Publisher Description: This little book published in 1915 by the Hercules Powder Company was offered "in the hope that it will hasten the day when we shall produce enough game to supply abundant food, and health giving recreation." A manual on the breeding and preservation of quail, partridge, pheasant, wild duck and grouse. Contains extensive references to their natural feed, habitat, the control of natural enemies. Focus is on the need, based on the excesses of unchecked hunting practices for restoration of game through responsible breeding practices. It is a manual according to its author "on the farming of wild turkeys, grouse, quail or partridges, wild ducks along with introduced pheasants. Special reference is made to their food, habits, control of natural enemies and the best methods of preserving and breeding." |
