DOMESTICATED RACES 13 
Any zodlogical garden or traveling menagerie will show a 
great variety of animals clearly catlike, and almost every moun- 
tainous country has its native sheep of some kind. 
The zebra and the quagga of the circus suggest the horse, and 
the turkey of the New England forests not only resembles our 
great Thanksgiving bird, but is known to be its direct progenitor.!

Among plants we have wild oats, timothy, and many kinds 
of clover; indeed, most of our pasture grasses are truly wild. 
We have also wild strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, 
wild onions, parsnips, and carrots, and whichever way we turn 
the domesticated animal and plant is found to have a gypsy 
relative in the wild.
