WILD-BRED AND HAND-REARED 201 



If you and your keepers abide by these general 

 rules, supplemented by the most practical of the 

 details to be found in the best books,' to all 

 of which your keepers should have free and con- 

 stant access, you will be able without difficulty, and 

 at a proper and reasonable cost, to produce the 

 number of hand-reared birds which the size and 

 character of your coverts, and the nature of the soil 

 prevailing on your estate, entitle you to expect. 



' Books which should form the 'gun-room or keeper's 



Ubrary,' and which you should provide for their constant use 



and reference, might include :
