ters and pointers and go in for more 

 game. 



We hope to be able to invite some 

 sportsmen from other regions to try the 

 good shooting on Long Island in order 

 that they may learn how easily the thing 

 is done and that they may return home 

 and form new shooting clubs. They will 

 become customers of the game farmers 

 whose products always are advertised in 

 The Game Breeder. They will purchase 

 guns, ammunition and dogs. Game is 

 becoming abundant so rapidly that it 

 soon will be necessary for the game 

 farmers to have more shooting custom- 

 ers. Those who advertise report excel- 

 lent results. It is the aim of The Game 

 Breeder to keep up the supply of good 

 customers as the industry assumes large 

 proportions.

Sportsmen Buy Preserve in Adiron- 

 dacks. 



The famous Low estate in the Adiron- 

 dacks, known as the Lake Marian pre- 

 serve, has just been sold to a club to be 

 used as a hunting and fishing park. The 

 club, to be known as the Lake Marian 

 Association, Inc., has a very small mem- 

 bership, but includes such well known 

 people as Winant Vanderpool and P. H. 

 B. Freylinghuysen of Morristown, N. J., 

 Paul Moore and George Plumer Smith 

 of Convent, N. J., Bradford Brinton of 

 Dickson, 111., and A. A. Low of New 

 York City. 



The tract which the club has purchased 

 is 11,600 acres in extent and includes sev- 

 eral mountains, vast stretches of forest 

 abounding in deer, and nine lakes among 

 which some of the best known are Lake 

 Marian, Colvin and Panther. 



Lake Marian, known to old timers as 

 Silver Lake, is probably the most famous 

 lake in this section of the country, both 

 for its exceptional beauty and for its re- 

 markable fishing. One of the most ex- 

 traordinary things about the lake is that, 

 although it has never been stocked, the 

 fishing is as good today as it was thirty 

 years ago, and then as now is was ex- 

 cellent. 



It is not in the least unusual to catch a 

 good number of brook trout in an hour 

 on the fly in its waters. Colvin pond was 

 discovered in 1873 by Verplank Colvin 

 on his first exploration and survey of the 

 Adirondacks. It is high up on the top of 

 a mountain and is a very beautiful pond. 

 Years ago it was stocked with Ouan- 

 aniche (land-locked salmon) which in 

 this lake attain a size of seven pounds. 



The Lake Marian Club is connected 

 with Horse Shoe, which is on the Ad- 

 irondack division of the New York Cen- 

 tral, by a private road over the Low es- 

 tate, and may also be reached by motor 

 from outside points via Long Lake west 

 over another private road. — Sportsman's

Quail and Pheasants. 



The Game Breeder. 



In the May number of The Game 

 Breeder you ask the readers who have 

 pheasants and quail what they think 

 about them running together. I will say 

 that I have ring neck pheasants and bob 

 white quail in the same pen and they 

 never fight. They lay in the same nest. 

 I have a ring neck pheasant setting now 

 on six pheasant eggs and eight quail eggs. 

 However when the eggs hatch they will 

 have to be separated. 



I would like for you to give the ad- 

 dress of some one who has ruffed grouse 

 for sale. 



Jack Holland. 



Texas. 



The only Ruffed Grouse dealer was arrested 

 so often that we understand he quit. The 

 New York markets probably will be supplied 

 with imported black cock and the cats only 

 will be permitted to have American grouse. 

 Rapidly these birds are going on the song bird 

 list. Connecticut is the latest State to approve 

 this notion. We believe the game shooting 

 clubs and preserve owners will continue to 

 shoot the grouse they own, but the shipping 

 facilities are so bad that none of them cares 

 to ship any grouse. 



P. S. — -Since writing the above we have 

 heard of a ruffed grouse game farm which is 

 starting. It surely will make a lot of money. 

 It will be announced in The Game Breeder 

 later. — Editor.
