missioner Tolerton. Persons making
these inquiries want TO know If the
birds passed through the winter safely
and if they give evidence of being

properly protected.
Tolerton admits that he cannot sat.
isfactorily answer these questions.

SAINTS would show a disposition to be-

About 5000 pheasants were distri-
buted through 100 counties early last
fall. Seemingly the Missouri climate
agrees with the birds, but many of
them showed a disposition to keep
near barnyards during the winter, and
in some instances they mingled freely
with chickens.
This spring, however, the female
birds sought the woods and fields,
but for some reason the male birds
seem disposed to stay about the barn
