We have good bird shooting here in sea- 

 son and cotton tails were more plentiful 

 last winter than ever. Though the winter 

 was severe, farmers tell me that they still 

 see a great number of grouse and quails. 

 I think the deep snow and continued cold 

 has rather favored the birds, as it put a 

 stop to rabbit hunting by boys and pork- 

 ers who kill birds whenever the chance 

 offers. Chas. Swailes, Kingston, Mich. 



"Sometimes," said Uncle Eben, "a man 

 gives hisse'f credit foh bein' resigned to 

 fate when he has simply settled down to 

 bein' good an' lazy." — Washington Star.

Game is scarce here. Quails are about 

 gone, owing to the wet spring and severe 

 winter. Ducks have commenced to come, 

 and though the season is not yet open they 

 are being shot by a few pot hunters. We 

 have fox and red squirrels in our woods 

 but they are shy. We have one animal 

 that is always plentiful and that is the 

 woodchuck. Any one who wants sport 

 shooting with a small caliber rifle should 

 come here and shoot chucks.
