THE GAME BREEDER 



23 



cents to the cost of any publication and 

 we will send it with "The Breeder" for 

 a year. 



While the fight for "more game" may 

 be said to have been fairly won by "The 

 Amateur Sportsman," and the evidence 

 of the victory may be found in many 

 state statutes, the reform of our game 

 laws in some states still requires our at- 

 tention, and after that the instruction of 

 the breeders which includes a descrip- 

 tion of the best methods of destruction 

 of the natural enemies of game must 

 invite our attention fully as much as the 

 pleasures of the chase. 



CORRESPONDENCE 



Editor "The Game Breeder" : 



I entirely agree with you that "The 

 Amateur Sportsman" should have been 

 reserved as a journal relating to propa- 

 gation and maintenance of game. 

 With cordial regards, 



G. W. FIELD, 

 Chairman Commissioners on Fisheries 

 & Game. 

 Boston, Mass. 



[Dr. Field has been interested in the fight 

 for more game and for a reform in the 

 game laws from the beginning of the move- 

 ment. He served with the writer on the 

 Committee of the Breeders' Association, 

 which reported the important resolution 

 quoted in this issue, and at once he pro- 

 ceeded to see that the Massachusetts laws 

 were amended to conform to the resolution. 

 His state now grants permits to breeders to 

 rear all species of game, and as soon as the 

 people learn how to profitably rear game 

 the state will become a big game producing 

 state. — Editor.] 



To the Editor of "The Game Breeder" : 

 I enclose herewith an order for the 

 cut used in my advertisement in "The 

 Amateur Sportsman," and I have sent 

 the management a request to stop my 

 advertisement in that magazine. 



I shall be pleased to give "The Game 

 Breeder" a good trial and you can insert 

 my advertisement in the first issue and 

 I will send you a cheque. 



I regret your leaving the editorship 

 of "The .Amateur Sportsman," but am 

 consoled by the reflection that with "The 

 Game Breeder" well started, vour work 



mportant work — for more game will 

 suffer but a temporary interruption. I 

 am sure that earnest advocates of reform 

 of the game laws have long regarded' 

 your work as indispensible. 



J. W. WHEALTON. 

 Chincoteague, Virginia. 



[Mr, Whealton is one of the ablest game 

 breeders in America, and is an authority,, 

 especially on wild fowl. — Editor.] 



Editor of "The Game Breeder" : 



Am sending a cut for a half page ad- 

 vertisement, although I am about sold 

 out. Expect still to get 800 or i,ooO' 

 quails and can furnish some ducks and 

 pheasants and pairtridges and rabbits. 

 Glad to hear you have changed your 

 mind and will continue to edit a good 

 magazine. Keep up the fight. You cer- 

 tainly are winning it. , 

 Yours truly. 

 New York. J. W. LUCAS. 



Editor "The Game Breeder" : 



I was astonished when I learned that 

 you were to retire and am glad to learn 

 that you will continue your good work.. 

 Yours truly, 

 CHARLES HALLOCK. 

 Washington, D. C. 



[A letter from the Dean of Sportsmen 

 always is most welcome. He deserves great 

 credit for lending his influence to the cause 

 and giving good advice to the editor.] 



Dear Mr. Huntington : 



The news that you were about to re- 

 tire came like the proverbial thunder- 

 bolt. Under the circumstances the 

 quickest break is the best. 



R. W. SHUFELDT. 



Washington, D. C. 



Dear Mr. Huntington : 



Your letter came this morning just 

 in time for me to answer a question 

 from one of our correspondents as to a 

 journal devoted to the propagation of 

 game. I have referred him to "The 

 Game Breeder." 



T. S. PALMER, 

 Asst. Chief, Biological Survey, 

 U. S. Dept. Agriculture.
