The patridge iz also a game bird. Their game iz tew drum on a log in the
spring ov the year, and keep both eyes open, watching the sportsmen.
Patridges are shot on the wing, and are az easy to miss az a ghost iz.
It iz phun enuff to see the old bird hide her yung brood when danger iz
near. This must be seen, it kant be described and make enny boddy
beleave it.
The patridge, grouse, and pheasant are cousins, and either one ov them
straddle a gridiron natural enuff tew hav bin born thare.
Take a couple of yung patridges and pot them down, and serve up with the
right kind ov a chorus, and they beat the ham sandwich yu buy in the
Camden and Amboy Railroad 87 1-2 per cent.
I have eat theze lamentabel Nu Jersey ham sandwich, and must sa that i
prefer a couple ov bass wood chips, soaked in mustard water, and stuk
together with Spalding's glue.
