CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME. 107 



because there is clanger of its passing beyond our control through its 

 entire extermination. Two methods of conserving tlie fur-bearers 

 are possible and practicable. Several species can be conserved by 

 rearing them on fur farms, thus alk)M'ing a monetary harvest to be 

 reaped. The remnant which is left in the wild can be made to hold its 

 own and to increase by giving the mammals proper protection by law. 

 Both of these methods are being employed with success in other parts 

 of the United States. California must fall in line and protect fur- 

 bearing mammals if she desires to conserve this asset to the state and 

 make it a source of income and a heritage to pass on to future 

 generations.
