Last week forty eight conductors on the
Union Pacific railroad, running 0at Of

this wholesale slaughter is from the fact that

Prairie Chlrkcns.

The shsrp-tailed grouse or prairie chick
en- as he is called In Oregon and WASH
iugton, seems TO be fast nearing total sxter-
mInation. Six years ago, man could ride
ont Fl ON The DaIles to Alkali Franks, II
distance of nine miles, and kill fifty OF these
spleniid birds easier than he can now go out
and kill a half dozen. The same thing is
observable about Walla Walia and Dayton,
where these birds are now no longer offered
for sale In the poultry markets and are rare
ly seen, even upon private tables, much less
IN hotels and restaurants. The Indians at
tribute this growing srarCity to the eApane-
ion Of grain culture, and say the prairie
chickens natural food becomes destroyed by
plowiug the ground. This We do Lot be
licve. 1t is far more probable that the Set
ting up Of the country las led 10 these
splendid birds being shot during the mating
season by the settlers and their sons. lt Is
true that the seeds OF the bunch-grass arc
the natural food OF these birds; but you
cannot make me believe they will not eat
wheat, and fatten on 1t too.
The above is from the pen Of Tom Merry

from personal observation We can assure
him tina. notwithstanding the scarcity Of
chickens the past three years, they are LOW
becoming as plentiful as ever. The cause Of
their recent rarity is attributed by farmers
to the poisoned wheat set out to kill the
squirrels. They are now very plentiful be.
tween Dayton and Walla Walla and IN re-
cent drive we noticed thousands. Ia the
Palouse country they are so plentiful as to
cause great damage, and prominent nurs-
eryman there recently informed US that he
had to employ men to keep them OF his
grounds. By-the-way, i. may be interesting
to sportsmeu to know that sage hens are
becoming very numerous. On recent trp
I'D the line of the Columbia river railroad We
noticed several covsys flying heavily along.
These birds are excellent eating, but, hav-
ing no gizzards, must be cleaned OF their en-
trails Immediately after being killed.
