Messrs. Bartlett q Haywa lately received from
Tennessee shipment of live quail with which
they intend to stock their shooting preserves
at Cedar Grove, on Bush river. The birds have
been put in large wire enclosure, in which
pile of brushwood has been placed to pro-
tect them from Indictment weather. The quail
will be set free in pairs, when they have become
reconciled to their surroundings. Throughou
the preserves there are platforms raised few
inches from the ground, which are covered with
brushwood and boughs of trees. which will af-
ford the birds protection from hawks and owls
Under the platforms and surrounding them
grain will be placed twice q week. Getting
food so easily will, it is thought, induce the
birds to remain and breed otherwise they
might migrate to places where food may be
more easily obtained. As the number of quail
increase it its expected that some will wander
to other points, but the bulk of them, it is be-
lieved, will remain at home on the preserves.
They are very prolific, and Mr.. Hayward thinks
that in about two years he will have his place
well stocked with thousands of game. Not
until then will he indulge in the pleasure of
shooting them, as he wants to give the expert
ment every chance to develop satisfactorily.
The preserves are already stocked with other
game, and in a short time German pheasants
and hares will be added. A number of both
have been ordered.
