QUAILOLOGY - DOMESTICATION, ETC. 47 



spring chicken will feel worse than "thirty cents." Breeding 

 stock is far short of the demand at the present time. We 

 have none to sell now, but could place from eight hundred to 

 a thousand pairs in the next few weeks at $3.00 a pair, if we 

 had them, and for perfectly tame hand raised birds there are 

 many iive dollar bills waiting. The "birds of the field" are 

 diminishing and the fanciers who supplant the supply with 

 domesticated stock on the market are sure of an increasing de- 

 mand for table use. 



To those who wish to inquire further we would say, kindly 

 enclose a stamp and we will cheerfully respond to your inquir- 

 ies. To those in the culture we solicit an exchange of notes 

 for mutual benefit. 



In the next section we have given a few letters from fan- 

 ciers and a few clippings from which we trust you may derive 

 some good.
