HE newest idea, appropri­ ate to Thanksgiving, is that wild turkeys should be farmed--that' Is to say, bred regularly un­ der conditions of semi- domestication. Ornitho­ logical experts say that it is entirely feasible, and in the adoption of such a plan lies the hope for the preservation of our greatest game bird from final.ex- Unctiou. > "fiie wild turkey, of coarse, is a species entirely distinct from the tame bird with the white-meated breast. One reason why its preser­ vation is important is that it is needed to contribute from time to time its hardy blood and much-prized game flavor to the domesticated va­ riety by interbreeding. The compar­ atively dark meat of the breast of man}' of the tame turkeys that come to market nowadays at the Thanks­ giving season is attributable to such matings, which are f&gerly sought ~by the knowing producer of. feath­ ered stock. • I The wild turkey Is so notoriously ahy that most people would be In­ clined to suppose it incapable of do­ mestication. Such an inference, how­ ever, according to the expert, is % Mistaken one. As a matter of fact, the bird is not by nature much afraid Of man, but wither tame and soci­ able, so far aa'human beings arecoi*- Ceraed. In Massachusetts during early colonial days there were great numbers of wild turkeys, and fre­ quently they made- themselves, at home in the close neighborhood of the dwellings of settlers. To-day the species is entirely ex­ tinct in New England, and in other parts of the country the fowl is ex­ tremely wild and hard to shoot--not, however, because of a natural shy­ ness of disposition, but simply for the reason that it has been hunted a n d t r a p p e d s o p e r s i s t e n t l y . I f w i l d - j . turkeys were bred and reared on farms--a mat­ ter of no great difficulty to accomplish, say the experts--they would be docile enough, and, with - proper protection, would multiply rapidly. The fact that wild turkeys have maintained their foothold to some extent in long-settled parts of their old territory--as, for example, in Vir­ ginia and Maryland--appears to indicate that it would be entirely practicable to restock portions of their former ranges. But, inasmuch as the country anciently occupied by them is now for the most part populated by human beings, It is necessary, in order to accomplish the object sug­ gested, that their multiplication shall be encour­ aged under conditions of at least partial domes­ tication--that is to say, by farming the birds for pleasure and profit. ' - * It is believed that. If proper protection were given to such enterprises by the law, sporting clob and wealthy individuals owning or leasing large tracts would gladly go into the business of breeding wild turkeys--not for market of course, but for the pleasure derivable from such an enter­ prise. At the present time not a few such organi­ zations and proprietors of great private estates maintain similar preserves for the quail or "bob- white," holding field trials in competition, to test the ability of dogs to find and point the birds. These field trials are in reality dog races, and no shooting of. the quail is allowed. Where wild turkeys are concerned* however, ' there is no reason why such extensive preserve*, covering in some instances many thousands of acres, should not afford admirable sport under suitable restrictions. There is no form of outdoor amusement more delightful than turkey hunting. But, ir rarmers could be persuaded to take up the idea, and to breed the birds, they might sell shoot­ ing privileges to sportsmen at a rate which would pat much more money into their pockets than they could gain by sending the fowls to market. If the business were suitably managed farms of 500 to 1.Q00 acres would yield a larger revenue from wild turkeys than from poultry, sportsmen being usually willing to pay several times more tor the fun of shooting birds than the latter would fetch as marketable game. For such purposes, of course, it would be neither necessary nor desir­ able that the fowls should be too tame. On the other hand, experience has shown that wild tur­ keys are not disposed to go far away from an ac­ customed source of food supply. t The wild turkey is prolific, and takes kindly to civilization. Like its tame congener, it is a great consumer of injurious insects, particularly grass- sjK hoppers, and as such would be useful to the farm- i er. The female lays from 15 to 20 eggs for a \rJ clutch,' but raises only one brood in a year. , Poxes, hawks and owls are deadly enemies, but it t" would be the business of the farmer to project tiie birds from these foes, as he does in the oase of his farm-yard poultry. As for hu&ian poach­ ers, adequate laws for protection against them » t would have to be passed; but the sportsmen, if once they became interested in the matter, could V - be relied uP°n to exert In this direction a power- 5 * W /influence, which has naver yet failed of *uc- In affairs of the kind. : t,„ ** seems difficult to realize that less tfryn 100 rr, •' years ago wild turkeys were so abundant that °*ter s°ld for six cents apiece, a very large ofie, weighing 25 or SfXpounds, occasionally fetch­ ing as much as 25 cents. To-day ^ large speci­ men, gobbler preferred, is worth $5. The species has been wiped out, not by sportsmen, but by pot- hunters, who kill the birds on th)B roosts, trap them in pens, or lie in ambush for them, attract- J ? tag them within easy shooting distance by imita- !'I °f the hen or the yqung "poult." "A°n Fisher's island, in Long Island sound, a most .