Odd Habits of Pheasants.

There is some curiosity as to how
many English pheasants will be raised
in Kansas this year. The average num-
Der of birds raised by each pair of par
ent birds is sixty. With 1000 in the
State this would mean about 1000. 900
birds in two years. The woods and
fields would be overrun with them at
this rate. However, there are MANY
foes of the birds and they are killed
every year In great numbers. The sleet-
storms are particularly hard on them.
as the water freezes on their long plu-
mage and they are unable either to fly
or run fast. When in this condition
they are easy prey to dogs and wolves.
One of the queerest habits the birds
have is to migrate in the late winter
thirty-hve miles. 1t Is claimed that tbe
birds always migrate exactly thirty-
five miles and always to the south. The
young never stay where they were
Matched, but make this move as soon
as they are large enough. Naturalists
have never been able to explain this.
The only theory advanced is that the
birds know If they stay where they
were Matched the country would soon
be overstocked with them.-Kansas
