Will go for the next three months after birds of all descriptions.
 Few persons, indeed, excepting market men-and marketmen know a surpris- ing number of things that other people are ignorant of-few others realize how great the slaughter of game is. They know well that it is too great. Inex- haustible as the supply seems to be re- cuperative as mother Nature is, there ia no possible doubt that many of tba choicest birds of North America are doomed to extinction in the near future 1T they are not protected in some way. Already counties and states that were formerly populous with quail and wood. cock, cartridges and prairie chickens are gwen over by the sportsmen as hopeless, While the pothunter has gone perforce ihto other business, or has "gone west"
 Blg as the country is, its resources will not last forever if the war of extermina- ton goes on. There is no lack of laws. Indeed, in most states there are too many laws. They stumble over one another. Our legislators see the danger and try, according to their lights, to avert it; but the slaughter still continues.
 There will be many readers who will, perhaps, ridicule this, and truly it is difficult for one who has traversed the forests of Maine or of Arkansas to real. tze that the supply of game birds can

 The skill and the real pleasure of the sport, however, is in the shooting of sin gle birds Their flight is very swift, and though not as cratic as that of some others, it is different indeed from that of the most Of the field and wood birds. The latter are apt to fly straight, no matter how swiftly but the flight of the snipe is usually a succession of rapid curves, upward, downward and to either side Only two hours before 1 began writing this page flock of fully twenty, startled by the shot of a brother hunter, circled around toward where I stood. By the time my gun was at my shoulder they were within twenty feet of my face flying directly at me. fired, but the Instant l did so, the flock divided, one half going past me on either side, and one shell was wasted, It was the rare experience of missing because the mark vas too near
 It IS not many years ago that snipe- at least the coast varieties--were only to oe found on the coast. Now they say they shoot the very same kinds as far west as Salt Lake 1t seems a most re- markable instance of a change of habit
 The confusion of game laws makes it almost impossible for a gunner to know what he may or may not shoot in his own state, and utterly impossible for an average man 10 remember all the con tlctiug statutes in different states. It Is therefore out of the question to talk Of open seasons with any degree of &C., euracy. All that may be said is that the season is almost at hand for almost all game or is now open.
 Shooting over dog is the ideal of most American bird hunters, and there is nothing to urge against the idea pro Nded the dog is all he should be-in other words, if he understands his busi- ness thoroughly and knows the man who IS behind him For the man who has such a dog and a good gun, a good aim and good pair of legs, the autumn is Full of glorious sport. The legs are necessary, for know of no part of the country where quail can now be success iuIly shot as we used to hunt them h northern Alabama, on horseback.

ACtoSS PRAIRIE3 AND FLOWED FIELDS. ever be exhausted. But with 60,000, 900 of people, increasing at million year, many things are possible, The Indians fnd white hunters of the plains a gen ,ration ago laughed at the idea of the buffalo disappearing, but he is gone.
 And it is to be said in all fairness that the true sportsman is not to be blamed for it all If sportsmen were twice as numerous, it may fairly be doubted if they would exterminate single desirable species. Unfortunately for the sportsman the pothunters kill scores where they kill single birds, and the pothunters, shooting or trapping for the markets and eager for the high prices of the early season, break the game laws fifty times willfully where the sportsman may violate them once in ignorance.
 There is another kind of shooting, al most as distinct from what we have been considering as is the shooting of "big game" When the ducks come from the north the sportsman has use for entirely different tactics. He also has use for a vigorous constitution and for a hearty contempt of hardship. For the young man, however, who has not yet come to love his comfort and ease too much, duck shooting is perhaps the most exhilarat- ing of all bird hunting. And with de- cent luck the temptation to excessive slaughter is very great. It may be, how ever, as IS claimed. that there is far less danger of exterminating the migratory coast birds than the field birds. Coming as they do from their breeding places, down along the shore in countless focks, they escape the hunter by flying on, while the field birds only go from the range of one gun into that of another.
 Aside from the question of game pres ervation, which seems to be one that has only been solved by people who have class legislation, there is open for consideration the greater question of field sports and their availability for the general public. Sport people will have In one shape or another, and sport in some shapes has proven disastrous to a goodly percentage of American youth. It seems to be a sensible suggestion right now that the young man who desires
