Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
‘Suspect It
; Applicants for Insurance Often
. Rejected.
Judgifig from reports from druggish
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions, The mild and healing
-influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its r'e!narkgble record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
~prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
g 0 many applicanits for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is 8o
common to the Americi: people, and the
large 'majority of those whose applica
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all ‘drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. &
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents:to ‘Dr.
K'glmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

- Why, turkey, of course. Thanks
giving means plenty and good
ness. So does turkey—plenty of .
_white meal and plenty of dark
for everybody. And as for the
goodness—just remember how,

plenty and goodness, ton. Down with the fel
low who says turkey-stuffing lessens the sweet
flavor and delicious aroma of the bird! That
fellow never tasted real turkey-stuffing in all
his born days. Why, it’s the soul of the turkey.
You just smell that heavenly smell and then
‘you take all the carver will give you—for a first
helping. What'll 1 have? Imparticular. Big
piece. Lots of stuffing.
After studying the wild turkey for 60 years,
hunting it for 50 years and photographing it for
ten years, Charles L. Jordan, an Alabama gen
tfleman, thought with Benjamin Franklin, that the
eagle hasn’t an honest leg to stand on as the real
bitd of freedom. :
: “Though a little vain and silly,” the turkey,
Franklin said, is a native American “and a bird
| of courage.” Had he known more on the subject
| he would have added that the turkey is both wise
‘and cleanly and is never vain or silly except dur
ing the gobbling season. Can as much be said of
any other biped? A : ¥
The gobbling season—among turkeys, of course
—opens and ends with spring. It is then that the
male struts and calls and reveals his whereabouts
to hunters and their dogs.
During the rest of the year, however, he frus- -
trates man and mocks at all his plans. He is in
the woods, but invisible to enemies armed with
guns. ® Brave, silent, dignified and capable, he is
unconquerable until he becomes . elocutive and
love-lorn and begirf to make a huge fan of his
tail.
Wild turkeys have had their historians, biogra
phers and antiquarians, says James B. Morrow
in the Boston Globe. Scientists have written
about them in a lingo that nobody can under
stand. There are enough turkey books here and
in France, Spain and Great Britain to make a
large library in themselves. ;
The department of agriculture in Washington
employs a field expert who spends a larger part
of the year with flocks of domesticated turkeys
_that he may learn their habits and search out all
the secrets of their lives. The turkey industry
towches almost every farm.
Trainloads of live and dressed turkeys are
shipped from large and small towns in the South.
There are turkey farms in the West, with herders
for the flocks, and turkeys in droves, like cattle
and sheep, can be seen in Tennessee, California
and elsewhere, just before Thanksgiving and
Christmas, on the way to market. Also there are
turkey doctors. :
But _Mr. Jordan, living out of doors from child
hood to old age, and meeting his death at last
from a poacher’s shot, knew more about turkeys
than anyone who has ever lived. He began study
ing them, hidden behind falleg trees and in the
prush, while still too young to carry a rifle.
Chief among the pupils of this fine old master
was Edward A. Mcllhenny, a buSiness man of
Avery island, Louisiana, at whose suggestion re
gerves for birds have been established in different
parts of the United States. The Mcllhenney
family owns Avery island, some 3,500 acres in ex
tent, where the fast vanishing white heron finds
refuge during the breeding season, and where
ducks by the thousand live throughout the win
ter.
Among the turkey hunters of today Mr. Me-
Hhenny is prominent. But for his fidelity and
enthusiasm and his skill as a writer, Mr. Jor
| dan’s practical and fascinating knowledge of the
| wild turkey would have been lost to sportsmen
| and naturalists. So, too, would have been lost
| Mr. Jordan's method of cooking, whether the
| turkey is shot in the woods or, less dramatically,
|is taken from a tree near the house or from a
8 kfl.-_:,:.;i,' P‘ : i"x;?"». o ’:«3 ‘7'-‘,,1, oo 52

