Behold! the trees new deck their withered boughs; Their ample leaves, the hospitable plane,The taper elm, and lofty ash disclose; The blooming hawthorn variegates the scene. The lily of the vale, of flowers the queen, Puts on the robe she neither sewed nor spun; The birds on ground, or on the branches green,Hop to and fro, and glitter in the sun. Soon as oer eastern hills the morning peers,From her low nest the tufted lark upsprings; And, cheerful singing, up the air she steers; Still high she mounts, still loud and sweet she sings. Now is the time for those who wisdom love,Who love to walk in virtues flowery road, Along the lovely paths of Spring to rove,And follow Nature up to Natures God. —Michael 105 WILD Life size COPYRIGHT 1900, BY A.

They frequent wooded districts and areby nature very wary and shy, yet they are very easily trapped andit was this means that has driven them from most of their formerrange. At present they are taken chiefly by trailing or by have a remarkable keen sense of sight and smell and a strongpair of legs with which to run away, as well as good wings if neces-sity demands their use. With plenty of cover, the turkey is prettycapable of caring for himself. —Game Birds.
