. The American farmer's pictorial cyclopedia of live stock ... Livestock; Veterinary medicine. ORIGIN AXU VARIETIES OE EAR.M lUIlDS. 915 V. The Wild Turkey. The wild turkey is a native 011I3' of America; tliere are several so- called species, but they are, however, only varieties that have bred con- stant to tj'pe, perhaps having escaped from some ancient domestication. They are all fertile one with another. The turkey is native to all that region from Central America, north, up to 4.5 degrees, wherever suitable timl)er covert can be found ; but in all the more thickly settled regions they have long since been exterminated. The illustrations show the common wild turkey hen, and the Mexican wild turkey cock.. ;ALLtS SONNEKATIl. VT. Ducks. None of the wild fowl seem to have been more easily domesticated than the duck, though the domestication of birds of any species seems easy, whenever they prove valuable enough to pay their keeping. Only the larger varieties have, as a rule, been thought worth domestication, though of late years some of the smaller and beautifull}' plumaged birds have been bred in a tame state. They make very handsome adjuncts to water scenery, in connection with swans and the rarer species of geese..
