THE GAME BREEDER 



undei- the supervision and control of the 

 individual, as game in the wild state. 

 But, mind you this is not to apply to 

 game dead or alive "in possession," ex- 

 cept this possession is beyond the limits 

 of the territory where game is under 

 supervision and control, which would 

 clearly be expressed in the words "on 

 farms or enclosed lands, and in protect- 

 ed fields." 



It is my purpose to write the Commis- 

 sioners of this state for the purpose of 

 procuring such a law. 

 Yours truly,

Editor The Game Breeder : 



Referring to your note on page 7 in 

 your , October number, permit me to 

 say that it was not the blue shark which 

 bit anybody. The blue shark has never 

 been known to bite man. The only 

 shark known certainly to bite is the 

 great white shark of the tropics which 

 comes north occasionally in the Gulf 

 Stream, one of which undoubtedly the 

 criminal, was taken in New York Bay 

 last summer. I obtained one some forty 

 years ago at Soquel, California. It was 

 thirty feet long and had a whole young 

 hundred-pound sealion in its stomach. 

 Very truly yours,

lands. Please notify your readers that 

 I have no more birds to sell and will 

 have no pheasants or. eggs to sell next 

 spring. I am now breeding quail ex- 

 clusively, but will sell no eggs next 

 spring since I am going to hatch all the 

 eggs myself. 



Be sure and let me know when my 

 subscription to The Game Breeder ex- 

 pires. I do not want to miss a number.

"Some" Testimonial. 



The Game Breeder, New York: 



I sent you an advertisement for one 

 insertion in The Game Breeder. It ap- 

 peared all right but when it appeared a 

 second time I was surprised, although I 

 received a letter stating that it was left 

 in by mistake and that the money I sent 

 to pay the bill would be returned. I did 

 not reply to this letter because the ad 

 sold all my birds and I felt I had re- 

 ceived my money's worth. 



Since I sold all my pheasants answers 

 to the advertisement from all quarters 

 have kept coming. I am just being 

 swamped with inquiries from every- 

 where including Hawaii, Sandwich Is- 



Editor Game Breeder : 



I am very much interested in article 

 "Pheasants' Pens" on page 86, Decem- 

 ber issue. Can I get a plan of this large 

 pen or can you refer me to one who has ? 

 Yours very truly, 



Geo. C. Goodfellow.

 large pen. — Editor.)

 Gentlemen : 



Since Wallace and I can not attend 

 the game dinner I think the least we 

 should do is to pay a fine, and I am 

 inclosing check for $10. You can use 

 it for any purpose you see fit for the 

 benefit of The Game Conservation So- 

 ciety. I think we all are indebted to the 

 editor of The Garne Breeder for having 

 applied his time and money to the 

 "More Game" movement for years. 

 Perseverance generally receives its re- 

 wards sooner or later, and I am just as 

 positive now as I always have been, 

 that he will receive his just reward 

 sooner or later.

Now is the time to advertise eggs. 

 Those who get their advertisements in 

 early will secure the best results. 



Now is a good time for the shooting 

 clubs to write to the breeders and make 

 contracts for late summer and early fall 

 delivery of birds for shooting purposes.
