Amherst, Silver or Reeves pheasants bring as high as $15.00 each for mounting purposes, 

 and are in great demand by taxidermists. Beside this market, every variety of pheasants 

 are kept all over the United States as a petjbird. A great many of our wealthy fanciers keep 

 a pheasantry to-day. Howard Gould's plant and collection of pheasants in Port Washing- 

 ton, New York, is said to be worth $8,000. The pheasant industry is growing fast. I think 

 I was one of the first pheasant boomers in this country, and have agents all over the world.
