INTRODUCTORY xxvii 



by Wallace Evans, owner of the most successful game 

 farm in America; by George W. Field, chairman of 

 the Massachusetts Commission of Fisheries and Game; 

 and by Dwight W. Huntington, editor of The Game Breeder. 

 Part III I have gone over in person with Edward H. 

 Forbush, State Ornithologist of Massachusetts, author of 

 "Useful Birds and Their Protection." T. Gilbert Pear- 

 son has also read and approved the book. The tech- 

 nical sections in Parts I and II I have read with Alex- 

 ander G. MacVicar, one of the most expert game-keepers to 

 be found in America. Dr. L. F. Rettger has approved the 

 sections relating to diseases. I am deeply grateful to these 

 gentlemen for setting the seal of their reputation upon the 

 accuracy and value of this work.
