is a national birb. The turkey nutwith

ancient voyagers dropped anchor off Axa-

snow white crimes and a certaio large
bird which epicures have since learned
worship under the name of turkey.
His merits were quickly discovered
by the early "i-xplor. rs and adventurers
from other countries, as the journals of
Captain John Smith, William Byrd and
their contemporaries attest, and it was
nut long before he was to be found on
the tablea of Kunpe. Brillat Savarin,
of gastrouomic and literary fame, called
