  WARNER 
  HARPER, 
  PROPRIETOR 
  

  

  the 
  roosting 
  quarters 
  or 
  winter 
  shelter 
  on 
  a 
  

   little 
  knoll 
  so 
  the 
  water 
  will 
  drain 
  away 
  from 
  

   it, 
  damp 
  houses 
  will 
  prove 
  of 
  little 
  trouble, 
  

   but 
  an 
  application 
  of 
  lime 
  to 
  the 
  earth 
  inside 
  

   of 
  the 
  house 
  occasionally 
  increases 
  their 
  secur- 
  

   ity. 
  

  

  Roosting 
  in 
  trees 
  in 
  summer 
  may 
  be 
  per- 
  

   missible, 
  but 
  even 
  so 
  it 
  is 
  more 
  satisfactory 
  to 
  

   induce 
  the 
  poults 
  at 
  an 
  early 
  age 
  to 
  roost 
  in 
  

   shelters 
  provided 
  for 
  them. 
  This 
  will 
  keep 
  

   them 
  home, 
  and 
  when 
  winter 
  comes 
  they 
  will 
  

   run 
  no 
  risk 
  of 
  freezing 
  on 
  their 
  perches 
  some 
  

   cold 
  night. 
  Give 
  them 
  appropriate 
  shelters 
  

   and 
  roosts, 
  but 
  do 
  not 
  drive 
  them 
  indoors 
  

   against 
  their 
  inclination. 
  

  

  Choice 
  turkeys 
  fed 
  on 
  choice 
  food 
  make 
  

   choice 
  meat. 
  Spoon-fed 
  turkeys 
  command 
  ex- 
  

   traordinary 
  prices. 
  Chestnuts, 
  butternuts, 
  

   acorns, 
  and 
  other 
  fragrant 
  nuts 
  flavor 
  the 
  

   meat 
  of 
  the 
  turkeys 
  just 
  as 
  surely 
  as 
  the 
  acorns 
  

   of 
  the 
  Southwest 
  make 
  the 
  most 
  delicious 
  ba- 
  

   con 
  sent 
  to 
  market. 
  Celery, 
  lettuce, 
  and 
  lus- 
  

   cious 
  grass 
  are 
  appreciated 
  by 
  turkeys, 
  and 
  

   when 
  fed 
  such 
  food 
  they 
  fatten 
  on 
  it 
  and 
  pro- 
  

   duce 
  tender, 
  sweet 
  meat. 
  Add 
  to 
  this 
  suffi- 
  

   cient 
  grain, 
  sweet 
  milk, 
  and 
  a 
  varied 
  diet 
  of 
  

   fat 
  worms 
  and 
  bugs 
  which 
  they 
  pick 
  up 
  in 
  

   their 
  ordinary 
  wanderings, 
  and 
  you 
  have 
  tur- 
  

   keys 
  fit 
  for 
  the 
  king's 
  table 
  when 
  Thanksgiv- 
  

   ing 
  or 
  Christmas 
  comes 
  around. 
  

  

  But 
  as 
  the 
  temptation 
  of 
  Thanksgiving 
  

   regularly 
  draws 
  one 
  to 
  the 
  turkey-yard, 
  it 
  is 
  

   well 
  to 
  hold 
  in 
  check 
  the 
  desire 
  to 
  sacrifice 
  the 
  

   choicest 
  hens 
  of 
  the 
  flock 
  for 
  the 
  table. 
  Pass 
  

   them 
  over 
  and 
  take 
  the 
  second 
  best. 
  Other- 
  

   wise 
  the 
  deterioration 
  of 
  the 
  flock 
  causes 
  re- 
  

   grets 
  that 
  only 
  years 
  can 
  obliterate. 
  Keep 
  the 
  

   choicest 
  for 
  next 
  spring's 
  mating, 
  and 
  each 
  

   successive 
  year 
  the 
  quality 
  of 
  the 
  turkeys 
  will 
  

   improve 
  until 
  the 
  grade 
  becomes 
  standard, 
  not 
  

   only 
  in 
  looks 
  and 
  appearance 
  but 
  in 
  prac- 
  

   tical 
  utility. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  repression 
  of 
  desires 
  

   that 
  makes 
  this 
  national 
  feast 
  a 
  true 
  reminder 
  

   of 
  the 
  qualities 
  of 
  our 
  stern, 
  self-contained 
  

   Puritan 
  forefathers. 
  

  

  The 
  Home 
  of 
  Solomon 
  R. 
  Dresser, 
  

   Bradford, 
  Pa. 
  

   Congressman 
  Dresser 
  may 
  well 
  feel 
  a 
  nat- 
  

   ural 
  pride 
  in 
  his 
  beautiful 
  house 
  which 
  is 
  ex- 
  

   pressed 
  in 
  this 
  illustrated 
  record. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  

   handsome 
  souvenir 
  of 
  a 
  handsome 
  home, 
  one 
  

   built 
  at 
  some 
  cost, 
  furnished 
  in 
  a 
  handsome 
  

   manner, 
  and 
  supplied 
  with 
  every 
  modern 
  con- 
  

   venience 
  and 
  luxury. 
  The 
  house 
  was 
  designed 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  Louis 
  Kamper 
  of 
  Detroit, 
  and 
  is 
  

   somewhat 
  modeled 
  after 
  the 
  Michigan 
  build- 
  

   ing 
  at 
  the 
  Pan-American 
  Exposition. 
  The 
  

   souvenir 
  volume 
  is 
  issued 
  in 
  handsome 
  dress, 
  

   and 
  is 
  a 
  memorial 
  that 
  must 
  be 
  heartily 
  wel- 
  

   comed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Dresser's 
  many 
  friends.

   While 
  there 
  are 
  doubtless 
  very 
  many 
  valu- 
  

   able 
  books 
  on 
  roses, 
  the 
  author's 
  contribution 
  

   to 
  the 
  literature 
  of 
  the 
  subject, 
  while 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  latest, 
  is, 
  nevertheless, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  of 
  

   its 
  kind, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  concise 
  and 
  practical 
  treat- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  the 
  text 
  is 
  concerned. 
  The 
  various 
  

   chapters 
  describe 
  the 
  propagation, 
  pruning 
  and 
  

   general 
  culture 
  of 
  roses, 
  both 
  out 
  of 
  doors 
  and 
  

   under 
  glass, 
  and 
  the 
  work 
  is 
  well 
  illustrated 
  

   with 
  nearly 
  a 
  hundred 
  engravings, 
  which 
  will 
  

   be 
  found 
  very 
  valuable 
  in 
  supplementing 
  the 
  

   directions 
  given.
