 abundant. Ooons are so abundant as to seriously damage 

 the corn crops, and minks are equally numerous. Is there 

 not. sume one among your trapping friends who would like

Judge Catou, so well known to all our readers for his 



. .'ii Ihe deer of North America and Europe, contributes to- the 



June .Vaftu-oKstan extn (J interesting and important article on The 



Wild Turkey and us Domestication,. The question as to which variety 

 of our t.cid, ihe. eastern or southwestern, is the progenitor of the barn- 

 yard lurkoy Has be ti eagerly disoussi y naturalists, and some of our 



mo-i ennneni authorities have decided thai the domestic turkey is de- 

 scended from Heteagris rjallnpnm of Texas and New lie i ■ 



The observations of Judge Caton, however, lead him to exactly the 

 opposite conclusion, lie limis tllSt after several generations i 

 tication lie- chestnut tips of ihe tail counts and quills become light 

 colored like I hose of Ihe demesne bird, and thai before long the de- 

 scendants of ihe eastern wild turkey resemble in all essentials the ordi- 

 nary bronze turkey of the farmyard. No one lias had better opportune 

 ;lug ni this matter than Judge Caton.
