Deer, or Sheep?
Is tho deer-forest doomed? During
tho past four or fivo years, says a cor
respondent, tho Scottish landowner,
whose main soiree of incomo has been
rents from his sportlngs, has been very
hard hit, and apparently the get-rlch-quick
man of tho war Is not showing
any desire to take costly shootings In
the North. Not long ngo Lord Lovnt
decided to convert his deer-forest of
Braulen, In Inverness-shlre, nn area of
50,000 acres, Into sheep and cattle pas
turage, and now a large part of Mar
Forest, tho princess royal's big Deer
side domain of over 100,000 acres, Is
being let for sheep grnzlng. Deer are
wasteful feeders, and spoil a great deal
more grass than they eat. On the area
necessary for ono deer, a dozen sheep
or three cattle could live.
