1t is unfortunate that such truly American product as the turkey should have received such name. Just how it came to be ehristened turkey is matter of conjecture, but one early writer sayE: Tt appears to have been intended as satire upon the solemn strut of the bird, which might appear to give it resemble nee to the pomp- ous stride of Turk, Most assuredly it did not arise from the native place of the bird, which has no connection with eastern Europe or Asia. To sup- pose the bird Beleagris, mentioned> by Greek writers, to have been the tur- key is quite a mistake. When discov- cred in America it was seen both in wild and domestic state"
