Excerpt from Turkeys and How to Grow Them: A Treatise on the Natural History and Origin of the Name of Turkeys; The Various Breeds, and Best Methods to Insure Success in the Business of Turkey Growing, With Essays From Practical Turkey Growers in Different Parts of the United States and CanadaCharles the Fifth, with a collection of fabrics, minerals, and other products of the New World. Three years later he dispatched another communication, together with a royal fifth of the spoils of Mexico, embracing a rich collee tion of all the products of the country, and it is not to be supposed that the turkey was omitted, especially as it was easily obtained. This consignment, however, was captured by a French privateer and fell into the hands of Francis the First, who is said to have gazed with wonder and envy upon the spoils of the Aztecs, and to have expressed the wish to see the clause in Adams' last will and testament that authorized his imperial rivals of Castile and Portugal to divide the New World between them.Prescott further says, in describing the manners of the Mexicans: The table was well supplied with substantial meats, especially game, of which the most conspicuous was the Wild turkey, erroneously supposed, as its name sug gests, to have come originally from the East. He also says that this noble bird was introduced into Europe from Mexico, where it was domesticated, and was very common and abundant not only in Mexico, but all along the continent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ... there can exist no vestige of regret that at length the southern public has awakened from its lethargy and is now keenly alive to the fact that there is a saving alternative. The New Way--Light out of darkness is due to the advent of the corn shredder. Its mission has just begun, but the beginning is good and its future progress will be sweeping, complete, triumphant. It is impossible, whatever the connection, to ignore the value of the shredder, the part it bears and the work it is doing, and has to do, as a factor in the progress and advancement of southern agriculture. While the silo has accomplished much, the shredder is destined to effect even more. Its importance cannot be overestimated, for it is revolutionizing quietly, but effectually, an enormous industry in a dozen commonwealths. What it means in one state, alone, of the twelve, and for one season, let the following statement of Director R. J.

The corn crop of Georgia, for convenience, may be stated at 31,000,000 bushels, sometimes less, often more. Then, at 1300 pounds of corn hay, heretofore not saved, for every 31 bushels of corn, the total loss in the state would be 1300X1,000,000=1,300,000,000 (thirteen hundred millions of pounds), or 650,000 tons of corn hay.
