Show Texas Mocking Bird. Says a dealer in birds: -I am surprised sur-prised that no ono has ever thought of capturing several hundred Texas mocking birds while young and taking them to Germany. Thero they wOuW be entrusted for a year or so to the peasants of the Hartz mountains district, dis-trict, where the nightingale, the golden gold-en thrush, the linnet, the bullfinch and dozens of sweet warblers fly wild. It would not be long before the Texas mockers would be singing all their songs sweetly. Then bring them back to the United States, turn them loose in their native woods, and let them teach their fellows the songs they had learned abroad. This is every bit as good an idea as that of Bonding, at the government gov-ernment expense, a corps of colored cooks to the countries of Europe to show the iHsople how to make corn bread, and thus create an additional market for our American corn." |
