THE GAME BREEDER 



A Good Book and Two Bulletins. 



We take pleasure in announcing a new 

 book entitled, "Propagation of Wild 

 Birds; a Manual of Applied Ornithol- 

 ogy/' by Herbert K. Job, economic or- 

 nithologist in charge of the department 

 of Applied Ornithology of the National 

 Association of Audubon Societies. This 

 book, which soon will be issued, will con- 

 tain much matter of especial interest to 

 game breeders. In it are described in 

 full practical detail the methods success- 

 fully used in America by various experts 

 in the propagation of upland game-birds 

 and water fowl, and also methods of 

 attracting the smaller land birds. It is 

 fully illustrated by photos from life and 

 will be published early in May by 

 Doubleday, Page & Co., $2 net. To avoid 

 mistakes, it has been read before publi- 

 cation, in part or entire, by such experts 

 as D. W. Huntington, editor of The 

 Game Breeder, F. C. Walcott, Dr. 

 George W. Field, A. G. Mac Vicar and 

 T. Gilbert Pearson. 



Further to help the popular more 

 game movement, the National Associa- 

 tion of Audubon Societies is publishing, 

 for free distribution, two handsome and 

 extended pamphlets, with half-tones and 

 colored frontispieces, on propagation of 

 upland game birds and propagation of 

 American water fowl, in a first edition 

 of ten thousand each. These are also 

 by Mr. Job, being abbreviated treatment 

 of the same, subjects as found in the 

 book, where they are thoroughly han- 

 dled. The first will be out before we 

 go to press, the other shortly after. We 

 want to place them where they will do 

 good. Those who will be helped by them 

 are invited to write to The Game 

 Breeder, 150 Nassau St., New York. 



Outings and Innings. 



A man promptly gets thirty days for 

 killing a cat and a boy ninety days for 

 killing a rabbit. It is safer to kill hu- 

 man beings and get — off.
