Book Description
"The propagation of upland game birds is an industry of considerable magnitude in the United States, and there are within our borders some of the largest and most productive game farms in the world. Despite the large output already attained, the demand from state game departments and sportsmen's organizations for game birds and their eggs for restocking, from other propagators for additional breeding stock, and from fanciers and zoological gardens for exhibition specimens is so large that it is seldom necessary to dispose of birds for food purposes. Even when sale for food is necessitated (usually in the case of surplus males only), prices are good, as the demand is from the better class of restaurants, hotels, and clubs. Returns for birds used for the enhancement of sport are higher and as a rule entirely satisfactory to the producer."--Page ii.

Propagation of Aquatic Game Birds,

Pages : 48
Book Description
"The propagation of aquatic game birds in the United States is a small but growing industry. Approximately 50,000 wild ducks and 5,000 wild geese constitute the present annual production. some of these birds are bred by individual or organized sportsmen for their own use, some by fanciers because of their interest in birds, and others by breeders for sale. The market for two species, the mallard duck and the Canada goose, demands birds for use in restocking, for decoys, and for food. Sale for food is the exception rather than the rule, and is to better class of restaurants, hotels and clubs, so that good prices are realized. Species other than mallard and Canada goose are produced only in small numbers and are sold to propagators and collectors of ornamental birds and to zoological gardens. the demand for all the species exceeds the supply, and for all but the two commonly bred kinds is sure to absorb all that are likely to be produced for a long time to come."--Page ii.
