ABOUT PHEAsANTs AND OTHER FOWL

Some contend that if private owner
ship, sale and killing of any game
birds is permitted, it will accomplish
destruction of that bird by affording
game hunters an opportunity to kill
the wild game and palm it off on the
public as domestic stock. The Chinese
Ring-neck Pheasant is not a native
of this country. All the game laws
devised would not make the Chinese
Ring-neck a resident of this country.
That required private enterprise. An
American official resident in China
became acquainted with this bird and
brought some to this country The
bird was then unknown to this
country and on that account there
were no fool game laws to prevent
raising the birds. He raised many.
Most of these he liberated in Wash
ington and Oregon and as result
those states are now we'll stocked.
England is ahead of the United States
and Canada in many respects, one
of which is game legislation. In
England wild game hunting is only
allowed under regulations made by
parliament, but all the game laws of
England expressly provide it shall be
legal for any person to raise, ship,
sell and kill game for pleasure or
profit. The English sporting frater-
nifty learned of the success of the
Ring-neck experiment in Oregon and
Immediately undertook its propaga-
ton. Today the Pheasant population
of England is twice as great as the
human population of that island and
the Secretary of the "Field Sports
and Game Guild" of England and
Scotland gives in it's directory for the
season of 1913-1914 the names and
addresses of twenty-four game rails
ers who in that season set seventy
five thousand Pheasant hens. Don't
get the idea that this is typograph-
ical error The figure is 75,0C0 On
the other hand as soon as the success
full rearing of Pheasants was assured
in the United States, some of the foc'
game hunters, game commissioners
and Legislators succeeded in having
several states enact laws prohibiting
their domestic rearing and handling.
The result is that it is taking us a
painfully long period of time to put
upon a solid foundation an industry
that England made a success in ten
years. 1t is due solely to private
industry that we have the Ring-neck

CUT YOUR OWN HAIR
Here's the Greatest Announcement
Ever Made to the Men OF
America.

The inventive genius of man is
never at rest, and it is rot surprising,
after so many wonderful inventions,
to note that we can now cut our own
hair. This task, which has taken so
much time ana money heretofore, is
now no more difficult than simply
icOInbing lac hair. The device is
known as the Trio Safety Hair Gut
ter, and its use is exceedingly simple,
An ordinary razo: blade and comb
combined--you just comb aud your
hair is cut in any style desired. Many
diseases have been spread in barber
shops, and the sanitary features of
this device are all important. 1t re-
quires no experience or skill, there is
positively no disappointment, it Is just
as satisfactory for cutting your OWN
hair, as it has been for you to shave
yourself.
The Trio Safety Hair Cutter is very
, low priced and every man in the
country should secure one. Interest
ing details regarding the hairscutteI
will be mailed promptly on request
by the Trio Novelty Co., 221 Broad
way Market Bldg, Detroit, Mich.

FARMERS AND GAME FOWL

Also the time is rapidly passing
when farmers who own and cultivate
land will tolerate laws made solely
to permit some lcafer with a gun to
tear down fences, destroy crops, shoot
domestic animals, kill human beings
and outrage generosity fer the pur-
pose of calling himself sportsman
and killing game that the farmers
land has protected and the farmers
grain has fed. The time is passing
when game will be permitted to be-
come u public nuisance and destroy
crops of men without giving the
owner of the crops right to capture
and domesticate the game and cause
it to multiply and reproduce itself for
the purposes of sale to give the
farmer returns for his grain and time.
Game commissioners are frequently like
game. They live on the farmer and
do not contribute to his welfare or
support. The men who insist that
they be given the right to kill as
sport the game on the land of u
farmer are never heard of at the
county offices offering to pay the
taxes of the farmer on the land on
which they have trespassed.
The fine flavor of game birds should
not be reserved for those who tramp
over the land of others with a gun.
Very few are financially so situated
as to be able to spend time and money
"going hunting" The clerk, laborer
and mechanic who stays at home have
the same right to taste game favsr
that their more affiuent "sportsmen
fellow men have. Every housewife
who goes to market should have an
opportunity to purchase at reasonable
rates the best of game birds.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1915-09-23

in America. The states that inter-
fered with Chinese Pheasant culture
have in the main seen the light and
it is now permissible to rear the birds
in most states There are still some
fool laws to be repealed, but as they
are not enforced it is not matter of
immediate moment. One law to
which refer was passed by the
State of New York. 1t permits rear
ing and sale of Pheasants in the state
but forbids any person bringing any
Pheasant into the state. They say
that law was passed to increase the
number of New York Pheasants. The
asininity of such laws is self evident.
While the Ring-neck Pheasant in a
strange country and in all its differ
ent climates has thriven because it
has been raised by private parties as
a business enterprise, the prairie
chicken, native grouse, quail and
other native game birds have been
almost exterminated by disease
natural enemies, rodents and the
gradual thickening of the human
population which destroy their feed
ing and hiding places Give private
parties the right to rear quail as a
business and the interested persons
will protect, feed and care for them
and as consequence they will multi
ply. They will be reared and
| frequently sold to clubs and individu-
ais who will liberate them for stock
ing purposes.
Private and state hatcheries make
possible the restocking of our fishing
grounds. All the protective laws did
not increase the number of fish.
A man will protect his money and
if his money is invested in quail he
will protect quail. 1t was Buffalo
Jones who saved the Buffalo in this
country because he bought a few
specimens and kept them for their
increase. 1t is not always the hunter
that kills and eXterminates game.
Disease, starvation and lack of propec
care is the biggest factor in game de-
struction. In a wild state it is es-
, timated that it required all North
America to support two hundred
thousand Indians and it is estimated
the population of this continent was
two hundred thousand when Columbus
discovered it. But civilization and
comfort enable more people to live
in given territory than can can live
in the same territory in savagery
What is true of human beings is true
of game.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1915-09-23

quence they are very beneficial in the
garden. They do not dig up a
garden like hens Any person con-
templating raising these birds should
not be fearful that it is difficult
task or that he will not be successful.
We have much better results with
our pheasants than with any other
fowl that we raise. In handling the
pheasants, they should be caught with
a scrap net for the reason that their
legs are very long and very liable
to breakage and the chances are al
together too great of breaking their
legs to make it wise to catch them in
the hands or in any other way than
with such net.
The Ring Neck pheasant attains it's
full plumage during its first year at
from five to seven months. The
female lays from so to 120 eggs per
season. The eggs hatch in "a days.
The birds breed the spring following
the year in which they are hatched,

full plumage in its second year, lays
so to 40 eggs per season, breeds the
first year if the young hen is mated
with a -year-old male. They

hens and the eggs hatch in % days.
The Reeves attains it's full plumage
the first year, lays 35 to 40 eggs per

one male to not exceeding three hens
and the eggs hatch in 25 days. The
Golden gains its full plumage the
second year, the eggs hatch in 21
days, it lays 25 to 35 eggs per season,
and breeds the first year if an old
male is mated with young hens. In
mates one male to not exceeding five
hens. The Silver attains its full
plumage in the second year, lays 45
to so eggs per season, breeds the
second year and mates in pairs. The
eggs hatch in q days.
