The Bobwhite.

They most certainly should not be killed
out On the other hand thev will repay
beautifully all effort expended in protect
ing them and favoring their increase. The
farmer should never allow more to be
shot for game than the surplus stock,
being sure to leave plenty Of birds for the
next years nesting. The live birds on
the farm are worth much more than the
dead birds on the table, however well
they may be cooked.
The bobwhte or quail is naturally
trustful and where undisturbed becomes
remarkably tame He will rear his Young
and spend his DAYS close to human dwell
ings. adding cheer by his merry whistle.
More important than this, however, from
the money standpoint, the bobwhite IS a
strong allv OF the farmer IN the hight
against Weeds.-Dr. w. D. Bell.
