Herbert X Job, the state ornitho-
logist. says: "In view of the great
pubic interest in saving and increas-
inr the birds, particularly those
,pscies used Tor food, the state 0rni-
biologist of Connecticut. under the
storrs Agricultural Experiment Sta
tim has devoted much of his time for
the past two years to researches, ex-
periments and observations in the pro
pagation and increase of the gallinace.
ous game-birds and the wildfowl. The
result rs a large fund of important in
formation. with the assurance that the
popagation of game-birds will soon
be generally carried on successfully.
for commercial and other purposes.
The key TO the new method is that
il has been ascertained by experiment
that most and probably all, kinds or
type OF gallinaceous game birds car
be raised with hens as foster-mothers,
and will follow and remain with them
unrestrained in the open, without be
Ing shut in. We have tried this out
successfully ON a small scale. and
seen or known it being done by 9th
es, with quail partridge or rsffed
grouse, native Oregon pheasants, sew
eral western quails, Hungarian par
fridge, wild turkey, and other species.
The mysterious game-bird, one OF
which carried off our young quail at
the experiment station a year ago
when they were nearly fultgrown, are
moi, generally, imported contagious,
but troubles, mostly OF the digestive
tract which arise, particularly with
young birds, under wrong conditions
of restraint, overerowding and fouling
Of the ground. The whole thing re
duces itself down to the details of 4
simple system of technique which is
perfectly practicable. Heretofore it
mas been considered necessary to
keep the young birds shut up in order
to be able to hold them. SOW that
experience shows that they can be
controlled and captured under a sys
TEN of free range, the whole matter is
vastly simpliied, and the problem
seems in good way for full practical
solution. Some persons, who seem 10
possess a certain tact" in handling
birds, are able TO raise game-kirds, in
ending quail, IN considerable num-
begsy and have recently done so. Ger
tain details, of course, await further
Investigation. Yet, pending the out
come of our archaeological and other
scientific researches, We are learning
how to avoid starting these diseases.
