:: 1888 PRACTICAL PHEASANT REARING
by R. J. Lloyd-Price - 198 pages. Includes a section on
grouse driving. To game preservers and masters generally I
would
say, Go occasionally yourself and see, throughout
the breeding season, that the hints comprised in the
following pages are being carried out with accuracy
by your servants ; more especially do I urge you in
the course of each rearing season to quit your
downies twice or thrice very early, after the young
birds are hatched and placed in their coops in the
fields, and see for yourselves that they are turned
out on fine days at 5 A.M. or thereabouts an over
sleepy or idle keeper being frequently the cause of
incalculable mischief at this epoch.
And to the keepers I would add, follow the
instructions you will find in this little book, and you
succeed.

THEM
