been shown to warrant the belief that
corruption had been practiced on q
large scale and that conditions in tho

Lorimer's election. We believe that

PRAIRIE CHICKENS AND QUAIL,

There are quite a number Of both
prairie chickens and quail in the neigh

informs us that all this winter he has
had two fiocks OF quail for company out
81 his farm. They come into the barn
yard and feed unconcernedly with the
chickens and often 90 into the hog pen
to pick up food. They are fairly tame.
at least they show no signs OF fright
when he goes into the barnyard. Dur
ing the winter flock of about thirty
prairie chickens learned that food was
plenty. around tho barn. and they came
there regularly to feed. They are wilder
than the quail and do not approach go

has taken great pains to see that these
birds have had plenty of food. and woe

them. He is going to send to the game

he does not get his application in too
late. We wish more of our farmer
