To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The domestic turkey can scarcely be said to be divided, like the common fowl, into distinct breeds ; although there is consi- derable variation in color, as well as in size. The finest and 48 DOMESTIC TURKEY. strongest birds are those of a bronzed-black ; these are not only- reared the most easily, but are generally the largest, and fatten the most rapidly. Some turkeys are of a coppery tint, some of a delicate fawn-color, while others are parti-colored, grey, and white, and some few of a pure ...snow white. All of the latter are regarded as inferior to the black, their color indicating some- thing like degeneracy of constitution. To describe the domestic turkey is superfluous; the voice of the male; the changing colors of the skin of the head and neck; his proud strut, with expanded tail and lowered wings, jarring on the ground; his irascibility, which is readily excited by red or scarlet colors, are points with which all who dvvell in the country are conversant. The adult turkey, is extremely hardy, and bears the rigors of winter with impunity even in the open air; for during the severest weather, flocks will frequently roost at night upon the roof of a barn, or the branches of tall trees, preferring such an accommodation to an indoor roost.
