Protect the Birds. =
Mr.. J. J. Gaulden Of Yorkville No. 3,
agrees with those who have already
spoken on the subject of the destruc-
ton of partridges. He thinks that bird
dogs, hounds and blacksnakes are all
enemies of the partridge. and he also
makes charges against the pot hunters
who insist on shooting out OF season.
One of the best remedies that can be
applied In his opinion, Is law to pro-
hibit all partridge shooting over pc
riod Of several years, and then to make
the close season shorter, and not to
open until Christmas. In the mean
time Mr.. Gaulden thinks that the far
mers can do lots Of good by looking
after the birds on their own lands.
