PARTRIDGE SHOOTING BEGINS TO-DAY.


A nickname is usually a sign of popular­ ■>¥ I


ity. It is 50 with the partridge, for the “ little brown bird” -s beloved throughout


Great Britsun. The commonest of our game birds, re­


quiring nmther the peculiar surroundmgs ■ecessary to tlie grouse, nor the laHsh care bestowed upon the pheasant, he is fouiid practically wherever the land is farmed, and often, too, on wild tracts of dwvn and moor, so long as they are not too far re- moTcd from cultivation.


, The partridge is, therefore, the people s ^ !


bird—an expression whiclt, though it does ^ not mercifully imply a common right to destroy him. does suggest that he is mote within reach of the average man than the pheasant, grouse, black game, or wo^cock. But let not the reader gather the impres­ sion that the partridge does not require


strict preservation. Although in a good year a farm oi a


couple of hundred acres may give a day a bag of ten, fifteen, cr even twenty brace, the huge totals of hundred brace m a smgle day’s shooting, and even more, are never obtained except on large estates of ^cut- iarly favourable land, which are nursed and tended with greater care than is bestowed upon the inhabitants of the covert. It is towards the end of May that the


partridges’ nests are filled with their com­ plement of from twelve to twenty eggs, ana the tliird week in June sees the hatchmg of


the majority. Should the weather be fine and dry a , i:


good season may be anticipated; but come then heavy thunderstorms or cold and damp weather the delicate youngsters are drown­ ed w' ole-sale or perish of disease brought on by the inclemency of the weather. In' some unfavourable seasons the part­ ridges have been almost wiped out through


these causes. Even a continuous spell of hot weather


is not entlrelv desirable unless there is an occasional shower, not too heavy or pro­ longed, to draw forth from the ground t..e supply of food upon which partndgw largely depend for their subsistence.


It


will be seen that both partridges and {armers alike require more of an English summer than our country is usually able to


produce. It is not, however, only the weather that ,' ..


the covey has to contend with; while thev an? still within the eggs, ixiachers of the two-legged and four-legged variety hunt them out and sell or devour them according to the number of legs they possess.


Partridges are more subject to the de­


predations of poachers than are grouse, becau.se they live and breed in fairly close proidmitv to the towns and villages.


If gamekeepers would exercise more care


as.to the origin of the eggs they buy, there would be less egg-poaching.


!ii i The sitting bird is not only in danger of rit


fox and rat, stoat and hedgehog, but has also to fear the deadly mowing machine and the loss of all her hopes. Altogether it is not a little wonderful


that the first of September still continues to bring along its crop of birds to be walk­ ed off the stubbles into roots or clover by the allied line of guns and bearers, or later on in the month to be swept off the fields over the six-foot hedge, behind wh'ich the sportsmen are waiting with guns and load­


ers. Walked np or driven, the partridge is .1


grand little bird, .and long may he grace the rural districts of Great Britain and bring pleasure to the ever-growing number


of gunners. (Alan R. Haig-Brown in “The Modern Man.”)


WHALLEY WOMEN UN ION ISTS.


GARDEN TARTY AT MORETON HALL.


At the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. H. W.


Worsley-Taylor, the WhaUey members' of the Clitheroe Division Women’ s Unionist Association held a garden party at Moreton HaU, on Saturday afternoon. The attend­ ance numbered about 100 and, although the weather was threatening rain kept oft


until tea had been disposed of. , Mr. and Mrs. Worsley-Taylor welcomed


the guests, their effots being ably seconded by Captain and Miss U. Worsley-laylor,


the latter being treasurer of the branch. There were also present, 'Mrs. R. C. Assheton, President of the Association; Mrs. R. J. Aspinall, Mrs. J. R. 'fhompson President of the Whalley branch; and Miss Brewer, secretary. A short meeting was held, presided over


by Miss Worsley-Taylor. Jvirs. Colin Campbell, of Southport, de­


livered an address. She said meet'mgs of that kind had an enormous .influence and, even if they did not possess a vote, they could influence somebody else who had, for, after all, women had a good deal of influence. She would like to po’mt out, however, that those meetings had an educ­ ational, as well as a social side, ^ as they gave them an opportunity of learning facts about questions of tlie day. It was per- fectlv astonishing how ignorant women were on a'll kinds of subjects. Before people began talking about Tariff Reform and that food would cost them more, how many of them had the slightest idea that, under a Free Trade Government, they had been paying taxes on their food for many years. They had not realised that they had been paring taxes on sugar, coffee, tea, currants and many other articles. She had no idea that such was the case and she had been a housekeeper for a quarter of a century. ■Another subject upon which they were ignorant was the disestablishment and dis- endowment of the church. She found that a great manv people, and even members oi the Church'of England, thought that the Government paid the stipends of the clergy.


