for selling her some rather high-priced 
eggs that were not fertile, while the 
other lots she had had in previous 
years were so good. Upon inquiry, the 
game breeder discovered his keeper had 
been disposing of eggs on his own ac- 
count. If your prospective game keeper 
arrives smoking an old pipe, you had 
better not keep him as he will be more 
or less lazy. If he lights a cigarette 
every few minutes, he is too nervous 
and impatient to succeed and he will 
not be a success with your neighbors, 
for he must study them as well as your 
neighbors’ cats and dogs. A man might 
succeed as president of the United 
States, yet fail at game breeding. 
F you could secure one of those En- 
glish women, who are around middle- 
age, who ride horses, who shoot lions 
and tigers, you might have the best 
type of game keeper, next to a Scots- 
man, Personally, I like the canny 
Scotsman best of all, although I have 
seen some good English and Irish keep- 
ers. 
In game farming, as in every thing 
else, you will have to gain experience 
as you go along, but I will be glad to 
help you as much as is possible by my 
advice if you write me. Do not become 
discouraged if things go wrong or be- 
cause the work seems difficult. You 
will be successful when you think least 
of success. Many game breeders have 
stuck through the hard part of their 
work and are now reaping their re- 
ward. I just had a wire from a breeder 
in Alberta, advising a relisting of his 
stock for the late summer issues: This 
season’s breeding includes—400 pairs 
of redhead ducks; 250 pairs of can- 
vasbacks; 600 pairs of sharp tail 
grouse; 300 pairs of Hungarian par- 
tridges; 200 pairs of ruffed grouse; 
other birds. Send for price list. 
HIS breeder started:in a small way, 
with the idea of saving birds and 
eggs from his spring plowing and has 
gradually found that breeding wild 
birds is more profitable than running 
a grain and dairy farm. 
Some people think that breeding wild 
birds and animals on farms will mean 
the annihilation of the wild birds in 
their native state! This is an absurd 
idea, as is also the idea of putting a 
check on game breeding. Did stock 
raisers annihilate horses, cows, goats, 
sheep, yaks, camels, llamas, turkeys, et 
cetera? Game breeding is a phase of 
conservation that is absolutely essen- 
tial. 
Another idea that comes to the front 
rather frequently: Is there not a dan- 
ger, in game bird breeding, of an over- 
supply? There is no possibility of this 
happening in our day and generation 
at least; in fact, I think it will be many 
years before game breeders can supply 
the present demand for birds, to say 
nothing of the increased future de- 
mand. At present, some breeders have 
orders for their birds three years 
ahead. - None of them can keep up with 
their orders. There is no chance of 
the market being over-supplied. 
Game Breeding Questions 
(Mr. Corsan will answer queries 
relative to the raising of birds, as 
space permits. Address him care For- 
EST AND STREAM Editorial Rooms.) 
Query: Is it possible to raise sage 
hens on a game farm?—T. T. C., Co- 
lumbus, Mont. 
Answer: In your section it is quite 
possible. You will notice that the sage 
grouse are eating more and more 
grains every year, such grains as 
spring wheat, buckwheat, rye and oats, 
and that they are eating less sage 
leaves. Thus, they must be developing 
a gizzard gradually. It is their eating 
of sage bush leaves that makes their 
flesh rather objectionable.

cided flavor of coal oil, so rich are some 
of the coastal harbors with crude pe- 
troleum. But in Texas, and around the 
Gulf Coast, oysters and fish may be 
had. One can go out in the bayous and 
get the fish with his own tackle. 
The day when one could live on game 
shot from an automobile has gone by. 
Occasionally, along the highways, game 
is sighted, and in large regions the au- 
tumnal drives would give one occasional 
sight of quail, rabbits and similar pro- 
vender. Fishing is far and away more 
productive of table food than shooting. 
But neither is worth depending on, un- 
less one has unlimited time, and is 
willing to stop in bottoms and in back 
country to await the proper conditions 
for good shooting, or good fishing. All 
things considered, fishing is good only 
a few days a season in most streams, 
and hunting is never good, save in the 
remotest regions, and then subject to 
vagaries of supply and demand, li- 
censes and local conditions.
