Protect the Parsridges.

Mr.. George Dobbin Penniman. presi-
dent of the Maryland State Game and
Fish Protective Association, says
Every sportsman should arrange with
his country friends to feed the patridges
during the snow. The winter so far has
been very favorable to the birds. and il
they are cared for now, the loss will be
very slight. Many farmers do not shoot.
and, therefore, do not care to protect the
birds on their own account; but if their
city friends who stay with them would
write. and say that they will stand the cx-
pense of few bushels of damaged grain,
a great deal OF good will be done. The
birds should be fed by clearing away the
snow under cedar trees and other places
where the birds will be protected from
hawks, along streams or marshes, where
birds are known to spend the winter. and
grain should be placed in these cleared
spots. Ii is better to place small quanti-
ties OF grain at great many places, and
then visit the feeding places the next day,
when the spots the birds have found can
be easily recognized. If tree-top is pull
ed by the horse which is ridden through
the woods to carry the grain for feed, a
path can be made, and little grain
spread along this path to the feeding
ground.
