WILD-TURKEY DOMESTrCATION.
fnnn.ar 8efsncs XontNy.
The following observations on tho habtta md
domesttcation Of tho Wild turkey we take
from paper Of similar title BY ]. D. CAton,
published in the american Ndturaiist. Mr.
Cation commenced demonstrating tho Wild tus-
key about ten years ago, his original stock hav-
Ing been procured from tie cgGs Of tho Wild
hen; 1t has been twiea replcnished in the aarnc
Wayt. Tho young birds from the wild turkeys
e9Rs, when brought up In close lntfmscy With
tho human family, become very tame, but thoy
are afraid Of strangers, aud when anything ex-
cites their suspicion they take wing and ara Of
like 1ock OF quails. Tho young turkeys breed
raising the eleventh generation Of the tlomes-
not dotcrIoratcd either in s!za or 10 rrproduc-
tvs powers. But thcY have changed lu form
and tn tho iunGtt Of tue legs; tho body Is short.
er and more robust, and tts position u more hor.
izontal. A. regards color but little change was
obsc1vei III the first Of secouu generation nftcr
that, the tips Of tho tull-fcatheTs and tailcuy.
crts bcgnn 10 lose tue soft chcstnutbrown ol
tic wild turkey, and to becotne lighter; tho
changcabio pu,p,e tints Of neck aud breast
assumed = RreenIsh slatle; the brissles ou
more sparse 0r atogother Disappeared; tho blue
about the hend and the purple Of tho watt'es
became bright rosl tho pinklsh red Of the legs
bccau,u dull or changed to broWn. These
c!uMEcs OF color Ware seen In tho 1rst year of
the Ilrl's growth, but ln lts SECOND thcso marks
Of degeneration would iii most individuals
especially tho cocks disappear, mud the plu1nago
would show the thoroughbred Wild turkey.
Earh succeeding generation shows these changes
to be pronounced, but each year Il. the blrl
grows ullcs tho shades ot color Of tho Wild
parent bccomo moro distinct. but Mr.. Cation
has hens now three or four yeara old with bruwn
logs, nnd OIL wiloae frathcfs tho white Inns very
considerably superseded tbs cinnamon shade,
and he Is satisfied tint Without fresh infusion
Ut wild blood In the coursu u f1ttecn or twenty
ycnrs moro but Icw Individuals would show tho
distinctive marks Of tic Wild turkey to anT con-
siderable extent.
The habits ot the wild turkey are not 30
rapidly changed as the form aud eolosing,
still they too change. Tho wild turkey cock
perch we'll up In tho largeat trees In hls
range. and rs hc grows older TIC IS disposed to
toost higher and higher, tlll lie Is frequently
found 0t the very apc1 OF the taltcYt trees.
This habit Is scarcely impaired BY domcsttcatton
In the second and third generations, but after
that the birds grow less md less ambitious Of
high plaees. till ut last they co,no luHn to about
the level Of the domestic turkey. The tfmitity
characteristic OF tic Wild turkey Il eradicntcl
very slowly. When tho Wild turkey In tic for
cst voluntarily leavcs her uest. slle always covs
ers 1t carefully with leaves. This Ia dOno With
less care by the FIRST descendants Of tho wild
hen, aud each succeeding generation becomes
moro careless In this rcapect.
