PHEASANTS IN COVERT AND AVIARY 



Dari-seed 



Cow's milk contains 87 per cent, of water, 5 per cent, 

 of carbo-hydrates, 3 per cent, of fat, and 3 per cent, of 

 albuminoids. 



Potatoes contain 75 per cent, of water. 



Lettuces contain 95 per cent, of water. 



Cabbages contain about 90 per cent, of water, and carrots 

 85 per cent. 



From the foregoing analysis it will be gleaned that the 

 carbo-hydrates and albuminoids, as well as the fats, are the 

 principal constituents of food. 



Concerning the feeding of Pheasants, the following 

 remarks are those of a keeper, and being of a very practical 

 character, the author has pleasure in reproducing the 

 paragraphs from the Gamekeeper.
