of birds until the same shall have been 

 consumed. The law further specifically 

 authorizes the sale of such tagged game 

 by dealers in meat or hotel or restaurant 

 keepers. It is further required that the 

 licensee on or before the 15th of May of 

 each year shall report to the State Con- 

 servation Commission for the period 

 from the 1st of May to the 30th of April 

 next preceding, the total number of such 

 wild animals killed, transported or sold, 

 the names of the persons to whom the 

 same were transported or sold, and the 

 names of the persons by whom the same 

 were tagged and sealed, which report 

 should be verified by an affidavit of the 

 licensee. 



It will be noted that the tagging must 

 be under the supervision of the State 

 Conservation Commission. This does 

 not mean that they must send a Con- 

 servation warden to do the tagging, but 

 they have authority, under the statute, 

 to delegate that power to any officer or 

 reputable citizen residing near the 

 licensee. 



So far as I have been able to ascer- 

 tain no one in this State as yet has taken 

 advantage of this law for the propaga- 

 tion of game for commercial gain. How- 

 ever, I find a great many people are be- 

 coming intensely interested in the sub- 

 ject and are following with interest the 

 experience of others in this new indus- 

 try, and it is not unlikely that within a 

 short time the propagation of wild game 

 for market will be engaged in quite as 

 extensively as it now is in the Eastern 

 States.

captivity or in semi-captivity is not very 

 large. Many quail will be imported 

 from Mexico, provided the importations 

 are not preventetd by the unsettled con- 

 dition of the country or by those who 

 insist on holding birds in coops at the 

 border until the birds become afflicted 

 with diseases due to the confinement. The 

 quail should be shipped through to reput- 

 able dealers and inspected on the game 

 farms, if inspection is deemed necessary. 



There will be many more pheasants 

 and ducks sold in the markets as food 

 than there were last season, but the 

 prices will remain up, no dobut, since 

 there are not enough birds to fully sup- 

 ply the demand. Ducks will bring from 

 $2 to $3 per pair. Pheasants will sell 

 readily at $5.00 per pair or more. 



The prices of ducks will be much lower 

 of course, in states which permit the 

 sale of birds taken on public waters. 



The Game Market. 



The demand for live game is increas- 

 ing. _ Many sportsmen who intend 

 breeding next season are taking our ad- 

 vice and are purchasing pheasants and 

 ducks early. There is, as usual, a wait- 

 ing list with all the dealers for quail. 

 Those who order early will get quail as 

 long as the supply holds out. We predict 

 there will be more birds sold this season 

 than there were last year, but we are 

 not at liberty to say where the dealers 

 get their birds. The number bred in

 In view of rumors which have gained 

 circulation to the effect that this com- 

 pany has changed hands, we feel called 

 upon to advise that the "Remington 

 Arms Co. of Delaware," whose plant is 

 located at Eddystone, Pa., and which 

 was sold to the Midvale Steel and Ord- 

 nance Co., was merely a subsidiary 

 company organized solely for the execu- 

 tion of a large order for military rifles. 

 No sporting arms have been manufac- 

 tured at that plant, nor was there any 

 intention to manufacture such. It was 

 this plant only that was sold to the Mid- 

 vale company. 



The Remington Arms Works at Ilion, 

 N. Y., the Union Metallic Cartridge 

 Works and the new Remington Arms 

 Wojks at Bridgeport, Conn., and the 

 Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cart- 

 ridge Works at Windsor, Canada, have 

 undergone no change whatever and none 

 is contemplated. These works are still 

 being conducted under the same name, 

 same ownership and same management 

 as heretofore.
