THE SCOTCH MOORS.—The keepers throe.
out the whole of Selkirkshire consider the presto;
to be the most successful hatching season they have /0
for many years, and report most tavourably for the prole
pacts of sportsmen. On the extensive moorlands t:
Ettriok and Yarrow scarcely a shot has been fired I°,
the last two seasons, and except on the very high rat, 5i
the show of grouse and black game is this year expees6l
to be little short of what it was previous to the greh%
mortality among the birds in the spring of 1862.
young grouse are now running in broods of from sever, 't/
ten birds, and black game are sitting plentifully on r u
containing from eight to ten eggs. On the low grow IP;
pheasants have been hatched successfully; and, jude'ie/1
from the stock of old birds, partridges, which are now 141;
ing their eggs, are expected to be numerous. Leve I`l,l
are even now very abundtmt. An experienced Itrj
intelligent keeper, however, says that he has suffole
to an unusual extent forom the robberies of the cef4
mon crows. They are found to destroy the whole eori
in the nests of pheasants and black game in a IA
few minutes; but, so far as his observations have exten4
the courage of the grouse often saves them from the rev ogio
of the intruders. He further observes that it is chieflittel
clear, warm weather that the rooks are destructivelel, 1' of
assigns as a reason for this that when ther finding a p3.11.0f,
moisture they are kept from sucking eggs by
ficiency of grubs.—Seetsman.
