Kent county sportsmen are indignant
at the wholesale slaughter Of game dur
ing this freeze. The feeding places of
both cartridges and rabbits being covered
by the snow, birds and rabbits are forced
alike to hedge-rows and other protected
places, to seek food. All Of these feeding
places, or at least many Of them, are be-
ing destroyed. Entire coveys of birds
and many rabbits are being killed as
they huddle in punches or singly in pro-
tected places. Many farmers are feeding
the birds of all kinds. 1t is generally con-
ceded that not in years has Kent county
had such an abundant supply OF stock
birds and rabbits as at the close of the
season in December last, but they are be-
slaughtered now.
