I have a small game preserve now 

 stocked with elk and Virginia deer. Should 

 be glad to learn through Recreation where 

 I can buy a pair each of antelope, mule 

 deer and fallow deer. Last summer I 

 raised a brood of native quails. They be- 

 came as tame as chickens. I purpose to try 

 raising California quails this year.
