PETS 
Their History and Care 
By LEE S. CRANDALL

York Zoological Park. 
Illustrated, $2.00 net. 
While special attention is devoted to 
such popular pets as cats, dogs, and 
birds, almost every animal which 
may be kept for companionship or 
ornament is included, and the direc¬ 
tions for their care cover all the 
ordinary conditions which may be 
met. There are suggestions, based 
on wide experience, to guide the pur¬ 
chaser of pets. There is also a short 
discussion of theories of breeding.

THE NOBLEST OF 
GAME BIRDS

somewhat thicker. Holding this box in on 
hand with the open side uppermost, a nai 
row piece of slate held in the other han 
is drawn across the edge or top surfac 
of the thinner side of the box, the flat sui 
face of the slate to be held against the sui 
face of the wood. I have not seen thi 
form of call but have it from those wh 
know its use that “it is a sure killer.” 
I met one hunter who with a small, thi 
leaflet held across his lips was able to pre 
duce the most skillful imitation of th 
notes of a turkey I have ever heard. H 
had learned the art from his father, wh 
was perhaps the most successful deer an 
turkey hunter this part of Florida has eve 
known. His record on deer was seven cai 
casses to camp out of eight shots with a 
old muzzle-loading rifle and the body c 
the other deer was found later when th 
buzzards had sought it out. 
A NOTHER and rather favorite manne 
of hunting these birds in our sectio 
is to frequent their haunts toward 
nightfall and listen for them to fly up t 
roost in the trees. This usually occur 
soon after sunset and by a common e> 
pression, just before “first dark.” A kee 
ear on a still night can hear the wing beat 
from a quarter- to almost a half-mile, an 
if a bright moon is at hand the hunte 
may be able to get his bird at once; bi 
the usual practise after thus “roosting 
them is to mark well the locality wher 
the birds have treed and return there b< 
fore daybreak and try for a shot whil 
they are yet in the trees, or failing thereii 
to call them after they have flown dowi 
This alternative is not considered scarcel 
worth attempting as the birds, being the 
ready for feeding, are probably bunche 
and difficult to call up. 
At times we have been quite successfi 
in getting our bird by hunting up or dow 
the river; for a stretch of eight or te 
miles it does not exceed forty to fifty yard 
in width and is bordered on both shores b 
a fringe of rather dense growth of mag 
nolias, oaks, palmetto, ash, pine, etc., be 
yond which extend great reaches of ope 
piney woods, interspersed with ponds an 
higher dry, timbered “islands,” all of whic 
make for excellent feeding and cover fc 
turkeys. In the late winter when pin 
mast has been exhausted, acorns and pa 
metto berries become favorite food and ar 
sought for in the timbered regions alon 
the river, while excursions are made, afte 
the day has advanced and the. grass ha 
dried, to the open country for lingerin 
grasshoppers as a relish. 
Two of us usually take a boat and rot 
leisurely up stream while the third ma 
with the dog tries to rout the birds, keep 
ing close to the outer border of the woode 
river swamp that the dog may strike tra 
of any moving birds. By arranging t 
meet the on-shore man at various conver 
ient openings, the two parties move i 
comparative tuition; by close watching a 
the bends of fine river any birds crossin 
may be located, when the hunting is abou 
the same as ordinary woods stalking and i 
is up to the hunter to circumvent the eve 
watchful bird. Not infrequently a flushe
