Description

"As a result of the growing scarcity of game animals in this country, the supply of venison is wholly inadequate to the demand, and the time seems opportune for developing the industry of deer farming, which may be made profitable alike to the State and the individuals engaged therein.

An added advantage is that the business is well adapted to landowners of small means." -- p. 4
