Many quail have also been brought into tlie State by private indi- viduals. The same thing has been done for many yeais, and I feel perfectly safe in saying that were it not for this im)M)r(ation of quail, there would not be one single Â«-ovey in this State to-day. The killing of these birds lor the maiket has to a very great extent been stopped. So, like- wise, have been closed the avenues through which live birds can be se- cured from the outside. A lew years ago, quail, for i&gt;ropagating pur- poses, could be sceured without limit from almost every state of the South and West. To-day \ can count the States upon the fingers of one hand, from which these birds can be secured for any pui-pose, the supply being limited from these states, and the price thne and c^n five times what it was live years ago. .Many of the Slates that only a few years ago were exporting quail, in apparently unlimited num- l&gt;ers, are to-day trying I heir best to secure a few thousand, or evcm hundreds, alive for jiropagating purjK)ses. it is repoited that more than 400,(MM) quail were shipped from Alabama alone during the year 1905. Some :U),00() of this number were shipped alive for restock- ing purposes. The balance being dead were invoit (Â»d to cold storage houses in the Korth. In 11J0(&gt; the Legislature of Alabama forbade the shipment of quail, either living or dead, out of her boundarii^s. Thus another state closed its door against us in tliis resiÂ»ect. &gt;\'e arÂ«' forced, therefore, into the position where we must i)rotect an&lt;l save our own birds if we hope to have any in years to come. Aside from statutory enactment, every citizen and lover of the quail has his work to do. I, therefore, beg each individual, I beg the fai'mers. who derive more benefit fn.m the life-work of all kinds of birds than any other class, I beg the sjiortsman, with his limited benefits of a day afield, every boy and girl, who take pleasure in our birds, every professed Christian of this State to -not pass by upon the other side." The winter, figuratively speaking, in its most terrM)le form is indeed at hand for our birds. Don't let them die. 1 assure you in protecting them, you are preserving your bist friends, and benefiting yourselves. You may have a few quail in your neighborhood at this time, 1 beg of you, to be warned in time, care for these few birds before it is too late. It is hard enough for them to battle with vermin in the shape of crows, hawks, foxes, cats, weasels, etc., during that time of the year when their food-supply is abundant, and they have the protection afforded by trees and bushes in full leaf, of weeds and grasses, all of which protection is denied them in the winter To-'day almost every stej) they take in quest of necessary food, is watched by some keen-eyed enemy. You remember how some hawk or house cat or other predatory creature destroyed one, by one, the entire covey of ^J i m t3 (t â â *â¢ ~ â " ^ =rpr B &lt; c ;=- IT â rs ' - "^ ~ -â¢ ft I^p "zL 09 i-( ,-^ r* O â ; Â«&lt; s â.r c*.-"^ ^ Â»;. 2 2. ft ft rj.
