THE GAME BREEDER 



65 



which followed instantly the enactment 

 of a liberal law in his State. 



"On account of the game laws," he 

 says, "we only raised a few birds for our 

 own use until last year, when an amend- 

 ment was passed allowing a breeder pro- 

 tection. 



"Now we are raising more and we ex- 

 pect to increase our flocks each year. 



"I think this law will do a great deal 

 toward increasing the game in Iowa. 



"I am very much interested in the 

 work of The Game Conservation Society 

 and in The Game Breeder. I wish this 

 magazine could reach every hunter in the 

 country. If it could, soon there would be 

 a demand all over the United States for 

 common sense laws." 



Iowa has a capable State game officer. 

 See that he is kept in office until the 

 State becomes a big game producing 

 State. 



Incubators. 



A game keeper who called at the office 

 of The Game Breeder a few days ago 

 said he had great success in hatching 

 wild ducks in incubators sold by the 

 Spratt's Patent, Ltd. He has a 100 per 

 cent, hatch of wild ducks and an ex- 

 cellent percentage of pheasants. 



Literature. 



Tales of duck and goose shooting, il- 

 lustrated, edited and published by 

 William C. Hazelton, Chicago, $2.00 

 postpaid. 



This is an interesting book, containing 

 many remarkable tales of wild fowling 

 at some of the famous American shoot- 

 ing grounds. 



"Jumping Ducks on Current River" 

 is a well written story about duck shoot- 

 ing in the ozarks, by John B. Thompson. 

 This is followed by an original story by 

 Clyde B. Terrell, "Duck Hunting on 

 Skis." 



Many other good tales are told by 

 those who have shot on the Susquehanna 

 Flats ; at the Big Lake, Arkansas, one 

 of the best mallard lakes in the world ; 

 at Reelfoot, Tennessee; Pamlico Sounds 

 North Carolina ; at Storm Lake, Ne- 

 braska; and San Francisco Bay and in 

 Manitoba. 



There are many good pictures in the 

 book and our readers will be pleased to 

 be reliabily informed about the famous 

 American resorts for wild ducks and 

 geese. The book is interesting from 

 cover to cover and many of the stories 

 will be read more than once by those 

 who purchase it. The address of the 

 publisher is Wm. C. Hazelton, Pontiac 

 Building, Chicago.
