Their gizzards or stomachs have been dissected and in them numerous fragments of grasshoppers found. The writer of the newspaper article referred to abobve is evidently saving the sage hens in order that he may shoot them, since he says that they are detrimental, but should only be killed by true sportsmen and not by "game hogs". "They are detrimental but the present law if rigidly enforced will be ample for their propogation. If the gentleman considers these birds harmful, why not allow the "game hogs" to kill them off and why does he state that the present law if rigidly enforced will be ample for their propagation? Why does he wish to propogate harmful birds. The knowledge of the "habits and characteristics of wild game of all kinds" as possessed by the sportsman from Rawlins, Wyoming, is presumably confined to the methods of finding and approaching them for killing, rather than of what their food consists of and their nesting and relationship to the plant growths of the regions which they frequent. It is these latter features in the birds' life which are considered by the ranchmen when they ask for their protection. Yours very truly,
