from predatory animals. They will be supplied with grain during the coming 



winter. They from one island to the other and may later spread out to the 



main land around Rollins Bay. They seem to be very hardy and are now in full 

 plumage. 



A few pair were sent to Poison and placed in the hands of those who will 

 endeavor to raise the same and turn loose the increase next season. Six of these 

 birds were placed in the hands of G. H. Adams at his home on Flathead lake 

 about six miles South of Somers, where they are doing very well. 



The original stock, as well as about sixty young birds are in the care of 

 Mr. Minar, a farmer near Somers, Montana, and we expect to make some satis- 

 factory arrangement with Mr. Minar for breeding a large number of pheasants 

 the coming season. His farm seems favorably situated for this purpose and he is 

 very much interested in the propagation of these birds. 



We feel very much encouraged with the result in Flathead County, and inas- 

 much as the pheasant is a very hardy bird it ought to thrive in many parts of 

 the State, and prove a valuable game bird.
