THE GAME BREEDER 



In some states the sportsmen are now 

 headed in the right direction, fortunate- 

 ly, and we know where to go when we 

 wish to shoot a few dozen quail in a 

 day, but it is sad to see vast areas be- 

 ing closed to any industry and to any 

 shooting simply because the sportsmen 

 do not realize that game must have some 

 practical protection from its natural en- 

 emies, some food and some covers if 

 any shooting is to be done without cre- 

 ating the alarms at the scarcity which 

 surely result^ in the prohibition of 

 shooting.

[We received a number of letters about the 

 mallards on the front cover of the Septem- 

 ber issue. These ducks, the owner says, are 

 straight bred mallards reared from several 

 generations on a game farm. — Editor.] 



W. F. Weary, an Iowa breeder, says: 

 "In regard to the picture of the mallards 

 on the front cover of the September 

 Game Breeder I will say that it is my 

 opinion that they are 'near mallards.' 

 They look a little large and heavy in 

 the breast. 



"I enjoy the magazine very much and 

 I heartily agree with you in saying, 

 'more game and fewer game laws,' I 

 believe it would be better for everyone 

 if our state legislatures only met once in 

 six or eight years instead of every two." 



A Good Result. 



James Edgar, gamekeeper, writes : "My 

 advertisement in The Game Breeder sold 

 my eggs as quick as I could gather 

 them. I could have sold thousands more 

 if I could have spared them." 



Those who have birds or eggs to sell 

 should let our readers know what they 

 have. The prices obtained makes the 

 advertising quite worth while. 



Big space advertisements indicate that 

 the advertiser can furnish birds and eggs 

 in big numbers. A few thousand birds 

 and eggs at present prices soon will pay. 

 for a farm. 



The game-breeding industry is grow- 

 ing so rapidly that the prices for birds 

 and eggs are higher than ever before. 

 Inquiries for eggs are coming earlier 

 than usual. We advise purchasers to 



place their orders for birds and eggs 

 early in order not to be disappointed. 



Remember always that those who ad- 

 vertise in The Game Breeder should re- 

 ceive your orders since they support the 

 more game movement and have made it 

 possible for you to breed game and to 

 have good shooting. 



Send us your advertisement if you 

 only have a few birds or eggs to sell. 

 Advertisers all report that they get ex- 

 cellent results. 



A Real Sportsman's Calendar. 



To the average sportsman, the year begins 

 in September. Then, Nature starts to paint 

 the forest leaves a brighter tint, the nuts are 

 nipped with the first frost, the Autumn haze 

 clothes the hills, and — the game seasons open. 



A sportsman whose heart responds to the 

 September call of the hunt suggested to the 

 Remington UMC people that a calendar for 

 the tribe of Nimrod should be issued with this 

 month of charm leading all the rest. So the 

 Remington calendar comes to us this year 

 bearing leaves for all the months from Sep- 

 tember, 1917, to December, 1918, inclusive. 



In another respect this calendar is a prece- 

 dent breaker. The full color sketch which 

 adorns it is in Lynn Bogue Hunt's best style 

 — in fact good judges say that Mr. Hunt never 

 did a better thing. Have you had a covey of 

 quail whir-r-r up right under your feet? If 

 you have had this experience, you will get a 

 much better view of the birds and in just as 

 true color when you see this splendid calen- 

 dar. Should you be looking forward to com- 

 ing upon your first quail, Mr. Hunt here 

 saves you the trouble of going to the fields. 

 Just below the sketch is another new note — 

 an extremely artistic view of the mammoth 

 Remington UMC factories. 



Sportsmen the world over will treasure this 

 calendar — those who are fortunate enough to 

 get one — and when its sixteen leaves have 

 gone, will frame it "for keeps." 



Write to The Remington U.M.C. Co., the 

 Woolworth Building, and ask them to send 

 you this beautiful calendar. You will be 

 lucky if you get your letter to them before the 

 issue is exhausted. 



The DuPont Company of Wilmington, Del., 

 has just issued a very attractive book entitled 

 "The Sport Alluring." It is artistically 

 printed as well as illustrated and will give 

 many a very different idea of what one us- 

 ually thinks the sport of trapshooting is. 



It contains over thirty illustrations that will 

 interest any sporting man. Lovers of outdoors 

 should write for one. 



We advise our readers to write at once 

 for these interesting books.
