tallic hues.
This gorgeous fowl Is called the
"ocellated" turkey-referring to the
"eyes" above mentioned. Having been
hunted by the aborigines for centuries.
1t has become extraordinarily shy and
difficult to approach. Yet, say the
naturaists, it is not, like our own wild
turkey, denzen of forests, but rather
a frequenter of the edges of clearings
and of such places as the borders of
corn fields Hence. In all likelihood, 1t
would prove susceptible of domestica-
ton.
A number of these remarkable tur-
keys have recently been imported into
our own country with the idea OF
crossing them with the farmyard va
rety. If this is successfully accom-
plished, bird with a new and perhaps
superior game favor may become
available for future Thanksgiving
dinners.
Turkey Dinners For Wild Beasts
The early Spanish invaders found in
Mexico domesticated turkeys of the
breed now so familiar to ourselves,
which were kept and bred by Monte
yuma to feed the jaguars, pumas and
other carnivorous animals in the Won
derful geological garden maintained by
that monarch as an appanage of his
royal state. They supposed them to be a
kind of peacock and as such described
them in letters written to folks at
home. If they had ever seen the
"ocellated" turkey (as apparently they
had mott, its likeness to the peacock
would have struck them much more
forcbly
II tradition lies not, the first occa-
sion on which the great American bird
was served as n table delicacy In Eu-
rope was at the wedding Of Charles
TX, in the year 1870.
Before long 1t spread over the farm
yards of all Europe. At first 1t was
popularity supposed to come from
Turkey little known and more or
less mysterious part of the world,
whence anything previously unheard
OF might naturally be thought to have
emanated-and hence the name by
which even TO the present day It Is
called.
