Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Game and Game Coverts
Handbooks on Game. Game Preservation and Agriculture. Value of Shootings. Pheasant Disease. Disease in Small Preserves.
The author of the following chapters hopes that the infor mation offered will be useful to owners of estates who preserve game. They do not profess to deal with the Gamekeeper's duties SO much as with the formation Of Game Coverts that will afford protection, Shelter, natural food, and provide generally favourable conditions for game preservation, combined with shooting facilities and the welfare of the woods. Without good covert of a permanent kind and properly distributed it will be admitted, we think, that the preservation of game, and especially of pheasants, is well nigh hopeless. Given good covert, and plenty of it, the keeper's duties and owner's expenses are reduced to a minimum.
The author is well aware that a number of the trees and plants mentioned in the following pages are quite common, or at least known, but it is not the trees and plants them selves, SO much as their uses for covert purposes, to which he seeks to draw attention, believing that game preservers and gamekeepers do not make nearly as good a use Of many of the materials at their disposal as they might.
