doing much towards making the country 

 a big game producing country, as it 

 should be. 



The Game Breeder: 



With reference to your correspondent 

 who wishes information regarding Blue 

 Pit Games, will say I am a game fancier, 

 with a taste for the rare and unusual, 

 and while the blue variations are com- 

 paratively common, such as Blue Red, 

 Blue Grey, Blue Pyle and Blue Spangle, 

 I have only found one man out of hun- 

 dreds of correspondents who claims to 

 have the genuine Blue Pit Games. 



Your inquirer should address Dr. R. 

 Armfield, Marshville, N. C. 

 Very respectfully, 



C. N. McElhany.

Some Unsolicited and Appreciated 

 Remarks. 



Editor Game Breeder: 



Our once-run advertisement in The 

 Game Breeder made a nearly complete 

 clean-up of our offerings — 3 dogs and all 

 the game egg orders we could handle, at 

 a cost of less than 1 per cent, for the 

 advertising.

Editor Game Breeder: 



Please take my advertisement out of 

 The Game Breeder. I have sold all my 

 surplus stock and still orders are coming 

 which I can not fill.

Editor Game Breeder : 



Your may discontinue my deer ad. , It 

 sold all the deer and I do not wish to be 

 obliged to answer the many letters which 

 are still coming. F. A. F. 



Illinois. 



Editor Game Breeder: 



That ad. did all the work. Letters be- 

 gan coming at once. I had lots of in- 

 quiries and ..quickly sold all the wild tur- 

 keys and eggs I could spare * * * 



Before closing I must say how the re- 

 sults have encouraged me and how proud 

 I am of shipping eggs at such a price.

The New Law for New York. 



[The following new law for New York is 

 important for non-resident game breeders. It 

 should add $5 to the value of every acre used 

 for game and probably more.— Editor.] 



Section 377. Certain mammals and birds 

 may be imported from without the State and 

 sold. Any person engaged in the business of 

 raising and selling domesticated American elk, 

 whitetail deer, European red deer and fallow 

 deer, roebuck, pheasants, mallard ducks and 

 black ducks, or any of them, in a wholly en- 

 closed preserve or entire island, of which he 

 is the owner or lessee, under a breeder's law 

 providing for the tagging of all preserve bred 

 game and otherwise similar in principle to the 

 law of the State of New York in such case 

 made and provided, may make application in 

 writing to the commission for a permit to im- 

 port such mammals or birds into the State of 

 New York and sell the same. In the event 

 that the commission shall be satisfied that the 

 said mammals and birds are bred in captivity 

 and are killed and tagged under a breeding 

 law similar in principle to that of the State of 

 New York, upon the payment of a fee of five 

 dollars, together with such additional sum as 

 the commissioner, may determine to cover the 

 necessary cost of inspection, the commission 

 may in its discretion issue a revocable permit 

 in writing to such applicant to import such 

 mammals and birds raised as aforesaid into 

 the State of New York and to sell the same, 

 in which case the provisions of sections three 

 hundred and seventy-two, three hundred and 

 seventy-three and three hundred and seventy- 

 four of the conservation law, in so far as the 

 same are applicable, shall apply. 



Section 2. This act shall take effect im- 

 mediately."

A Bait Shortage. 



The Master (taking the class on the 

 subject of the Deluge) : "You remarked 

 that Noah couldn't spend very much time 

 fishing while in the Ark. What makes 

 you think so?" 



Experienced Scholar : "Because there 

 were only two worms in the Ark, sir." — 

 Melbourne Leader. 



It should be legal everywhere to trap 

 birds for propagation under permits- 

 from the State on wild lands and with- 

 out permits on. the private^ lands owned 

 by game breeders.
