Even while feeding upon afood which possesses a strong resinousflavor, the flesh of the Dusky Grouseis said to be fairly attractive. They are solitary birds and it is sel-dom that more than three or four adultsare seen together. Of course a familyof young, dependent upon the motherbird, make quite a party, but when theycan take care of themselves separationensues. It is only when the young areunable to fly into the branches of treesthat these tree-loving Grouse roost onthe ground. When disturbed, the youngquickly hide under leaves, bushes, orlogs, and their mother flies away andmakes an effort to attract attention toherself. A RAIN-TIME PRAYER O Father, kind, who sendeth from above These gentle drops of rainTo cheer the earth, and haste the birth Of buds, and grass, and grain—O Father, like these raindrops make my love, That evry heart I knowMay gain from me some strength to be, And learn, and love, and grow! —Jac Lowell. 192 The beautiful is as useful as the Mseful.—VictorHu^o.