-Pterestmg experiment has already been made Ir. Igy TBu® ISfirdl. T i' V * BACK FROM THE HUNT the rearing of turkeys under semi-domestication-- * though in this case the species dealt With is the tame one. On this island, which is the most suc­ cessful turkey farm in the world, the birds are permitted to run wild, and are not even furnished . with any shelter, other than they can find among the trees and scrub. But plasty of corn is thrown about where they can get it. ° i .T--u In this artificial wilderness, as it might l»e called, which covers an area of about 4,000 acres, the "turkeys get as close to nature as possible. In-4 deed, the whole idea of their management is, to let them alone, interfering with them as little as possible. In the winter time their heads often freeze under their wings when they are at roost. But the exposure does them no harm; on the con­ trary, it renders them exceedingly vigorous, and they attain huge size, tbe gobblers sometimes weighing as much as 60 pounds when sent 'to market. Every spring few wild gobblers, trapped for the purpose In Virginia or the Carolina#, are In­ troduced into the flocks on Fisher's island, to con­ tribute fresh blood. This is esteemed a matter of the Utmost Importance. Our tame turkeys are no­ toriously difficult birds to rear, under ordinary ^cir­ cumstances, being delicate and liable to epidem­ ics---on which account many farmers have given up trying to raise them. The reason why is sim­ ply that there has been too much in-breeding, and the stock has lost its hardiness. A number of varieties of the tame turkey have been developed by breeding,; the principal ones being the Bronze, the Buff, the Slate, and the White, the Black and the Narragansett. The White was originally an albino. But all of these are derived from a single species, which' is of Mexican origin. There is only one other known species, which is native to Yucatan and Guatema­ la. It is called the "ocellated turkey," owing • to the fact that its tail is ornamented with eyes like that of the peacock. It Is one of the most beauti­ ful of birds, its feathers blazing with metallic re­ flections of gold, green, blue and bronze. MimnMimiHiiHiHteiMitm r -wf : The?

The thankful spirit is the true and sure source of a happy life. There are plenty of things to be thankful for, and it is wise to make an effort to find them. They are never far away. They are under our control. We are their masters. God made us that way. We may be in touch with very ^ disagreeable people, but if we do not like dis­ agreeable feelings we need not have them. There are many good things to think of with reference to such people. Be a missionary to them. Think ' how nice it would be if such a person had a sweet disposition and let your own radiate its virtues. We can rejoice and be glad no matter'where We are. Paul and Silas sang hymns while in Jalt. Why not? It was Ipad enough to be in jail. God was good to them. f He revealed to them facts 9! eternal life. These were good things to think about, ai^d why should they not enjoy, th^m? T9 sing was a reasonable thing to do. God had giv­ en them something against the day of trouble and they used It. Why should not we? What is the use of being miserable when we can just as well be,happy? God is near us in the joys and com­ forts of life as well as in our trials and tempta­ tions. We have good reasons to be thankful un­ der all conditions of life. The sun always shines no matter about the clouds. Daylight Is a good thing, but tike best thing is, God.created us lu * v" A i r J •*. 1 iite lftene&rr Thero ts a divine element in our nature that enables us to think God's' < ftoughts in the facts of nature as* "?'%iell as in the words of Scriptures. The natural world is a product off ^bought developed and governed by t| system of divine laws that are al­ ways in force. 'God has planned and made laws by which we live, breathe, walk, see, hear, think, talk qnd learn the meaning of things. How our Heavenly Father has planned the universe fpr man's com­ fort and how thankful and happy man should be! ' Mark the difference between the accomplished Christian gentlemah sind man in his uncivilized state and _ Jjjen be thankful for the Gospel and *What the discovery of the laws of mature has done for you. Open your %dnd to: see how God planned the Jaws of steam and electricity In •keeping with man's capacity to util- these forces and thuje bring joy and comfort to human hearts. Go through your house, look and think : as you go. You will see things of art and culture everywhere--books,; magazines, newspapers, pictures, and conveniences, and works of art < bearing the marks of the divine in man, which means you who look. When in the city you may look around and notice the buildings, and works of man, and remember that the people who-have done all these wonderful things are members of ybur family. God is their father and' he has given them a task you could not do. They are doing the work and you are getting the benefit of it. God has given every person a re­ ligious nature, it