How to Save Quail ia Winter.

General Speaks, our efficient state game warden, is receiving hundreds of letters asking for advice as to how to save the quail from starvation In the old-fashioned winter. The quail is about the most helpless bird we have in Ohio. Although It winters In this latitude, It hasn’t the slightest idea how to take care of Itself when the deep snows come. When the ground is covered and the ready food supply is shut off, these beautiful and useful birds huddle together and wait in miserable motionless flocks for death by freezing or starvation. The only way to save them is to scatter on the snow near their haunts liberal allowances of grain or ether suitable food. A few of the bolder or tamer birds will find it and go and tell the others. It is gratifying to learn from the volume of the game warden’s mall on this subject that farmers in all parts of the state are kqenly Interested in the conservation of the quail, whose value to the farmer* as an Insect destroyer can hardly be estimated. —Columbus Jour-1 nal.
