PARTRIDGE AND wOODCoCK.
Sportsmeu in this State report that it
Is too early to determine whether or not
the partridge and woodcock are to be
plenty. Although the woodcock have APP
parently finished moulting i, the fact that
they do not whistle when they fly, have
hardly any scent and are very poor in
flesh, shows that they have not fully re-
covered from the effects Of doing SO. AS
to partridge. they are an unknown guam
tity at this season OF the year. as they are
scattered all over the territory. some be-
ing out In the fields where black berries |
grow, and others located where they can |
have access to springs of water, owing 60
the drouth and lack OF water in brooks. |
After we have some storms to I'LL the |
brooks, then the birds, both woodoook |
and partridge. will return to their natural |
feeding grounds, and We can then tell /
whether or not they are plenty.
