TURKEY DRIVING ^he occupation of turkey driving h-°s always struck us as a narticularly unenviable one, an'1 calculated to excite the pity of every class of the community except that unfortunate race of beings called Pig-drivers, who are so afflicted by the perplexitiess of their own pculiar callin? that they have not time to bestow a commiserating thought upon their sufferin? fellow creatures.
The turkey drivers1 life is extremely monotonous, and although his flock are infinitely more docile than a drove of sv'ne, they are sometimes quite as unmanageable.
To a northerner it is quite a novel sight to see half a dozen score of gawkey, long-legged turkeys, with necks outstretched and feathers in a most unbecoming state of disorder, trotting up a street followed by a couple of individuals ->ith short-handled ■'■.’hips and long lashes, better adapted from thei? character, one vo"ld suppose, to reduce some obstinate pi? hes.de* rule to 1 smb-1 ike docility, than touching up a gobbler "on the raw."
The dexterity of the fowl’s in avMding the wheels of carts and hoofs of horses and mules, is astonishing: and alt hough their movements -re destitut - of sr^ce, they a-,e a? r:-pid as Airpudin in avoiding danger. Purchasers are sure of gettlr.? their poultry fresh if *hev buy it
