Pheasaat Nibbles Crops. One of the reasons for the unusual demand for the Hungarians Is that many of the farmers and hunters con tend that the Chinese pheasant is det rimental to both sport and the crops. Farmers say that the present China bird destroys much grain and that a flock of them will swoop down and lit erally clean a field of all the crop. Mr. Flnley has shown that the bird Is carnivorous and that It prefers In- I street. sects and berries to grain. . Hunters say the pheasant la crowding out the native game girds. This also Is not a fact, according to Warden Fin ley. In several Instances eggs of pheas ants have been found In the nests of grouse. The pheasants do not molest the grouse, however, and the latter hatched and raised the pheasants like Its own. Bohemia Pheaiaat Caralvoron. The Bohemian pheasant, which Mr. Flnley is now about to have Introduced, is a little larger than the China pheas ant and is purely carnivorous. It will be an extremely good field bird and will be liberated In Eastern Oregon. Like the pheasant. It makes an ex eellent bird to herd on preserves. It becomes tame and, like the Chinese spe cies, will live in the center of a city. Mr. Muller for years was superintend ent of the state poultry farm at the Asylum at Salem.
