The society's membership, so we are
told, includes many breeders who have
established game farms, like that proposed in Virginia by Commissioner Parsons and the Norfolk and Western road, for the purpose of renewing the country's supply of game fowl for table consumption. This supply, according to the members of the society, was rapidly diminishing, until a year or so ago, and many of the most delectable forms of wild food, that had formerly been plentiful in this country, had become rare dishes even for epicures. In Virginia, the people have been well aware of this fact long before it was brought out in the reports submitted at this New York meeting, but some other facts as to the good that has been done by the breeders of wild game are not as well known in this region, and, now that the subject of establishing the wild-game breeding industry in the old Commonwealth is up, it is well that we should become familiar with them.
Wild ducks and pheasants are among the varieties of fowl that are being raised by the breeders at the present time, according to the society's report the former have become so plentiful through the methods in some States that they have appeared on the market at prices which place wild duck within the range of the public generally instead of rich alone. In fact, it is suggested in the reports that at the present rate wild duck.  and other?
formerly rare fowl may actually tend to lower the cost of the more comprehensive meats of daily consumption!
