points, therefore the can will al- 

 ways hang plumb from it. When 

 your trip is over you keep the 

 bails and can the cans. The cut 

 explains the device sufficiently. 



WATCH SPRING WEED 

 GUARDS 



BY H. J. LOUD 



Broken pieces of mainspring, 

 which can be obtained from any 

 watch repairer, make excellent 

 material for constructing weed- 

 guards. A turn or two of fine 

 wire and a drop of solder fasten 

 the guard to the hook shank and 

 it may be bent to any shape de- 

 sired. 



I have found the shape shown 

 in the diagram to be a most ef- 

 fective one. 



AN ANTPROOF BREAD 

 BOX 



BY FRANK E. WILDER 

 One of the most disagreeable 

 experiences of camp life is to 

 come home after a long fish or 

 hunt, to the little log cabin for a 

 good supper and find that red ants 

 or cockroaches have beaten you to 

 it by several hours. What's more, 

 the women cannot be persuaded to 

 join you on a few days' fish or 

 hunt if they are "obliged to put 

 up with the nasty insects." You 

 say to yourself, "There is no use 

 trying to keep food from hungry 



red ants; what more can a man 

 do than to put his food into a 

 good bread box?" 



FLV 



PAPER 



Here is what he can do to pre- 

 vent those unpleasant raids on his 

 food supply which keep his wife 

 from being with him : Buy five 

 cents' worth of fly paper. Take a 

 sheet and cut it lengthwise in 

 strips. Cover the back of one 

 strip with paste (a mixture of 

 flour and water can be used) and 

 place it horizontally on the side 

 of your food container, as in the 

 diagram. Continue to paste on the 

 strips in the same manner until 

 you have completely encircled 

 your container with fly paper. 

 Now no bug that walks can get 

 into your bread box and spoil that 

 big meal you and your wife are 

 going to have after a day in the 

 open. 



A SIMPLE HOOK RE- 

 MOVER 



BY J. H. ROBINSON 

 Our friend, the Horned Pout, 

 has a very bad habit of com- 

 pletely swallowing the hook. And
