THE AXGLER AND Ht'XTSMAX 



sirable from the stockman's viewpoint than game refuges, 

 for the reason that they are inflexible. The game refuge is 

 the last hope. Unless it comes, America will be a gameless 

 continent. What rider of the range is willing, for the sake 

 of a paltry mouthful of browse, to forego the thrill of seeing 

 the supple form of a white-tail buck vanish into the fringing 

 timber of a mountain park? What man i blooded to the 

 open and the sky, ' wishes to see the far-flung, ample moun- 

 tain ranges of the West stripped of every vestige of animal 

 life that can not be converted into dollars and cents ? The 

 sportsman of the West calls upon the stockgrowers of the 

 West to dismiss imaginary fears, and to say the word that 

 will give impetus to the one remaining chance of preserving 

 from annihilation the wild life of western America. ' ' 



The foregoing presents the case fairly and accurately. 

 The stockgrowers, the farmers, of this great country have it 

 in their own hands to materially aid in conserving the fast 

 fading game supply. I considered this such an excellent 

 exposition of the basic facts in the case that I desired to have 

 every reader of this book study it, hence its incorporation 

 herein. It is high time the farmers and the sportsmen got 

 together and worked together for the common good. 



Things To Remember: 



The sportsman in the field or mountains without match- 

 es can start his campfire by the aid of his shotgun. It has 

 been successfully experimented upon and is both simple and 

 .feasible. First, make preparations to start your fire from 

 the flame by building up your wood ready to light, standing 

 kindlings up on end against the larger sticks wigwam fash- 

 don, leaving an opening at the bottom for the tinder, shred- 

 ded bark, dry pine slivers or any dry splinter pounded be- 

 tween two rocks, any of which make good tinder. After re- 

 moving the shot from the cartridge, sprinkle the most of the 

 powder on the tinder, leaving only a few grains in the shell.
