THE GUN AT HOME AND ABROAD 
loads of quartz grit should be deposited directly the snow is thick on 
the ground. In addition to the above, the growth of all ground berries 
such as blaeberries and cranberries should be encouraged, as these afford 
a healthy change of diet, and form a reserve for hard weather. Should 
the moor be heavily stocked with sheep it would be wise to wire in cer- 
tain stretches of moor where such berries exist, in order to let the plants 
get a proper hold and increase, and at the same time the young heather 
would get a better chance, for sheep are very fond of both.
