DEER AND SLEEP.
Foresters Say Animals sleep About
Five Hours I'm Dayfime-Not
at All at Night.

Deer reverse the apparent order of ma
ture, for they sleep in the daytime and
feed at night, says the Scottish Field.
How much sleep they do take is mat
ter OF contention, even among expert
enced stalkers-some say little, others
much On the whole. we are inclined
TO agree with the former, for 1t has
to be remembered that they chew the
cud when lying down. Two most expe-
rienced and observant foresters, the one
in Argyllshire, the other in Aberdeen
shire, thus gave their opinions: deer
sleep or rest from about ten or eleven a..
N. to four p. M" Deer sleep from
noon to i've p. m"
1t is not uncommon occurrence TO
come on deer asleep; stalker in the
Black mount had the rare experience of
coming upon parcel Of seven stays, all
sound asleep. A herd was seen to move
In Clenfeshie, but one stag remained be-
hind, lying motionless. On careful APP
proach be was found to be asleep. Per-
hays, however. the oldest occurrence OF
this nature happened In Braemore, when
stalking party, on going up to the
stag which had just been shot, found a
three-year-old close to it fast asleep. In
fact, it is by no means rare to get within
yard or two Of a sleeping deer.
