A young woman of Oregon has ac-
complished what the most experienced
fanciers have been unable to do; that
Is, the domestic propagation of the Den
ny pheasant. She has tanned the wild
young chicks so that they are willing
to feed among the domestic fowl and
do not try to escape to the Woods and
fields, She has four pheasant hens in
captivity and puts their eggs under a
domestic fowl. 1t Is the opinion of ex-
perts that the chicks hatched from eggs
laid In the pheasant's native nest in
the feals and Matched by a domestic
fowl win never be tanned.
