The turkey that pays best for do
mestic purposes is the bronze, of the
handsome breed that has been de-
veloped in the last generation in this
country. All turkeys have been de-
veloped in America for that matter.
Notwithstanding its foreign name the
turkey is native of this continent,
and was not known in Europe till it
was introduced from the western
world. That is another debt the in
habitants of Europe owe to America.
We.have not only set them the example
of a great people, happy and prosperous
under republican government, but we
have given them the turkey Prairie
