A statement which will prove a
| pleasing bit of information to hunters
| Of small game, was made, the other
| day, by Hon. +. +. Ring, commission
er Of forestry and a member of the
| commission Of inland fisheries and
game. The talk was about cartridges,
and when asked about the prospect for
| fall shooting, as far as these delicious
game birds were concerned, Mr.. Ring
said that it should be good, as there
We're lots of them. The chicks are with
their mothers yet. but they are grow
ing ana by the time that the law goes
on, Sept. Is. they will be big birds, and
ready for the hunter.
The present season has been an ex-
ceptionally good one for partridges
The birds wintered Wen, last winter
as there was no crust, which often
causes the death of many by imprison-
ing them under the snow, and it is
probable that more of the birds sur
vived the season of ice and snow than
for 4 number of years.
Judging from the sizes of the broods
which he has seen in his travels
through the woods, Mr.. Ring saws that
the eggs Matched out Well, and the
weather which has prevailed since the
Matching period has been very favora-
BILE for the propagation of the young
sters. Mr.. Ring has Travelled all over
the wooded parts of the State. and ev-
eryWhere he has seen young cartridges
in great numbers, from which fact the
opinion is reached that the birds will
be more plenty, this fall, than ever be
fore.
