From about the latitude of Kandiyohi County to the Red River of the north, the different species of the wild i^oose hold hitjh revel and, upon the approach of the cold weather, may be seen in count- less thousands massiny^ for the southern fli<,dit. An early morning drive along the wheat-fields which they frequent will disclose them feeding either upon stubble or breaking. They must be allowed to depart not only unmolested, but of their own accord, when an exam- ination of the feeding-ground is carefully made, and the pits may then at once be sunk. If there are two shooters, as many pits are necessary, and they are best circular in form, about thirty inches iii diameter and forty inches in depth. The earth of the exca ation may be partially utilized in constructing a slight emban' ., umd the edges of the pit. The surface of the soil about tl openings must be manipulated until it accords in appearance uj the natural surroundings. The pits ma\-be near enough to permit of a \ his- pered conversation between the occupants when the game 1, ap- • Branta hcriUcla (Linn.) on the Pacific coast is tlie variety nigrkans. .1., .i«||. H.
