The Success Of Prof. Hodges ESperl-

ments in Massachusetts,.
DIR. Clifton f. Hodge. professor OF
biology at Clark University is having
remarkable success in his efforts to-
ward domesticating the ruffed grouse,
or partridge. The latest achievement
is the raising OF second generation
Of the birds while they are in eaptiy-
ity, five strong healthy Dirls having
hecn hatched two weeks ago by the
mother partridge.
More could scarcely be desired than
to have pair mate and produce their
young in the back yard OF city hone.
so far as is known the birds have acted
exactly the same as their brothers
in the woods, even to the curious act
Of drumming. They are just as large
AS those in the woods ana are lively
and contented One OF the old malo
birds seems TO be especially delighted
when DIT. Hodge enters the enclosure
in which they are kept and plays with
the 3ird as one would with ais pet
cat. In no other case. so far IS is
known, has this species been anywhere
near so perfectly domesticated.
Dr. Hodge began these experiments
in the spring OF 1908, when be obtain
ed some partridge eggs from the woods
and hatched them out under a bantam
hen. At the time he was laughed al
for trying il. But after the chicks
were hatched out. and Il was seen that
they we're being raised, member OF
the Massachusetts Fish anr Game Pro-
tectiye Association who resides IN
Worcester reported the AFFAIR TO a
meeting OF the directors, which then
voted 5000 TO be given to Dr. Hodge
in aid Of his experiments.
He is using Il in enlarglng his en-.
