An advertiser writes that he had or- 

 ders for 47,000 more game birds this 

 year than he could supply ; and he sells 

 many thousand every season. 



cure game for their customers, filling 

 the orders in the order in which they 

 are received. 



It would be interesting to have Mr. 

 Grinnell visit some of the game shooting 

 clubs, game farms and ranches and see 

 if he thinks we must wait fifty years 

 for good shooting. We know places 

 where grandfather's speed would seem 

 to be a back number. We rejoice that 

 we don't have to wait fifty years. We 

 fear we hardly would shoot well with 

 that number of years added to our pres- 

 ent number — some sixty-odd. 



The war interfered somewhat with 

 some of our proposed activities. We 

 had proposed organizing the game farm- 

 ers and sportsmen in order to be able 

 to quickly engage in more experimental 

 work and to see that proper amendments 

 be made to the laws in states where still 

 it is fashionable to arrest food producers 

 on account of their industry. 



With all of the young men away it 

 was decided that some of the proposed 

 work of the society must be deferred ; 

 but with the fight for more game and 

 fewer game laws practically won (many 

 details are to be worked out) we hope 

 soon to have the school for game keep- 

 ers and many other projects well started. 



Since the game which goes to the 

 clubs, preserves and to state officers is 

 utilized for sport and later for food ; and 

 since vermin no doubt gets much of it 

 the customers are continually in the mar- 

 ket for more game and advertisers often 

 write that they have a bigger mail than 

 they can answer. 



Those who appreciate the good work 

 the magazine does for them keep their 

 advertisements standing, in order to help 

 the cause, and they do their best to se- 



Mounted Mammals Wanted. 



(We hope some of our readers will write 

 to Dr. Bigelow offering mammals. — Editor.) 

 My dear Mr. Huntington : 



I am caring for the interests of the 

 Bruce Museum as Curator free of all in- 

 come, even paying my own expenses, do- 

 ing it all as a labor of love in the great 

 cause of promulgating the interest in 

 nature. 



I want you to help us in finding mount- 

 ed mammals that will be presented to us 

 or sold at moderate prices. Will you 

 kindly insert a notice that gifts along 

 that line will be much appreciated. Do 

 you know of any one who has mounted 

 mammals that would either give or sell 

 at moderate prices? 



Cordially yours, 



Edward F. Bigelow. 



Dear Mr. Bigelow: 



It will give me pleasure to have a 

 few mammals we may take on our game 

 farm and also some game birds mounted 

 and sent with the compliments of the 

 game conservation society if you care 

 for these. Most of the readers of The 

 Game Breeder are interested in game 

 birds but some have elk and deer and 

 possibly they may donate some weasels, 

 mink, skunk or fox if you want these 

 animals. 



I am inserting your request, with pleas- 

 ure, since our society desires to be help- 

 ful in all good work and we will pay 

 for the mounting of several animals, 

 provided our readers will furnish them 

 to our taxidermist. 



Very truly yours, 



D. W. Huntington.
