THE GAME BREEDER 



the hard boiled egg and bread crumbs 

 we use for the first few days. They are 

 not fussy in their diet now, and consume 

 quantities of duck meal, rolled oats, let- 

 tuce, water cress and meal worms. 



They have posed for the movies but 

 are still unspoiled and I trust will be the 

 progenitors of a numerous race. 



A Good Award. 



Gold medal and highest award for 

 dog foods at the Panama-Pacific Expo- 

 sition has been given to Spratt's Patent, 

 Newark, N. J. 



Is this surprising when you are told 

 that at three (3) shows recently, over 

 3,000 prizes were won by dogs fed reg- 

 ularly and exclusively on Spratt's Dog 

 Foods ? 



The products manufactured by this 

 company have been on the market for 

 over fifty years. During this period they 

 have received the highest honors at all 

 the principal national and international 

 expositions, a convincing proof that 

 merit wins in the long run. 



There are more prize-winners reared 

 and fed on Spratt's Dog Foods than on 

 all others combined. 



Spratt's Patent will bench and feed 

 the Panama-Pacific Dog, Poultry, Cat 

 and Pet Stock Shows. These exhibi- 

 tions are among the largest and most im- 

 portant held in this country and the fact 

 that the contracts for all the above men- 

 tioned shows have been awarded to this 

 well-known firm speaks volumes for their 

 up-to-date methods, efficiency, etc. 



Is it a Wonder? 



The new Florida law, which is said to 

 vest the ownership of game in the vari- 

 ous counties of the State, is certainly 

 original. We have not received our copy 

 of the law and we will defer extended 

 comment until after we have read it. 



It may be that the law will work very 

 nicely in the interest of game breeders. 

 Farmers who wish to have game farms 

 and to own and sell game easily should 

 be able to persuade the local authorities 

 to let them have some of the county 

 property for propagation and when it 

 appears in one county that the people 



have the same freedom, that the people 

 have in all other civilized, countries, ex- 

 cepting the United States, and that they 

 are making money from the food pro- 

 ducing industry, it seems quite likely 

 that the people in other counties may de- 

 cide to become free from State game 

 politics. Counties which want more 

 freedom and "more game" should re- 

 joice. Game can be made more profit- 

 able than oranges. 



Question of Supplies. 



"Daisy," remarked her Sunday School 

 teacher, "don't love your cat too much. 

 What would you do if it died — you 

 wouldn't see it again?" 



"Oh, yes, teacher; I should see it in 

 heaven." 



"No, dear, you're mistaken; animals 

 cannot go to heaven like people." 



Daisy's eyes filled with tears, but sud- 

 denly she exclaimed triumphantly : "Ani- 

 mals do go to heaven, for the Bible says 

 the promised land is flowing with milk 

 and honey, and, if there are no animals, 

 where do they get the milk !" 



We invite the attention of State game 

 officers and game breeders to the an- 

 nouncement of W. J. Mackensen of the 

 Pennsylvania Game Farm printed in the 

 advertising pages. Mr. Mackensen 

 writes that he has made arrangements 

 to secure a large number of wild fowl 

 and we have no doubt -he will sell them 



all.

Sam and Luke, browsing around, 

 crossed the pasture. The Judge's bull 

 saw them, and Sam beat him to the fence 

 by a single stride with nothing to spare. 

 Luke, a bad starter, didn't try for the 

 fence ; he stuck to the open. He led the 

 bull around the field on the first lap, 

 while Sam, from the fence, urged him 

 to "a li'l bust er speed." On the second 

 lap Sam exhorted him : "Run, niggeh — 

 you ain' half runnin' !" The third time, 

 Sam yelled : "Make has'e !" Luke risked 

 all in his answer. "G'awn, man," he 

 gasped, "you doan think Ah'm throwin' 

 dis yer race, does yer?" — Credit Lost.
