State for big game in the absence of any regular State 
refuge. Buffalo formerly ranged over the lands in the 
valley not far from the club house and would undoubt- 
edly thrive if reintroduced in this locality. 
Wisconstn.—The State Park, which is also a game 
refuge, includes 600 acres in Door County. This park 
is located on the east side of Green Bay and includes 
both open grazing lands and timber. It is well watered, 
has abundant feed and is apparently well adapted for 
buffalo and other big game, the only objection being 
the necessity for feeding during part of the winter and 
the comparative inaccessibility. When the park be- 
comes better known, it will undoubtedly be the center 
of attraction for many visitors, as it is not far from 
several popular summer resorts on the east side of 
Green Bay. 
STOCKING THE PRESERVES.—It is beyond the means 
of the American Bison Society to provide herds for 
the various State parks, and such action is probably 
unnecessary. The Yellowstone National Park now has 
a considerable number of superfluous bulls of various 
ages, and the Superintendent of the park has recom- 
mended that provision be made for disposing of some 
of these animals. If these bulls could be distributed 
to some of the State preserves on condition that for 
each bull two cows should be provided, it might solve 
the question of establishing one or more State herds. 
Cows can be purchased either from the Phillips’ herd, 
at Pierre, S. Dak., or the Corbin herd, at Newport, N. 
H., or from other private herds. Some States have 
funds which could be used for such purposes, or in spe- 
cial cases the Society might assist in securing a few 
animals to inaugurate the movement. The plan is be- 
lieved worthy of careful consideration, and it is hoped 
that in some such way, directly or indirectly, the estab- 
lishment of one or more herds may be brought about in 
the near future through the medium of this Society.
