In a previous issue, wo called atten tion incidentally to our game laws In connection with Col. Woodward's effort to stock his county with tho Phoasant. Tho quail, our socallod partridgo, is native here and notwi< standing bad treatment and dostri o practices manages to survive It tho greatest luxury our farmers onio>-?it is one at thoir doors, if they take stops to pro teot tho birds. Besides nil 6mall birds to dostroy insects are of great concorn to farmers and tho?o who grow treos. The game cannot bo preserved, nor tho small birds, oxcopt by onforcing the laws. This will not bo done by indiv iduals. What Is ovory body's business Is nobody's business. We suggest therefore that tho gunners and sports men with tho farmers form clubs In every neighborhood In the connty tor the purpose of enforcing the game laws of tho State. It will help tho sportsmen because game will soon be plentiful. Tho landowner will readily entor Into the arrangemont and will be glad to have his friends pursue the f;amo on his grounds?but he would iko to havo tho selection of his frionds.
