N 0 group of animals is more important to man than the one comprising the gallinaceous birds - the source from which has been derived the countless varieties of domesticated fowl distributed throughout the world.
As articles Of food they are Of inestimable value, and the birds enter largely into the various accounts of trade. But beside the commercial aspect, which is important enough, the species present other attractions that appeal most strongly to those for whom this book was espe cially written, the sportsmen - viz., the pleasure they yield in the Chase, and the incentive they provide for action and effort, when, in the leafy aisles of the whisper ing forests, or in the thickets, and along the banks of the leaping stream, or on the open sky-encircled prairie, man in his quest for these game-like creatures, aided by his faithful dog, finds renewed health and strength to wrestle with the toils and troubles of his daily life. For accomplishing this result alone, even if in all their life and death they yielded no other, these birds were not created in vain.
