"IT." 



One of our Illinois members who 

 placed a small advertisement of three 

 lines in the magazine writes to say that 

 it instantly sold hundreds of eggs. It 

 would seem that there will be no danger 

 of our wild life vanishing so long as a 

 three line ad works wonders. 



Our advertiser says: "Your Paper Is 

 It!" 



Davis, of the Conservation Society, that 

 three cheers be given for Talbott of In- 

 diana and Eaton of Oklahoma. 



A MEETING OF GAME 

 BREEDERS. 



At the meeting of game breeders at 

 the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel a number of 

 interesting papers were read. These 

 have been published in a bulletin issued 

 by the American Protective Association. 

 We reprint the three most important 

 papers which describe quail breeding on 

 Long Island, New York, at the State 

 game farm in New Jersey, and at Mr. 

 Wm. Rockefeller's, ' Rockwood Hall. 

 Several score of sportsmen and State 

 game officers attended the meeting. Con- 

 sidering the fact that it was not an- 

 nounced in The Game Breeder or the 

 sporting magazines the attendance was 

 as large as could be expected and the 

 meeting was a great success. 



GAME BREEDING IN OKLA- 

 HOMA. 



Three cheers for Oklahoma! 



Hon. Walter R. Eaton, a member of 

 the Game Conservation Society, is en- 

 titled to the credit of placing a good 

 game breeders' law on the books of 

 Oklahoma. In a letter to The Game 

 Breeder, Mr. Eaton says : "I appreciate 

 the assistance you have rendered in the 

 matter. In my presentation of the law 

 to the Legislature I was: able to get peo- 

 ple interested in the game propagation 

 question who heretofore felt that all 

 game laws were simply for the purpose 

 of affording the town man the oppor- 

 tunity to come out and trespass on the 

 farmer's land. When we convince the 

 farmer that he too is to be benefitted 

 by the game laws then we will have 

 much better game laws than we have." 



This is well said and quite true. Our 

 readers are aware that one of the fun- 

 damental ideas of The Game Breeder is 

 that since the farmers own the best 

 shooting grounds their interests must be 

 considered in our game lawmaking. Pro- 

 fessor L. H. Bailey said long ago: "I 

 am sure that your fundamental idea that 

 the farming interests should be consid- 

 ered in game protection laws is sound." 

 We printed this opinion on the cover of 

 the March number in order to give it 

 emphasis and importance, especially with 

 members of the Legislatures in the 

 States where we expect to have our game 

 breeders' laws enacted. 



CHEERING. 



People out on Nassau Street who 

 heard the cheering^ the other day are in- 

 formed that it followed a motion by Mr. 



At this writing it appears that the 

 "otherwise than by shooting" nonsense in 

 New York has gone where the woodbine 

 twineth. We fired several broadsides at 

 this nonsense and for the last time we 

 reprint our cartoon illustrating field 

 sports as they were constituted in New 

 York by confirmed mischief makers. 

 Farewell, "otherwise" nonsense, we are 

 glad you're going.
