BOB WHITE.
Being a True Story of the Habits of
the Quail.

Bob White belongs to the family OF
birds technically known as tetraOnidae.
This family has in it about 800 spe-
cies and is composed largely of the
grouse, partridge, quail and pheasant
1t is subdivided into three subfamilies
as follows: Prrdicinae, containing the
true quails and partridges of the old
world; or dontopharinae, comprising
the Bob Whites and the so-called
quails and partridges of the new
world and tetaonidae, which includes
the grouse, with representatives at the
northern parts of both hemispheres
The entire family consists of ground
inhabiting birds. Their plumage, of
blended browns, bluffs and grays, har-
monize with their surroundings and
makes it difficult to see them until,
with a whirring of short, stiff, round
ed wings, they spring from the ground
at our feet.
The name Bob White is derived
from the familiar utterances of the
bird In the north and west it is call
ed the quail and in the south the
partridge. The name quail properly
belongs to a smaller migratory bird
found in the old world-the quail of
Bible story-while partridge" in
New England. universally applied to
the ruffed grouse, strictly speaking,
al
genus Webster, in defining the word
partridge" says that within small
sections of country, even in New Eng
land, this name is differently and va
riouSly applied, so that it is impossible
20 say exactly to what bird it applies.
The range of our Bob White eX-
tends north through the eastern
United States and southern Ontario
and Canada; west to eastern Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and eastern Texas, and south TO Geor-
gia, Alabama and the other gulf
states. 1t is one of the most widely
distributed of what is known as our
game birds, being found everywhere,
more or less abundantly, in suitable
places within the United States, east
of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
by a smaller bird of the same spe-
cieS.
Bob Whites are not migrants. Wells
w. Cook, of the biological division of
the United States department of agri-
culture, is without doubt the best
versed man in this country on the
subject of bird migration. He says
that many a cardinal, Carolina wren
and Bob White rounds out its whole
contented life within ten miles of its
birthplace. While this is true, it is
also true of the Bob Whites that some
of them are very restless in the au-
tumn and seem possessed with a desire
to migrate. At such times l have
known them to come into the city.
In the autumn of 1903 l whistled to
one just across the street from our
residence in Indianapolis, and it an
swered my call and came to within
a few feet Of where l was standing on
the lawn. In the language OF Henry
II. Stanton:

James Visits the Country.-A 10
vear-old lad by the name of James
Something had his first glimpse OF
country life last summer. He learned
a lot of new things about what COW
or sheep or a colt will do or will not
do under a given set of circumstances
but he got the greatest surprise of his
rural sojourn when he walked by a
swamp place one morning and saw
a bunch of cattails growing.
He took one more look to make sure
he saw Alright, and then he broke
into a lope for the farmhouse
SAY" he yelled out excitedly at his
farm host. IT never knowed them
things growed on long stems like that!
I've ct a lot of 'em. but I never seen
'em growing before. Do they all grow
that way?"
The farmer asked him what he was
talking about.
"why. them sausages!" he replied
"Ain't you noticed 'em?"-Cleveland
