Tor their protection as is To be found
in the United States.
To the above list of birds we must
therefore, add the names of all the
birds in all the countries throughout
the world which are usually killed for
food purposes" and the resultant list
is simply enormous.
There is another matter to which we
would call attention. Feathers to be
of value Ia the millinery trade must,
as a class be collected during the sea
son of the year when birds are en-
gagged in nesting and caring for the
young, for it is at that season that
their feathers have their brightest
hues and are in an unworn and un-
frayed condition. Let no one be mis-
led with the idea that game birds tax
en- during the legal season for hunting
possess feathers which are to any
marked extent attractive to the MILL
merry trade. We know of no evidence
tending to show that the plumage of
birds killed for food purposes is used
to any extent in the millinery trade.
on the other hand. we would call at
tention to the fact that Hon. William
l.. Finley, Game Warden of the State
of oregon. found that the Chinese
Pheasants. which have been acclim-
ated in that State, were being Killed
out of season for the feather trade
He found that the plumage of the cock
Chinese Pheasant in good condl,ioh
was worth $3.50 in the local market IN
Portland. which was far in excess OF
what the dead bird would bring III the
market a few months later.
