ROADS FOR WINTER T Before Ground Freezes Smooth, Drag and Pack Center of Road to Provide Needed Drainage. -- See that all drain ditches along the road are opened before the ground freeies; then smooth, drag and pack the center of the road, and you will have provided for the essential drainage, without which we cannot expect to have good highways. All rocks should be picked out of the track before they freeze to the ground, harassing both man and beast when they pass over them during the winter months.'. Low places at bridges and culverts should be filled and leveled up to make winter travel more endurable. Repair holes in bridges, to guard against serious accidents by some horse getting his foot fast perhaps breaking his leg.

Penchlike wood forms are then placed at intervals between the sides A and boards HE turkey Is truly an American bird. It existed on this continent with the Indians before Columbus landed Only a few years ago among tb caves of Arizona the mummified remains of a turkey were found. Practically every cave, once occupied by the cliff dwellers of that region contained the bonea or feathera of the turkey, but this specimen la intact Ita age la a matter of speculation among ths scientists of the National museum, where the specimen is on exhibition. Another Interesting fact in this same connection resulted from a scientific expedition which Dr. C, Hart Merrtam made among the mountains or Arizona; he came across. a living species. of bird Identical with the one found mummified and which is now known to the scientific world by his name. Another recent discovery in connection with the turkey was a Maya hieroglyphic.

North of the Rio Grande the turkey was equally well known and treasured. The celebrated expedition of Coronado, between 1527 and 1547, penetrated this unexplored region west of tbe Mississippi. His explorations were chiefly in what is today Texas. Arizona and New Mexico, tbe home of the Indians of the Southwest 'In all the Indian villages, according to those early explorers, turkeys were to be found, both wild But the turkey goesbsfk farther among tbe Ind'ans than even the probable date at which the specimen found In the cave existed. Among the Zunls. for Instance, .there exist many legends, handed down from time Immemorial, which have (or their subject the turkey. The turkey plays a more important part in the life of the Indian than in his legends alone. Not only is It regarded as a choice article of food, but In many tribes it is held sacred. In the parts of the country where the turkey was worshiped with that curious devotion to animals which characterizes different stages in the development from savagery to civilization it waa never eaten And except when other food was unobtainable. even then separate portions were divided among various tribes, so that the religious custom would not be violated. Turkey feathers rank next In importance to tkrse of the eagle with tribes, while the Apaches, the Pamunkeys and Cheyennes chose the turkey's feathers for all ceremonial headdresses and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe also-usturkey feathers for ornamental pur-poses on their clothing.e well as for their head gear. To this day. when they don their tbe turkey fea.ber Is preferred as ornament.'

But tbe fact that today tbe turkey Is considered a delicacy In so many lands Is due to human agencies, and not to the turkey itself. Slow of movement and deliberate both in beginning flight and in the choice of Ita alighting, the turkey unaided would never have become known outside its native habitat Cortes, in one of his famous tetters written about 1518, mentions the turkey. He carried specimens of tbe bird to Spain in 1520, where they came Into Immediate popularity, and the breeding of turkeys soon became established. It waa then that the turkey became known as "pavoa," on account of his relationship to' the peacock, which waa then called pgro rear the fowl of kings. It was a long time before the turkey reached France, as far as can be learned, from history, for the first turkey eaten there was at the wedding of Charles IX and Elizabeth of Austria, June 27. 1570, Or 5$ years after Spain had first tasted tbe bird. The turkey supplied for the wedding came from somewhere in the American wilderness. Its Introduction into England seems to have been in 1524. But. whenever It was. it soon came Into popular favor and was given such local names as Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge. It is an interesting fact that these descendants of the parent stock were carried back again across the Atlantic ocean to New England, where, . crossed with the original turkey already there, tney began the breed that hat spread from one end of tbe country to the other As In this country, the turkey has come to be looked upon elsewhere as a holiday feast attraction. In the early colonial days turkeys were still abundant in Massachusetts, the rest of New England. Maryland.

But abort distance from Richmond is a email island inhabited tv tribe of Indians, the Pamun- - ' self-sacrifi- turkey. But whatever dispute has arisen as to the name of the turkey, the fact yet remains that tbe turkey is indigenous to America. Although scientists believe it is possible that there waa a species, the original of the present turkey. Indigenous to the West Indian islands, It is generally conceded that all turkeys have descended In some way or other from the three forms known today as the North American, the Mexican and the Honduras, the ocellated varieties. The Mexican turkey is found wild throughout the republic. It is short in shank, with feathers on Its body of a metatlic black shaded only allght-l- y with bronze, while all its feathers are tipped with white. This appears to be the species first taken to Spain and other European countries. It is thought that the white markings of the variety of domestic turkey known today as ths Narragansett come from this species. TheJonduras turkey today is scattered all over most of Central America and is extremely wild. Jt has a freer flight than ita cousins of the North The head and neck of thia bird are naked. The ground color of the plumage is a beautiful bronze green, banded with bold bronze, blue and red. with bands of brilliant black. This bird however, cannot be bred successfully nor domesticated away from Its native habitat, while even there it can hardly be successfully domesticated.
