THOSE WHO WILL RAISE
PHEASANTS IN AUDRilN

Within the next few days the pheas-
amt eggs sent by State to ]. H. Swind
Ter for Matching IN incubators, will
give forth their chicks. AS soon as
thought advisable, they viii be ap-
portioned among the various farmers
in the county who have expressed a
desire TO raise them. Much care is
required in their early stage but
later they will be liberated, and, it
is hoped. stock the county in few
years.
Those who will be furnished with
10 pheasants each are: c. +.
Clark, Joe Considine, Frank Jesse,
Geo Dean, Jack Harrison VIII nodd,
S. p. Carter, Thos. Harrison, w. w.
johnson, Oscar Lewis. Judge A. Car
ter, Miss Emma Green, Wash w.
Miller, H. P. Warden, Clarence Har-
vey, Thomas Crum and w. G. Sims.
1t is said that the chinch bug,
which destroys $1OO.0O0,OOO worth of
wheat a year, lis hunted by the pleas
am both summer and winter.
One difference between the pheas-
ant and ordinary fowls in eating in
sects is that the pheasant is eontinu
ally hunting for the eggs and larvae
Of insects. In the grain fields and
meadows the insect eggs are usually
laid on the under side of the leaves
of the plants. The pheasant as it
passes through the growing grain
keeps its head near the ground
and turns one eye up and the other
down, so it sees the larvae and
eggs on the under side of the leaf.
1t takes hold of the leaf with its
bill throws ats head up and cleans the
plant Of the eggs and larvae without
tnjuring the leaf. Thus at one stroke
ii destnoys 4 or or possibly 100
embryo insects and i'm single meal
often destroys many thousands of in
sects In the egg and larval form.
The pheasant destroys the pests be-
fore they do any damage to the far
mer's crops, the turkey and COM
mon poultry afterward.
Pheasants are fond Of grasshopper
eggs and especially fond of those of
the locust, which deposits eggs in the
earth in dry places. Pheasants in
captivity have been know to dig up
light ground where there are many
larvae to depth Of four inches.
The pheasant chooses the dande
lion and the bulbs of buttercups as
two of its greatest vegetable delica-
cies. 1t eats comparatively few buds
from bushes and trees, excepting in
severe winters. In this way it is diff
ferent from the grouse. OF the grass
es 1t has a liking for white and
red clover, alfalfa and red and yell
low sorrel, but when there are plen-
ty Of dandelions and buttercups 1t
will make the latter its principal veg
etable diet.
