NATURAL HISTORY 
(Continued from page 117) 
contrary, the hens show a strong predi- 
lection for the barnyards and feed with 
the domestic fowls until the time arrives 
for the females to start laying, when 
they take to the coverts. 1 have obtained 
a very fine photograph showing an ordi- 
nary Pheasant cock and one of the hy- 
brids. In conformation the birds are 
practically identical. The hybrid is 
white with a slight mottling of brown, 
brilliant red hackles and characteristic 
long tail of the pheasant. The legs are 
yellow with large scales l)ut, of course, 
this does not show up in the picture. 
Several of these birds were killed dur- 
ing the season at widely separated points 
and they are regarded as quite a curi-^ 
osity.”

A SPORTSMAN TO HIS

shooting. As we suddenly rounded a: 
bend there was an old bull ’gator on af,'| 
high bluffy bank, with his burly blacks 
head resting slothfully on a tussock. I j 
had an ounce-ball (a “punkin”) in the'! 
right barrel of my shotgun. When he, 
quick as a wink, leaped for the water, ' 
while on the wing and fully four feet i 
above the river, the “punkin” smashed in ; 
his front door. He turned convulsively, J 
landing on his back quivering. I couldn’t t| 
do that accident again to save me. He 
was the first armored airplane I ever' 
shot down. We towed the bull horne, 
and sent abroad the word of the kill. 
The negroes came and skinned him. 
From his powerful muscular tail they 
cut huge slabs of steak, which they 
greatly relish. 
Y our brother left us two days ap, 
and I went part of the way with him. 
Riding home, I got into the big timber 
below the avenue, just about sundown. I 
had pulled in my horse to take a good 
look at some of those big yellow pines
