FEATHERED GAME 
rarly all in fur and feathers, the Arctic fox 
id snowy owl, though the Indian takes a gen- 
ous share, generally during the fall migra- 
ms, when, as they are easily trapped, the 
‘armigan becomes an important item in his 
et. Since they dwell in a country full of 
rger game and because of their distance from 
ortsmen of shot-gun propensities, they are 
it much hunted, but those sportsmen who 
ve made shooting trips to Newfoundland 
ive enjoyed rare sport with them and are en- 
usiastic in their praise. They claim that the 
‘armigan is equal to any of the grouse family 
game qualities and speak highly of its habits 
fore the dog. Its flesh, also, ranks well, that 
the young bird being especially delicate. 
When they rise from the ground their wings 
not make such a clatter as do those of the 
ffed grouse when he starts,—probably be- 
use of the soft and fluffy quality of the feath- 
3,—but their flight is easy, strong and well 
stained. 
Their plumage during the breeding season 
d summer months is a mixture of white and 
ddish brown, finely barred with black. No
