One at a Time, by E. Knaus, 1873. 'The proverbial admonition "One at a time!" has received an exemplary illustration from the pencil of a German artist, whose work is copied in our Engraving. In the feeding of geese or turkeys, or barndoor fowl, or any other poultry, as well as in the feeding of pigs, one has frequent occasion to bid them mind their manners. Turkeys are the greediest of domestic birds and have a prodigious capacity for gobbling as much as they can get. They and the geese should be sent out daily to pick up a large part of their needful nutriment in some field or common ground; but a good breakfast and supper are also due to them from the hands of such a careful mistress as we see in this picture. When fowls are kept in confinement, a mid-day meal should likewise be administered; and it is desirable on all these occasions, as well for the birds' own health and comfort as for the sake of the principle involved, that they should not be allowed to eat too rapaciously, but with a moderate restraint of appetite; so that none be stuffed and none be starved, but each consume a due portion, decently and in due order, "One at a time." The Engraving is drawn from a photograph of the picture, issued by the Berlin Photographic Company'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
