THE GAME BREEDER 



The Lost Game. 



How dear to my heart is the quail on the toast ; when fond recollec- 

 tion presents it to view. The roast grouse, the woodcock, the teal and 

 the curlew, and all the loved game which my infancy knew. Walt Mason 

 should know since he lives in the land where prairie grouse nourished; 

 where wild ducks were at hand for all who would shoot them and pluck 

 them and eat them, but where now, alas ! there is nothing but sand with 

 some pastures and wheat fields, corn and green truck; but where are the 

 antelope, bison and buck deer which once were so plentiful ? Any sports- 

 man by chance, fond of an outing or shooting romance could fill up his 

 larder and give the plump quail to a friend, if he wished to, without 

 going to jail. Game laws in abundance have been placed in the books: 

 little game they preserved for our foxes and rooks. ;!•
