THE GAME BREEDER 



117 



breeders' gazette What is the annual 

 subscription rate for Canada ? Have you 

 any back samples containing articles on 

 water fowl such as teal, widgeon, duck, 

 geese and swan breeding? 



I have the best collection of water 

 fowl in Canada. I will call on you when 

 next in New York. I have had a lot of 

 experience in vermin destruction At 

 present I have quite a puzzle to solve as 

 two of my white swans have died within 

 a week and one of my blacks has mys- 

 teriously disappeared. I am a member 

 of the Waterfowl Club of Canada, also 

 a member of the Northern Nut Growers 

 Association. My present hobby is to 

 try and breed whistler swans, and later 

 •on a cross between whooper and whist- 

 lers, should I succeed in the first in- 

 stance. It may take years and lots of 

 waiting, but I can watch a hickory grow. 

 I have 17 acres of a most beautiful 

 valley in a lonely place close to Toronto. 

 A clear continuous running creek -flows 

 through the center of the valley and 

 woods crest the hillsides. It is pro- 

 tected from the north and northwest 

 winds and exposed to the winter sun.

Editor, Game Breeder. 



I will be glad to pay the express 

 charge on any shipment you may send 

 me of game bird eggs that are not suit- 

 able for hatching. I should be able to 

 recognize the Gambels when I see them, 

 but may not know the other species un- 

 less some memorandum is also enclosed 

 to let me know what they are. A 1 

 might be marked on a few eggs, and on 

 a memorandum opposite 1 name the bird 

 it represents, a 2 on a few others, etc.

Thousands More. 



Editor, Game Breeder. 



I have sold all of my surplus stock of 

 pheasants for this season. There was an 

 immense demand for live pheasants and 

 I could have sold thousands more of 

 them if I only had them. There's cer- 

 tainly a great future for pheasants in 

 our country.

I received The Game Breeder today 

 and immediately got very much interest- 

 ed in it. It sure is the best magazine 

 published on the subject I like to think 

 of most: breeding animals, pheasants and 

 ducks. Keep up the good work and the 

 fight for better game laws in New York. 



Yours for more game, 

 New York.

OUTINGS AND INNINGS. 

 No Hitch. 



From the Hot Springs Thomas Cat. 



Bert Hall, who came in from Peavine 

 Ridge Saturday, reports that the Ander- 

 son wedding went off without a hitch 

 Thursday night. Groom didn't show up. 



Kentifcky Hospitality. 



A Kentucky farmer is reported in the 

 Angler & Huntsman to have posted his 

 farm with the following notice to tres- 

 passers : 



Hunters take Notice: Hunt all you 

 durn please and when you hear the horn 

 blow, come to the house for dinner. If 

 you accidentally kill a cow, skin her and 

 hang the hide in the barn. If the quail 

 are scarce, kill a chicken or two, and if 

 you can't get any squirrels kill a hog. 



The Better Way. 



From the Baltimore American. 



One way to get the old job back is to 

 marry the girl that has it. 



[After you do so, fire the old job. Get 

 some land from Uncle Sam and start a game 

 farm. — Editor.] 



Narrow Confines. 



Hibbs — Rover never runs to the door 

 to meet me any more, wagging his tail. 



Mrs. Hibbs — I know he'd like to, dear, 

 but in this flat there isn't room for him 

 to wag it. 



[Tell the dog to wag his tail up and down 

 instead of sideways. All the dogs in the 

 Harlem flats have learned to do this. — 

 Editor.]
