! make himself a feathered corkscrew,
| twisted his way through air. Still,
with patience, Workmanship and a bit
of luck one may make fair bag,
but rarely a big one.
Summer shooting is practiced in
many places, but the best sport comes
in autumn, when migrating birds halt
for rest and refreshment Then a
good gun we'll handled should account
for several brace each time out. At
other times one brace, or even a
single. bird to half a dozen misses, is
no dicredit to sportsman skill.
Doves are Plentiful.
For every snipe or woodcock the
southland shows there are at least a
hundred doves, and very probably five
hundred partridges Partridge is there
the common name of quail. The true
partridge is called pheasant and is so
rare except in the mountain regions
that it is practically beyond considera-
ton. Like the wild turkey it has
disappeared before the axe rather
than the rifle. Cleared fields might
furnish it food in greater plenty than
ever, but they have taken away the
sylvan solitude within which it breeds
and fourishes.
Doves increase almost inversely to
the spread of cortland, although they
| are wood birds, haunting and nesting
there The nest is a ramshackle af-
fair a thin huddle of crossed stick
with no pretense of lining, set high or
low besides a big bough according to
the builders caprice. Notwithstanding.
it suffices to rear young broodS each
season. The first eggs are laid in
March By September, when dove
shooting begins, the first broods are
rs plump and well-feathered as their
elders and only to be distinguished
from them when it comes to eating.
Young birds are tender enough for
broiling; old ones required to be stew
ed, or else parboiled and then baked
in a pie.
Before the broiling or baking comes
the killing. This is not so easy. Doves
fly strongly They are, further, so ar
mored in feathers that a glancing shot
is ant to be turr.ed aside. The best
place for dove shooting is beside a
stream or pond close to a cornfield.
The doves feed in the corn, pecking
much grain, and searching out more
of the fields insect haunters. They
are SO fond of corn that in winter they
will creep th1 ough hooks and cram
MES in crib walls to feast on it, and
then lack the wit to go back the way
they came. Sometimes they die Of
thirst when thus entrapped. Oftener
they end by having their necks wrung
in punishment of their greed.
Doves fly commonly in company;
there NAV be two or twenty in a flight
they choose out special watering
Places and come to them steadily, I'M
less much disturbed. A good light
breech- loader, right barrel straight,
left choke bored. with No. shot, and
strong. quick burning powder. are re-
ouisite for the best sport. The gum
ner does not build a blind. but melts
as nearly as he may into some sucn
familiar object az tree trunk, salt
trough, or even a fodder stack. He
stands stock still beside ii and until
he moves the doves regard him as
