 hopped slowly across the street into the 

 large yard of the adjoining property 

 where it disappeared in the grass and 

 weeds of an orchard. I have often won- 

 dered if rabbits have a habit of playing 

 possum and if there are many dogs which

Eagles. 



In a clipping sent to The Game 

 Breeder we are told that much damage 

 has been done in Ozark, Taney and 

 Honell Counties, Mo., and in Baxter 

 County, Ark., by eagles. 



Japanese Barberry. 



Editor Game Breeder : 



I know pheasants feed on Barberry, 

 that is our common Barberry. I am 

 tbinking of putting in my aviaries Thun- 

 ber's Japanese Barberry which produces 

 so much larger number of berries than 



our common variety. If you can ascer- 

 tain in any way, I wish you would ad- 

 vise me whether this berry is non-pois- 

 onous. 



Kentucky. R. A. Chiles. 



[We shall be glad to have some of our 

 readers answer the question. We are of the 

 opinion that the Japanese Barberry has been 

 introduced at some of the game clubs. —

 M. is, but I'm afeard they's some mis- 

 take about it, for judgin' from the time 

 he gets down to breakfast he behaves 

 more like a P. M. ter me.
