FROM THE GAME FIELDS,

taurants here. Then he went to Indian- 

 apolis, where our pot bellied legislators 

 eat quails and prairie chickens in June and 

 September and caught every hotel, res- 

 taurant and cold storage man in the place. 

 F. M. Gilbert, Game Warden, 

 Evansville, Ind. 



That man should be promoted. — Ed. 



Last fall T. Morgan, H. R. Lenny, R. 

 Sullivan, G. Henion and I went to Servion, 

 Montana. There we were met by guides, 

 previously engaged, and went about 50 

 miles to the hunting ground. The first 

 day we camped we killed 4 deer and a tur- 

 key. During our stay we killed 11 more 

 turkeys. 



C. M. Daniels, New York. 



A recent convention in this State passed 

 a resolution in favor of the passage of a 

 better law for the protection of our game 

 and insectivorous birds. Sentiment is rap- 

 idly growing in this State along that line, 

 and I feel sure our next General Assembly 

 will give us a more effective law than we 

 now have. 



Frank L. Littleton, Indianapolis, Ind. 



There are some deer and black bear in 

 this vicinity. The open deer season is the 

 last 10 days in October, and the law limits 

 a hunter to 2 deer. Rabbits are abundant, 

 and there is good fox and coon hunting. 

 We have good trouting, and some black 

 bass fishing. 



F. L. Cowdrey, Jamaica, Vt. 



Have read in Recreation how Braman 

 and Breede are stirring up the deer hound- 

 ers of Keene valley, N. Y. I am glad the 

 game wardens in the Adirondacks are wak- 

 ing up at last: there is plenty for them to 

 do. T. G. Taft, Saxtons River, Vt. 



A carrier pigeon skin has been sent me 

 from Rausr Point, N. Y., to be mounted. 

 It was shot July 27, and on its leg was an 

 aluminum band stamped with stencil: J. 

 B., 15 M., 00. Does anyone know who 

 sent this messenger, and whence it came? 

 W. P. Conger, Burlington, Vt. 



County Auditor Nelson has drawn wolf 

 bounty warrants for $1,048 since January 

 1st. This is at the rate of $7 for each 

 wolf, except 8 that were captured last year, 

 for which $<; bounty was paid. Of this 

 bountv the State pays 2-3 and the county 

 1-3. — Minnesota Exchange. 



I hand you herewith $1 for L. A. S. 

 membership of a friend of mine. He used 

 to be one of the worst game hogs I ever 



saw, but 3 months of Recreation have 

 completely cured him. 



F. A. Miner, Courtland, Minn. 



The mocking bird, so numerous in the suburbs of Dallas 

 5 years ago, is becoming scarcer with each returning 

 spring. They are being driven from the city by the Eng- 

 lish sparrow. The damage which the sparrow does in dis- 

 figuring buildings, and in driving away other birds, makes 

 it one of the worst of feathered pests. — Dallas (Tex.,) News. 



We have quails, rabbits, chickens and oc- 

 casionally a prairie wolf. But our game 

 will soon be exterminated if our people 

 continue to hunt it as they do now. 



L. J. Windsor, Little Cedar, la. 



Deer, bear, grouse and quails are scarce 

 in this county. Raccoons and mink are 

 plentiful. 



J. H. Heltzen, Davis, W. Va. 



If I had a doubt of the efficacy of 

 Recreation as an advertising medium, 

 that doubt is buried beyond hope of resur- 

 rection beneath the avalanche of answers 

 to my ad. in the August number. I sold 

 out in short order, and am now spending 

 a goodly portion of the proceeds for post- 

 age in answering belated applicants. Be- 

 sides money, I was offered every conceiv- 

 able variety of personal property, from a 

 30-volume encyclopedia to a 100-foot seine, 

 and from a case of Humphrey's specifics 

 to a setter pup. Recreation, like the 

 much besung Ann Eliza, is surely a sur- 

 prises and its readers are buyers from 

 Purchase and swappers from Dickerville. 

 G. A. Mack, Pleasantville, N. Y. 



"I'm going to be proud of that small 

 boy of mine one of these days," he ex- 

 claimed, earnestly. 



"Is he talented?" 



"No. He's going to be a business man. 

 I told him last week if he'd be a good boy 

 I'd take him to the circus. Instead of tak- 

 ing me right up, he thought the proposi- 

 tion over a minute, and then asked me if 

 I thought it was a good circus." — Wash- 

 ington Star. 



"I wrote to ask Miss Jimp to return my 

 love letters." 



"What did she do about it?" 



"She replied that she would gladly send 

 them back if she could find them." — Chi- 

 cago Record.
