Australian Brush Turkey and Other Oddities
The fragment notes the Australian brush turkey building a 15 foot heap of decaying vegetation for hatch warmth and eggs laid deep under five to six feet. It also mentions a toiletries ad line for Cuticura products and a golf anecdote where a shot at Thorpe Hall killed a bird, followed by a second ball ending the same fate. It adds a joke about a minister and lawyer and a quip about a father and a fur coat, plus an odd stat that New York uses over 29 tons of salt daily and one fourth of linseed oil goes to linoleum production.
