Flaps His Wings

"Yes, let's get away from him," says George H. enthusiastically, and wrltea m the "Sun": "Let us get away from the Black Malay," etc. Having got away with an article on black leghorns, it -would not amount to a gigantic effort on his part to get away from black Malays. "I have seen some that had even to lean up, against the pen-side to crow," says referring to the black Malays. George had seen the very same thing; therefore, he 'didn't bother to alter Birkhead's description. "Truth" has not witnessed such a distressing spectacle, but fully expects to sea members of the public lean up against a post to prevent themselves from falling down with laughter; "I get many enquiries from readers of 'Poultry World' relating to mating to .breed," writes Birkhead. So does George! At any rate, he said so m his article by giving Birkhead's -phrase a slight twist to make it read: "I get many enquiries from my readers." Having done this, he steps off happily into another couple of hundred words belonging to Birkhead, wh/ch he does not bother to twist at all. When George lifted this article by Birkhead out of "Poultry World," he didn't go the whole hog. For instance, he omitted to "pirate" the cliagrams and two pictures of somewhat decent-looking hens. This omission may have been due to an oversight, To listen to Geo. H. Ambler on the radio is intriguing. One always wonders whether it is George talking or somebody else. Still— "on the air" or off it— he knows his poultry just as others may know their greengroceries.
