QUAIL IN CAPTIVITY.
YOUNG BIRDS HATCHED AND RAISED
IN PHILADELPHIA.
On Man Hu Evidently DitroTarad
Mtithod of rllut Infant Quail So aa
to Bring Them to Maturity How II
Manage HU rood I a Herrrt.
It is a fact well known to imtur;tlisis
that animals are much easier to Unm
than birds. That is to Buy. liiHUiiiialia
are more tit to undergo the condition of
captivity than the winded and feathered
tribes. Tlie n-Hiilt h that the habits of
many of the most common and interest
ing birds are practically unknown.. The
reason is that tlie bird rwiuirtw more
freedom and air tliau four footed crea
ture.
Among the birds which are rarely seen
in captivity, although tlie sixties is ex
treimtly common, is the quail, the notm
lar American Hob White. Although
frequent attempts have been made to
raine them as other poultry, they have
generally been uiiHiicceWul. Claim: pre-
hervers have kept quail under the most
favorable conditions, and have induced
the wary birds to lay egs hii1 to hatch
their yotmjj, but they can do no more.
When once hatched, the chicks die. The
conclusion, therefore, has beou reached
that the feeding of quail is not properly
understood.
These factsbeinggenerally recognized,
it may m a matter of surprise to many
to learn that a Pliiladeljiliiun has for the
past three years been successful in hatch
ing out and raising quail. Mobt men
have their hobbies, and the rearing of
quail is Mr. Harry Rudolph's pet amuse
ment. It i.-t such an original hobby that
jt may well be asked how ho acquired
micli au idea. Mr, Rudolph is n thor
ough sportsman, and, to quote his own
words, "wc l rather gun than eat."
Quail and pheasant shooting is his do
light, nml he confesses that he always
had a fancy for the game little Bob
White. About threo years ago he was
Ifiveu a brace of live quail while gun
ning at Newkirk station, in New Jersey.
These were the nucleus of his present
stock. He brought them to his home,
and fitted up a cage for them in his little
back lot.
HOW 118 PTAtlTKD.
x He gradually acquired a few other
birds, which paired oil and commenced
to lay and hatch eggs during the sum
mer. The small ones were successfully
hatched out, but died very shortly after.
Mr. Rudolph determined to discover the
cause of their early demise, and, know
ing it mnst be lack of proper food, de
termined to watch the habits of the old
r birds and experiment upon them with
varieties of grain and insect food.
In spite of the amusement of his
friends, who considered his attempt im
possible, Mr. Rudolph set to work in
earnest to raise quail, and, after numer
ous failures, was able, in his second year,
to successfully hatch and raise a brood
of quail. He had hit upon the right
method of feeding them, and the young
birds were as strong and healthy as if born
under natural conditions. Since then
he reckons that C5 per cent, of hiB young
birds have been successfully brought to
maturity. As statistics show that hard
ly 50 per ceut. of wild game birds attain
their f nil size, owing to the number of
their nntural foes, such as hawks and
vermin, this is an extremely good rec
ord. In a small yard, scarcely twenty feet
square, Mr. Rudolph keeps his pets.
Tlie inclosure is shut in on three sides
by a wooden fence, and on the fourth by
the rear wall of the house. Around the
Imrders are beds of geranium and small
nhrnbs. In the center is a patch of
jtraiw, with a tall plant in the middle.
On one side of the lot are the cages, in
which three brace are paired off in sep
arate coops.
HAIM.NO QUAIL.
In the fourth cage is a lonely and dis
consolate hen, while running loce about
the yard are two cocks and a hen with
three chicks. The latter are a remark
able brood. They were hutched, with
live others, on the 8th of July, which is
nearly one mont h ahead of the breeding
season. The defuuet one weie killed by
the inclement weather or some other
cause common to infant quail, but the
survivors remain perfectly healthy.
When the next brood is born, the
chicks loose in the yard, together with
the parent birds, will be shut up to make
room for the newcomers. Owing to the
extreme pugnacity of the cocks it is im
possible to let more thau one pair loose
at a time, or the lives of the birds would
Im endaugered. The pairing off of two
cocks with one hen, although rare, is oc
casionally found. The two male birds
who champion the little mother hen live
in peace and harmony, and both work
together at making the nests and take
their turn in sitting on the eggs.
The principal food which Mr. Rudolph
jrives to his pets is grain; grasshoppers
also form part of their dietary. But the
secret by which lie manages to raise the
young Mr. Rudolph refuses to reveal.
He says that it is something natural to
the birds in wild life, but beyond that
lie will not commit himself. The quail
are very fund of heinpsced, but they get
no fat on it that its value as wholesome
food is very small. It would soon kill
them off. It is useful, however, in feed
ing hens which have been Ritting in or
der to bring them back to their proper
condition. Philadelphia Ledger.
