Where game is not very plentiful, I should advise the sportsman to oommence by beating the skias of the cover, by which means the birds that have been feeding in the adjoining fields will be hit off. He ought then by degrees to penehte deeper into it. After traversing the wood with beatere and dogs, it is advisable to make a circuit round the extremitiea of it, 80 as to get at those birds which may have run or esoaped from the interior. A gun or two inaide and the rest outside will he the beat distribution ; but especial care must be taken to know the where and whereabouts of your wm- @m, or you may probably ' bag' your friend inetead of your game. Many a gunner haa received a dozen pellets in his hat from some young gentlemen who make a point of fìring at everything that gete UP.
