PARTRIDGES WELL. > Hatched and Mothered by Bantam Hen in York. York, July 22.?Ten of the eleven partridges hatched by a bantam hen > belonging to Dr. M. W. White, we'll known dentist of York, some six weeks ago, still live and are growing fast. The baby partridges follow their foster mother around the White t premises just like little chicks would do and so far they give no indication of going to the wilds. Since the hatching of the partridges was announced Dr. White has been the recipient of letters from peo'ple all over South Carolina, wh6 were eager to buy a pair of the young partridges or else the whole lot. However, he has declined to sell them. His idea is to raise them to maturity in his own back yard if they are willing to remain; or if their wild instinct predominates and they are inclined to take to the wilds he is willing. Their principal diet so far has been grasshoppers and Dr. White has been hard " put to catch enough grasshoppers to satisfy their appe tites. However, they are now large enough to help find their own food. There *ere eleven eggs in the partridge :.es. that Dr. WThite found on his farm near Vioy*q ond m-M. ?V> rf.mfU'S'l fn hlS iivt U1IU t?
