KINKS OF ALL KINDS 



"got' down to brass tacks" in the 

 following idea : 



First Two pads of paper about 

 6 by 8 in., one pink, the other 

 white. The pink sheets I use for 

 my fishing "dope" and the white 

 ones for my hunting "dope." I 

 use the following form, which 



barrel a fine polish. It seems 

 cheap, effective and harmless.

 map (if available) gives me all

A SHOTGUN CLEANER 



BY D. WIGGINS 



To effectually and harmlessly 

 clean your shotgun, use the brass 

 cloth used for straining milk.

A GOOD CARRYING CASE

 KINKER 



BY BERT RICHARDSON 

 Did you ever shoot out a wood- 

 en minnow and on retrieving 

 find the hooks sticking out at all 

 angles? Of course you did, like 

 myself until I "got onto" this 

 kink. I am not very strong on

 gets by Ye Editor's waste basket. 

 All you need is a piece of heavy 

 tin of thin brass cut out to shape 

 of "A," Fig. 1. Bend the ends

around screw eye and secure with 

 a drop of solder. 



I have found that this kink 

 makes a wooden minnow as near 

 weedless as it is possible to get 

 them, as the hooks are always 

 in the shadow of the body and 

 presented right for the strike.
