THE TURKEY. 



Wild Turkeys. 



The Turkey is an inhabitant of America, and 

 appears to have been imported into Europe about 

 the year 1G00. Its habits in a state of domesti- 

 cation need no description, but when wild in its 

 native woods are rather interesting. It is partly 

 migratory in its habits, moving from the parts 

 about Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, towards the 

 Ohio and Mississippi. The march is usually per- 

 formed on foot in large flocks, the birds seldom 

 using their wings except when attacked, or in 

 order to cross a river of a mile in breadth, but the 

 weaker frequently fall into the water, and then 

 paddle to shore with some rapidity.
