STOP SLAYING OF PHEASANTS. 
Haverhill, Mass., November 6. 
John A. Day, who resides on Park avenue, 
Bradford district, makes a protest against the 
wholesale slaughter of pheasants, declaring that 
■it is just as inhuman and unsportsmanlike to 
slay them as it would be to kill chickens. He 
asserts that hunters are killing this beautiful 
bird night and day and that a stop to the prac¬ 
tice should ! be made. 
Mr. Day says that the pheasant is one of the 
best destroyers of the gypsy and brown-tail 
moths and that as a matter of fact it is a shame 
to have them slaughtered as they are being slain 
in this section of New England. He quotes 
Joseph H. Mosher, superintendent of the state 
hatcheries at Wilbraham as saying that the 
pheasant is the best bird in the world for kill¬ 
ing the gypsy moth. He endorses the following 
attributed to Mr. Mosher: 
“The pheasant lives on all kinds of insects, 
and is the best friend the farmer has,” he said. 
“Beetles, grub worms, all crop destroying in¬ 
sects, fall victim to the pheasant. It is indeed 
too bad that someone cannot stop their slaughter, 
as the majority of people do not even know one- 
half of their benefit to humanity. 
“When I lived in Winchester, at a time when 
the gypsy moth was destroying trees and wot 
ing havoc in the town, I let loose a flock of 
pheasants into the pest-ridden area. Within a 
few months every gypsy moth and brown tail 
moth had disappeared. The pheasants had eaten 
them all. They thrive on gypsy moths and the 
state should use them extensively for the work 
instead of having them made a target for a 
gang of hunters that simply slaughter them.” 
Mr. Mosher believes the best way to stop the 
slaughter, if the birds must be killed, is to limit 
the open season. “Of course,’’ he continued, 
“the best way would be not to. shoot them at 
all as they are of such importance in combatting 
the gypsy moth pests.”

GIVES SPORTSMAN’S SIDE OF STORY. 
Gloucester, Mass., November 6, 1914. 
Kindly allow me space in which to express 
the viewpoint of the sportsman on the alleged 
“slaughter” of pheasants to which certain news¬ 
papers and societies are giving such exaggerated 
accounts. The efforts of these humanitarians 
to obtain the public sentiment in their favor 
would be commendable if.it were not for the 
manner in which they appeal for support, and 
in lurid reports seek to designate the sport a 
“Slaug-hter” and to criticize the Commissioners 
on Fisheries and Game for allowing the season 
to continue. 
The killing of game as mere sport is abhor¬ 
rent. to many people, but they should not be too 
intolerant of the man who obtains enjoyment 
and recreation in 'hunting this legitimate game 
bird particularly where the sportsman himself 
is instrumental in introducing and increasing, 
rather than in exterminating the game which 
he hunts. 
It has been officially announced by the Fish 
and Game Commissioners that some 3,000 pheas¬ 
ants were killed upon the first day of the month’s 
open season, which they have created in seven 
counties of the state, with regulations that will 
prevent either a “slaughter” or the extermination 
of this species of game bird.
