The chicks flattened out on the leaves and could be closely examined they were the size of two days’ old ruffed grouse, had dark bills, and though in the down, showed more markings than our chicken pats. “The mother has broken her leg and wing,” exclaimed the boys, who did not re- member that feigning lameness to draw enemies from egss or young is a ruse common to many orders of birds. Either the Perrins did not see all of the chicks, or the cooper’s hawks that nested nearby had caught the bulk ot the young covey. This partridge will lay from twelve to eighteen eggs, and sometimes two hens will double up like bobwhites and lay over thirty eggs. No mest is ever made—a few straws and a bit of dried grass scratch- ed carelessly together. The eggs are a pale greenish brown color, and incuba- tion lasts twenty-one days. It seems clear that this second record of brown partridge breeding in Woodstock can not be traced to the birds we freed this season, but must be credited to a pair from the covey raised on the Tom Hedge farm last vear. Even allowing ten days for mating, twenty days for oviposition, and twenyty days for hatching, would not be time enough for our wild acclimating Jot. At any- rate, the Hungarian breeds a month earlier than bobwhite—the Virginia partridge—its enarest relative on. the Atlantic coast. The bunch of quail that wintered with us, now reduced te nine birds, was seen on the Perrin place near a large pecan tree, the only tree of this species I know of in Wind- ham county, though I have seen sev- eral in Providence.

Though there is a clock in every room at the cottage, there is no electric town regulator to keep them straight: the kitchen calen- | dar clock is three weeks behindhand, and the cuckoo and quail in the fancy Swiss device do mot favor us with a croak or whistle. But who would ask for a better timekeeper than the whip- poorwill, who, timed by a correct watch, has begun calling near our flag- staff for six nights in succession at| exactly twenty minutes to eight. No, children, quail have never been trapped at the Quail Trap, and every fizire four and snacing davice set in our woods or covers has been kicked up inside of 24 hours. It is seven vears since a shotgun has cracked in the fields or meadows here, and the trio of quail then shot are mountad in the gining room as examples of a | ce of large homa bobwhites replaced b smnaller introduced birds from the uth. : Such frequent reference to the bun- galow and its equipment may be par- doned when its isolation and environ- ment are considered; and it should be rememberad that many of the writer's happiest days were passed near the old Quafl Trap meeting house on the Vol- untown road, where ELobwhite was known to nest under the very drop- pings of the sanctuary. In the patch of tall standing timber in the hollow just back of the church was located my first great horned owl's nest, sev- eral sets of redtail were taken from ihis strip of forast and, by driving a gray squirrel intc a hole in a large chestnut, a bee-trze was found and I| helped secure much store of comb and honey. In sight of this sacred shack, guided by the prince of old tima fisi ermen. on a_never-to-be-forgotten Fast day, I caught 44 pounds of trout, and thrée daye after, with the same part- ner, took from the same decp stream 42 pounds. The depleted Misery brook. the Robbins brook with barren waters and Kinney brook, long famous for its two-pounders, still flow to & union, but the placid Pachaug, where thes record strings were taken, is only a memory. But the great pond nox formed by these streams was in its earlier years an Eden for a bird lover. In holes in the dead stubs sticking out of the water 50 pairs of tres swallows bred, and many purple grackles plas- tered their nesis in the larger crevices of the stubs. I saw wood duck fiy from old flickers’ holes in the tallest d2ad trees, and an osprey’s nest near the middie of the lake was used by | pout and bass fishermen to get their lucky ranges by. -Before the pond was flowed I fished from Glasgo's dam to Poplar bridge with poor luck. though my partner had a full creel. From Holm:s' hole below the bridge I took a pound =nd a quarter trout, when e trudged back to a bend in the brush oppesite the Quail Trap, where my partner finally landed a two-pound beauty he lost going down. ¥From the same hole T had a tremendous bitz which broke two joints of an old ham- boo pole. and I was sure I was going to beat the first big trout, when T ig- nominiously dragged out by the line, the woods, with its silvery bark, its slender stem, its long, siim branches and its light green and lacy foliage in | May. This tree borders God's green land always, for it is the only tree to be found in Greenland, is at home in Lapland and in the north of Russia and Sweden near the fringe of eternal snow. It is a favorite tree with the artist; and the poets have not over- looked its graceful beauty,—one of whom wrote: “But at the gates of Paradise, that birch grew fair enough.” Its bark was used in_the long ago to make canoes of, and shingles and hats, twisted inte rcpes; and in this last shape was used as a torch. It is now the preferred wood for making spools.
