OUR NEW SONG BIRD. 



The above picture, the delight of confirmed mischief-makers, was printed at a 

 time when one State after another was prohibiting quail shooting. The nonsense 

 stopped quickly after the appearance, of the picture and for several years there was 

 no legislation intended to put bobwhite on the song bird list. Those opposed to 

 field sports seem to think it smart to get quail shooting prohibited for a term of 

 years and later to have the term extended from time to time. Why not make a 

 song-bird out of the ruffed grouse ?.. He_certainly 4_s_a_drunimer-._and- sorne.think 

 the drumming is vocal. . - - - ^