’Phey imagined that when the


Government appointed a Bishop, they paid his stipend, and, therefore, the opinion was that there was nothing wrong in the Government taking away what it h.ad already given.


’Phey did not realise that the


revenue of the Church of England was de­ rived from the offerings of her members and the bequests of her faithful^ and pious members. The Government did not pay anything towards the church and, therefore, all religious bodie.s were on an equality in that respect.


It was, therefore, well to


remember what their principles were, and wh.at they meant when they said they were Unionists. They must remember that the British Empire was no cheap thing, and it wa.s no little thing they upheld when' they said they upheld the Union and the. Em­ pire. She would like to point out how many things threatened the Emjrire. It seemed sad that* when the Empire had just been consolidated, there should be signs of dis­ ruption in Ireland. The Labour party had also entered upon a policy of destruction, and they could see on all sides, results of their efforts. It was iheir duty, as members of the Unionist party, to oppose such a


policy. (.Applause). Mrs. Aspinall proposed a vote of thanks


to Mrs. Campbell. Seconding, Mrs. Assheton s.ald it gave

her great pleasure lo have an opportunity of meeting members of the Whtilley br.anch. When that branch was formed, a few months ago, it headed the list with the largest number of members enrolled at the first meeting. Th.at encouraged them ven- much, and .she hoped they would keep their place at the head of the list proportionate of course, to the population. She_ trusted that thev would become most enthusiastic 'n the work .and attend the meetings which had been arranged and would be arranged in the future, in order that they would be able to keep up to date in current politics and have a better understanding of some f the problems they -would have to face. Tiie> were arranging for a series of meet­ ings during the autumn to be addressed by an Irish lady on Home Rule. That was j question which was little understood by a large number of people. Mr. Worsley-Taylor supported the mo­


tion, which was carried enthusiastically. Mrs. Assheton proposed a vote of thanks


to Mr. and Mrs. Worsiey-Taylor for their kindness in allowing them the use of their beautiful grounds for that function. ^Mrs. Aspin.-ill seconded the proposition


which was adopted. Te.a was afterwards sensed in front of the


House, and, at the mritation of Mr. Wors­ ley-Taylor, the gue,sts subsequently inspect­ ed the gardens and greenhouses.


MART IN TOP. ANNIVERSARY.—The chapel anniver-

Gough, E.A., of Barrowford, was the special preacher, and at the after noon and evening services, the choir trom Mr. Gough’s church at Larrowford render­ ed help by singing special music. The weather was somewhat showery, but never­ theless, good congregations assembled. In- the morning, Mr. Gough conducted the usual youn^ people’s service. At the after­ noon gathering the ' oir sang “Come unto me” (Moody,) and “Eternal light'’ (Nichol) In the evening, Nichol’s rendering of “ Eternal light” was repea-' -' le other sel­ ection being “To Thee our God we cry-,” (Matmder).

AIANI'KING LAND. The essential elements from a inanurial point


of view arc uitioyen, phosphoric aeiii. and potash—jtliat is to say. these arc the only (^ementsof plant fo<Kl with wliich Hu* iarmer has ueuaJly to wneoru himself. Tliis i.s <lm* to the fact that crops remove much more <»f thcee ©Uiiionts than of the other one-, fuch as iron., sulphur, etc., whiih are practically ahvays prwonl in sufliciem quantity to satisfy the Tequii'Cinents of plants. Ajiart from actua enriching land, .‘iome mainii c< liave a very impor­ tant action in altering the ph\>lcal comlition of ©oils. For instance, farmyard manure not only augments fertility by .supplying nd<litional plnut food, but also temU to make clayey laud- open ami porous, and t<* coinjiact .-aiuly ami light foils, thus.making them luoreimoisture-i'ctain- ing. It flipuUl therefore be Ijorno in mind tliat the application of farmyai’il and siniilav manures acts in the,,tiame way as that of .chomicnl, fer­ tilizer.- as'i’o'gar<lf the provision of jilant ioodn, hut that it also has a secoiulary action not shared by artificial manures, and that this secomlary action if oltentrmef practically ati important to the wclfareof cr<ips a*^ in the <lirect supplying of jilant food. Indeed, larmyaid manure, m’nst be comsiilered tlie best m»*ans of improving nil kimls of .‘^oils, so (lia.‘ artifiiial fertilizers, which are often imlispensahlo to augment the action of farmyard dung, must not ue lUgMlUGU U t)UUtM
