the trnkry and details the method of bmttlng them In the New Netherlands: -There are also very large turkeys running wild. They have very tong legs and run ao extraordinarily fast that generally we tnkf savages when wu go to hunt them, far when one has deprived them of the power of flying they yet run so fast that we cannot catch them unless their legs are hurt also. Turkeys hare been called the greatest game bird of thin country, and the methods of taking them have been many. John Hunter, who tva* capturea by the Indians and spent some time In captivity. In his memoirs, written In 1824. tel!* bow tbe Indians made a decoy bin! from the skin of a turkey. Totlowed the turkey tracks until they rome upon a flock and then partial^ displaying thrtr decoy and Imitating the gold.llng noJ« h F drew off first one / nnd tbep another of the flock, who bring -odally Inclined,

rome along to Investigate the newcomer.

Among the Indians tbe children were expected to kill turkeys with their blow guns. These were hollow reeds In which arrows were placed and tdown out with such force that, being directed at the eye of the meature. they often brought I vim down. Children ns young ns eight year* were successful *t this sort of shooting. Adrian Van dcr Dnock says that turkeys were sometimes caught by dog* In tbe anow duriiu: tbe ^ seventeenth century, hut geueratlv they were shot at night frotn % trees. They slept In tbe trees In large flocks and often selected the ——yw many nights In soccroivlon. At other time* the Indians would lay rootH of which tbe turkey* wen fond in small streams and take tbe birds as they

were in tbe act of getting these roots.

In Virginia the trap or pen wartnuch used. This trap was built In lbs forest and leadlug to It wa* a long train of com. The trap was a slmpia affair built of loj? laid .«ne upou mother and haring rough rails laid across the top. There ws. r. : reach dug umwv the lowest logs which fenced tnth« pen. In tbit trench com was scattered and the turkey following th- trail of this delicacy tor some distance off would finally come to the »r«mch. wlilrti seemed to be quite providentially strewn with ar. unusually rich supply. «• followed tb« grearbright path of rich food to his destruction. The turkeys lack of InltlUgeocf-. when it comes to penning bln up. Is one of the r«w*-'fl» why a great many Americans have not been in a roan! Wth BetiJamUi Fri»W* tin’s idea that the turkey aad not tbe eagle should l»e the bird of our countryA writer, describing the shooting of turkeys In the latter half of the nineteenth century In Michigan, speaks of the use of the hollow bout ’of tho turkey’s wing, which In the mouth of an expert can be made to reproduce perfectly the piping sound of the turkey hen. Sometimes also turkey, wero bunted on horseback. In Virginia, according to nn old writer, thlr. was not

uncommon. He says:

“Though we galloped our horaes we could not overtake .them !'*»• turkeys], although they ran nearly two hundred and twenty yard, before they took flight.” The constant practice of oitr forefathers lu shooting gam# develcptid a greet many flpc turkey .hots, and It la recorded that In the ••'tor half of the seventeenth century “u man wa* thought u had shot U he mlsred the very head of a wild turkey on top of thy highest tree with a wtnctg ball. To “pot hunting” and to the practice of luring tbe twrkoy. by Itoltatlng . tbe call of the ben In the spring. Sylvester P. Judd of tbe biological survey of tbe United States department of agriculture largely attributes tbe extermination of tbe wUd turkey In many parts of tbe United States where formerly It was especially abundant. Trapping the tutkeya in pens alao helped along th' • xtennlnatlon. Although tb jrkey l*. generally speaking, not a particularly hsirdy bird, being subject to various forms of Indigestion, etc, he Is varied In his diet and usually bas a good appetite. Some of tbe things which the wild turkey tikes best and which the domesticated bird will by no means scorn are gras#hoppers, cricket*, locust*, tadpoles, small IIcard*, garden seed* and jmalla. One turkey which was examined by a scientist was found to have partaken of a meal Including the following viands: One harvest spider, ooe centipede, ooe thousand-leg*, one Ichueuman fly. two yellowjackets. one grasshopper, three katydid*, wild cherriro. grapes, be.rles of dogwood and the sorghum, two chestnut*, twenty-five whole acorns, a few alder calkins and Are hundred seed* of tick trefoil. The domestic turkey'* habit of bunting grasshopper, and worming tobacco shows that hi* delight In the primitive pleasures of the table ba* not altered In his more carefully provided for existence. The chicks both of tbe wild and tbe domestic turkey are drilcate and emeetally most they !>e protected during the damp weather. Audubon says that tbe mother l ltd among tbe wild turkeys thoroughly underatands th# denary of her offspring and that when It la wet she feed* the chick, hods from tbe vice bosh with medicinal Intent exactly as the mother of a brood of youngster* prescribes dose* of qnlulue when Influenza ha* taken tbe family In lUdutcbee- Aa anot at the young birds an fly wHI enough to take their place on t'ae roost with tbelr mothers tbe most delicate period of childhood, what might be ailed tbe teething stage. I* thought to be over. But according to a succeaaful turkey farmer, tbe poults are three month* old before they can be taught anythin*. They are then taught that they should roost high so m to keep out of the way of night prowler*. Turkeys retain so much of their wild nature that ihry do not like roo.ting ln.lde ■ bouae. and. Indeed, they do not are even for artlflrlsl perohe*. When pooelMe they greatly prefer tall trees as n ronetlngjdare to any roost thal baa been especially constructed for them. This characteristic render* them eV** dally easy victims for night raider*. In addition to the human desperadoes of this description there are tlw coyote, and hawk, alwaya to be guard#* against In some parts of tbe country. In addition to lUnemr. which come from digretl.c disorder*. cUdglh# terrible scourge of black bead., etc, and the dspredatUma »f the nigh l-raider, tbe turkrv ftrmer always bus to consider also the fends among the membet# his fli*. which frequently rage high S-rerthelro* tb. arafUl InrUy rancher has found It poaslble tc conserve Ms birds and msk# a largr proflt from them A woman turkey rancher, who tin* had good experience In the hiHJnrwa lam In one wnaon only twelve Mroa out of • flock of 1,800.
