GROUSE AND BLACK-GAME SHOOTING. 1 1 



where the birds come to drink and to eat small insects : 

 this may be continued all the season. We often hear 

 that these traps are set for carrion-crows. They may be, 

 but any one who understands the habits of grouse and 

 black-game, knows what birds they are most likely to 

 catch ; and if this way of destroying vermin is perse- 

 vered in by the keepers, " the laird " will soon begin to 

 shoot his grouse minus a leg.
