Excerpt from Pheasant Rearing: With an Appendix on Grouse Driving To game preservers and masters generally I would say: GO occasionally yourself and see, throughout the breeding season, that the hints comprised in the following pages are being carried out with accuracy by your servants; more especially do I urge you in the course/ of each rearing season to quit your downies twice or thrice very early, after the young birds are hatched and placed in their coops in the fields, and see for yourselves that they are turned out on fine days at 5 am. Or thereabouts - an over sleepy or idle keeper being frequently the cause of incalculable mischief at this epoch.
