with the present revivifying -
vivifying symptoms

V'V * BO the approach of

filled the sportsmen's
hearts with most delightful anticipation ! .
There la no Ingredient In the category of
nccesMtlca EO essential to good , vim fowl

streams and shallow lakp , drled-up marshes
nnd arid sloughs , you can alwayn count on
ix scarcity of birds , for It matters little how
abundant ths previous fall's crop of feed
was , the palmiped beauties find It ex
ceedingly difficult to obtain the sustenance
they demand , and they will not tarry , but
meraly overlook the region and then wing
their way on to a country where HID condi
tions arc more to their liking ,
However , local shooters need apprehend
no deprivation of their favorite sport
through such causes this spring , for all
through last summer the rainfall was far
In exceta of the normal , and this winter
coverlet nfter co\erlet of fiocculent crystals
has been spread over the earth , on the plains
and In the mountains , and when the ooft
breath of the southern winds begin to work
upon the Icy-fettered cjrth a freshet will follow -
low that will ttart the rivers and streams
gushing -with rapturous uproar on toward
the gulf , fill the laKcs to the brim and In
undate marsh and lowland everywhere.
This means spurt the kings might envy

and their cackling congeners of the virgin
plumage. What kindles so quick a flre In
the iportsman's ibcsorn as the scenes ho
enjojs while crouched In his reedy hide
on the shore of his favnrlte marsh his first
morning out In the apilng ? As I'hoc-bus In

gateway of glided masses of fleecy cloud ,
along the distant sky , yoy dlscry a long line

those greening stalks 4'ojtig ' the shore. Per

'
piece his long nedk doubles up and d'own
he comes , overhand qver , until hla ashen
form strikes the Icy water -with m resounding
smaclc. *
And what a thrilling transformation BCCIIB
ensues.
In an Instant the air Is throbbing with the
sound of myriads of wings , as from out the
yellow and bedraggled rice fields , beyond and
behind you , with discordant quacks of aftrlght
thousands of birds take wing. The rising
horde breaks Into countless fragments , eacn
circling toward the leaden and sullen sky ,
bewildered and alarmed , they know not which
way to go , but as a whirring bunch of red-
hrads swing within range your gun again
flashes , the. report rings out with spiteful
Intonation , a pair drop from the flock and
for the ttmo the excitement ceases , for yo-ur
second shot Is the signal for a grand aerial
scamper from the vicinity. But the lull is a
short one. the masses of birds circle off Into
the dim distance , many disappear , but num
bers still hover In sight and soon jou see
them singly and In flocks returning Vour way.
Your caller Is called Into requisition , the
birds catch the imitation and then see your
decoys and the morning's sport Is on In all
Us ecstatic fullness. With every additional
boim of light which struggles through the
misty dawn the feathery stream Increases.
Bluebllla pounce upon > ou from the bky ,
mallards circle about. In uneasy flight , the
teal whiz by like rockets and the redheads
swish In and out , and all aiound you , as If
Impervious to shot or shell. From almost
every point you see approaching or receding
birds. They skim over the cattails in
shadowy bunches , and cross and iccross eac'i '
other as If In futile search for something
they cannot find.
Of all the birds that comp up from trop
ical climes In the springtime the 'sprig
or pintail , as he Is nioro commonly called ,
Is invariably the avaunt courier. The pe
riod of his arrival depends not so much
on the weather as doe's , that of hla relatives ,
but ho gsnerally corrifs In with a storm
of rain and snow and sleet , and this spring
ho put In an appearance a week ago with
the flurry of enow wo enjoyed , when
small flocks were seen flying aimlessly up
and down the Missouri river , The ex
treme cold which Immediately fol
lowed that brief storm , Inwevcr , evidently
sent him on back couth to await
moro propitious conditions for the trip to
ward the arctic circle , When his migration
sets In In earnest they eomo In fast flocks ,
flying very high aml seemlng to settle nowhere -
where In particular forpny extended eojourn.
Later , when his cousins arrive , lie la found
much In the company of the mallard , the
wlgeon and teal , As , said before , they fly
at a gloat altitude and often In tremendous
flocks and mostly frequent the open prairies
and broad expanses of backwater which border - -
der the big rivers arra'oxtcnslvo lakes. His
plumage Is soft and leillTed | beautifully with
greenish browns , gfhyvdnd dull , yellowish
lines the cock bird/ being the perfection
of graceful symmolry"and } quiet beauty ,
They are often fount pfcntlfully along our
swiftest flowing rlvqro/jnpd wheretheao nro
heavily wooded , as i they are In Illinois ,
they gorge themselves with acorns , of wntch
they ore extremely foifd/'flnd ' for which they
will venture a lone M if " from the water
Into the forest's deepfei 'depths. They are
anything but wlso Mrflii and decoy readily
and are without a tlouUt the easiest killed
of all the wild fowl genera. In Fcbruar
and early March they are In poor form
owing to their propensity for long flight
without food or rest , and at this season o
the year are not ptrMeularly attractive-

nicely sened , Is a delicacy not to be sneeze *
nt by even the daintiest epicure.

