THE FARMERS NEW
FOOD MARKET,

The breeding of game birds
for food is increasing as an in
dustry by leaps and bounds,
The number of breeders has
has been doubling yearly for
two or three years past, and
most of them are farmers.
1t has been brought home to
everybody during the last ten
years that despite our thous-
mds of game laws and tens of
thousands of game wardcns,
American game birds were ran
idly disappearing. We now
know that if this great Ameri
can heritage-wild fowls ia
be saved to pOsterity, not laws
ami not game wardcns will do
II. 1t will be done by the farm
or who breeds them for foor
purposes.
Statesmen are beginning ia
see the folly of preventing PEG
pie by law from producing food
and selling it. The United
States Supreme Court has lust
decided that Notwithstanding
the migratory bird law, and
Notwithstanding any law that
moy be on the books, game can
be privately bred and conse-
quently being property. can be
sold for food. There are or.
that will protect any man who
Is interfercd with III this right
by orerzoalouS constables and
justices of tn peace.
The farmer who breeds wild
geese and duck. pheasant.
grouse and quail, will find it
very little more work than the
common barn yard chicken.
