Why PlRTREDGES ARE SCARCE.
The Migratory Instinct That Possesses the
Birds ENe cry n or 30 Years.

WiHsfed correspondent Springfield RepUbiiC0H.
The following opinion Of 4. y. SkiltOn, a
learned nimrOd residing here. as to why par
tridges have been scarce the last season
ought to interest hunters In New York, MassR-
chusetts and Connecticut where at present
there il much agitation in favor Of prohibiting
the taking of the bird for a few years.
Every twenty-five or thirty years par
tridges seem to become possessed OF a sort OF
migratory instinct or craze" he says. and
for no apparent reason whatever they appear,
during the summer and fall, to travel con-
tinuslly from place TO place and from cover
to cover. and so far as my Obser walton goes
they do not get settled or established in any
particular locality till late in December.
This il one OF their migratory years. This
freak in the partridge nature has never been
fully explained, and I am unable to advance
any tenable theory explaining the fact ex-
cepting possibly the recurrence of ancestral
migratory instinct at any rate it is not for
want OF food or better location. I'D 70 the
middle OF December in 1850 Winsted Sports
men were getting no more than one or two
cartridges q day. and often none at all. Ia
fact there were very many less birds in tho
covers that year than there have been this. yet

found cartridges in their usual ~abnndanca
and many good bags were made. They will
