THE GAME BREEDER 



J. A. Tally, Quail Breeder. 



Mr. J. A. Tally, of Virginia, sending 

 his portrait with quails here reproduced, 

 writes : 



"I am new at the business and just 

 happened to get these this fall. They 

 were caught and raised from a day old 

 and I happened to be out hunting last 

 fall and heard about them and went by 

 to see themi and I got them and put them 

 in the window of my barber shop. They 

 stayed there through the winter without 

 even a wire to keep them in and I have 

 them at home now. They are as fat and 

 plump as any in the field. 



I can turn them out in the yard and 

 they will feed like chickens! They are 

 perfectly gentle and you can handle them 

 any way as you can see from the picture 

 The one on the right shoulder, also the 

 one on the right of the table, looking at 

 them, seem a little shy. They have only 

 been in captivity since they were grown. 



I caught them when out shooting and put 

 them with the tame ones ; they soon 

 were as tame as the others. 



As you see I have three cocks and 

 three hens. I am going to do my best to 

 raise these birds on a large scale and I 

 think it will be a nice business. I shall 

 keep all I can rear this season to breed 

 from next season." 



We hope Mr. Tally soon will be able to 

 advertise quail and quail eggs for sale 

 and we will guarantee to sell thousands 

 at surprising prices. 



Quail eggs should bring $5.00 or $6.00 

 per dozen, since duck and pheasant eggs 

 sell for $3.00 per dozen and sometimes 

 more. A quail should produce at least 

 5 dozen eggs. Keep the Game Breeder 

 and its readers posted as to what you 

 are doing, Mr. Tally, and if you have 

 any success at all you will be surprised 

 at the results.
