THE GAME BREEDER 



55 



John W, Talbot, of Indiana. 



Two Heroes. 



We print in this issue the portraits of 

 two prominent members of The Game 

 Conservation Society who won, recently, 

 two important battles for the right 

 against a field so full of prejudice, poli- 

 tics and graft that even the dean of 

 sportsmen at one time regarded it as 

 impregnable. 



Mr. John W. Talbot, of Indiana, is 

 entitled to the credit of putting through 

 a most liberal game breeders' law in his 

 State. 



Hon. Walter R. Eaton is entitled to 

 the credit of putting through a most lib- 

 eral game breeders' law in his. State — 

 Oklahoma. 



Both States undoubtedly will produce 

 game abundantly and we promise their 

 people that the food shall be sold in New 

 York. We propose to dine on some 

 Western game served in New York 

 within a year. Some one may go to jail, 

 possibly, but we think on the show-down 

 the game politicians of the old school 

 will pass; if they do not, they surely 

 will hear from the people if some of 

 them go to jail for serving or eating food 

 legally produced on the farms under laws 



specially enacted for that purpose. The 

 more game crowd is an enthusiastic 

 crowd, and some have volunteered in 

 writing to go to jail in other States if 

 they be foolishly arrested. Possibly we 

 may show a New York diner behind 



the bars.

CORRESPONDENCE. 



Editor Game Breeder: 



When my customers ask for a periodi- 

 cal on game breeding I always recom- 

 mend The Game Breeder as being the 

 only thing worth while.

The Game Breeder Is " It." 



Advertising Manager, Game Breeder: 



A few days after my little ad ap- 

 peared in The Game Breeder it sold 300 

 eggs to go to Massachusetts, 100 to go to 

 New York and just now I have another 

 good order. Your paper is it ! 

 Yours for more game,

The Boone and Crockett Club, N. Y. 



Editor The Game Breeder: 



Sickness and absence from home pre- 

 vented my acknowledging yours of the 

 3d. 



Though not authorized to speak for 

 this club, I am personally strongly of 

 the opinion that the commercial produc- 

 tion of game should be encouraged, and 

 I can see no reason why I should not be 

 allowed to kill and sell a pheasant which 

 was raised in my barnyard as well as 

 the ducks and chickens which often eat 

 out of the same trough in winter. The 

 former cost me most and I am as good 

 a judge of time and season in one case 

 as in another. 



Also the idea that birds will ever in- 

 crease under the present laws so as to 

 provide "free shooting for all men" and 

 meet the demand is a hazy dream. 



I cannot endorse the "Machold" bill 

 because I have not been able to procure 

 a copy and am going West to-night. 

 Yours truly, 



W. A. Wads WORTH.
