aboriginal Indians, so if is today. No fowl from -any foreign country approximates it. In fact, wherever turkeys are raised today, and they have been introduced to many foreign countries, the ancestral stock came'from America. And so far as is known turkeys are never imported to this country. C o n t r a r y t o p o p u l a r o p i n i o n t h e turkey did not get its name from Turkey (the country of that name). The first turkeys taken from the New World (America) and sold in Spain were handled largely by H e b r e w m e r c h a n t s . S i n c e t h e turkey was frequently confused with the peacpck it was quite natural that the Hebrew trades should apply to it their name for the peacock, or "tukki." More or lesfe common use of this name followed; which easily became in English pur p r e s e n t n a m e " t u r k e y . - ' ; Farm Bureau News {HIGH CALCIUM LIMESTONE BEST FOR STOCK FEEDING THE JUDGE SAYS: « T HAN K S G I V I N G i s *• approaching ^ it's time we4 told ourselves over and o v en again the thing, about which we should be thankful.

Coal Tar Dye Discovery Made by English Chemist Prior to 1856, all dyes were of animal or vegetable origin, obtained from the juices of berries, from roots, planfSrfhe sap of trees, or, in case of cochineal, simply by grinding the dead and dried cochineal bug. Then a young English chemist, William H. Perkin, -accidentally discovered the first coaltar dyestuff. He was trying to find quinine. In one experiment lie sought to determine what .would occur by the oxjdation of aniline. The result was a black tarry substance which dissolved in alcohol to n beautiful reddish yiplet solution -- mauve. (This was the beginning the coal-tar dyestifffs industry. Coal - tar. writes Dr. John. H. Sachs, in the Scicntific American, is a common by-product of the manufacture of coke. It is a heavy, black, viscous liquid with about t1 e consistency >.of molasses Its importance to the chemist came with the discovery that many of thrproducts of nature when broken down are nothing but derivatives of three or four of its most common constituents: 11 benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and anthracene. , The early nineties saw the first successful manufacture of indigo from the coal-tar derivative, benzene. There followed a procession of other valuable dyes of every conceivable shade and brilliance, all obtained from a few substances found in the black, sticky by-product. It was learned that by combining these substances with one another, or with their derivatives, or with other common chemicals, it was possible to produce literally thousands of colors. House Fly Vibrates Hi* Wings 330 Times Second The fact that a fly can walk upside down on the ceiling has always been a thing of wonder to children and grown-ups a'ike. But before it can walk, how does it land on the ceiling? For h certainly does not fly upside-down. The secret is that the fly has two extraordinary forelegs. These are as long as the entire body, and each leg has nine joints, enabling the leg to be extended at will in any direction. A fly's leg is not merely double, but nine-jointed! Before landing on the ceiling" the fly cruises slowly just below, and thrusts up its forelegs above its body so that its pads get a foothold; the whole body of the fly then swivels round on its multi-joints and ends up facing the ceiling. What a trapeze artist the common housefly would make! The wings of a fly, though incredibly thin, are tremendously hard and strong, due to the presence of chitin--a material that is very"tough and flexible. Some" insects vibrate their delicate wings only nine times a second: the common housefly vibrates his.330 times. --Titbits Magazine.

PHOSPHATING LAND INCREASES MINERAL ' VALUE OF FEEDS Practical and experimental results alike have proven that application of rock phosphate' is one of the most helpful farm practices for many McHenry county farms, according to Farm "Adviser John H. Brock. f Actual farm experience proves that sufficient amounts of phosphate reduces the damage caused by drouth and at the same time insures a better tonnage of legume growth per acre. At the Kewanee soil Experiment Fields the phosphorus content per acre of alfalfa with no soil treatment was 4.6 pounds in top growth and J pounds in the roots. The application of rock phosphate, lime, and manure resulted in 12 pounds in the tops and 2.6 pounds in the roots. 1,071 acres of land tested for phosphate in eleven Farm Bureau soil testing meeting^ showed that of this number 786 acres were too low in available phosphate for desired legume growth. On acres that tested slight, trouble would be expected during unfavorable years. Apd on. seventy-. three acres medium or high in phosphorus could be depended upon at att times.
