Mary had little lamb;
One day it got the Group;
She sold it to a packing house
It's now canned ox-tail soup.
Mary had to have a pet;
She bought cunning COW;
Which died of splitting headaches
It's country sausage now.

And then pIggie got;
The piggie died of tummy ache
It's boned ham, like as not.
Mary saw the packers make
A fortune from her pets,
But she could hardly clear enough
On them to pay her debts.

No not exactly red. As a matter Of TACT, he
wears one or two little tufts Of white on his
cheeks, Just as though he-the pronOun Is here
intended to apply to both sexes-had begun to
use his powder-puff and been interrupted IN the
midst of It. While this effect Is somewhat humor-
Gus, It is for all any one knows, among the parts
Of his makeup which the Florida quail takes the
most pride in.
Along the rufied front and back. too, there
are a few daubs Ct yellow. In this case, at least
the disguise Is a perfect success. If It were
not for the form, this bird would never be lden-
titled with the rutied quail that IS commonly
known as Bob White.

at disguise than Goes the variety of quail which
inhabits the mountains of California and Ore

of a tigers hide.
Only his legs give him away; for. with all
his adeptness at making up" he has not dlscov-
cred the art of wearing trousers.

that his garments are copiously sprlnkled with

been given a blue coat for purpose OF selt-pro-
tectioni

spect but dress is the scaled quail that inhabits
the country between the Rocky Mountains and

severe heat and cold.
A proud bird. too. The little white plume
which surmounts his cute little round head is
evidently priced by him even more than his
pretty pink neck, his tawny back or his rufied
chest, looking as though covered with 2 coat of
shining brass mail.
If one doubts that he is vain over that
plume, one should see him in motion. He ap-
parently skins over the surface of the ground,
holds his head high, and spreads out his plume
like fan.
When Mr. Bob White appears in public in
Florida it is neither in a blue nor in rutied
costume, nor, indeed, in anything like them, but
about as great a contrast as could be imagined.

When caught and domesti, ted Bob White

1t is possible in a remarkably short time to
so domesticate captive quail that he viii APP
proach and feed out of your hand. All natural
shyness IS soon cast aside; indeed, that inherent
instinct of vanity seems to rise Immediately to
the surface when attention is shown.
When the eggs of the quail are Matched by
q hen the offspring take TO existing conditions
as naturally as do chicks, and it has been
noticed that little quail Matched by a captive
quail are domesticated from the start. This
would seem to SHOW, according to naturalsts.
that there is no yearning in the breast of the
woods. But later on, when they reach maturity,
strangely enough, their wild nature gets the bet
ter of the offspring and they fly away
Most interesting to the person who under
takes to domestcate quail is the observation Of
how their inherited instincts affect their lfe on
the farm.
Take, for instance, brood of young quail
which have been Matched under a hen and have
never seen their kind. Naturally, one would eX-
pect them to initiate the hens or chickens; and
so they do when they are young.
But as they grow it Is noticed that instead
of going into the chicken pen at night they form
a close cluster about it, and spend the night
in regular quail fashion.
Attempts to get them to roost with the
chickens re fairly successful in winter, bat rs

More gaily than giddy chorus girl is the
quail of Virginia dressed A half-dozen differ
ent colors combine in his costume. Deep lumber,
white and chrome yellow are commingled in
his head: wine-colorcI circle winds about his
neck. variegated with grass-green on his throat;
his breast is Naples yellow his tail is blue, and
the deep-brown feathers on his back and wings
are fringed with streaks of bright yellow.
Can any other bird match Bob White as a
dresser9 If not. please take off your Aats to
him as the Dude of the Feathered Kingdom.
1t would seem, too, that there is certain
vanity in his heart which Graves being noticed,
for he prefers open fields or brushy places to
forest.
Indeed, when chased into the woods, his
vanity-or what appears to be vanity-doesnt
desert him. he nimbly runs along limbs and
branches with an air which seems to say: do
l not travel gracefully!"
Elegance of carriage also characterizes the
movements of the quail on the ground.
Another thing seems to indicate that Bob
White. wherever he is found, likes to attract at
tention. When he flies aturally, without being
frightened, it is noiseless, graceful fight. but

Just what there is about Arizona to warrant

when scared he preludes his trip with a whir-
ring sound, produced by the unusually rapid mo
ton of his short wings. Is this an evidence OF
vanity or only an incident2
The American quail or partridge which IS
found ii almost all parts of the United States,
is the true Bob White. It is he who, sitting on a
rail or stump, keeps repeating the words that
first suggested the nickname.
Sometimes when he DISCUSSES himself he dis
guises his voice also. In one instance it is only
a whistle instead of dob white; in another, a
plaintive little murmur, resembling the cooling
of dove.
Even the simonspure Bob White uses vari-
atoms. His expression of tenderness is q soft.
twittering sound; when frightened, it is a lam
entable whistle.
Through the winter quail live in coveys,
but as soon as spring comes each male chases
and wins his female, although, sometimes, only
after hard fighting. Then come combats over de-
sirable sites for nests.
Sitting on the fences, the males seem to wish
to make themselves as conspicuous as possible,
and, especially in the spring Of the year, APP
pear TO constantly wear chips on their shoulders,
About the first of May the female begins 70
build her nest In tussock f grass or weeds.
AS the grass grows high, it not only hides the
little house, but forms an archway over the door.
As proof that Bob White is a gallant IN
more ways than IN dress, witness the fact that
he alternates with his wife IN sitting the
eggs; and when his mate sits be is sure to be
found nearby on sentry duty. And when the
brood Is Matched he does not like many fcthers,
lose interest but takes his turn in caring for the
little ones, leading them about and receiving
them under his wings when they approach.
