MARSH SHOOTING,

marsh birds Only rigid adherence "a
decency OF conduct can prevent that,

all wrong; and unless a man sticks 10
the principle that nothing except game
bird Is excuse for shooting our marshes
will lose some Of their most picturesque
and beautiful Inhabitants. I know that
anglers howl Internationally for the exter'
minatlon OF all heron, cranes and King
fishers; ! know also what damage the
latter birds do, and also certain species
OF heron, such as the little green heron
Yet I have no desire 10 drive out these
feathered fellow hshermen-no wish to
fish In solitary hoggish comfort Where
herons and kingfshers become too num-
erous, there is no reason why their num-

needless, and a policy which never can
