Miss Helen Bartlett, a game breeder 
at Niles, Michigan, has a dog that Am- 
herst, golden and silver pheasants will 
go up to and pick flies off of him. Mrs. 
A. R. Black, another breeder of birds, 
near Los Angeles, California, had a 
dog that killed nearly 140 chickens in 
one night. Dog natures differ greatly 
and some dogs positively cannot be 
trained to leave game alone. A New 
Yorker, who has birds as a hobby, had 
an exceptionally valuable Russian wolf 
hound, a female, that snapped the head 
and neck off one bird after another. 
Some of the birds cost over $100 each. 


The 
for 
Game 
Using 
S for the cat, most of us know that Three Loads 
that animal positively cannot be 
trained not to kill young game birds 
and song birds. The only bird that 
stands any chance against the cat is 
the Canada goose. The gander ranges 
all his babies in single file in front of 
him, while the goose leads. The mother 
bird is always on the lookout for dan- 
ger. At the first sound from her, the 
gander slips forward and she slips 
back to the rear of the line. The gan- 
der does the fighting. This procedure 
is kept up until the babies are large 
enough to fight cats themselves. 
Guineafowl are also good at protect- 
ing their young from cats, though not 
so good as the Canada geese. But cats 
are so easily caught in any kind of 
trap, baited with fish, that this game 
destroyer is easily controlled. It takes 
a good fence to keep out dogs. Wal- 
lace Evans has a foot and a half of 
small mesh wiring at the bottom of his 
fences, then a five foot large mesh 
above that, making a six and a half 
foot fence, fairly vermin proof to all 
prowlers except cats, ’possums, rac- 
coons, and, of course, flying maraud- 
ers. 
Get the vermin before it gets the 
game. Give your boy a reward for get- 
ting vermin. His keen eyes will bring 
wonderful results, for there is nothing 
a boy enjoys more than getting ver- 
min. Jack Miner has a son in the mid- 
dle ’teen age, Jasper, who generally 
goes out for a while after school hours 
to the edge of the tall woods, hiding 
among the thick spice bushes and red 
cedars, picking off the crows and 
hawks as they fly over. He secures an 
extraordinary number of depredators 
with the result that uncountable num- 
bers of birds, both game birds and song 
birds, make Jack Miner’s home their 
home all the year round.

IRDS talk. My flock of wild geese 
talk to each other all day. Even 
when they are aloft, they talk to each 
other, as well as to those geese that 
have been wing wounded and cannot 
fly. Birds tell each other where food 
is and where roosting facilities, that 
are devoid of danger, are located.

WY HOFFMAN 
-375 Magnum 
OR the hunter who wants a 
medium weight rifle with great 
killing power, we recommend 
the .375 Magnum as the most suit- 
able weapon. This rifle has been 
put to the test in the big game fields 
of the world. And, asa result, it is 
being used by a steadily increasing 
number of the world’s most cele- 
brated hunters. 
The Waldron Expedition “from Cairo to 
Cape” is equipped with this popular 
Magnum. So is the Roosevelt Expedi- 
tion to Turkestan, and the Wade Ex- 
pedition in search of Kodiak bear. And 
in the hands of many hunters in our own 
north woods and the woods of Canada it 
is insuring more trophies than any rifle 
they have ever owned. 
We make rifles of this caliber as light as 
8¥4 lbs. with recoil but slightly in excess 
of that of the .30-06. 
The reason for the growing popularity 
of the Hoffman Magnum among the best 
known big gamé hunters will be apparent 
as soon as you have shot this fine arm. 
We will gladly give you specific details 
regarding the .375 Magnum or any other 
rifle you may be interested in having 
built to your order.