Is a source of great comfort and joy. Are you weary? "I will give you rest." "Let not your heart be troubled." "My peace I leave with you." These are God's promises. They should mean Ihuch to us. Are you poor and home­ less? Turn your thoughts on the Saviour's promises and picture to yourself the golden city; locate your mansion, fe­ ed ve your old friends, tell them to come in. Thank­ ful? How can one help but , be thankful? The Christian's spirit is the thankful, happy spirit. Every person should have it. It is the conquering spirit. It never meets defeat. No matter where one is or how sad the conditions of life, the hopes of heaven are always bright. The Christian, hap­ py spirit always has something wortli while to do. The wickedness of the world is round us. Throw a dash of Gospel sunlight along the pathway of the sin-suffering friend. A light in the darkness is what he needs. Smile on him. Let him see your glad­ ness when he would expect to see sorrow. The thankful spirit brings gladness in all condi­ tions of life. There are beautiful characters among the needy as well as in elegant homes on the boule­ vards. If the rich can afford to adorn their homes and beautify them and pay the price I will enjo/ their beauty and render thanks. There i.3 a differ­ ence in men's natural attainments. They are God- mad^ and are needed for the improvement and com­ fort of mankind. Without them there could be no schools, no true progress, and what would we do without the conveniences made possible through the labor of others. They are necessary to the com­ forts of our homes and In every department of the work of life. God help you to look and see reasons to be thankful every day of your life.--R»v. J. B.

Christmas Candies Home-made sweets for both chil­ dren and grown-ups are the most sat­ isfactory, for then one can know ex­ actly the ingredients that are used in their manufacture. * The foundations tor most candies Is fondant. Take for making it, five cups of granulated sugar and add two cupfuls of cold water iind^et it on the back of the stove until tlik sugar ts melted. Add one teaspoonful of cream of tartar dissolved in a little water. This does away with the sickly sweet taste. Put the pan over the front of the fire, where it will boil. Do not stir it after it is hot and do not shake the pan. ;When it has boiled a few minutes, try it by dropping a tiny bit in a cup of cold water. Do this fre­ quently, moving the pan where it will keep hot but not boil, for it changes so rapidly from one degree to another. When the sugar dropped in cold wa­ ter is firm enough to make a rather hard ball when rolled between the fingers, but is not crisp, pour it into a shallow pan and leave to cool till it will wrinkle when the pan is tipped. Stir it with a large spoon until it is quite cool. If it does not harden enough to use, put it into the pan at the back of the stove again until it is melted, then let it boil again, trying often. If, on the other hand, the fond- ast be found grainy, add a cupful of cold water and boil again until the right consistency is attained. It may take a little practice to make perfect. This fondant will keep good for weeks in a Jar covered with waxed paper. With the fondant as a baste all sorts of delightful sweets can be made. Candied Figs.--Cut a few figs in strips an inch wide and roll these in fondant. When nearly hard cut them In pieces with a sharp knife. Date Candy.--Roll some halls v of fondant. Stone some good-sized dates, cut them in halves, press one-half up against each side of the ball of fond­ ant. Walnnta may be done ia the same way. > * Tuttl Frutti Caiidy.--Take « shal­ low pan, line it with waxed paper; put a layer of fondant, a layer of chopped pineapple, candied cherries, chopped figs, dates, etc. Cover the top with fondant. Let it harden a lit­ tle, then cut in small squares. Chocolate Creams. -- Use confec­ tioner's chocolate for these. Melt it. Take good stiff fondant, flavor it as desired, form it into balls, and drop them Into the nlelted chocolate. If liked, chopped nuts, dates, etc., can be mlx4d with the fondant, and makes a pleasant change. . Chocolate " Almonds.--Blanch the almond meats by pouring boiling water over them and letting them stand a few moments. Turn the hot water oft and cover with cold, when the skin may easily be rubbed off between the thumb and forefinger. Break some sweet chocolate into sptal] pieces, put into a dish and set in a larger pan of hot water. When the chocolate' is melted put a blanched' nut meat on the point of a skewer or darning needle, or use a candy dipper and dip- into the melted chocolate. Then lay on oiled paper to cool. When the chocolate coating becomes set dip a second time, flavor the melted choc­ olate with vanilla if desired. GIFT FOR THOSE WHO WRITE The Rejected.

CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs. ,s It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of med tcines. There are some truly scientific phy­ sicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regard­ less of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance: 1 "Four years ago I Was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "t heard of a doctor who has a sum­ mer cottage near me--a specialist from N. Y:, and as a last hope, sent for him.
