. FARMERS TAME GROUSE
wild Bird Becomes So Accustomed to
Man It Follows Elm on
the Road.

In August, 1902, while he was pick
ing blackberries, Mr.. Rand, q Vermont
farmer, discovered a flock Of seven
young grouse about %half-grown. The
first of the next October, while MI.
Rand was picking apples, he was sur
prised to see a ruffed grouse walk out
Of the bushes and come under the tree
where he was at work. Blrd-Lore tells
the story:
1.-THE bird did not appear afraid. bue
much interested In what the farmer
was doing. 1t walked round him and
observed him from all sides, and final
ly hoped on the wall, as If to super
intend the apple gathering. The bird
stayed with the farmer at least two
hours, and when he went away he left
1t under the tree.
I'm the following spring, while he
was working in the field, MI. Rand
noticed a grouse following his farm
wagon. The bird was undoubtedly hie
old friend, seeking to renew the &C
quaintance of the preceding fall. The
grouse followed the wagon perhaps 80
rods. until she came in sight OF the
farm buildings. There she stopped
and waited for the wagon to come
back again, and then accompanied the
team down to the field. The grouse
repeated this performance for several
weeks. In fact, almost every time the
farm wagon made its appearance In
the field the bird was on hand to es~
cort the team back and forth.
"As the grouse continued to grow
less shy, Mr.. Rand conceived the idea
of making her tanner by offering her
food and talking to aer. The bird sell
dom ate any Of the food offered her.
Only once did she deign to take a few
kernels Of corn into her mouth. BY
much eoaxing, Mr.. Rand finally sue
ceeded In touching the bird. After
that the grouse showed very little fear.
When Mr.. Rand called tChickeel
chickee!' the bird would come out OF
the woods and sit upon his knee.
From his knee she would fly to hi5
shoulder, and then to the ground.
1.-THE woods which the grouse fire.
quents are composed Of a marginal
growth Of willow, alder, ash and ma
pie, not more than ten rods wide. along
a small stream. On the other side is
cultivated field. A much-traveled
highway passes within ten rods. The
bird is frequently seen by travellers.
In fact, on one occasion she was picked
up by two ladies passing in a carriage,
and was taken to a neighboring farm
house. This confidence in human be-
ings may some day lead to her death
To guard against this. however. MIR.
Rand has conspicuously posted her
haunts, and his wishes are resperted
by the sportsmen."
