approached sometimes. However, this does
not happen very often, as it is usually only
by accident that one can find prairie chickens
in full view. 1t is much different when
one has gun.
The prairie hen begins laying, in the lati-
tude of Dakota, early in May, laying from.
ten to fifteen eggs about the size of those of
These hatch in from eighteen to twenty
days, and in three to five days afterward the
young birds can fly little. They mature
rapidly, and attain more than half their
growth and shed their down and pin-feathers
in the course of FIVE or six weeks, and at
three months are as strong in flight as the
old birds, though not able to travel 50 far.
Prairie chickens are very prolific, often
Matching three broods of chicks in a season,
though two is the usual number The first
brood, though thrust out to shift for itself,
seldom remains far away from the parent.
nest.
/ am sorry to say that, eaten at his best,
the prairie chicken must be shot at the time
when the law forbids killing him, unless one
can find late brood. There is nothing so
delicious as prairie chicken of five weeks,
when he has just bit of down remaining on
his neck and is about half grown-that is,
slightly larger than quail.
One hears a great deal about the virtues of
quail as dish fit for kings, but compara-
lively few people know the delight of eating
fried prairie chicken such as l have just de-
ScrlDed.
The meat of the bird more than six months
ole is dark, but that of young chicken of a
few weeks is white, and so tender that the
moxsels literally melt in ones mouth.
To shoot prairie chickens, first get into a
country where they are plenty. There is no
satisfaction in shooting two or three as the re-
suit of days work.
Then, with good well-trained dog and a
light, trustworthy breechloader, the. rest is
easy. Either pointer or setter dog may
be used, though many prefer a pointer, on
account of his short hair, which enables him
to Withstand the heat My own experience
with three Gordon settlers has, however, been
perfectly satisfactory.
A light, twelve bore gun is best, as one is
often obliged to do rapid shooting Shells
should be loaded with 31a drains of rather
coarse powder and 1S ounce Of No. z or
No. 8 shot, No. 7ebeing preferred, except for
very young chickens.
In late fall, when the birds are stronger
and wilder, use No. 6, and, if you can get
an occasional shot during the winter, use No.
5 chilled.
Shooting in farming region. start in the
