THE GAME BREEDER 



reports seeing one near his home, running 

 across a field with a rabbit in its mouth.", 



The old-fashioned way when wild cats 

 and other vermin became abundant was 

 to call attention to the vanishing game 

 and enact laws prohibiting shootmg for 

 five or ten years. The modern way is to 

 purchase some Oneida traps and to con- 

 trol the activities of the cats, wild and 

 tame, and also many other game-eating 

 ground and winged enemies, and .to let 

 the people have the grouse and other 

 game which would be eaten in large 

 quantities by vermin were the game not 

 properly looked after. 



Maine has just enacted a game breed- 

 ers' law and some game farms have been 

 started where we will venture to say the 

 wild cats and other game enemies will 

 not eat much game. 



The Oneida Community, Ltd., Oneida, 

 N. Y., whose advertisement appears reg- 

 ularly in The Game Breeder, publishes a 

 valuable little book, "The Trapper's 

 Guide," which tells how to take the game 

 enemies. This costs only 25 merits, and 

 we advise our readers who have not se- 

 cured this book to do so. Many have 

 purchased it and all speak well of it. In 

 writing to the Oneida Community, Ltd., 

 sign your letters, "Yours for more game" 

 and they will know that you belong to the 

 big and rapidly-growing family of those 

 who are interested in the "sport produc- 

 ing." 



Game Wanted and For Sale. 



We know that many people, many hun- 

 dreds and probably many thousands of 

 people, now want more game birds and 

 deer for propagation purposes. Since 

 the importations of pheasants and gray 

 partridges have been ended by the war, 

 those who want stock birds must pur- 

 chase from American breeders. We have 

 often wondered that more of our mem- 

 bers do not advertise their wants. 



They can be sure that practically all 

 the breeders in the United States will 

 read the advertisements no matter how 

 small. they may be and often they may 

 get some desirable bargains. Some peo- 

 ple find our advertisements the most, in- 

 structive and valuable reading in the pub- 



lication. There- should be more of them, 

 especially true want ads.— "pheasants 

 wanted," "quail wanted," "wild ducks 

 wanted," etc. They should be placed 

 and left standing for several months. 



There are a lot of people who have 

 birds to sell, who do not advertise for 

 one reason or another. They will be 

 surprised at the results an advertisement, 

 costing only a few cents, will produce. 

 Try it, brothers, and see for yourselves. 

 Remember always that even small ads. 

 help the cause and make interesting read- 

 ing. 



Keep Busy. 



More Food ! more wild geese ! more 

 wild turkeys ! more grouse ! more quail ! 

 more ducks ! more deer ! Remember, 

 breeders, that it is your patriotic duty to 

 produce more game of all kinds. Those 

 who can afiford to eat game will buy all 

 that is offered at excellent prices and 

 many tons of game will be purchased and 

 eaten next fall and winter. Many who 

 are rejected for war service still can get 

 about sufficiently well on places where 

 game is abundant to act as harvesters. 

 The duty of the harvester is important 

 and pleasureable. If too heavy for much 

 walking try shooting from a pony, but 

 keep busy; see that a big lot of game 

 goes to those who will eat it. The am- 

 munition should be exclusively that ad- 

 vertised in The Game Breeder. Our ad- 

 vertisers perform a patriotic duty. 



Good Work. 



Reports coming to our Game Census 

 indicate that hundreds of tons of game 

 will be shot and eaten next fall and win- 

 ter by those who produced the food. 

 Good work ! 



We regard it as the duty of all mem- 

 bers of The Game Conservation Society 

 to deal with those who advertise in their 

 publication. The Game Breeder. W^hy 

 should you buy elsewhere? 



Why should any money be sent to 

 those who do not take enough interest in 

 the more game movement to support the*^' 

 magazine which stands for good' gartife'"'
