THE GAME BREEDER

A Bob-Tailed Heading or Camouflage. 



I notice one of the Game Protective 

 Associations has started a department in 

 Forest and Stream, using as a heading 

 part of your old slogan, "More Game 

 and Fewer Game Laws." The new head- 

 ing simply has "More Game" and looks 

 sort of bob-tailed to me. I have an idea 

 the protective societies all want more 

 laws all the time. 



J. S., 



Brooklyn, N. Y. 



[The words "more game" in our opinion 

 can not be given too much publicity. Our 

 trade mark and also the magazine purposely 

 are not copyrighted. We are glad to have 

 anyone use all or any part of our ideas. It 

 would hardly seem proper for game protec- 

 tive associations (which are seeking more laws 

 international, national, State, county, etc., in- 

 cluding laws putting the ruffed grouse and 

 other birds on the list with bobwhite and the 

 other singer) to say, "fewer game laws." 



A man from your borough who was in the 

 ofifice a few days ago said, "more game" 

 seemed with some people to be used as a sort 

 of camouflage to secure safety in getting more 

 game laws. — Editor.] 



More Game and Fewer Game Laws. 



It must be evident to all intelligent 

 game officers that if non-residents can 

 put over laws prohibiting sport they may 

 keep themselves well supplied with funds 

 but the game departments hardly can 

 expect money from shooting licenses 

 when it is illegal to shoot. 



Another One From Brooklyn. 



Editor, Game Breeder : 



What doth it profit a man if he save 

 his pump gun and loose his own field 

 sports? 



My full name and address are inclo.«ed 

 to show I am a member in good standing. 



[Probably you have been reading the gospel 

 according to St. Matthew. Your note strongly 

 suggests, "What is a man profited if he shall 

 gain the whole world," etc. Your inquiry 

 is referred to The Game Protective Society 

 for investigation and report. — Editor.] 



The prices for pheasants seem to be 

 rising. A number of advertisers report 

 they can not fill their orders. 



Members who have not tried an ad- 

 vertisement in The Game Breeder will 

 be surprised at the excellent returns they 



will get if they will ofifer game or eggs 

 or fish. 



Letters come often saying, my adver- 

 tisement in your magazine sold every- 

 thing I had to sell. 



OUTINGS AND INNINGS. 



Pheasants Warn of Approach of 



Hawks. 



A dispatch from Hood River, Oregon, 

 to the World, N. Y., says : 



Forest L. Moe, a rancher of the Odell 

 district, says he has lost no chickens 

 from the numerous hawks that frequent 

 the neighborhood because of a well-de- 

 fined system of signals maintained by 

 the Chinese pheasants on the place and 

 the barnyard fowls. 



The old pheasant cocks, according to 

 Mr. Moe, usually sight the hawk first. 

 Their cries are taken up by the barn- 

 yard rooster, who warns the old hens. 



"The latter," says Mr. Moe, "immedi- 

 ately hurry their little chicks to safety, 

 and thus the Chinese pheasants have 

 solved the hawk problem for us. The 

 birds eat up a good deal of corn, but I 

 figure that they are worth it." 



Eagle Stole First Papers. 



Lawrence Maeir is searching over 

 Greeley County, Nebraska, for his nat- 

 uralization papers. An eagle took the 

 document from his coat while Maeir was 

 working in a field. Maeir has petitioned 

 the Naturalization Department at Wash- 

 ington to grant the clerk of the District 

 Court here permission to reissue the pa- 

 pers. 



Meatless Days in Maryland. 



(From the fjaltimore American) 

 Maryland observes meatless days with 

 an extra portion of terrapin! 



A New Yorker. 



(From Life) 

 "You say he's a New Yorker?" 

 "Yes ; he lives in New Jersey, has a 

 country home on Long Island, spends 

 his winters in Florida and comes to New 

 ork occasionally to business." ■ 



Probably has a quail preserve in North 

 Carolina. — Game Breeder.
