THE GAME BREEDER 



Large pheasant pens in the background cotitaining at ihc present time between three 

 and four hundred birds. Note quail coops, also two small coops with silky Bantam 

 chicks which are being raised for foster mothers for quail. 



Maine to experiment with and breed, 

 any of the desirable wild food birds and 

 the State encourages the industry and 

 permits the trapping of the necessary 

 stock birds under proper regulations. 

 Any one who knows the genial, lib- 



eral-minded Henry B. Austin and the 

 other game statesmen of Maine can 

 readily imagine that the nonsense which 

 was put over in New 'York making it 

 criminal to produce some foods and not 

 others will never appear in Maine. 



Interior of our cook room. All food is cooked or scalded before feeding. Note pans, 

 small pails, dish pans and steamer for use in preparing custarJs and pheasant foods 

 for young chicks. Also large sink for washing and keeping the dishes used in bird 

 rearing clean; this is most necessary.