proceeding is .as-important economically as the
first. And under that heading the art of Mr.
Jordan is final, though French chefs, amid their
smears and cococtions, may voice exclamations
and denials. L : :
“If the turkey is young,” Mr. Mcllhenny says,
quoting Mr. Jordan, “cook it in the way usual to
stove baking, after first filling its cavity with a
suitable dressing of bread crumbs, pepper, salt
and onions chopped fine, moistened with fresh
country butter. This is is the best dressing that
can be made, and it will detract nothing from the
flavor of the bird nor add to it.”
Oysters or chestnuts, if put into the dressing,
are a profanation, and shrimps an abomination,
in the view of Mr. Jordan. Wine and celery de
stroy the rich turkey flavor.
Originally the wild tur!{ey was found in most
parts of the: United States—from the forests of
Maine and westward as far as Nebraska and
southward to the lower parts of Mexico. Gonzalo
Fernandez de Oviedo, the Spanish historian, who
wrote many books about the West Indies, printed
a description of the wild turkey at Toledo in the
. year 1527. He had seen the males in the gobbling
season and supposed thx were peacocks.
Thus Oviedo brought e turkey inte literature.
But if the records are reliable, it was Alejsndro
Geraldini, an Italian and the Roman Catholic
bishop of Santo Domingo. who introduced the
turkey into Eurepe. A letter he grote in 1523
mentions that he had sent a pair of turkeys to
a friend in Rome.
The domestication of the bird, however, was
brought about by the Spaniards, whose naviga
tors took it home in their queer little ships and
localized it in “European barnyards,” as John
IMiske states the case. This happened in 1530.
Bighty years later Christopher Newport, the
leader of the expedition that founded James
town, in Virginia, sailed back to England. With
him he took a large quantity of yellow sand that
he thought was gold, and Several coops of wild
turkeys, “the first,” again to quote John Fiske,
“that ever graced an English bill of fare.” The
sand was found to be valueless, but the turkeys
lived and multiplied and became a source of large
profit to British farmers,
During the reign of Charles I, king of England.
the prices of many things were regulated by law.
Hume, the historiar, says a turkey cock brought
four shillings and six pence, $1.12; a turkey hen
three shilling, or 75 cents, and a goose two shill
ings, or 50 cents. A pheasant cock sold for $1.50,
a pheasant hen for $1.25 and a partridge for 25
cents. Turkeys then were a novelty in Great
Britain. }
About 7,000,000 turkeys are grown yearly in
this' country. Texas produces more than any
other state. Missouri is second, Ilinois third,
Towa fourth, Ohlo fifth and Indiana sixth. An
ordinary western turkey weighing 12 pounds used
to sell for about $3.36 at retail in the eastern
markeds. As to its cost this Thanksgiving—your
guess is as good as anybody's. ;
Mr. Ilhenny will tell you that wild turkeys live
in the regions where they are born. If they go
away, it is for the reason that there ig a shortage
of food in the territory constituting their naturai
‘range. After feeding they will return to their
old homes.
During the 60 years that Mr. Jordan spent in
hunting and studying wild turkeys, he never saw
or heard of one that died a natural death. “Nor,”
he said, “have I heard of any disease or epidemic
among thew.”. Blackhead, a common distemper
* among domestic turkeys, has baffled the doctors,

* The mother turkey of the woods keeps her f
children under control and at her side until mid- |
_winter. By that time the brood is full grown. {
The young gobblers, Mr. Mcllhenny says, then 2
leave their mothers and sisters and form bachelor |
clubs among themselves. )
Turkey scciety in the forests. from December
until early in the spring, is made up of three di- :
visions—the old hens and young hens; the young |
gobblers, and the old gobblers. At mating time, |
in March, there is a reunion. It is then that the |’
old gobblers strut and gobble and call to their |
plural wives as well as to the hunters. (
At the moment the hens begin to set, the old |’
gobblers, in couples and groups up te 20, again ‘
sequester themselves from all but their own
society. So they live, summer, autumn and win
ter. They never fight except when they are show
ing off to the ladies and then their combats are
not mortal. The rules of their contests of
strength permit shoving, pulling, pecking and ;
wing-beating. g
They are brave birds, as the Mcllhennys, all |°
famous hunters, will testify. Furthermore, they l
are wise birds. It is the exceptional hunter who |
gets a sight of them in summer. They are not §
afraid, however, of the farmer who is plowing, .
husking corn or reaping. g
Notwithstanding the spectacular enterprise of |’
turkey ranching in Texas and California on a| °
grand scale, the old farm must still be relied |®
upon for most of our Thanksgiving and Christmas :
turkeys, says James Hamilton Byrd in Grit. On|°
thousands upou thousands of farms, as a side |’
issue to her regular work, it is common practice :
foi the farm wife to keep a half a dozen or per- |
haps a dozen turkey hens and a gobbler from §
which to raise a flock of 40 to 30 turkeys. :
Early in the spring the turkey hens begin lay
ing. Then comes the brooding season. By Octo- | !
ber 1 the young turkeys have grown to be big, |’
rangy birds, so now the fattening or finishing 1
process is begun. Little do they know as they are 1
being fed more and more of the farmer’s corn ]
every night of the diabolical intentions of their |
master's better half. Ten days or two weeks be- |’
fore marketing they are literally feasted on grain |
—stuffed three or four times a day—until just be- | °
fore the enactment of the tragedy of their young 3
careers they should be as fat as butter balls. |
Although turkey ranching in Texas and Cali
fornia has almnost reached the proportions of a |
new and spectacular industry, by far the greater |
number of turkeys are raised on the farms of the A
middle West—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, |,
Missouri and lowa. New England, long famous | ,
for its turkeys, raises comparatively few, al- ]
though its reputation still lingers. Some of the |,
big turkey ranches have a thousand or more tur- ,
keys, and some of the turkey drives to market |
are most extraordinary sights. The flocks of the |
middle West are usually less than a hundred. |
Still 50 to 75 fine gobblers and hens weighing | )
from 13 to 25 pounds each is not a mean sight |
and represents indeed no smalil value. -
There are still millionsg of acres in Texas, Okla- |
homa and New Mexico where the wild turkey
breeds plentifully, and where turkey hunting is
great sport. But of far more importance to the |
turkey market is the “still hunting” which, is ]
carried on in the spring in many places to secure |
oggs or possibly the very young birds in order to | :
raise the pure wild-blood turkey and introduce it | ¢
into tame flocks, The tame turkey has degener- |
ated until it is no longer the virile bird it was in |
_the days of our pilgrim fathers, but the wild |
_ turkey Is subject to ne known disease. On soms | <

“If the military authorities prepar

“that was only its duty towardsfiw'f'
