F. T. PARTRIDGE— REARING AND SHOOTING—Partridges found in this countryare of two kinds, the common Grey Partridge(Perdrix cinerea) and the French, or RedLegged variety {Caccabis nifa). Partridgesfollow the plough, and although found inconsiderable numbers in grass countries, yetarable land is necessary to support a large preservers maintain that partridges andpheasants require the same insect food, and. P.\jKiNG Time. that a large head of pheasants cannot he main-tained without a corresponding diminution inpartridges. Partridges are seldom confined inaviaries for the purpose of producing eggs,though a considerable number are annuallyreared under foster mothers. Wild birds pairfrom the middle of January to the third weekin February according to the locality and theseason, and begin laying towards the end ofApril Eggs from nests that are cut out by the mowing machine,as well as thosethat are laid onthe boundaries, orin j)ublic situa-tions, should becollected andhatched under fos-ter mothers. 7 here are two modesof increasing the stockof partridges on amanor — one by theexchange or purchaseof eggs, and the otherby turning down Hun-garian birds. Exactlyas in the case of pheas-ant rearing, the prac-tice of buying eggsindiscriminately isopen to grave objec-tions, and the remarkapplies with doubleforce to the case ofp a r t r i d g e s than buy egg
