"Two Mexicans trying to talk Eng- ( ish, and Col. Tobe Hester and his ;ang trying to talk Spanish, all of j hem "sports" aud admirers of fine ihickens," said Dr. Herbert Harris his morning, "surely does make , lome confusion." Dr. Harris refers to the two Mexi:ans who are now at Colonel Hester's ] >uying chickens. They have * been | here for some time now, and are ] ;till buying and shipping gaitoe chick>ns to Mexico. y i Dr. Harris struck a mediu?^yhru ' vhich a limited conversation ?could < >e carried on. He tried out his "war rrench" on the Mexicans and was < ewarded by having one of them re- < ipond readily to his queries in ( rrench. Then a "three way" conversion was begun. Dr. Harris and one I If the Mexicans'laborously convers- 1 ;d in French, which in turn, Dr. Har- 1 is translated to Mr. Hester in Eng- 1 ish, and the Mexican translated his n turn to his partner. I "Those fellows," continued Dr. 1 larris are buying about 200 of Mr. > Jester's finest chickens. They ship ' Aoo -focf nc t.Vipv ran. ^ nem to iucailu ao ?w -?,, They bu'ld coops, and ship them out J Tom Calhoun Falls, and with the ex:ellent service, they arrive inLare- J lo, Mexico in five days. The cocks ] jave to be put into separate coops, vith partitions between so they will J tot attempt to fight. ] "One sweet potato, one apple and ' t handful of corn soaked in water ire placed in the coops. This is trav- ( :l'ng rations for the fowls on their rip to Mexico. No water is placed in 1 he coops. The coops, too, are cover- ! >d over with cloth." ' Dr. Harris says that the fowls 1 tyerage $12.50 each in price, and ' hat even under the difficulties, the ' Mexicans are proving themselves ( jood buyers, and are certainly good udges of fine chickens. ifuc-AT nDnpc TO nni I AR 1 rr ni-rt i i/iwi ^ v ...
