THE CHANGING YE ARS 
(continued from page 257) 
pursuit so hedged about by restrictive 
laws, that it is only the man who is spe- 
cially favored of fortune who may hope 
to see them in their native wilds. How- 
ever, Robert Beard, a Nebraska ranch- 
man, told me that he was down at his 
place on the Mexican line not long ago, 
and saw a herd of nine antelope, but 
nevertheless they are growing less and 
less with each recurring year. So, too, 
with the game birds, of which the supply 
and the shooting are in marked contrast 
with the abundance and the conventional 
license of a quarter century back. 
While in America we are in sad straits 
as to pur big game supply, there is yet 
abundant reason for encouragement. As 
a people we have been blind, but today 
we see. If proof of this is demanded, it 
may be found in our codes of game laws 
yearly becoming more stringent in their 
provisions. Whereas in the old days the 
notion that the killing of big or little 
game, either for that matter, might be 
restricted by anything else than the en- 
durance and skill of the hunter, would 
have been resented by the average indi- 
vidual, we have now come to the color 
of hair and eyes stage, where we recog- 
nize that we may take game only “in the 
manner, to the amount, and for the pur- 
pose” duly set out in the law. In short, 
we have acquired an entirely new way of 
looking upon our game resources, an en- 
tirely new appreciation and recognition 
of the relations which hold between the 
individual sportsman and his fellows with 
respect to the game supply. In these 
thirty years we have advanced a hundred 
in common sense. 
The hosts of sportsmen now, where 
there was a single one before, mean, too, 
that the game will be no longer assured to 
us unless we take care of it. When those 
who were enlisted in protection were com- 
paratively few, they were weak in in- 
fluence, and their cause was weak. Now 
that the many are concerned, their cause 
is strong. We have reached and passed 
the limit in indifference and negligence as 
to our game; all signs of the times point 
to enlarged public appreciation and con- 
cern, and to a system of game preserva- 
tion more and more adequate to conserve 
the resources of field and mountain, 
woods and waters.

SOME MORE GOSSIP 
To the Editor of Forest and Stream: 
1 HAVE read with amazement the arti- 
cle appearing in your February issue, 
“Some Gossip on Our Hunting Dogs,” by 
Lieut. Warren H. Miller, U. S. N. R. 
I have no desire to unnecessarily criti- 
cize Lieut. Miller and for this reason shall 
not attempt to explain here the meaning 
of the terms “Laverack,” “Llewellyn” or 
“English Setter,” but some of his other 
statements should not go unchallenged. 
He states: “Even the English dogs, 
Count Wind’em, Gladstone and Gath ap- 
pear in this pedigree.” Gladstone and 
Gath are American dogs. The former 
was brought to this country in utero and
