A SPORTSMAN TO HIS 
SON 
{Continued from page 59) 
head but while the grain is still soft. 
Here our dealing with rice birds 
is a business rather than a sport. Sup- 
pose the wheat-growers of the North and 
West, two weeks before harvest, would 
find myriads of birds descending on their 
crops, wouldn’t they be dismayed ? That 
dismay would be the first emotion. The 
next impulse would be to shoot. And 
that is just what we rice-planters have 
to do. But we have some very effective 
ways of merely frightening them. One 
of these is simply to fire a flattened buck- 
shot over the feeding birds. The hissing 
sound is said to resemble the rush of the 
air through the wings of a marsh-harrier 
hawk, a deadly enemy of reed-birds. 
Another plan is to put little darkies up 
' on barrels or platforms set along the rice 
field banks. Here they camp for the day, 
making all sorts of infernal noises with 
whips, tin pails, and their own shrill 
penetrating voices. When driven off the 
rice, these birds feed in ragweed patches, 
in foxtail grass in the corn, in millet, and 
in coffeegrass. 
As to numbers, I cannot be definite, 
but there are now flocks so large at the 
Mainfield that, as I write this, a quarter 
of a mile away, I can distinctly hear the 
roar of their wings as their battalions 
manoeuver. I have a few negro hunters 
after them now, and we have eaten so 
many that I find myself wanting to sing 
“chink-chink.” For shooting these birds 
myself I have temporarily lost my in- 
terest, as what follows will explain. 
One day recently I saw a small bunch 
feeding in foxtail that filled a vacant 
strip between the corn and potatoes. 
When I thought I had a good many in 
line, I let drive. Immediately there was 
a, great outcry from the potato patch, 
and I judged that someone must have 
been within the pattern of my shot. 
Coming out of the corn, I found my 
victim to be old Sarah, that poor old 
creature whom we have so long sup- 
ported. One of my No. 10 shot had pen- 
etrated the upper corner of her eye, 
bringing blood but in no way impairing 
sight. I made no remarks about her 
raiding my potatoes, sent her home, and 
promised her medicine. A short time 
later, your mother meanwhile having 
loaded me down with a multitude of 
soothers, for both external and internal 
application, I found the old woman in 
her cabin, and as soon as she was aware 
that I was at the door she started to 
moan pitifully. She shuffled toward me, 
with one hand over her eye and the other 
hand tightly clutching something. 
“Look here, boss,” she said reproach- 
fully, opening her gnarled old hand, 
“look here what done dropped out of 
my eye.” 
And what do you think she showed 
me? Why, man alive, it was an ounce - 
ball, a “punkin,” the kind I use on alli- 
gators and on sheep-loving dogs, and the 
kind that some fellows in Pennsylvania 
use for big bucks. The old crone had 
probably had it put away somewhere in 
the cabin, and thought this the psycho-
