There are many reasons to raise game birds, including pheasants, chukar partridges, and Japanese or bobwhite quail. It can be an enjoyable hobby, a rewarding 4-H project, a means of establishing or increasing local game bird populations, or a business venture. This publication is a thorough introduction to the enterprise, with information on types of bird, housing, hatching, brooding, preparation for market, and much more.
"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.
"The twenty-seventh annual summary by the Department of Agriculture of Federal and other game laws and regulations is here presented for the use of law-enforcement officials, sportsmen, conservationists, and others, as an aid in the administration of the migratory-bird treaty and Lacey Acts. The provisions as set forth furnish a brief and convenient synopsis of the laws. Provisions relating to methods of capture, game refuges, enforcement of laws, disposition of fees and fines, and minor matters are omitted, as also are texts of Federal and Canadian laws and regulations relating to birds and game." -- p. ii
Many farmers do not realize that small streams may be used in generating electricity. Electrical equipment on the farm saves time and labor, but if it is to be a sound investment the cost of installation should not be greater than the benefits obtained can justify. The purpose of this bulletin is to acquaint farmers with the possibilities of developing the power of small streams by converting it into electrical energy and the uses to which such power can be put; to give information which will enable them to avoid unnecessary expenditures; to explain how to determine the power a stream will supply; and to indicate the sources from which to secure additional information regarding the approximate cost of installing a plant suited to the power available. The details of design, installation, and operation of electrical equipment are not within the scope of this bulletin.
