THE GAME BREEDER 



Young Ducks and Foster Mother 



We were asked recentl}' if a hen, when used as a foster mother for wild 

 ducks, ever went into the water. The above picture made by Mr. Lane of the 

 Remington U. M. C. Co., at the preserve of The Game Breeders' Association, 

 shows a hen in the water. At one time we saw her actual!}' floating on the water 

 if not swimming with the young ducks. 



The experimental work carried on b}' The Game Breeders' Association under 

 the management of the Editor of the Game Breeder will be continued by The 

 Game Conservation Society at a new game farm. We produced thou.sands of 

 pheasants and ducks, and as a result of the experiment manj- new preserves and 

 shooting clubs were started b\' our members. The new experiment will consist 

 large!}' of the breeding of American Game Birds by proper methods, and, no 

 doubt, will result in all those who prefer quail and grouse to the imported pheasants 

 being able to procure these birds with instructions as to the methods used in 

 making them abundant. Some pheasants and wild turkeys also will be reared 

 Tor the next game dinner, to be given when peace is declared. 



The new farm will be supported by small subscriptions from our members. 

 Checks should be made to The Game Conservation Society, and mailed to The 

 Game Breeder, 150 Nassau St., New York.
