 coffee, a little jelly for venison, butter, pepper, and 

 mustard. Venison, fish, and game birds may be on the 

 bill of fare every day, but again they may not. No one 

 should start down the river depending upon a supply, as 

 the game is regulated and controlled by a multitude of 

 laws that the visitor knows nothing about. Preserved 

 fruits, meats, etc., are not necessary, though sometimes

 ramp stove and kit, which packs into a small space and is quite 

 portable. Lalance & Grosjean, of Beekman street, New York, 

 supply a very desirable kit also. A camp-kettle made by a firm 

 in Marquette, Michigan, is much used by the lumbermen, and is 

 regarded as an acquisition to a sportsman s outfit.