that came fully up to the canvasbacl
stanJard. If they did not surpass It. They
nro magnificent looking birds , especially th
drakes , who will not take second place even
to the mallard In all the blazonry of hi
winter plumage. Their heads are shapely
and of a do * > p cinnamon In color , while thcl
bodies , with the exception of the wings
which are a weak lavcndar , are as whit

they are the hardest to kill of all the !
clara. Years ago these Incomparable bird

I bick ever known In the history of the state
1 On an Intensely clear , cold March day wo
I bagged between noon and n short time before
sunset 163 of these princely birds.
The reJhead looks so much like the
ctinvasback to those not familiar with their
distinctly different features that ho Is
often taken for the king. In fact. In mans
markets In the big cities redheads are readily
and frequently palmoi off on unknowing
customers for canva bacUs. While there Is
a pronounced difference In both the
phj steal and constructional organization ol
the two birds , they are matked In almost on
Identical manner , and properly placed "upon
the banquet board It would require the moat
expert gastronomic connoisseur to separate
them from the canvasback. Like their lordly
superiors , they too are strong , rapid fbers ,
but decidedly erratic , decoy In matchless
style , and when plentiful afford the most
exhilarating sport , from a blind , of nny
bird that quacks or flics. They are regular
gormanda , and , like the canvasback , have an
Insatiable capacity for wild celery , tender
twigs and grasses , aquatic bulbs and smart-
weed. In this particular latitude they are
exceedingly plentiful in the spring , but
unaccountably scaice in the fall season.
But laud the other members of the wild
fowl family as exhaustively as you may , none
of them or all ot them combined , possess
the attractive qualities of the commonest
bird In the lot , and that Is the ever-familiar
mallard. HP is to bs found throughout the
country from ocean to ocean and from the
pol ir regions to the gulf , ard furnishes tnoro
sport and glvea better satisfaction to those
who kill and those who cat him than any
high-class icprcsentatlve on our long list ol
game birds. With the first warm raya of th !

flight as either the canvHsback or redhead ,
but plenty opeedy enough to tax the skill
of the most expert handler of the Tiammei-

down and can carry away as big a load of
shot as a gccseor a crane , nnd even when
mortally woundeJ , so unconquerable are they
they will place miles between your blind am !
the spot whsre the weary wing relaxes
and the giand bird descends to caith to
ga > 3p out his-precious life. They aio a great
bjni to stalk in the jagged rice fields and
smartwtcd beds , where the watcis are Just
deep enough for them to reach the sedgy
bottoms with their greenish yellow bills as
they tip upon end In their quest of the good
things that lie below. In this manner you
may get quite close upon them and have
easy shooting , as so Intent are they kipon
their love-making and feeding that often
they refuse to "Jump" from their reedy
fcconco until you are within , n few yards
of thorn. On the open water they arc ex
tremely coy and alert , and yet line splen
didly to a largo stool of decoys anchored
properly In front of a good , natural blind.
The slightest artificial tampering \ gen
erally sufficient to warn Anas Boscbns of the
danger lurking there , and It Is the nemo
of exasperation to sco them give you the
go-by whllo In every direction the nlr
seems swarming with them. They Invaria
bly piefer shallow waters , where they can
both swim and wade and waddle about In
scarqh of food In precisely the same manner
as do our tame b'rnvard ducks. Still the }
can dlvo well , and In fact almost as dexter
ously as a blue bill or canvasback when
wounded , jet they seldom look for Iced in
water of a. greater depth than a foot nnd n
half. Llko the geese , they are fond of
field feeding and In stubble and fcorn find
many a sumptuous collation on the scat
tered kernels of the farmer's harvest. The
Nebraska lakes and marshes are favorite
feeding grounds for Ihcso birds , as they
nro for other kinds , and In these spring
dajs , where the brown brows of the sand
hills nio pictured In the crystal waters , the
slanting sunlight glistens allko on the em
erald head of the mallard , the ruddy neck
of the canvasback and mottled back of the
widgeon.
Llko the mallard , the teal , both
green and blue wing , are partial
to the shallows , low , muddy , estuaries nnd
soggy woodland crypts. They whiz through
the air llko mlnlo balls , decoy but in
differently , and plump into the water with a
suddenness that often discomfits the most
experienced gunner. As a rnorceau for the
table none Is moro highly prized and where
one man would demand a canvasback or
mallard a dozen would go Into ecstacies
over a well browned teal , with a sprig of
watercress stuck In Its crop. Who can con
ceive of a fairer picture than a bunch of
teal dozing along the sunny shores of some
shallow bay , robed In their garb of gray and
beamy cinnamon , slashed with bands of
Iridescent blue and green. The forked tall

The widgeon , or bald pate , displays many
of the mallard's characteristics , only his
penchant Is for the open water and nothing
can tempt him Into the wooded districts.
They seldom travel In flocks , after their
advent Into a certain region , but sneak about
alone , or by twos and threes , and
occasionally In bunches of from six to a
dozen. They are also much addicted to the
open pralrlo llko the pintail , and next to
the mallard are the best known and most1

The championship among professional

League of American Wheelmen , which closed

f them came together , Cooper leads with

the Iwenty-nlno r cf In which ho competed
with thcso men , The situation Is further
complicated by another tie In tr-at Hald ran
placsd twenty times , having started four
tlm s more than Coopor. Cooper In the
season finished first eleven times , second
thrco times , third six limes , fourth three
times , and fifth , sixth , seventh and eighth
