A. chet -who bns for many yean pre Bided over the cuisfne ot one of New York city's best hotels pives this recipe for preparing uuu cooking the Thuuks- giving turkey: "Slit the neck of tho turkey from tho back of tho head down Its whole length and with the fingers separate the skin from it. Cut the kin a little above the middle and pull apart, then cut tho neck off at the base. That will leave tho skin Intact for further use. "Take the intestines out through an Incision in- tho abdomen, but first take out the crop by Inserting tho finger where you havo cut tho nock off. Loos en the Btring-.i, or plpeii, inside und pull them easily, then the whole crop will come out intact. Wash well, and tho turkey will bo ready for stuffing. "For the Htuftng soak a small Btalo loaf of bread In cold water and when soft liqucezo all the water out; placo In a bowl, add salt, popper, thyme or sage or both; fry one onion chopped fine in four ounces of butter and a little ham, bacon or salt pork; cut fine, add a whole egg and mix well. Staff the crop or wishbone part thoroughly ant! fasten the skin over it on- the back of the turkey with a skewer or sew It the rest put inside. Bake the turkey In a hot oven and cook about ninety miu utes." A TlinnkmylvliiK Game. One of the funniest of the fr.nn, games, peculiar to Thanksgiving time Is called "hunt the turkey." Go out to the kitchen and take tho turkey out of the oven and bring it in and hide it somewhere in the parlo: Under the lace curtains In the window Is a good placo or you might shove i down inside of the piano. Then lc the guc3ts conic in aud hunt for it. The person who finds it must hit sonic one with it before the person can go It back to the other room, which is home base. It is not fair to throw the turkey, as it must bo swung by the hands. If a person accidentally knocks ovor a lamp or breaks a picture or throws tho turkey through the win dow he or she must pay a forfeit. Of course this game, which is funny Und one In which both young and old may join, must uot be played longer than half an hour before the time set for tho dinner, for tho turkey must b taken back to the oven and allowed to ;:ulah cooking before being carried to tho table. It Ls not fair to take bite: out of the turkey when it Is found ami It Is also against the rules of tho game to kick tho turkey uround the room. It must be held lu the hands, right sldo up, so that the stuffing will not fall out New York World. Uakinff the Proolamntlon.

Remember the place v Raising Blue Grass Turkeys Kentucky Roads Dotted With Marching riocka Tlva Outdoor Method, -Tour of Palatable Birda . .J W7 ENTTJCKY Is coming forward jga aa a great turkey raising state aud already bids fair to rival Itbode Island and Con uectlcut as a producer of tne Thanks giving bird. The roads In November aro dotted with marching flocks, leav ing the farms and converging upon the towns, where on arrival they are killed and packed hi refrigerator cars for Bhlpment to all points of the compass. Tbousands of these turkeys are raised by negroes on their little holdings, and on them falls tho task of slaughtering and plucking tho fowls, 2 cents apiece being paid for the labor. Several weeks before Thanksgiving buyers go through the rural districts, picking up bunches of tne fowls, which are driven to the nearest roHroad sta tion and forwarded to the "factory," where they aro killed, scalded In vats BABOAttfUfa WITH A dutzb. of boiling water, washed, cooled on blocks of Ice and finally shipped with ice in barrels covered with bagging. In this way the Thanksgiving crop is transported to the market centers. If It be reckoned that 1,000,000 of the birds are sold in towns and cities to which they are shipped alive usually In wicker crates containing half a dozen each 5,000,000 are left to bo carried, dead and plucked, in cold stor age cars. Ono such vehicle will hold 1,000 turkeys, so that obviously 6,000 cars are required to accommodate the Thanksgiving fowls which the public appetite demands. If theso cars were placed in line, they would compose a train thirty miles in length, conveying approximately 22,000 tons of birds. In Kentucky and also in Connecticut and Rhode Island what may be called the outdoor mothod of raising turkoys now being extensively practiced, The birds aro provided with neither shelter nor roosts, even In winter, aud aro compelled to shift- for themselves, the idea being to imitate natural con ditions as closely as possible. They aro red liberally and in spring aro pro vided with half barrels for nests, but there ls us llttlo Interference ns possi ble with tholr waj's' of living. Pnr from suffering from such neglect, thoy seem to enjoy much better health; thoy are vigorous and hardy, and epidemics such as aro liable, to decimate ordinary flocks are raro among them. Epidemics of disease nro the great est troublo of tho turkey breeder, fre quently sweeping away wholo flocks lu few days. Hence it ls that largo numbors of tho birds cannot be raised together, and at least five acres of range ordinarily are required for each "hen" nnd her brood of poults. Recent ly there has come to be a great demand for young "broiler" turkeys earlv In autumn, and such prices aro obtained for tliein as to afford on Inducement to farmers to "forco tho crop," as is done with chickens. Wo havo in this country Immense quantities of surplus corn easily con vertible Into turkeys, and each autumn tho crop of birds surpasses all previous records. In prosperous tlmeu. u;" course, the demand ls at a maximum, and this Thanksgiving will ce mor of tho fowls cnten than were conminK-.' on tho same festive occasion In iiht year hitherto. To nbsorb a consider able surplus there has grown up a tvr- elgn demand, and many thousands of choice gobblers nnd "hens" will Ik shipped this nutunin to Europe It tickle the npprclatlve palates of epi cures on tho other sldo of the water.

"In November, 1862," snld the vet eran who was a drummer boy in the f.nnou3 Hawkins' zouaves, "we were In camp at Falmouth, directly opposite Fredericksburg, where many of our command fell a little later. We could get nothing but the ordinary rations, but we had prepared for that by start ing a company fund several months be fore for the purpose of supplying a Thanksgiving dinner. Thero must have been something like $40 lu the fund, and our cook kept the disposal of this fund a profound secret. "It seems ridiculous now, but I don't believe that any child ever waited for tho coming of Christmas morning with a keener excitement than wo did for that Thanksgiving dinner.
